Seiyuu Bulletin: "Tonight, Another Salute!" Special
Gambier Bay X Commandant Teste x Ташкент
The three girls try their own hands at making cocktails!? We discuss topics ranging from impressions on events to alcohol!

Truly wonderful! United by Jazz

Interviewer (I): Please tell us about your experiences performing at the Jazz events around New Year's, starting with last year's [2018-2019].
Uchida (U): It was my first time at a live jazz performance, so it was a great way to enjoy the New Year. What really left an impression on me was that in the performance, not only were we singing but so were the dancers around us. And though I grew up overseas, I knew about "Princess Mononoke". I can't forget how powerful Yoshikazu Mera-san's* singing voice was.
* Yoshikazu Mera was the singer of the theme song "Princess Mononoke"
Miyakawa (M): It was my first time hearing jazz live too - it was overwhelming. As one of the cast I was watching from the wings of course, but it was incredible. I thought I'd love to just sit in the seats as one of the audience members and enjoy it (laugh).
Tanibe (T): It was a wonderful moment overflowing with a mature atmosphere! I was fascinated by the force of the big band and the style of it all. I also fondly remember the three of us performing together as the Salute group.

Affiliated with Link-Plan. Also responsible for Warspite and Ark Royal, and performs at many events, where she earned the nickname "the grater seiyuu".

I: And how was performing at the Budoukan* at New Year's?
* A pretty prestigious venue for musical performances in Japan, probably just behind Tokyo Dome.
U: I mean, I knew we were going to perform at the Budoukan, but it didn't feel real until the day of. To the point of asking myself, "Is this real?" When we started rehearsing on that stage the reality of it all finally hit me and I got really, really nervous, but when it came time to the actual performance I was able to enjoy it all thanks to everyone rooting us on. The only thing is, the stage was full of world-class performers standing with us... I asked myself, awe-inspired, if it was really okay to be on the same stage, you know?
M: The Nippon Budoukan is almost like holy ground, isn't it? Just standing there is emotional. The performance and the guests were wonderful - it was all like a dream. Speaking of the guests, my family actually came to both the performance before and after New Year's. They said they were glad I debuted there [at the Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall] in the end of the year performance, but after the Budoukan performance all they talked about was Ryuugen Toshi-san* (laugh)! I was so happy to be able to on that wonderful stage and pull that time off together.

T: The casting really was extravagant, wasn't it? I thought it was an absolute luxury to be able to throw a New Year's "festival" with people of that caliber! It made me quite tense at the time, I remember.
