Interview with Aina Suzuki, voice actor of Shoko, to commemorate the release of "SAINT CLOTH MYTH Eclaus Shoko" during anime distribution and broadcasting
- Mr. Suzuki was playing Shoko with a drama CD before this work.
This drama CD is my first choreographed work, and that also made Shoko a very memorable role.
- What kind of play was conscious of drama CDs where there is no picture?
Because there is only information about Shoko that is drawn in the original, I watched the comics and played my thought Shoko.
At that time, Director Mr. Aoko said, "Because Shoiko is such a child so much more energetic" "Because the voice makes me young, I feel a little bit lower," so I learned that experience was also used in this anime version I think that there.
- How was your impression of reuniting with Shoko for the first time in 3 years from the drama CD?
Three years have passed since the first drama CD and it was deeply empathetic that I faced Shoko again. So I did my best with the enthusiasm to pull a picture with my performance.
- Please tell us an impressive episode in this work.
It is a scene where Shoko stood up while being repeatedly tried in order to help her elder who became Elise (episode 4).
At first, Miyuki who was watching Shoko with a feeling like "Is this child able to fight properly" also boosted Shoko at this time.
People around me will respond to Shoko 's hard work each time the story advances, so I like that kind of hot expansion and I also want you to pay attention to everyone.
Head-Long Rush herself, who was a rush at first, will grow as well.
I am glad that I also saw the growth of Shoko, and I felt happy to play that growth process myself.
The first Shoko wanted to help her sister, I was rushing without looking around. But, beginning to realize that it is not it, it makes me feel like protecting Saori and Miyuki.
And everyone around me wants to protect Shoko, the feelings of thinking each other becomes a great force to stand against the enemy. My heart became warm with the development.
- Are there any hardships in scenes calling for Special Move "Ecclus Meteor Fist"?
"Please imitate the scream of the older sister of the first episode" and cried out with a lot of shouts, but I could not pronounce the last "__" because I put too much ciss. It became "Eclair meteor shower!" Many times and was re-recording each time (bitter smile).
In this way, Shoko has inherited not only sansei but also cry from her sister. Those who have read this interview want me to remember and cry when Shoko releases Meteor Fist (laugh).
――Please tell us your impressions of seeing the "SAINT CLOTH MYTH Eclaus Shoko" announced this time.
It is good to move with a wide range of motion.
Not only is cute but also the powerfulness of Shoko comes out and it is cool. Since the pose of Ecclusecar Fist is also strongly decided, I would like to decorate with the pose when I receive samples.
Also, various expressions for replacement are attached, and it is good that the expression can be changed by the mood at that time.
- Finally, do you have a message to the fans.
In "SAINT SEIYA SAINT SEIYA SAINTIA SHO", a powerful enemy named Eris, the evil god, appears, and Shoko and the others fight against it by burning their hot microcosms.
And since the Golden Saintly Warriors will also fight a hot fight, I think that it will be a hot expansion for those who are originally "Seiya" fans.
Of course, even those who knew Seiya through SAINT SEIYA SAINTIA SHO can enjoy it, and the story incorporates original elements not found in the original work.
By all means please burn the microcosm and please see the activities of Shoko until the end.
And I recommend this time's figure. It is a proportion in which feminine supple and powerfulness is expressed, and the hanging eyes like Shoko as well as face are properly reproduced. Since the range of motion is also wide, let me take various poses.
