Okawa san's 2009 Year's End Photos and Message Translations

Jan 02, 2010 06:22

This content was updated on Tostation during 30th of December 2009.
Okawa san hasnt been writing up alot for us fans during this year.
Having Okawa san write so much about his happenings during the year,
was a very big surprise for fans like me <3

Though they said it's prohibited to repost this material without permission.
But I can't resist the temptation to share this joy with other fellow fans.

I wont copy the original Japanese writings which Okawa wrote on Tostation,
I will only post my own translations of the writings on here.
Also I'll put all the translations under LJ-Cut,
it wont be as bad in breaking their rules I guess :-/
Anyhow, Apologies to Okawa san and Tostation for bring their material over m(_ _)m

■ Thank you so much once again this year ■

As to bring an end to the year of 2009,
Photos and Messages has been received from Okawa san.

========================================

Thank you so much once again this year.
The are various photos from the second half of the year.

During this year, there were 2 jobs which were different from the usual.

One of them was, called『15 - 1A (Should be read as: Ichi go ichi e)』.
I recieved an inteview published on the 1st issue of a magazine
which was made by Senior High School students.

In this photo are Matsumoto Saki san and Aso Erika san
(I have no idea what the correct pronunciation for their names are,
these are just brief translations from a translation site X_X),
whom were responsible for data collection during the interview.


Another one was during the start of December.
I was invited by the folks from The International University of Kagoshima,
it was the first time since I was born to have ever done something called a Speech.
Surrounding the Speech Topic of
「The relationship between Haiyuu (Actor) ,Seiyuu and Okawa Toru san」,
from the matters on stage to the matters since starting to be a Seiyuu were all being discussed about.

Anyhow, the photos from the Speech right?



As a matter of fact,
the place near this University,
had been the place I have been living in about 40 years ago.

The next day, before I took the flight I had a walk.
The City of Kagoshima had a municipal railway running through it.
During my childhood I had been always riding on them.



The Elementary School and Senior High School which I have attended at.


The park which I have went to alot during my Childhood.
It was truely a day worth cherishing about.


Around August, i went to a private event to see Gundam~.
The amount of people there were amazing.



One more Spoiler following the private event.
Because Ogikubo's “Tori mo to” shop which appeared in
Ghost in the Shell 2nd GIG Archive』was going to move,
therefore I decided to pay it a visit.

This was a shop which started business in front of the train station right after the war.
It seems like the shop is gonna move because of the development in front of the train station.
In Ghost in the Shell, even though it was placed in the future,
yet the shop was still in business in the same position...



In the same summer, there was a Pachisuro (Bead gambling machine) for 『Tenchu』.
Because I could not play Pachisuro, here's me and the poster in front of the shop.


The last show from Tears to Tiara Radio
Being together with the CV of Arthur Ishii “Makotsu” and the CV of Riannon Gotou Yuuko chan.
This was the last Tears to Tiara relating job avaliable.
It would be nice if I could be able to do it once again.


This was from 『Tatakau Shisho The Book of Bantorra』's Private Preview event.
Hamyutsu Meseta's CV Tyrant Paku Romi [<----lmao Poor Paku san XD],
(The Senshu Okawa san in the sentence was referring to was 僭主,
it was a pain to figure this out...=_=||
I wish Okawa san had used Kanji in this sentence instead)
Kyasariro's CV Hirohashi Ryou chan.
Amongst all the work I am currently doing now,
I am especially into spirit with the role of Matt Arasuto /
the role of Matt Arasuto turns out to be my special favourite,
I will work hard on it.



Sengoku Basara 3』's stage show was held at Uzumasa
(aka Toei Uzumasa Movie Village) of Kyouto / Kyoto.


Went into Kyouto / Kyoto the night before the event.
I dined together with Producer Kobayashi.
It was my first time going to Pontochou.


And then Uzumasa Eigamura (Uzumasa Movie Village)!!
This was my 1st time here was well.


The Talk Show was held in this Nakamuraza.
(Nakamuraza was one of the 4 famous theatres for Kabuki [A Unique Japanese kind of performance]
during the Edo period, I am not going into detail with the history stuff since I dunno much about it :P)




Before the Talk Show, I finally got the chance to met Tadakatsu.
I am so happy, Tadakatsuー!! *In Tokugawa's tone rofl*


Included in the『Neo Angelique Special Arcadia Holiday』DVD.
(Okawa san cooking *slur*)


I think the stuff which is all wrapped up could still be seen quite clearly,
it's the cuisine which were made by us the Black Apron team.
The cuisine which was given to guest Endou Aya chan for tasing was a beautifully served Bentou.
For more details please watch the DVD!!
It was really delicious.
These were photos taken during mid-night and,
when everyone was trying out the cuisine a sort of strange tension arose.


This was the looks of a Neko Cafe / Cat Cafe which was taken on another day.
Iyaaaaa~It was so cute!!
This was taken from The hill of freedom's 「Marsa Smith」.
I want to go there again. Should I go? No, I must go there.


Went to Makuhari Messe to watch the show known as
『Macross CrossOver Live』.
This was being left at the place, “Nyan Nyan Segway”.
Behind the business sign was Sheriru Endou!


The other day, also held at Makuhari Messe was JumpFesta
It was the place where,
Tatakau Shisho The Book of Bantorra』's stage show was being held at.

Together with Nojima Enriken Hirofumi kun, Nakumura Voruken Yuuichi kun,
Hirohashi Kyasariro Ryou chan.
Would it have been the cheering from Nakamura kun's entrance,
which made the host of the stage show Producer Kawase's head all blank?
Could that be the reason why there was so much sweating going on......?


After the stage show was over,
I was being called over to the Capcom booth.
I was being given to test play the game of 『Sengoku Basara 3
It was unbearably interesting.
Really wanna play it sooner, utterly to say leaving the place.
A photo of the calender which had been given.


Lots of things happened this year,
Thank you so much for the continuous and continous unchanging support.
In the coming year, please take care of me as well.
Also everyone please have a nice year.

――Okawa Toru

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Okawa san!!
Wish you and your family good health,
also wish the best of luck to your work.
I will support you with my fullest for the 2010 year!!
Ganbatte!!
