99 Seiyuu Meme
Yo!
I feel like doing a meme now, and since there are several new people in my f-list I met through the seiyuu fandom recently and haven't greeted them *waves at all*, might as well use it as an excuse to get to know me better about my seiyuu preferences? xD
Anyway, here goes =D
-----
1. Please give us your name.
Yuli
2. Please give us your birthdate and blood type.
July 26, bloodtype is B =)
3. Your occupation is?
Freelance translator with hardly any job at the moment =P
4. How long is your history of being a seiyuu fan?
Since 2009. So that makes it... 3 years =D
5. Please state male seiyuu that you like.
Hino Satoshi, Yasumoto Hiroki, Fukuyama Jun, Namikawa Daisuke, Suwabe Junichi, KENN, Tsuda Kenjirou, Tachibana Shinnosuke, Miyano Mamoru, Konishi Katsuyuki... etc etc. The list might go endlessly xD
6. Please state female seiyuu that you like.
Sawashiro Miyuki, Hanazawa Kana, Park Romi, Noto Mamiko...
7. Who is the very first seiyuu you knew of? From what title?
Koyasu Takehito, from Tales of The Abyss
8. Who is the very first seiyuu that you liked?
Somewhere between Koyasu Takehito and Miyano Mamoru xD
9. What male seiyuu do you tend to like? (e.g. A low and rough voice)
Those with warm, rich and calming voices. I tend to like lower voices too
10. And the opposite, ones you tend to dislike?
High-pitched ones. I can't stand it over time = ="
11. What female seiyuu do you tend to like?
Hm... those with soft, but warm voices. Or mature ones.
12. And the opposite, ones you tend to dislike?
Squeaky high-pitches or those trying too much to sound cute that it gets annoying
13. Have you ever been to an event, live, stage performance that seiyuu were in?
Sadly no. I'd love to attend one =(
14. What event was it? Around when?/For those who haven't been, an event that you'd like to go to.
Any Neoromance event will do. But a Corda event, to be more specific, would be perfect! <3
15. Do you subscribe seiyuu magazines?
Nope
16. Have you "come out" about liking seiyuu?
Only online xD
17. Of the people around you, fans of which seiyuu are there a lot?
Uh... Kamiya Hiroshi...?
18. Does your family also like seiyuu?
They don't even know what the word means! xD
19. You often watch anime and play games for the seiyuu.
I don't play games, but I often watch animes for the seiyuus, yes xD
20. You're also interested in variety shows and documentary narrations.
Yes. In fact I've watched several Japanese shows just for the narrations LOL
21.If seiyuu that you liked were in it, it doesn't matter if it has a minimum age limit (R, NC-17, etc.)
Doesn't matter at all!!! xD
22. If seiyuu that you liked were in it, it doesn't matter if it's a Boys Love work.
Same as above =P
23. Rather, do you like Boys Love works?
I do, but I'm not in too deep in that area of work ^^
24. Have you ever had a case of "This character's voice is this person!"?
Happens. Sometimes when I see/read about a new work I find too interesting to miss, be it anime or dramaCD, I'd look at the chara illustration and try to fit voices into it xD
25. Have you ever had a case of a sudden cast change that didn't go over well with you?
Hmm... not really. Maybe Haruka 5? But it was more like I was a bit wary that they changed the entire cast after getting used to the original cast from Haruka 1-4. But now I've gotten fond of Haruka 5 family! <3
26. Have you ever been surprised by the gap between (a seiyuu's) voice and face?
This happens a lot!!! xDDD Especially when I was still in the phase of discovering seiyuus, and when I saw certain seiyuu pix, I'd go "oh dear, he looks like THAT" xD
27. Are looks important for a seiyuu?
Plus point, but not necessarily important =)
28. There's been detection of a scandal for seiyuu you like! What would you do?
I don't care? But maybe it depends on the degree of the scandal too? But I've never come to dislike any artist I used to like just because of certain scandals though, so most likely it wouldn't change a thing.
29. Are there any seiyuu of the same gender that you admire?
Never thought of 'admiring' per se. Hmm... maybe Sawashiro Miyuki? This woman is awesome! =D
30. Do you yourself have confidence in your voice?
Errr... never thought of it. Not really?
31. Frankly, you want to become a seiyuu!
Haha, not at all xD
32. What is the most expensive seiyuu related good you've purchased? BTW, how much was it?
I've never bought anything worth more than a CD costing 4000yen xD
33. You've had a work that you've been anticipating disappointingly only be aired on WOWOW, BS, CS (pay cable networks).
No, cos I don't watch the shows live anyway
34. You've thought "I want to live in Tokyo..." before (For shows and events only in Tokyo/Kantou region)
Like, totally! xD
35. Extras (special footage, figurines, etc) that only come with a DVD don't settle well with you.
Tokuten in form of CD or DVD can usually be found online anyway. And I don't collect memorabilia so I don't really care =P
36. Turned into anime or drama CD, which makes you happier?
From a manga/game? Anime makes me happier, cos not only will my ears be satiated, but also my eyes xD
37. You listen to seiyuu radio programs.
A lot! Need a list? I faithfully listen to Kunitori, Hana Awase, Axl Wonder!! weekly, Gijin Kareshi bi-weekly, and sometimes the monthly Kindan Nama Radio too. And there are random seiyuu radios I'd listen to every now and then to keep myself occupied xD
38. You've had a postcard (that you sent in to a radio program) read before. Or actually, you live to send in postcards?
No xD
39. You've sent fanletters and presents to seiyuu you like.
I once organized mass fanletters with hiroki_chan for Tachibana Shinnosuke's bday =D
40. List the top three works you think to have a very luxurious casting.

- Saint Seiya >> My childhood memories. And I still follow all their works... OK well except the Omega series ^^;;
- Shirokuma Cafe >> OMG Mr. Producer, thank you for working on this anime! It changed my view about many seiyuus xDDD
44. Are there any seiyuu that, just by chance, (your) opinion of them improved?
Hino Satoshi. He didn't leave that much of an impact at first, and he grew onto me very slowly. But after discovering and rediscovering all he's capable of and all he's worth, he remains my no. 1 fave seiyuu =)
45. Are there any seiyuu that, just by chance, (your) opinion of them dropped?
Hoshi Souichirou, thanks to UraBoku. I've never disliked a chara that much and it influenced my opinion about the seiyuu too = =" --> but I'm quite neutral now, I suppose...
46. Is there an official seiyuu site that you always frequent?
Mostly blogs. And a lot of them. But Axl-One's blog is the one I frequent most. Like, everyday xD
47. Is there a seiyuu fansite that you always frequent?
A certain forum out there, some Chinese sites, some blogs =D

49. What do you think of fansites? Also, going through a fansite, has anything ever changed for you?
They're source of all kind of media for fangirling purposes xD
And yes, I've learned a lot about the seiyuus through fansites =D
50. Halfway point. A word at this lookback point?
Still halfway? Go on.

52. Please give a seiyuu that you really like the music for (you often listen to as regular music).
Just 1? Geez... then Hino Satoshi's. Including his Elekiter Round 0 works xD
53. Besides seiyuu, please give musicians that you like.
Backstreet Boys (forever!), Monkey Majik, Kobukuro, Wang Lee Hom... I'm recently into Rake as well =D
54. For karaoke, you mainly sing anime and seiyuu songs; or would like to sing.
Singing is not my thing ^^;
55. Your favorite anime/seiyuu song is?

56. What work was the start of your liking seiyuu?
Kiniro no Corda!

Not really, since I'm not so keen about non-Japanese movies anymore anyway *shrugs*
60. Please recommend some movies (Foreign, Japanese, Anime, all included)
Eeeh? Hmm... I really like the old Disney movies though, but I dunno if I can recommend xD
61. Do you work with doujin (fan circles)?
Nope
62. Have you ever used a pen name/handle name that was a take on a seiyuu or character you liked?
Haha, no. I'm not very creative when it comes to pennames/IDs, and the one I usually use (not this one), I've used since high school xD
63. Have you ever named your postpets, "Doko demo issho" characters after seiyuu or characters that you like?
Had no idea what those are and had to google. So the answer is no =P

Saiga Mitsuki, Park Romi, Sanpei Yuuko, Sawashiro Miyuki
72. Which male seiyuu do you think works well at voicing female roles? (WTF?)
Nyahahahaha. It's not WTF actually, some seiyuus do have convincingly done female roles! But the most surprising for me so far are Fujiwara Keiji and Morikawa Toshiyuki in mother roles!!! Too amusing xDDDDD
73. Which seiyuu works well at voicing an elder brother or sister role?
Paku Romi for onee-chan role, and Hirakawa Daisuke does onii-chan roles very well ♥

Hino Satoshi is GREAT at yandere roles! Like, seriously. He does yandere so well I get scared (><);;
"I wish that (seiyuu name) would increase the number of (_________) roles..."
I wish that Sugiyama Noriaki would increase the number of mature, non-tsundere roles. He sould come out from the stereotype ^^
And also
I wish that Saiga Mitsuki would increase the number of female roles. I mean, she's a woman after all. I need to hear more of her female side!
79. What male characters do you tend to like? (e.g. A nihilistic villain, etc.)
Yasashii, mature, independent charas
80. And the opposite, what kinds do you tend not to like?
Whiny, crybaby male charas I can not stand. Those who shriek too much neither = ="
81. What female characters do you tend to like?
Independent, but girly female charas. Or elegant and soft-spoken without trying too much =)
82. And the opposite, what kinds do you tend not to like?
Those that shriek at everything, too much moe, violent, and spoiled brats =x
83. Please list your favorite 3 characters.
- Tsuchiura Ryoutarou (Kiniro no Corda)
- Dragon Shiryuu (Saint Seiya)
- Nyanko-sensei (Natsume Yuujinchou)
84. Please give how long you've liked your favorite characters.
- Tsuchiura: 2006
- Shiryuu: 1991-ish?
- Nyanko-sensei: 2008
85. What do you think of entertainers (idols, actors etc) taking a stab at voice work?
As long as it comes out well, I don't really mind. After all even the renowned seiyuus have different backgrounds and starting points
86. Who do you think is an entertainer likely to try voice acting in the future?
I'm sure some Johnny's will at some point, though I don't really want to know.
I'd like to hear Miura Haruma do some voicework though =)
87. Is there anyone who you absolutely don't want to know that you are a seiyuu fan?
Not really. At least for now xD
88. One day, suddenly, a person who you thought never had any interest in anime and seiyuu talks to you about seiyuu. What would you do?
Shout "really?!?" and ask stuff about the seiyuus (s)he likes and see if eventually we have same preferences xD
89. A seiyuu that you like is bashed by another person. What do you do?
Nothing? What can I do anyway?
90. Speaking of major seiyuu, who do you think of?
Uh... Fukuyama Jun? And the C&D combi
91. Among the seiyuu that you like, do you think they're major (well known?) Or are they minor?
Only few are major. Most of them are either somewhere in the middle or lesser known
92. Do you think of yourself as a teenybopper?
Nope
93. Since you are cheering them on, do you want (seiyuu that you like) to become popular?
I do, but those people don't have to be on the top for me to continue liking them. And quality doesn't always equal popularity anway. In fact, I have the tendency to not grow fond of people on top among certain bunch. Too many rivals, LOL xD
94. Give a happy tidbit related to seiyuu.
Which one should I write... Oh, when Miyano Mamoru was 'attacked' by the rest of the cast in Hoshizora no Comic Garden event. He's the only cast who has never done any BL work, and the others started harassing him, like caressing him, sitting on his lap, and even sandwiching him xDDD
95. Give a tidbit related to seiyuu trying his/her best.
Definitely from Haruka 5 Hachiyou Ranman 2 variety DVD. There's this one segment where Shitanda Michael gave English lessons, and his 'students' Terashima Takuma and Abe Atsushi tried their best in reading long, cheesy lines in Engrish! It was really adorable, but I laughed during the whole segment xDDD
96. Give an embarassing tidbit related to seiyuu.
I'm sure I've seen/heard/read many embarassing tidbits but I can't remember any now. Hmmm... Oh wait, when Fukuyama Jun and Yasumoto Hiroki went to watch a movie together! Somehow they got a 'lover seat' and the theater wasn't too full, and since the one is a frail-boy-looking guy while the other is big and manly, people gave them weird looks, like they were a gay couple or something xDDDDD
97. About how much longer do you think you'll remain a seiyuu fan?
Since I'm not the type of person who gets bored easily, I'm sure for several more years, at the least =3
98. To you, what is a "seiyuu"?
People who 'breathe' life into 2D charas, and are capable to make you visualize a whole scenery just by listening to their voices =)
99. Good work, it's over. Give one last comment!
Ganbatta! xD
And people reading this, I'd like to know your answers too, may I? ;)
I feel like doing a meme now, and since there are several new people in my f-list I met through the seiyuu fandom recently and haven't greeted them *waves at all*, might as well use it as an excuse to get to know me better about my seiyuu preferences? xD

70. Are there any seiyuu/characters that you're good at impersonating?
No? Haven't even tried =P
71. Which female seiyuu do you think works well at voicing boy roles?
Saiga Mitsuki, Park Romi, Sanpei Yuuko, Sawashiro Miyuki
72. Which male seiyuu do you think works well at voicing female roles? (WTF?)
Nyahahahaha. It's not WTF actually, some seiyuus do have convincingly done female roles! But the most surprising for me so far are Fujiwara Keiji and Morikawa Toshiyuki in mother roles!!! Too amusing xDDDDD
73. Which seiyuu works well at voicing an elder brother or sister role?
Paku Romi for onee-chan role, and Hirakawa Daisuke does onii-chan roles very well ♥
74. What seiyuu works well at voicing a younger brother or sister role?
Hmmm... for otouto, Shimono Hiro? And for imouto Hanazawa Kana =)
75. What seiyuu works well at voicing a teacher role?
Yasumoto Hiroki! More like... I want a teacher like him, LOL ;))
76. What seiyuu works well at voicing children roles?
Sawashiro Miyuki. I love her Baby Beel ♥
77. What seiyuu works well at voicing the bad guy?
Koyama Rikiya? =P
78. You make one too! "(Seiyuu name) is good at (_________) roles!"
Hino Satoshi is GREAT at yandere roles! Like, seriously. He does yandere so well I get scared (><);;
"I wish that (seiyuu name) would increase the number of (_________) roles..."
I wish that Sugiyama Noriaki would increase the number of mature, non-tsundere roles. He sould come out from the stereotype ^^
And also
I wish that Saiga Mitsuki would increase the number of female roles. I mean, she's a woman after all. I need to hear more of her female side!
79. What male characters do you tend to like? (e.g. A nihilistic villain, etc.)
Yasashii, mature, independent charas
80. And the opposite, what kinds do you tend not to like?
Whiny, crybaby male charas I can not stand. Those who shriek too much neither = ="
81. What female characters do you tend to like?
Independent, but girly female charas. Or elegant and soft-spoken without trying too much =)
82. And the opposite, what kinds do you tend not to like?
Those that shriek at everything, too much moe, violent, and spoiled brats =x
83. Please list your favorite 3 characters.
- Tsuchiura Ryoutarou (Kiniro no Corda)
- Dragon Shiryuu (Saint Seiya)
- Nyanko-sensei (Natsume Yuujinchou)
84. Please give how long you've liked your favorite characters.
- Tsuchiura: 2006
- Shiryuu: 1991-ish?
- Nyanko-sensei: 2008
85. What do you think of entertainers (idols, actors etc) taking a stab at voice work?
As long as it comes out well, I don't really mind. After all even the renowned seiyuus have different backgrounds and starting points
86. Who do you think is an entertainer likely to try voice acting in the future?
I'm sure some Johnny's will at some point, though I don't really want to know.
I'd like to hear Miura Haruma do some voicework though =)
87. Is there anyone who you absolutely don't want to know that you are a seiyuu fan?
Not really. At least for now xD
88. One day, suddenly, a person who you thought never had any interest in anime and seiyuu talks to you about seiyuu. What would you do?
Shout "really?!?" and ask stuff about the seiyuus (s)he likes and see if eventually we have same preferences xD
89. A seiyuu that you like is bashed by another person. What do you do?
Nothing? What can I do anyway?
90. Speaking of major seiyuu, who do you think of?
Uh... Fukuyama Jun? And the C&D combi
91. Among the seiyuu that you like, do you think they're major (well known?) Or are they minor?
Only few are major. Most of them are either somewhere in the middle or lesser known
92. Do you think of yourself as a teenybopper?
Nope
93. Since you are cheering them on, do you want (seiyuu that you like) to become popular?
I do, but those people don't have to be on the top for me to continue liking them. And quality doesn't always equal popularity anway. In fact, I have the tendency to not grow fond of people on top among certain bunch. Too many rivals, LOL xD
94. Give a happy tidbit related to seiyuu.
Which one should I write... Oh, when Miyano Mamoru was 'attacked' by the rest of the cast in Hoshizora no Comic Garden event. He's the only cast who has never done any BL work, and the others started harassing him, like caressing him, sitting on his lap, and even sandwiching him xDDD
95. Give a tidbit related to seiyuu trying his/her best.
Definitely from Haruka 5 Hachiyou Ranman 2 variety DVD. There's this one segment where Shitanda Michael gave English lessons, and his 'students' Terashima Takuma and Abe Atsushi tried their best in reading long, cheesy lines in Engrish! It was really adorable, but I laughed during the whole segment xDDD
96. Give an embarassing tidbit related to seiyuu.
I'm sure I've seen/heard/read many embarassing tidbits but I can't remember any now. Hmmm... Oh wait, when Fukuyama Jun and Yasumoto Hiroki went to watch a movie together! Somehow they got a 'lover seat' and the theater wasn't too full, and since the one is a frail-boy-looking guy while the other is big and manly, people gave them weird looks, like they were a gay couple or something xDDDDD
97. About how much longer do you think you'll remain a seiyuu fan?
Since I'm not the type of person who gets bored easily, I'm sure for several more years, at the least =3
98. To you, what is a "seiyuu"?
People who 'breathe' life into 2D charas, and are capable to make you visualize a whole scenery just by listening to their voices =)
99. Good work, it's over. Give one last comment!
Ganbatta! xD
And people reading this, I'd like to know your answers too, may I? ;)
