Q: Doukyuusei is one of the best selling bishoujo anime.
What parts were you careful of when you did the voices?
Takada: I'm surprised that it is the best selling one.
I'm very happy. I'm surprised to see so many press people at the event.
Since this was a game, I want the game fans to enjoy the anime too.
Satomi had her turn in volume 1 and volume 2,
then it was the other girls' turns.
I think it is a fun anime.
Oikawa: Volume 3 was the hardest one.
There wasn't that many lines in the other volumes.
There wasn't anything that was very difficult.
I thought about how to portray the character,
but I just did a bright, pure girl.
Takahashi: Mai-chan is an ojousama of a good family
with strict parents.
So the point is how she breaks out of it.
I didn't want to betray the fans of Mai-chan.
I began to like Mai-chan, and I did her role in the way I would
have acted if I was Mai-chan. So it was very natural for me.
Kanai: Urara is a first year student in high school,
so I wanted to do a pure, honest girl.
Since her name is Urara, and there is Takano Urara in my office,
it was hard to do at first.
But the picture was very cute, so I was able to do it.
Q: If there was a guy like Wataru in your high school days,
would you have become his girl friend?
Takada: If Wataru doesn't talk much, it would be ok.
Kanai: Is he supposed to be cool?
Takada: Um.. he's very nice. He's nice to all girls, and he's fun.
Oikawa: So it might be ok if he was one of my boy friends.
I don't want to get too deeply involved
Takada: Yes, he'll go on to another girl right away.
Takahashi: I wonder if the girls all know about his relationship
with the other girls.
Takada: I don't think so.
Q: What are your feelings when you do the ecchi scenes?
Takada: The pictures are very beautiful. So I don't want to do a voice
that would break the image.
Some people ask me if I use that kind of voice normally.
The voice is one that comes from the pictures.
Oikawa: When I did it, there was hardly any pictures.
So it was a little hard to match the voice.
Also it wasn't normal ecchi. It was one using ropes.
So yelling, "Stop it!" a lot was difficult.
Takahashi: In Mai-chan's case she had her strict father in her mind,
and she did it by breaking away from him.
Although it was her first time, I tried to bring out the feeling
that she wanted to do it.
Kanai: Since Kakyuusei is a younger sister anime of Doukyuusei,
it's not as adult. There was a little touch of comedy, so I just followed
the script and did it without trying to sound too raw.
Q: Other comments.
Takada: This is the final one, but since there are more girls in
the Doukyuusei world, I hope there are some more, with the fan's help.
Oikawa: I heard there is a Doukyuusei 2 and the contents will depend
on what the fans want. So please say that you want the former members.
Takahashi: There are many anime like Doukyuusei, which is a little ecchi.
But I would like people to keep the heart important and not just
the ecchi parts.
Kanai: For those under 15, please watch it when you turn 15.
It's a fun anime, and not just ecchi.
Q: Have you ever played this game?
Takada: No.
Oikawa: No.
Takahashi: Not the PC game, but there was an arcade mahjong game.
I did a voice in that.
Kanai: Me too.
