Seiyuu, Say me!
Choose 5 seiyuu before answering the questions that follow.
Do NOT look at the questions beforehand, if only because that spoils the surprise of things. There may be questions that, depending on which seiyuu you chose, you will not be able to answer -- if that is the case, please elaborate why. Reply to this post with your answers!
I choose!
Seiyuu
1. Mitsuki Saiga
2. Noriaki Sugiyama
3. Takahiro Sakurai
4. Kouki Miyata
5. Kazuhiko Inoue
1. If you had a chance to eat a meal with one of these seiyuu, which one of the five would it be? What meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) would you prefer to spend with them? Why this particular seiyuu at this particular time of day?
2. Was there a particular reason you chose your first seiyuu first? How about the others in the order you put them in? Were you thinking of them off the top of your head, or were you listing your favorites in order of the ones you like more?
3. Do your first, second, and/or third seiyuu sing? If any of them do, (or, if you're lucky, if all of them do), then tell me your favorite song from them. Have any of them sung duets together? Have all three of the seiyuu you chose ever sung together? (If that’s the case, then you must be very, very lucky~!)
4. Tell me the first role you ever heard seiyuu choice #1 in -- give the series name, the character’s name, and maybe a little bit on why you like/didn't like how that seiyuu portrayed that character. Give the same information for seiyuu choice #4, only give a bit more explanation as to why you liked/didn’t like that seiyuu in that role.
5. Would you write seiyuu #2 in a fan fiction story? Any particular pairings you would like to write about, if you could? [And the other party involved does not have to be from this list of seiyuu; you can be as creative as you’d like.]
6. List as many characters you can remember seiyuu choice #3 has played. Once you get to a point where you can’t remember any more off the top of your head, check animenewsnetwork (or your favorite seiyuu listing) and post a few more, including characters you may not have known that seiyuu has played!
7. As far as appearances go (as in, what the seiyuu actually looks like), how do you feel about all of the listed ones you have put down? Do any of them particularly seem more attractive to you than others because of their looks? Were you aware of what they looked like before hearing them as a character in a series? If not, then did seeing what they look like change your opinion of them at all?
8. Have #1 and #3 been in a series together before? How about #4 and #1? #5 and #2? If the answer is yes, what were their characters like? Did they interact well with each other like good friends/trusted companions, or were they enemies?
9. If you have or were to come up with an original storyline... would any of the seiyuu you’ve listed be cast as any of the characters within, if you could make the casting calls? ^^ Why is it that you would choose that seiyuu for that certain character? Is it their voice as a certain character they’ve done before? A quality about how the seiyuu act/look outside of the recording studio that reminds you of an original character, maybe?
10. If you write fan fiction for any series that these seiyuu are in, when writing the character’s dialogue, can you imagine the seiyuu speaking in that voice in your head when you read it over? Could you imagine it possible for the seiyuu to possibly voice that character from your fan fiction, in that fan fiction? ^^ If so/if not, why? Why do you think they would/wouldn’t be willing to do it?

1. I would choose Inoue-san! For dinner or lunch, because he is just classy~
If it was dinner, it would make it super classy.
Lunch, he would break out into his silly/win mode and I'd forget I was even eating lunch. <3
plus, if I chose Nontan or Saiga-sama, I'd be busy fangirling and freaking them out.
2. No real reason. When I think of my favourite seiyuu, Saiga and Nontan usually are the first to come to mind. Maybe because I regard Saiga as my seiyuu idol, I put her first; I also noticed that she is the only female in the list (but I mean, with her voice and her style of fashion, you'd think she was a man)
3. YES, all three of them sing! Nontan and Saiga have sung more, I believe (what with Nontan's two singles and Saiga's two albums + her singles with JUST).
* My favourite Nontan song would have to be Suigintou no Yoru from BLEACH; I think his voice fits well in it (I also like the fact that Nontan LIKES to sing, so that makes me excited). However, I can't forget Kogane no Hikari from Fate/Stay Night, and Pub and GO! from Hetalia either; I love him as England, it makes me think of a Tsundere!Sasuke.
god, I love EASTER from his On The Way mini-album too.
* For Saiga (idek why I call her that) it would have to be Farewell and Fly, Baby Fly by JUST shiroxkazuya. I think her voice is amazing already so omg, she fits the style that JUST has (Goddamnit, I need to download the album and mini-album asap!) But I also love Endless Loop from her Luster album and Toki no Shizuku from the Atmosphere album.
Ah, and one more. I love her from singing an entire song in English! We can share from Luster! Her English is quite good! I can actually understand it (unlike SOME people *cough*Ken and Go in black-out! I could only understand Okada in that song*cough*)
* and finally, Takahiro-san.
Okay, I don't listen to his songs as much.
But my favourite song by him is Shiro to Kuro from Kyou Kara Maoh!
I'm guessing that he and Saiga HAVE sung together somewhere (I mean, they're so cute together candidly!)
4. Saiga Mitsuki - First heard her as Shuu from Pocket Monsters. It was my love for the character that made me interested in the seiyuu. I wasn't overly surprised to found out she was a woman, because I kinda figured it out. I liked how she conveyed Shuu as a snobbish brat, but still compassionate and not overly evil; after seeing the Japanese version, I totally began to hate Drew's voice (I don't even call him Drew anymore! Shuu ftw.)
I did, however, wonder why she decided to lower her voice episode after episode though.
Also, if you read her old blogs, she would talk about Shuu~ I thought that was cute. <3
Miyake ken
Miyata Kouki - Okay, I don't know much about him. I know that the first role I heard him as was Murata Ken from Kyou Kara Maoh! I also know that he's in BLEACH but I haven't no idea what his name is (I know WHO it is, but...fail). But really, I started liking him after listening to his BL dramas. He has the most...adorable voice...and he does uke so well~
5. There's is nothing more to say than: YES, I WOULD.
I support Nontan x Junko Takeuchi.
Not because it's SasuNaru, but because if you hear them together on O! NARUTO Nippon! you can hear the chemistry between them!
And not to forget, there's the phot of him kissing her on her birthday~
Shy, quiet Nontan kissing high and energetic Junko...OMG OTP.
6. Takahiro Sakurai:
- Misaki Takahashi - Junjou Romantica
- Kanda Yuu - D.Gray-man
- Yuuri Shibuya who just HAPPENS to be voiced by Yuri Lowenthal in the dub LOL- Kyou Kara Maoh
- Sasori - NARUTO Shippuden
- Cloud Strife - FF
- Haseo - .hack//GU
- Fakir - Princess Tutu
- Edward Cullen - Twilight [ugh, totally not a Twilight fan, but I read he voices him so yeah...DNW.]
- Takashi Kamiyama - Cromartie High School
- Suzaku - Code Geass
wow, that's a lot.
7. To be very honest, none of them are exceptionally good looking. (except maybe Inoue-san)
Sakurai is cute when he has glasses on, but I don't think he's hot.
Nontan and Miyata shocked me when I saw their photos; having watched NARUTO first, I expected Nontan to be hot and srs and all.
And after hearing Miyata's voice, I thought he'd be all cutesy irl; apparently not.
8. Okay, first of all, I LAUGH at 1 and 3! YES! THEY WERE PRACTICALLY HUSBAND AND HUSBAND IN KYOU KARA MAOH. Also, Saiga and Sakurai had a mini irl thing where they'd go out to parks and cafes~ I totally ship it. oh who could forget Endrance and Haseo too.
1/4. YUURI AND MURATA. ahahaha, weren't they like...BFFs or something?
2/5 KAKASHI AND SASUKE. which happens to be my NARUTO OTP-- kakasasu ftmfw.
9. I already have my own original world~ And Nontan and Saiga are actual characters that the protagonist fangirls over (one of the characters is distantly related to Nontan too), therefore they would be natural in their voice acting.
Miyata would work with my one gay couple so well~
Haven't decided on the other two. ^^''
10. Well really, the only anime fanfiction I've written is Pokemon.
And they're all Respectshipping and...to some extent, I hear Saiga's voice, but...I don't think her voice could fit the role of uke (she irl has that kind of...SHE'S A SEME feeling.)
