because i guessed at
priestnobaka's list
1. I'll make a list describing 20 of my favorite idols seiyuu, without using their names.
2. People will comment, guessing who each one is.
3. As they're guessing, I'll cross out the clues and add next to each one the answer, and who guessed it.
4. You copy these instructions into your journal and we play again!
** I'll probably leave this post open until everyone's been guessed. Have fun~ ☆
--START!!--
1. She's in Kyou Kara Maou, but I started to really like her in 07-Ghost. When you see her in pictures or as a guest in TV shows, she seems so timid and quiet and proper. You'd never guess she can voice such fiery characters in the titles mentioned above. ^^; Saiga Mitsuki -
shei 2. As I always instantly fall for uke actors, I only really like a handful of seiyuus who do seme roles. And he's one of my early favorites. I first got to hear him at Mainichi Seiten! as one of the Obinatas. He's also paired up with number 8 in one of my favorite BL titles ♥
3. I first heard her in Mainichi Seiten! And like number 2, as one of the Obinata siblings. I found this character a little annoying at first in the manga, but when she voiced him in the drama cd, I just totally adored him. Too bad she only appeared in the first cd. Another seiyu (male this time XD) took over her role. I hadn't realized until I wrote this down that she has the same last name as number 8 ∑(O_O;)
4. And yet another who became my favorite because of Mainichi Seiten. No, not one of the Obinata kids XD He has a very gentle voice drove me to tears listening to that drama. When I saw his name in Sakende Yaruze!, I thought the role was written especially for him XDDD
5. This guy has a lot of lead roles, and got some pretty big titles both in games and in anime. I remember having a very good impression of his voice in Gundam 00, though I never got past episode 1 of both seasons ^^; It wasn't until a verrrry short role in a drama cd based on a Hotaru Odagiri manga that I really fell for his voice. Hate to break your hearts, ladies, but he's married and is expecting to be a 'daddy' pretty soon. Miyano Mamoru -
priestnobaka 6. It was when I heard him in 07-Ghost's drama cd that I fell in love~ More so when I heard him in the anime *__* He gave me the deathblow in Anata to Koi ni Ochitai. After getting used to his mature and gentle roles, it was so awesome hearing him as a character who's so head over heels in love. He was so. damn. adorable. (*゚.゚)(゚.゚*)
7. He has the most suave voice. Whenever I start to like a seiyu doing uke roles, the first thing I think of is 'I want to hear him paired up with this guy' *__* He has the most outrageous hairstyles.
8. I love, love, loooooove his BL drama roles. Of all the actors, it's his crying voice I'm weakest to. o(>< )o o( ><)o From the moment I first heard him, knew I'd end up hunting down all the titles he's in. I haven't known him for more than a month, but in my list of BL dramas, he's second only to SuzuKen, who I've been listening to for years. For the sake of those who don't do BL, he's in a basketball anime and I've put him under his jersey number~
9. He's only just begun and this guy's already gotten an award O__O He's done lead roles in anime too, but I never watched any of them XD Although I do adore his most popular supporting role. First met him as the hero in the most recent sequel of a long running RPG game series, which happens to be one of my favorites. Kaji Yuuki -
priestnobaka 10. I first heard him and instantly loved his voice in Junjou Romantica. You'd never be able to tell from his voice and from his usual anime roles, but he can actually pull off a pretty delicate voice too O__O Since then, I looked for more of his uke roles and so far has found only two, one of them in another BL anime. Itou Kentarou -
shei 11. He has freakin' amazing chemistry with number 10. They worked together in Junjou Romantica, and even though it was their first BL together, they were just amazing *__* My first time liking his voice is from a lead role in a the coolest anime I've ever watched to date. But yeah. I never realized it was one and the same seiyu until I actually read the cast list XDDD His voice sounded THAT different to me. Clue: Just one minute... Kanna Nobutoshi -
shei 12. I honestly don't remember where I first heard her. Is it in Tennis no Oujisama? Or in her lead role as number 7's roommate in an almost-BL drama? (hint: Abe Miyuki) She does have supporting roles in some BL dramas, and the one I liked most is as one of Noboru's younger brothers in Saa Koi ni Ochitamae ♥ Minagawa Junko -
aozu-chan 13. I first started liking him in a variety show with number 9, when he held hands with said seiyuu... because they were scared to ride the rollercoaster in an amusement park episode after losing to a draw XDDD It didn't really help either that throughout the rollercoaster ride, number 9 kept calling his name XD And neither did them sitting together all the time in practically all the episodes.
Ichiman'nen to nisen'nen mae kara aishiteru~~~~♪
14. I first heard her voice in the anime adaptation of the gothic manga that's stayed on top of my favorites list for more than two years now. And HA! no, it is NOT BL. XDDD Anyway, she can play both male and female roles, as a boy in said manga, and as a girl in another supernatural anime. Hint: the excorcist
15. Although he has roles in more popular and longer running titles, I first liked him in Junjou Romantica. I just love how he constantly picked on number 10's character, and wish their crazy banters were shown more. He also appears as a guest in the variety show numbers 9 and 13 were in. And guess what? He's a pro when it comes to windsurfing O__O This is one totally cool oyaji p(*^-^*)q Inoue Kazuhiko -
shei 16. I don't think there's anyone into voice actors who wouldn't know his name. He's a pretty big name in the seiyuu world, has albums and even hosts a show. The first thing you'll notice about him (well, second to his voice, anyway) is his smile. That and he's soooooooo talkative. And I mean outside of voice acting XDD He, along with three other seiyus, make a cameo appearance in Kamen Rider. Of all the roles, of course he lands the dorkiest one ☆彡 Suzumura Kenichi -
priestnobaka 17. He's very well known for a lot of prince-like roles. And has some major lead roles under his belt. But he suffered a huge blow dealt in his career a few years back. I ship him with number 16 IRL XDDD Because!! They've been together for sooooo long to the point they've started picking up each other's antics XDDD Sakurai Takahiro -
priestnobaka 18. He has the most versatile voice. Can handle all sorts of characters and handle them damn well. From delicate to strong, uke to seme, heck, from a noble prince to a badass villain. He can act really well, and sing really well. I fell in love with him in his very first uke role, something that's so totally not obvious in his performance until I heard him say so. I giggled to no end when he called Hirakawa Daisuke who played seme "his first man". For those who don't listen to BL, he appears in a long running anime about mafia and the number I put him in should be a dead giveaway. XDDD Kondou Takashi ♥♥♥ -
priestnobaka 19. He's been paired up with two of my favorite seiyuus, with number 8 in a three-cd long BL drama, and with number 18 as one of the couples in Koi no Shizuku. And it looks like this guy isn't just good in voice acting, but also in acting. He co-stars in a BL movie that aired sometime 2007. Said movie also has a series of drama cds- he's cast in that too- and both are adaptations of the manga. Hatano Wataru -
priestnobaka 20. Perhaps the one and only seiyu I like in female roles, as I usually lose interest in anime female characters in general and don't really bother to try to get to know their seiyuus. I liked her in Nabari no Ou, as she and her brother were my favorite characters. (or more like, the only characters that made sense to me XD I was just 'meh' with the rest, including the main characters XDDD) Fujimura Ayumi -
aozu-chan ---
So yeah. Just to make it more fun, and for those just interested to know, here are some more fun tidbits about some of these guys. I decided not to name them just yet :p hey. maybe these can serve as clues to help you figure out who they are too~
*Number 6 is a as smart as the character he portrays in 07-Ghost. 日本大学 (Japan University) graduate. Economics faculty. Bastard. ( ̄へ ̄)
* You'd never guess from his name, but number 8 is actually pretty delicate. He's weak in the summer, probably because of a 'scary experience he once had when he went to the beach'. He has a very low tolerance for alcohol (limit is half a glass!! ^^;) It's pretty funny because my first love among his roles is also of someone who is so weak when it comes to drinking. Clue: Natsume Isaku ♥
* Number 9 Kaji Yuuki is nicknamed Ouji by both fans and fellow seiyu. The one thing that caught my attention about him (yes, more than his voice, his face and his overall adorable personality) is being able to play the piano. Not a lot of guys can do it, and look really pretty when doing so XDDD
* Number 16 Suzumura Kenichi once strained his back during voice acting. In Digimon, dammit.
* Number 18 Kondou Takashi fell down from the second floor window when he was young O__O And not so much now, but when he was younger he got mistaken for a girl a lot, both during auditions and when taking the train. Speaking of trains, yes, he did get molested a lot too XDDD He still looks really cute in some of his pictures even now, so I can definitely imagine him looking much more delicate ten years ago.
