Aoi Shota Interview
As Mikaze Ai in Uta Prince sama, Aoi Shota released his mini album. This interview will contain story about Aoi Shota as seiyuu and singer and of course story about his mini album.

-Please tell us what chance that made you into seiyuu or singer?
My old self is because I’m having high voice than other people, it made me had a complex about it, but there times when people listened when I’m singing a song, they said, “your voice is good”. Since then, a little by little I started to posses confidence and I’m thinking to make the best use of my voice.  Since I was kid, because I always like anime, I already experienced singing theme song anime. That’s why I wanted to work in field anime and games.

-Title of song “Blue Bird”, the song itself has refreshing feels in it right. When first time you listened to it, what do you think about?
I was like “Song that really makes you fly”, it means when you sing it you can’t stop.  For the melody and the lyrics I always consult Agematsu from Elements Garden so many times. When listening this song, from now on, only looking straight and fly, it really song that gave me courage. The lyrics is tells about to person that always support me, I want to deliver my passionately spirit that I put on these thing (the song). And while I thinking about “I want do jobs related anime”, those time when I had conflict in myself because there’s no courage to take a steps in this world, I wish everyone will rode these lyrics. I really grateful with Agematsu, he already experienced in making songs, and he made this song into a cool song.

-Where is your favorite part in the lyrics?
The first line in the end, “there’s a word that I want to deliver to my future someday (ride this name and fly)”. When I try to sing it, for everyone that always support me, I must fly steadily and once again becoming strong.

-How about the melody?
I’m trying to make best effort of my voice, with melodious and even digital check sound, Agematsu helped made this nice song. I think this song has melody that can be easily remembered by everyone. When you two or three times listened this song, it’s enough to get it replaying in your head. In performance live, I hope everyone can sing this song together with me.

-What part you recommend that must we listened closely into it?
When melody A start to move to melody B, when suddenly changing into dance tune. In one song when there is melody that suddenly changes like that for me it’s really interesting.

-This song really packed with feelings and challenges right?
Yes, I think it’s really like change business card for “Aoi Shota” into the song.  Because it had contents to message deliver for future myself, for everyone who listened into it, I’m really happy if everyone listened it as a song to encourage oneself to face the future.

-Again, in this mini album, there is a song that you made, the melody and lyrics already done recording [kimi no tonari de ‘beside of you’].
This song now tells my feeling I want to tell everyone that I put in into a letter that I wrote. This is a ballad song full of my gratitude for, of course for my fan, for staff, and everyone that always surroundings me. Again, there is a song that made by Kikuda from Elements Garden too. This song has a genre really high-spirited school rock, it’s like without thinking when listen to it I want to jumping high.

-Once again, as a singer, as a seiyuu, please tell us what’s your target?
From now on, I want to learn about acting and singing, I want to use my power to do such things, that’s my number one target. As a seiyuu, as a singer from the both way there’s a expressiveness if I can expand, I think there’s no such a power like that I can find elsewhere! While I met many character and many song, I must pour love into it. And then, if there’s a genre of song that I can’t sing, surely I can sing right.

-For the last, I hope you can tell your fan a message.
Since my debut I receiving many supports from my fans, but it’s feel I can’t return those feeling properly. But at least with this form (the album), rather than looks like a present, actually these are my gratitude feelings I pour into this album so I can return everyone feelings. Inside it there is PV, my own creation of melody, lyrics, and song, everything are packed into one album. I hope everyone can listen and I’m really happy if everyone who waits for it can enjoy my album to the fullest.

About Utapuri series as Mikaze Ai

-Where the differences when singing your own song and singing character song as Ai?
First, from consciousness it was different. When the day singing Ai song, from first wake up in morning I tried become Ai (laugh). The truth, before and after I act as Ai, rather than expressing feeling, I felt the different is when I start to put my feelings into the lyrics. I think lyrics in character song are a voice from heart of character. With that I feel expression that I learned from lyrics it was from Ai.

-Since woke up in morning becoming Ai it’s very tiring right?
No, because I can do acting with character I role at, I don’t think it was tiring at all (laugh).  Rather, it was fun for me.
