Name: ブレイブルー公式WEBラジオ 「ぶるらじW」
Hosts: Sugita Tomokazu, Kondou Kanako, Imai Asami
Date: 2011.12.01
No guest for this episode but Imai’s back to host the radio! Imai watched the previous episode of BluRaji where she was absent and laughed that she saw one of the tags on the video was “Inai Asami” instead of “Imai” with “inai” meaning “absent” haha. By the way, Toshimichi Mori, the producer for BlazBlue, is also present there in the recording room though he didn’t talk much unless asked a question or to chip in some further information about BlazBlue.
– Imai laughs that Sugita’s smirking expression when he grabbed her hand at the previous BluRaji event was burned into her mind ahaha.
Sugita: I was silent throughout the whole hand grabbing thing. I was probably enjoying myself.
Imai: …Really… When I glanced at you during this you had this really happy looking creepy smirk on your face! I’ve had that image burned in my mind and I can’t forget it! I was seeing it in my dreams for the next few days!
Sugita: In your dreams?! That’s one nightmare!
Imai: It was like a nightmare! *laughs*
– Imai mentions that she’s been getting a lot of mail from fans saying that her character, Tsubaki, has become much weaker with the latest version of BlazBlue and she asks Toshimichi Mori if that’s true lol. He denies it but… The comments say otherwise ahaha.
– Sugita says that he was speaking with an animator the other day and he was told “To be an animator you have to love drawing?! No way! You have to draw LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT” lol. Animators… Sounds painful OTL
– One of the corners have the three of them acting out a situation where their character embarrassedly gives out their email address to a person they like. On top of that they have to adlib their dialogue in character haha. First was Kanako’s turn as Noel.
Kanako(Noel): “Umm… I like you a lot… Umm this is my email address! Would you swap addresses with me?? Thubak_noel_makoto@bluradi.ne.jp”
Sugita: Oh you added her friends’ names into her email address.
Kanako: Yeah you know how you add people’s names that you like as your email address!
Imai: Umm hold on for a moment…
Kanako: Hmm?
Imai: “thubak“…?
Kanako: AHH!! AAH!
Imai: You’re forgetting the “i”!! AND YOUR TSUBAKI’S “TSU” HAS AN “H” INSTEAD! *laughs*
Sugita: *laughs* That’s two mistakes!
Kanako: I’ll fix it!
Imai: Thubaki?! Thubaku?! *laughs*
Sugita: Tubakuu!
– Next is Imai as Tsubaki.
Imai(Tsubaki): “Eh? Ji-Jin-sama, you’d like my email address? …Umm… I don’t have a cellphone. Nope, not at all. AH! Jin-sama! *he grabs her cellphone* Umm… Well… My email address is… Love-love-heart.jinjinjin@bluradi.ne.jp. Sorry…”
– And finally Sugita’s turn as Ragna.
Sugita(Ragna): “Email address? JUST HAND OVER YOUR MESSAGE IN PERSON …Is what I’d like to say but since I don’t own a cell phone I grabbed one from over there. It’s address is “Rinko-peropero@bluradi.ne.jp””
*The other two snicker in laughter*
By the way, the cell phone Sugita’s talking about is SP Tanaka’s, his radio assistant in his solo radio Anigera Dedooon lol. SP Tanaka is a known fan of Rinko from Love Plus and is a pretty creepy person in general haha. Imai thinks Sugita’s talking about himself at first but Sugita corrects her saying that his [Love Plus]girlfriend is Manaka not Rinko and she apologises ahaha.
– Sugita makes fun of Imai’s laugh saying that she laughs like an old woman lol.
There wasn’t any announcement of a next episode so it looks like we’re back to waiting in limbo for another episode :( [EDIT: That’s what I get for writing this at 2 AM OTL, the next episode was actually announced to be on the same day as the release of Continuum Shift Extend on December the 17th \o/ Hooray!]
Didn’t they mention about that the next episode would be released on December 17th? Because it’s supposed to coincide the day that Continuum Shift Extend is released.
Whoooooooooops did they? *Relistens* Yup you’re right lol I’ll just fix that. Thanks for pointing that out. m(_ _)m
No problem, keep up the good work! It’s all thanks to you that I’ve begun listening to all these radio shows. :D
So much stuff happening on the 17th wtf. @__@
“To be an animator you have to love drawing?! No way! You have to draw LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT” lol. Animators… Sounds painful OTL
ambi don’t make me depressed about my future career choice LOL
PS ― DO YOU STILL LIVE AT THE SAME PLACE.
I do :D Christmas card again?? :D :D
I got nothing to give in return though D: I’d love to draw something for you like last year but I’m in a hate-drawing streak right now OTL
And good luck on becoming an animator lol, either way the western side of the animating business is probably (don’t quote me for this lawl) better than the asian side lol.
I’ve noticed this much more lately, but how often do radio hosts show their actual displeasure on air? I know Imai and Sugita are on a pretty okay relationship, but when they pretend to be angry or present a situation as horrible, sometimes it’s kind of hard to tell, especially when I am listening to hosts I don’t know.
Hm..that might have sounded confusing. Let me rearrange the question. Most seiyuu get along, right? Do you remember any particular incidents that erupted?
I’ve seen on rare occasions when the hosts get noticeably impatient with the other but regardless of those moments their relationship on the whole is usually on good terms or at the very least neutral. On top of that I’m pretty sure the seiyuu have the option to refuse the offer to host a radio show when they see details such as the anime or the combination of personalities.
Most of the time this is done due to scheduling conflicts or if the seiyuu doesn’t intend to take on anymore radio work such as when Hanazawa Kana refused the offer to host the Steins;Gate TV series radio but I guess it’d be easy to reject the offer if they don’t get along well with the other personality as well.
Either way even if they don’t get along well they do well to hide it so you can’t really tell.
Think of yourself for example, I’m pretty sure there are very few people you’d actually be noticeably displeased with when you’re talking with one another so on top of being rare these situations are normally avoided so that this type of stuff would rarely happen on radio or other forms of broadcast.
I see, and true. I was just curious, considering how on one hand some voice actors can amass harems so easily cough-ito-cough, the opposite (being confrontations) might be interesting to look at. Then again, it’s not like the hosts or the management will allow such things anyways, right?
On a somewhat unrelated note, Sugita makes a lot of sekuhara-jokes to female seiyuus, doesn’t he? Like on Tokyo Encount…it’s pretty funny, actually, just because most of the time the guys are so polite or reserved. Not that I’m saying it’s good to have it so much (like Koyama Tsuyoshi), but it’s kind of refreshing…haha.
Lol well he doesn’t really sexually harass the girls too much though he just says dirty jokes on occasion and he never really takes it too far.
Yes, he knows when to stop, at least :P
I don’t know the context of that image, but I’m chuckling anyway…
Lol it was shown at the part when Imai was talking about Sugita’s creepy expression while he was grabbing her hand :D
