Iczelion Charging Event
The Tokyo event for the new OAV series Iczelion was held on 1994.11.19. (The event in Osaka was held a couple weeks earlier.) For the Tokyo event, the hall could only hold 490 people, but there were over 1000 people who had sent in postcards. So only half of the people who wanted to go were able to. The event flowed as follows.
IntroductionShocker Ohno was the emcee for this event. (He usually does the emcee for KSS events.) He introduced all of the guests, and they all appeared on the stage. Since Nishimura Chinami had not been announced as a guest for this event (but she had appeared at the Osaka event) everyone was very happy to see her. After a short message, they went right into the OAV showing.
OAV Iczelion 1Talk showAfter the OAV, Shocker Ohno came out onto the stage. Then one by one the voice actresses and director came onto the stage.Kai Nagisa/Iczelion (Shiratori Yuri) came out, and Shocker Ohno said that she had a hang over. But Yuri quickly explained. She said that she can't drink much. But the previous day, she drank some wine and got sick. Kawai Kawai/Silver Iczelion (Amano Yuri) came out and said that it was probably her fault that Shiratori Yuri drank the wine. She had told Yuri that wine tasted good. Shiina Nami/Black Iczelion (Touma Yumi) came out. Iijima Kiiro/Gold Iczelion (Nishimura Chinami) came out. Chinami said that it felt good to do this role where she played an idol with a Kansai accent. Hirano Toshihiro (the director of Iczelion and the Iczer series) came out. All of the guests sat down and they began their talk session. Shocker Ohno asked the director some questions about the Iczer series. Hirano said that Iczer started in 1985, so it will be 10 years next year. Shiratori Yuri and Amano Yuri had been around since Iczer 3. They had the same name Nagisa and Kawai. Hirano said that he wanted to keep the same voices because the characters look the same and the name is the same.
Ohno: Are these names that you like? Where they girls you knew in the past?
Shiratori Yuri was surprised, but she did it anyway. She said, "Hikaru!" with Lin Minmei's voice. Of course this lead to an event full of various voices done by the guest voice actresses! (^_^) Then someone from the audience yelled out, "Please do Kikuchi Momoko!" [Shiratori Yuri held a solo live event at Waseda university on November 3, and at that event she said that she had done lots of mimicry when she was younger, including Kikuchi Momoko. Kikuchi Momoko is a Japanese idol singer. Yes, I was at that event too, and sat in the second row. (^_^;;)] So Shiratori Yuri said, "Say yes," with Kikuchi Momoko's voice. Then Shocker Ohno commented that Yuri can be a stage performer. Shiratori Yuri then said, "I was actually thinking of making a group 'Yuris' with Amano Yuri." The emcee moved on to Touma Yumi and commented that Black Iczelion was a tough character. Touma Yumi said, "It's always that way.."
Then the emcee called out, "Yuri-chan," and both Shiratori Yuri and
Amano Yuri answered.
So the emcee said, "Buurin," and the crowd cheered!
[Shiratori Yuri does the voice of the pink flying pig super hero Buurin,
in the TV series Tonde Buurin.]
Shocker Ohno asked Shiratori Yuri if it was difficult doing the
voice of Kai Nagisa.
Shocker Ohno asked Nishimura Chinami,
"This character has a Kansai accent. Are you from Kansai?"
Then the emcee said, "During the OAV, some of you may have noticed,
but when Black Iczelion talked, she looked very calm. But her voice
was very excited. The reason is because the OAV that you saw today
was the version before the retake."
Shocker Ohno said, "This anime is full of girls. During the recording it was all females except for Horikawa Ryo. So for some scenes they grabbed the guys who were around in the studio to do some voices. In the Kiiro concert scene, when the fans are yelling and screaming, that "Seino!" is me."
Then they moved onto the question and answer session.
The first question was for Hirano.
Question: About Rayearth, with the way that the story is going now,
it seems like it can only last two kuurus (1 kuuru = 13 episodes).
Question: Kawai Kawai didn't have much dialogue, and there wasn't a
transformation scene. Will she have more in episode 2?
Question: The voice actresses for this and previous Iczer anime has
been Shiratori Yuri, Amano Yuri, Shou Mayumi, Touma Yumi.
Was this intentional?
Question for the voice actresses: How do you feel about the transformation
scenes? Are there other roles in this anime that you would like to do?
Then the fans and Shocker Ohno cut in and they made her say a line as Kiiro. Yuri said with a Kansai accent, "3 tai 1 ja kachime ha naide."
Touma: About the transformation scene, I think it is fan service.
As the guests were leaving, Shocker Ohno called Nishimura Chinami back. Since she had to leave for work (voice recording for Choukuseni Narisou) he asked her for her good bye message. Nishimura Chinami said, "Iczelion is a high quality animation as you have seen, so please watch it. Also please watch Choukuseni Narisou."
KSS Promotion videoThe promotion video lasted for several minutes and it showed highlights from the many anime that KSS had done in the past.
Drawing for prizesAfter the promotion video, they held a drawing for the prizes. There were many prizes, ranging from CDs to signature boards to signed posters, etc. The prizes were not necessarily related to Iczelion. Shiratori Yuri, Amano Yuri, Touma Yumi, and Hirano Toshihiro drew numbers out of a box for the prizes.
Good bye messageAfter the numbers for the prizes were drawn, each guest gave their good bye message and the event ended.
