Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubasa shibahime mayumi shintani
When I first auditioned...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubasa shibahime mayumi shintani And when I read the comics...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubasa shibahime mayumi shintani I just thought about it way too much...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubasa shibahime mayumi shintani
...and I decided that I'd play it realistically.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? ...and I decided that I'd play it realistically.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? But when I went to the studio,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? They didn't think that the raw vividness of it would fit an anime,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
So I was crushed.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
And I had to come up with a voice on the spot,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? So my first time turned out really awkward.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
But after that, I kind of got how she should be like...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I sort of did it reasonably and got to do it how I wanted.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I was given quite a bit of freedom.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
That's all!
Q. How did you approach playing your character? When I was first shown the character, a picture of Tsubaki Sakura,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubaki sakura sAEKO ChiBa When I was first shown the character, a picture of Tsubaki Sakura,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubaki sakura sAEKO ChiBa
I'd never played a sports girl character like her,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Tsubaki sakura sAEKO ChiBa so I was really lost as to how I should play her.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? So I was really lost as to how I should play her.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
But just like Miss Shintani just said,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? My first episode... well, not the first episode, it was Episode 9.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I first appeared in Episode 9. In Episode 9 and...
Oh, yeah, I started out in Episode 9, too.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah, I started out in Episode 9, too.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Yeah, that's right. I mistakenly felt like the one I showed up in was the first one.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I mistakenly felt like the one I showed up in was the first one.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
So, my voice is pretty different between Episode 9 and 10.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? In Episode 9, my voice is rather on the high side,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? But starting in Episode 10, I made my voice lower.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
And in the beginning,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? It was my first time matching my voice to the animation,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? So I was also rather nervous...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
But what episode would that be?
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Somewhere in the teens,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I sort of opened up... sort of grew a bit.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
It wasn't quite easygoing, but I enjoyed doing it.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
And perhaps it's my fault,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
But Tsubaki turned out a lot like a middle-aged guy kind of girl,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? So sorry about that.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
I'll apologize for that now.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
That's all.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
Rika is girlish, very good at needlework...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Rika Sena YUKARI FUKUI Rika is girlish, very good at needlework...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Rika Sena YUKARI FUKUI
And let's see... very trusting.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? Rika Sena YUKARI FUKUI
But she's very easygoing. That's what her role was like.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? But she's very easygoing. That's what her role was like.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
Well, in the beginning,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I was going to play her without thinking too much about it,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
But when I actually got on site,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? That sort of tense atmosphere...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
It just totally got to me,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
So in the beginning...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? When I was first matching my voice to the animation,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
I wasn't able to go with my own feelings...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
... and by the time I realized, my lines were... like, already over.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? They all ended up like that...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
Well, yes, right...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
I'm sorry. I'm nervous.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
Yes, but, um...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
I felt like my voice became really high halfway through...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? ... and turned out like Mickey...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
Yes, but it ended up really fun, so I'm very glad.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
Thank you very much.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
It's over already.
Q. How did you approach playing your character? What?
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
It's not over yet, right?
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
How I thought of playing Aya Sawada was...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? AYa Sawada YUKIKO MOTOYA How I thought of playing Aya Sawada was...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? AYa Sawada YUKIKO MOTOYA I figured if I played her brusue and unsociable,
Q. How did you approach playing your character? AYa Sawada YUKIKO MOTOYA I'd be able to manage somehow, but...
Q. How did you approach playing your character? I'd be able to manage somehow, but...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
I mistook a straight reading for brusue and unsociable,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
And when I'd watch it over again, it was really...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
I'd get a little depressed with disgust at myself every time.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
So, that's why, the key is...
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
The difference between low and high tension is really extreme,
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
So everyone try it at home paying attention to that.
Q. How did you approach playing your character?
That's all.
About the other characters...
Q. About other His and Hers characters. About the other characters...
Q. About other His and Hers characters. But the four of us are the ones that unmistakably ended up...

Right, right, right, but isn't Rika sort of okay?
Q. About other His and Hers characters. Right, right, right, but isn't Rika sort of okay?

Q. About other His and Hers characters.
That was... talk about awkward.
Q. About other His and Hers characters.
Me, too. Sort of towards the beginning, Tsubasa was...
Q. About other His and Hers characters.
In the beginning, I thought Yukari was going to do Tsubasa.
Q. About other His and Hers characters. What?!
Q. About other His and Hers characters. Yup, and then Miss Shintani got Tsubasa, so...
Q. About other His and Hers characters. When I was told, "She's the one playing Tsubasa,"
Q. About other His and Hers characters. I thought, "Hmm."
Is that a comment on my face?
Q. About other His and Hers characters. Is that a comment on my face?
Q. About other His and Hers characters. No! No! That's not it!

Characters that caught your attention...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Characters that caught your attention...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
You gotta get closer.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I wonder about this lack of tension here...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
The rather low tension?
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
But you know, Motoya is a character that gets your attention.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Why?
I thought so, too.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I thought so, too.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Huh? What?

Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Oh, but you know, I really thought everyone was amazing.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
To be totally honest.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Um, during recording, she sat next to me a lot and...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
What are you about to say?
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Oh, it's nothing big.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
But she'd say things like, "Maybe I shouldn't be here."
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
That's all she says and it was just hilarious!
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
And during breaks... During breaks and things...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
She was always eating some snacks.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
That's right, you'd be eating snacks looking real uncomfortable.
That was sort of...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? That was sort of...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I didn't really understand that. That was sort of...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I didn't really understand that.
I gained weight from that.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I gained weight from that.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I didn't want to eat, but it was kind of lonely,
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? So I tended to overeat...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? You didn't have anyone to talk to, so I tended to overeat...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? You didn't have anyone to talk to,
Right.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? So you end up eating snacks. Right.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? So you end up eating snacks.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
I was trying hard, hoping someone would ask what I was eating.
Even though you don't want to.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I was trying hard, hoping someone would ask what I was eating.
Oh, I see.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Oh, I see.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? You wanted someone to talk to you... Oh, I see.

Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Yeah, sort of. I probably wanted some attention.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I felt like I shouldn't bother you.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? No! I felt like I shouldn't bother you.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? No!
I thought maybe you honestly liked to eat snacks.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I thought maybe you honestly liked to eat snacks.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? It wouldn't be nice to bother her when she's eating.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? No, I wanted to grow a conversation from the snacks.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I see, so you were making an effort in your own way.
Right, but it failed spectacularly.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Right, but it failed spectacularly.

Everyone was watching from afar, now that I think about it.

Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
Well, what episode was that?
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? When Aya's talking about writing some manuscript,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
There's a part where she tells Rika one of her ideas.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? And I was asked to ad-lib that part,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? So I ad-libbed that part, but...
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
That line has been sped up,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? So you probably can't tell what I said,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? But that's my favorite part.

Q. Do you have a favorite scene?

Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Towards the beginning, I was wondering for the longest time...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? ... whether Miss Fukui's was a calculated or a natural act.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
I thought about it for so long, and it turned out to be natural.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Yeah, it's natural.
That's the conclusion.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? That's the conclusion.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I thought maybe it was a really cleverly calculated...
I'm not that smart, so...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? I thought maybe it was a really cleverly calculated...
Maybe there's some trap.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Maybe there's some trap.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Right, right, right! Maybe there's some trap.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Maybe there's some trap.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Maybe I'm being deceived!
There's a type like that in the entertainment industry...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? There's a type like that in the entertainment industry...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Yeah, so in the beginning, I was suspicious of you two.

Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Oh...
It turned out like a middle-aged guy.

I wondered a little if it was okay.
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Won't it have a negative effect?
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Yeah, it's a middle-aged guy.
Oh, really?

Yeah, no kidding. But you know, for me, that was...
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?

I even asked Mr. Anno during the closing night party.
"Was that okie... okay?"
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play? Okie?
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Then did he say, "Yes, it was okie-dokie?"
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Mr. Anno?
Q. Any characters that caught your attention or you wanted to play?
Okay, as for my favorite scene,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
I thought the part where Aya's head spins was funny.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? What was that?
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
There was, wasn't there?
Yeah, there was somewhere.
That part where it goes like this and she goes, "Aaah!"
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? That kind of thing makes you laugh?
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
But that was funny.
Maybe it's because I know the normal Motoya, but...
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? I don't spin my head.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
That's not what I meant.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?

Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
That drama between her and Kazuma.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
And she says, "Let's be happy?"
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? "Let's try being happy."
Oh, yeah! That! That was really great.
That was like a perfect ten to me. Yes.
The other one is one of my own lines,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
Which I tried to popularize, but never became popular.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene?
"I guess we'll go play around," never did become popular.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? It ended right before the break.
Right, it ended right before the break,
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? Ooh, too bad.
Just when things were about to build up...
just when things were about to build up...
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? If it was just a bit longer, it would've become popular.
Q. Do you have a favorite scene? It would've been popular.
So, please, popularize it.
"Wheat germ bread stuffed with..." What was it?
"Roast beef!"
Yeah, along with that.
Yes, please.

Q. A word to the fans.
DVD, His and Her Circumstances, Opus 4.
Thank you very much for purchasing it.
Well, the last, what do you call it?
Q. A word to the fans.
The interview consisted of our awkward conversation
and I am very sorry for that.
Q. A word to the fans.
And anyway, after this, Tsubaki Sakura, whom I played...
Q. A word to the fans.
Not in the episodes recorded on this volume, but a bit later...
There will be some things going on between her and Takefumi Tonami...
Q. A word to the fans.
...towards the end, so if...
If you feel that you would like to see the continuation,
Q. A word to the fans.
Please, please, do watch it.
Um, the images are very clean on DVDs, so they're great,
Q. A word to the fans.
But there are also videos out, so that would be cool, too.
But the DVD has live recordings, like this interview,
Q. A word to the fans.
So I think it might be a better value.
Q. A word to the fans.
After this, Opus... this one is Opus 4,
Q. A word to the fans.

Hopefully, they'll be things that will make you want to buy...
...and if they do, I'm sure I'll probably buy them, too. Yes.
Q. A word to the fans.
And also, in this show...
I've played Tsubaki Sakura as a kind of middle-aged guy kind of girl,
but at the end, um...
Q. A word to the fans.
There will be some bits of romance between her and Tonami,
and she shows a little of her feminine emotions,
Q. A word to the fans.
So those parts will be worth watching.
Well, I tried a little self-advertisement there.
Q. A word to the fans.
Um, in the future, nothing is set yet for me,
Q. A word to the fans.
But I'll probably be doing voice work and stage work...
All sorts of things... Also, I'm sure I'll be doing live concerts,

Q. A word to the fans.
This was Saeko Chiba. See you again.
Q. A word to the fans.

Um, well, in the end, Tsubasa was...
Q. A word to the fans.
I think there were probably some people who felt...
Q. A word to the fans.
...that she didn't turn out the way you thought she should be,
Q. A word to the fans.
But I did the best job I knew how,
Q. A word to the fans.
So please forgive me.

Q. A word to the fans.
Everyone, thank you for sticking with us and watching to the end.
Q. A word to the fans.
Um, the Rika Sena that I played was very ladylike and cute,
even though she was a bit naturally comical.
That's what she's like, but the real thing...
I mean, the person who played her is like this, so I'm very sorry.
Q. A word to the fans.
What are you saying?
Q. A word to the fans.
Even though it was pretty accurate.
Q. A word to the fans.
Yes, um... uh, how far did I get?
Q. A word to the fans.
You got to, "I'm sorry for being like this."
That's right, I'm sorry for being like this.
Q. A word to the fans.
Um, I'm this flaky person, but I'll be continuing work,
Q. A word to the fans.

Q. A word to the fans.
But if you enjoyed it, then I think that's good enough.
Q. A word to the fans.
And around February,
Q. A word to the fans.
I'm wishing that I also had a photo collection coming out,
Q. A word to the fans. But I think I'll probably be doing part time work...

Q. A word to the fans.
Bye.
