Azusa Tadokoro(田所あずさ), the voice actress for Mogami Shizuka(最上靜香)in the iDOLM@STER mobile game and Sakura Yume(佐倉由女)in Bakuon!!, visited C3 in Hong Kong to perform four songs earlier. Beside proclaiming her love for Crayon Shin-chan(クレヨンしんちゃん)loud and clear on stage, she also expressed her love for Kojuro Shuri(しゅり こじゅうろう)from Masamune-kun’s Revenge(政宗くんのリベンジ).
Q: Beside the character you voice in Masamune-kun’s Revenge, which one is your favourite?
A: My favourtie is Kojuro. I like his interaction with cats. It’s full of love.
Q: Since you go to the gym regularly, how do you feel about Masamune-kun working out usually?
A: I know he is hard-working, so I kind of feel like I can’t lose.
Q: You participated in the IDOLM@STER stage event as well as your solo event today, how do you feel about switching between two?
A: I feel more stressed in my solo event than in the IDOLM@STER event. I did not worry much when I performed as someone else, like Mogami Shizuka(最上靜香). Plus I have my partners with me on stage, so it made me feel better. The solo show, on the other hand, is my first one in Hong Kong. I wanted it to be perfect, but at the same time the audience might not know me so well. I was quite uneasy.
Q: Is there any difference between performing in Japan and performing overseas?
A: I think the major difference is not being able to express myself well due to language barrier when performing overseas. Then I see how the audience react and show their support, I am able to perform at ease.
Q: You wrote and composed the song "アンソリティア" entirely by yourself. Are you planning on making music again?
A: Haha! When I created this song, it was very difficult, especially the writing part. I think I will rest for a bit. So no, I won’t be doing this for a while.
Q: Which one of your songs is your favourite?
A: I can’ say it is my favourite, but "純真Always" is the one that makes me feel emotional the most. This song has made me known to a lot of people. This is a bliss.
Q: You are here for work today. Will you be travelling to Hong Kong for leisure?
A: I really want to visit Hong Kong again. I need to learn how to buy flight ticket…haha. I am looking forward to it. Hong Kong has such a nice view.
Q: You and another artist GACKT.C sing the opening and ending respectively for anime series Trickster. How do you feel about it?
A: When I first found out that I was able to sing for the anime with a senior artist, I was surprised and I even asked myself if I was dreaming. Then I immediately called my family to announce this great news.
Q: How do you feel about hearing your own song “純真Always” play in an anime series usually?
A: Haha…I feel a bit complicted, but still, it’s happy to hear it.
Q: What’s your plan for this year?
A: There are many challenges ahead. Sukasuka(終末なにしてますか? 忙しいですか? 救ってもらっていいですか??), in which I voice the protagonist Kutori Nota Seniolis(クトリ・ノタ・セニオリス), will premiere in April. I also sing the theme song for it. I hope these jobs will help me advance. I will also remember today well, and see if I have grown up later this year.
