ab：Junta, it's your 3rd time visiting Fukuoka and Yuma, it's your 2nd, you guys looking forward to do while you’re here?

Terashima： Last time I was here, it was promoting the previous "kinpri" film. However it was like get there, promote the anime and leave. I searched for a good light "tori baitan" (chicken soup) ramen place and went there to eat. I uploaded a picture of the ramen on Twitter. I got a lot of reaction on twitter "Why did you have this kind of ramen when you're in Hakata!" or "You should've have a rich kind of ramen first." So this time I want to eat that rich type of ramen for sure.(lol)

ab： Actually our website has a section called the "Fukuoka Ramen Map" that introduces many ramen restaurants. Please take a look, if you get the chance (lol)!

Terashima：Yeah, I was actually curious about that (looking at our asianbeat flyer)

ab： Yuma, weren’t you in Fukuoka last week?

Uchida： Yeah, I was here for a different event! I had Motsu-nabe but I didn’t have ramen, so this time I want to eat ramen before leaving! (lol)

ab： It seems like you have very busy schedules, got any tips on how to stay relaxed and refreshed?

Terashima： Something recently I’ve been enjoying a lot I go to those super spas, going into saunas sweat a lot, get a massage and such.

Uchida： That sounds nice! For me, it’s to eat a lot and sleep a lot. Just those two things! If I eat a lot and I sleep a lot I get fully recharged!

ab：You mentioned before that when you are recording refrain from drinking and take care of your throat. As voice artists, do you have any specific routines?

Terashima： Sometimes in anime and video games includes lines from other works as homage. Without knowing the original source, you get a lot of people telling you, you should watch that it’s good. I think it’s good for voice actors to know which shows are good. Recently I’ve been on a radio program and I’ve noticed that I need to be up to date with what the current fade is now or I can’t keep up with the conversation. So I got to keep my social antenna up.

Uchida： I might have the same thing too, speaking with a lot of people. Most of the time I’m not the type to talk to a lot of people, even at home I enjoy playing video games and the piano by myself. However in this line of work, there is a ton of information that cannot be obtained by yourself and a lot of places that don’t offer that information.


Whether it’s from not knowing what you need to do now, how other veterans overcame these challenges, new comers who are also struggling with the same issues, we need to give and share information with each other then I want to add more resources. In this line of work is not to be done by yourself, it’s the type that you need to be connected with others and that is something I’ve kept in my mind.

ab： Seeing the sparkle in the “Prism show,” Shin Ichijo got his “heart captured”, any recent events that had that had happened to you two?


Terashima： A little late to get into but I’ve really gotten into the anime “LoveLive!” (lol) The sound director of this film Yukio Nagasaki was also the sound director of “LoveLive!” Takahiko Kyogoku the Prism show producer was the director for the “LoveLive!” anime. I thought since is they both worked on that I should watch it...then I got super into it! Recently I’ve been listening nothing but “LoveLive!” even at home too. That has “captured my heart.”

ab： About how long has it “Captured your heart”?

Terashima： Right now like a month and a half, I’ve just started. (lol)

Uchida： Recently, I did a live performance for a different show and I was the only newcomer while everyone else was veterans in the industry, I was pretty nervous while working with them. To me these people were the very professional and in my mind I’ve had a vague this image of these people, like “oh, they’re this kind of person”. What blew me away was, they surpassed my image of them and I felt that they kept growing and moving forward. That moment really moved me and stood out. After the live performance was over, I felt the aspiration to do more acting and to work even harder than before.

Terashima： I think this film "KING OF PRISM -PRIDE the HERO-" is pretty revolutionary even within Japanese animation culture, I'd like you to see the latest in Japanimation. At the same time, it's not just about the dialogue, one of the main features of this film is the visual aspect. If you're watching this film overseas, I guess there will be subtitles, but by just concentrating on the imagery, you can really get into it.

Uchida： I think this movie, "Kinpri" will make people happy and putting a smile on their face. From my experience with the previous release, I feel that it will transcend borders. So, I'm pretty confident that the new "KING OF PRISM -PRIDE the HERO-", will bring a smile to your face, and maybe even a tear to your eye. This kind of feeling is borderless. I will be so happy if people can get to a cinema nearby to see the film.
