Interview Articles #41 Voice Actor Hiroaki Hirata

In a nutshell, it was a shocking work.

The first time I heard about "TIGER & BUNNY" was at a place where the director and all the executives of the program were present. So I was told what kind of work "TIGER & BUNNY" was, but more than the interesting content, such as the concept of heroes fighting with company logos on their backs, director Sato Keiichi and the staff were passionate about it. That's why I thought it would definitely be an interesting work.

But less then I asked the station, "What USTREAM ···, it?" Soup (laughs). Staff think hot, but there was also some resistance is after you try the dubbing, I was thinking too good Do not, I. Reputation before broadcasting to compliment guess I am not be said to be good. In fact, USTREAM access speed of the first episode is the case was about 1500 access. It'm a blink (laughs).

It's character itself very nice that Nagasone Kotetsu, I was confident that it would broadcast can be put to some extent received if Hajimare.
But, I did not think the support of so far is obtained.

- I think that it could not be expected as a single person.

It is just one person, executive producer of Ozaki (Masayuki) 's only, was fully say I, "is expected" (laughs). But I had thought that it is an absolute lie.

■ not decorated I want to decorate! So looking and grinning

――There are various figures of WILD TIGER and Toru Toru in the seat of this interview, but I would like to hear what Mr. Hirata was interested in and his impressions of the figures.

The figures (S.H.Figuarts) of this WILD TIGER are small but elaborately made down to the smallest detail. When I first saw it, I thought it was small, but when I thought about putting it on my desk, it was just the right size.

So, as you all know S.H.Figuarts figure was first released in WILD TIGER, and then Burnaby was released a month later, right?

So I knew I think everyone think I if not a princess hug (laughs). When we got the real thing, "Morita, or Which could well princess hug with two people, you can Twitter, I will ze to compete because increase in the blog," I was talking about me. But, we have had been up a lot of pictures of your princess hug immediately after release. Well, how much you do try to reverse the pattern, which is also full up. So "quit was, quit," said (laughs).

――It's not too late now (laughs). S.H.FiguartsWILD TIGER Mr. Hirata, how do you keep it at home?

Interview Articles #41 Voice Actor Hiroaki Hirata

I I do not particularly mean that figure fan, I because it is male. Chest is momentum and is touching the figure.
That's why I try not to open the box of the WILD TIGER prawns I received.

Open When the last, is not it want decoration assembled.
Decorate and definitely, my house cat I lie in wait for. Dangerous and, I do not decorated (laughs).

So, I got to grin looking to open the box when it becomes ha (laughs).

- It to cat is very even swallowed the parts. So, what Nagasone Kotetsu of chibi-arts latest work that is at hand is how?

Here, on the other hand, I thought I "Big Do" (laughs).

But, I like the ones that had been put on the market is (de Petit) and the difference between the face and the hands of the parts are recombinant ever. Hey Can I try replacement? (And, immediately change to Nagasone Kotetsu having to hand the fried rice). In the name of because it is your job to do this, it is welcome since assembled the figures. This is me alone, yet when I toying with a laugh grinning his play was a character, a little embarrassed me "how much they I love."

Interview Articles #41 Voice Actor Hiroaki Hirata

~ Or doss face with mayonnaise fried rice. Naa still seen better of doss face with bunny doll (laughs). But, mayonnaise fried rice we have of this tiger Toru, but it is because Nagasone Kotetsu is the favorite mayonnaise. But, first, I Nagasone Kotetsu did not know that what I like mayonnaise. If you think, I think I had been saying, "If you put the mayonnaise anything" in Speaking the next notice. But there is only there, it's me and everyone responds well.

Next time notice would have us to everyone looking forward to the next notice?
It is, but I have a high degree of freedom or rather leave it because you have deviated from the main, I do become interesting if to what kind of wind, had been asked to pretty to do by using a nerve.

――Which of these is your favorite item?

Interview Articles #41 Voice Actor Hiroaki Hirata

Mmm, none but I like ....
I me, but from the very first have to say much, I'm fucking suit version you want.

But it was also elaborate a very nice thing, which was exhibited in "TAMASHII NATION 2011", not a long. Soft Vinyl! Soft it's good. So I guess that sell only in the mom-and-pop candy store (laughs).


But mom-and-pop candy store is a joke, I'm losing commodity specific treatment is good. But it's going to be on the outskirts prize that rare to get from would want everyone.

If over there is difficult, if Toka Kusosutsu of Kuchakucha went into the attache case that decorate the side of the Nagasone Kotetsu of Figuarts ZERO?
By all means please to achieve in the next gift planning, Best regards! (Lol)

■ hit the Wild! ! The most popular ... !? of campaign

――This time, “I will hit TIGER & BUNNY wild! ! I have an interview after the recording of "Campaign". Mr. Hirata, what prizes are you interested in?

There is no doubt that WILD TIGER 's face open will be a hot topic. But I think it's Mr. Saito (laughs). Everyone will aim for Mr. Saito! I want it too. Did Inoue (Go), who played Keith, also said that he wanted Mr. Saito? It's very popular, isn't it?

After the mentioned TV anime series favorite character other than the tiger Toru in, I think I know after all Saito. I would not want to lift only so much Saito-san (laughs). After, Ota (Shinichiro) Kimi played hero TV announcer of Mario.

Interview Articles #41 Voice Actor Hiroaki Hirata

Also, I always say this, but there will be a "TIGER & BUNNY" event, right? So he and Mr. (Yuko) Kaida (playing Agnès) performed live from the sound table. I would love to see this. That's why I do live viewing. So, Origami is not at the main venue (laughs). I'm lost in a theater somewhere. There are also broadcasts from such venues.
In that way, I think that this work is various play.

- But it is a title that adults could do a fool in earnest. Nagasone Kotetsu own, ... or rather the brackets bad is cool.

Where he thinks a good parentheses, I because you have big time shift.
Such Nagasone Kotetsu is either really say that nature for me, easy to do.

It was easy to grasp the very character Come to end. It does not mean there was no part to worry about the "how far?", Etc. Sajikagen of the place to be lovestruck for my daughter, but I was pretty smoothly, such as rubbing alignment of the supervision of the hot-blooded fool part.

Even the voice alarm lines I recorded today, I had to modify them by saying, "I think Kotetsu would say it like this," which is quite unusual for me. In other works, there are lines that I feel are "different," but I can't figure out how to change them to make them sound like that character. Characters I've played for over 10 years, like Sanji from "ONE PIECE," have the experience to do so, so they come out naturally. But in the case of Kotetsu, even though I've only played him for 25 episodes, I can naturally think, "I think he would say this part like this."

- It is this alarm, the set of the interesting Nagasone Kotetsu and Barnaby. Usually another becomes likely ....

There is, or will not it result defended also the work concept of goods deployment of "buddy stuff."
I was very particular about from the stage of animation planning to thing called "Buddy".

In order to firmly show the bonds of buddy also in the works, it because the first half was not thoroughly hated the Nagasone Kotetsu in Burnaby. Although I was Mon Noh weather, Morita Mr. I was struggling. Also doing cool "is I will have to cool" is NG What because thus handed down love me. "I you I hate" is also in the dialogue that is not good when the message would ride called "So by the like".
The production to be not 's it about Buddy, the first half I've been to.

Nagasone Kotetsu even though Burnaby also'm charming character alone, more attractive is increased more by a buddy.
So it's good. But the girls' s voice of Burnaby is I'm not wake up (laughs).

――Speaking of the shit suit you mentioned earlier, it seems that you will get a hero card as a bonus for advance tickets for "The Movie & BUNNY -The Beginning-". Also about the The Movie, please send a message from Mr. Hirata!

Like the fans, I'm I also looking forward.

When the voice recording was over, I me a little from everybody because we know the story before proudly (laughs).

In fact, it's been a year since the broadcast ended until the The Movie.
To be honest, I was worried that the fans would be waiting for me during that time, but with the development of item like this, I was always talking about it. Thank you. But don't all the fans overdo it ~? (Lol).
