"METAL BUILD CROSSBONE GUNDAM X-0 FULLCLOTH" Commercialization Commemorative Voice Actor Kappei Yamaguchi & Manga Artist Yuichi Hasegawa Special Interview

Interviews with the two major guests will be released prior to the start of orders from December 3, 2021 (Friday) at Tamashii web shop. One is Kappei Yamaguchi, the voice actor who was in charge of the PV narration for this product. The other is Yuichi Hasegawa, a manga artist who works on the manga for this work. It would have been difficult to produce the PV of this aircraft, which had no record of visualization in animation and games, without the cooperation of both of them. Please pay attention to the comments of the two people who can be said to be the key people of this product.
* This article is a reorganization of the content distributed in "TAMASHII NATION ONLINE 2021" with the cooperation of the editorial department of "Monthly Gundam Ace".
――We asked Mr. Kappei Yamaguchi to narrate the music video for "METAL BUILD Crossbone Gundam X-0 Full Cross" as "Curtis Rothko". Up until now, Tobias Aronax has appeared in various product PVs and other appearances, but this will be the first time for Curtis. How was it? .

山口勝平氏(以下、山口):やっぱり最初にオファーが来たときは嬉しかったですよ。これまでトビアをずっと演じてきて、その流れでカーティスをやりたいとは思っていたのですが、まさかこのタイミングで来るとは思っていませんでしたから、とりあえず『機動戦士クロスボーン・ガンダム ゴースト』を読んでKADOKAWAの編集部さんから月刊ガンダムエースも送っていただき、『機動戦士クロスボーン・ガンダムX11』も予習して(アフレコ)当日に臨みました。
――Curtis' voice was astringent and numb.
山口:ありがとうございます(笑)。
--Mr. Hasegawa was also present in the recording of the PV, but how was Curtis played by Mr. Yamaguchi?
長谷川裕一先生(以下、長谷川):山口さんは、少年の声がうまいのはもちろんですが、カーティスはそこから何十年も経って、人生経験を踏まえて大人になっています。しかも堅いだけの大人ではなくて、元はトビアなのでちょっと少年の茶目っ気を残しています。その感じをすごくうまく表現していただいたので、「おお!」と(笑)。

――Curtis looks like Tobia 17 years later. How did you play it?
山口:トビアについては、最初はゲームでキャスティングをしていただき、そこから長いお付き合いになります。ガンダム作品は他にも関わらせていただいていますが、主人公機体に乗れるガンダム作品はこの『クロスボーン』が唯一なので、やっぱり自分にとっての代表的なガンダムはこのクロスボーンになるのかなっていう感じなんです。
From there, I decided to play Curtis, but Curtis hides my identity or identity, so it looks completely different from Tobia, isn't it? So at first I challenged dubbing as if I should do it like a different person from Tobia, but on the day I heard from Professor Hasegawa that I want you to keep the Tobia-ness, "I am in myself. Tobia has to play carefully. " That made it easier to do on the contrary. I think people who went to the studio were worried about this and that.
So, this time, when I was a "ghost," I had the image of Curtis, who was about 35 years old. From that point on, you're about 50 years old in the current series ("X-11").
長谷川:そうですね。50代前半くらいです。
山口:ですよね。なので、ちょっとずつ自分の実年齢に近づいてきてくれているので(笑)、またそのあたり、演じられる機会があったら嬉しいなという野心をもちながら……(笑)。
――How about Mr. Hasegawa? Yamaguchi-san has appeared in the PV for "METAL BUILD CROSSBONE GUNDAM X1 FULL CLOTH", etc. What about your voice as Curtis?

長谷川:やっぱりね、感動しました。同じ人間が成長してきたんだという歴史がそこに入っている感じがしてね。キンケドゥさんの話をするときに、ちょっと素に戻るんですよ。そのあたりが「もう!もう!そうですよ!」みたいなね(笑)。そこをきちんと演じてくださっているんだと思います。
山口:今回カーティスのセリフで、トビアがフラッシュバックする場面が使われているのですが(単行本第9巻収録39話「決意」)、「うわぁ、どうしようかな」とそこだけ声のトーンをトビアに戻そうかなと思いもしました。でも今回PVですので、わかりにくくなってしまうかなと思って。ああいうシーンが、イメージをわかせやすいというか、「あ、同じ人間なんだ。トビアが成長してカーティスなんだ」と感じられるセリフで、すごく好きでした。
――Thank you for your wonderful voice.

「METAL BIULD クロスボーン・ガンダムX-0 フルクロス」のさらなる情報が!
The January issue of Monthly Gundam Ace, published by KADOKAWA in November 2021, will reveal for the first time additional specifications that have not yet been revealed for METAL BUILD CROSSBONE GUNDAM X-0 FULLCLOTH, including the product's original Full Cloth fully opening ver. A.N.I.M.E., and the equipment ver. A.N.I.M.E. of a "slow-burning high-heat bullet gun" via an armament mounting arm inside the Full Cloth!

Check the magazine for details!
> KADOKAWA Gundam Ace official website is here (web-ace.jp)

The new form created by the full cross fully open ver. A.N.I.M.E. will be revealed on December 2nd!

It is the ultimate finished toy brand that combines "the goodness of CHOGOKIN" and "design arrangement according to the work" through the hands of various creators. While the use of superficial alloys is suppressed because the motif is a real robot, the know-how of the CHOGOKIN series is everywhere, such as design arrangements that intentionally expose the metal as it is, modeling arrangements for mobility, and designs that feel the weight. It's alive.
