One Interesting Survey/Meme
I ganked this survey/meme at seiyuu
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!
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?

Responses
1. A dinner with Koyasu-san. No, it's not a date! (And that will never be!) It's actually a casual, but special dinner with him. I choose dinner because it's comfortable for me, since it was evening, and after working hours, there are many things to talk about. And why him? He's my first seiyuu love, and I want to tell him how much I admire him XDD
2. I shuffled it, intentionally. My most favorite should be at the middle!
3. Actually..YES THEY ARE!! For Minajunko, my favorite so far is Precious Days, For Midorikawa is Flying Away and for Koyasu is Wish Upon A Star and Shinjitsu. I know Koyasu and Midorikawa sang together. Their song was "China Doll".
4. Minajunko's role was Ryoma Echizen from Prince of Tennis. I really like Ryoma's voice. She's good, actually. For Ogata-san, her role was Kurama from Yuyu Hakushu. He's one of my favorite characters. Like Minajunko, I love hearing her as a man's voice. And does fits to play as Kurama.
5. Ummm...sure, why not! If I'm going to make a pairing, that would be with Okiayu Ryotaro! Hehe..
6. OMG....Koyasu-san....That's PLENTY!!!Come to think of it. Isn't he the top 1 most prolific seiyuu accdg. to ANN? Take a look to this link:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=662
It's about 365 castings (the last time I check was only 344)
7. Let me talk about each of them:
Junko Minagawa - I saw her first at ANN. She's very lovely! I'm aware of Ryoma's voice already, but I didn't know it was her until I saw her profile at ANN. I like her even more! A beautiful seiyuu can make a voice of a young boy!
Hikaru Midorikawa - aside from Koyasu's name, it's was his name that is always registered on my head whenever we talked about seiyuu. The first anime I saw with him was...Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. I love the he portrays a serious character. He has a sexy voice! I'm not aware how he looks like so I check on the net. And what would you know, he's kinda pretty! There are no other reactions about it. It was like "Ahhhh....ok...so that's him."
Takehito Koyasu -when they talked about seiyuu, he is the first one I think of first. I first heard him at Fushigi Yuugi. I'm not aware of the seiyuus before. But, I do love Hotohori's voice. I just fell in love with his voice in an instant! Omigosh, The character is so handsome, so as his voice! After I saw him in one of Weiss pics....OMG...I mean it....OMG...He is such a hottie!!! I'm expecting that he's good looking, but it's more than I expected!!! Then after I heard his song "Someday"....he's got a very sexy singing voice, and again, I instantly fell in love with it!
Megumi Ogata - I saw her first at one website. She's pretty in some ways. But I didn't know she can do a high-pitched voice aside from young man's voice. She's my inspiration for doing a high-pitched young girl's voice, despite for being horizontally challenged (I am horizontally challenged, as well)
Tomokazu Seki - The first series I heard him is as Haru Glory in Rave. But I knew him already, since I'm fangirling Weiss Kreuz before, and he's one of the seiyuus there. His voice was an ok for me. But I almost faint how he looks like...He's so handsome!!!XDDDD Ken's seiyuu is very handsome!! Then I heard his singing voice (thanks to Weiss Album)....he's even have a gorgeous singing voice!!
8. There's a series where Seki and Midorikawa are there. It was Tales of Destiny, along with Kikuko Inoue. They're companions as far as I know.
9. This is interesting. I made a sci-fi fantasy for years. And I want all of them to be one of the casts.
I want Midorikawa and Seki will be the voice of my two male lead characters. Midorin's character will be a serious, harsh, but very soft-hearted to his loved one. I remember the character as Tamahome, only that my character is hard-to-get. For Seki, the character is lovable, funny, and has a sense of justice. Reminds me of Shuichi Shindo. I would love to see how Seki would act as he put the voice to my character. I like Koyasu to be the voice of the main antagonist (that is, the former ally of the two male characters) Mysterious, evil, but sexy. The character is like Zechs Merquise.
For the girl characters, Ogata can be a hyper, bubbly and a clumsy type of girl. Since she high-pitched voice, maybe she can do that part. MinaJunko will play a mature, modest lady, but can fight at all cost. Her character is more to Megumi Hayashibara's or Kikuko Inoue's role, but I would like to see how can MinaJunko can portray it.
10. In my Prince of Tennis/Slamdunk drabble, I imagining that Ryoma (MinaJunko) and Sakuragi (Takeshi Kusao) debated for what's a best sport. Same as to Weiss Kreuz. It's a crack fanfic where was so angry and the other boys didn't know how could they manage Ken's anger. It's like I'm hearing Tomo Seki voice that is exaggeratly angry!
FINISH!
