Ambi'seiyuulog

Hosts: Taketatsu Ayana, Hanazawa Kana
Guests: Satomi Satou, Hayami Saori, Nabatame Hitomi
Date: 2010.10.08

This was a recording of a live audience event, you can hear the [all male crowd] going crazy at the background lol. I remember hoping for Nakamura Yuuichi to guest but he didn’t :(. Oh well.

– Nabatame wore makeup to the event, since she felt left out as being the eldest(by far lol) out of the girls but when Kana saw her the first thing she said was “Wow, Nabatame’s wearing makeup~~~!” teasingly lol Kana’s so mean sometimes~

– Hayami talking about Ayase.
Hayami: “Ayase’s a pretty girl who’s nice and kind and friendly and all… At first… Then she’s…”
Ayana + Kana: “Spoilers! Spoilers!!”
Hayami: “Ah well, she becomes a bit ‘cheeky’… Let’s just say she loves Kirino a lot!”

– Apparently ClariS (the singer of the OP) is currently in middle school, they speak a bit about it and the 4 of them were really surprised. Well I’m surprised too lol
Kana: “Ehh… Her voice is so mature, feels like we’re losing to a middle school student in that regard”

– One of the corners have the seiyuu fill out a “Ore no ___ ga konna ni ____ wake ga nai!” phrase, Taketatsu wanted to put something talking about how cute Kirino was but didn’t in the end, but Kana said it was alright, she wrote something like that for hers. What she wrote:
“My Taketatsu Ayana can’t be this attached to me!”, she explained that the other day she was with Ayana the whole day, from 9 AM to 9 PM or so, with OreImo related work, and they were holding hands and other lovely things lol. My guess is that she’s referring to one of those photoshoots she’s done with Ayana?
Kana: “Ayachi’s hand is so small~ <3”
Kana also fawns over the way Ayana does those angry sighs for Kirino infront of the microphone to Ayana’s embarrassment lol <3.

– Satou says she tried to put a “grandmother” feel in the way she voiced Manami, since Kyousuke kept saying she was like a grandmother in the original novels.

Ahh Kana and Ayana are so raburabu now~ <3

The recordings for the anime have started. Also it appears that there’s an OreImo event happening tomorrow. The two of them have no idea what’s gonna occur in the event lol.

– A female listener sends in a mail saying she loves the women in anime, the bishoujo anime, the female seiyuu and female idols. Ayana agrees saying she’s the same, reaffirming that she likes female seiyuu, male-oriented galge, female characters etc.

– The two of them love watching random AKB stuff it seems. “Because they’re cute”

– Ayana says she likes tsunderes in anime but in real life they’re a pain to deal with (lol), Kana agrees with her.

When Kana says she’s often told she’s a “Silent S” Ayana says “Oh, then I’ll be the M for the radio~”

– When talking about nice elder brothers they both start saying “Ah.. I want an elder brother…” Ayana then realises she’s already got one lol. Probably not the kind of ideal relationship she’s wanting I guess hah.

– Mario Eats the Mushrooms he picks up
Kana: “Ehh maybe he doesn’t eat them. Maybe he puts them in his pants or something”
Ayana: “Wouldn’t they get in the way, he might have trouble adventuring with them in there…”
Lol what are they on about? OTL

– Did you have fun on this episode?
Ayana: “I had fun~”
Kana: “I had fun watching Ayana laugh~ <3”

They spoke about a lot of random things I didn’t feel like writing down (such as global warming, cute little sisters, tunas never stop swimming- even when sleeping, etc.). The short notes doesn’t mean it was a boring episode!

The opening script has Kuroneko/Kana teasing Ayana/Kirino about her pervertedness <3

– It’s been a while since the last episode while the anime recording still hasn’t started yet resulting in the two of them not having any chance to meet up in a while and they note that they’re both acting distant again. Kana accused Ayana of speaking really politely to her when they met earlier in the morning :O

– The two of them start talking about how otaku they were during middle school, mentioning anime that were popular at the time such as Prince of Tennis, Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, etc.

– Ayana was in the Broadcasting club and she broadcasted anime songs at school lol.

– The two of them talk about how trying to draw anime with shiny eyes when they were young is normal for an anime fan. I totally know what they mean lol, a lot of anime fans I know have at least tried to scribble an anime face in their spare time <3. The scribbles on the image are what the two of them drew during the radio show by the way, left is Kirino by Ayana, right is Kuroneko by Kana(to Ayana’s amusement lol).

– Ayana notes offhandedly that she had galge lying around at home when she was in elementary school lol. That’s a pretty big thing to say lol.

– A female listener sends in a mail saying she enjoys male oriented anime and attends their events but has trouble with height and stuff in those events. The two sympathizes with her and note that there has been quite a lot of female attendants at those kind of events recently though. They also talk about adding a female seating area lol.

– Ayana says she prefers male oriented themes as well, mentioning “moemoe” specifically. She says she didn’t attend many events though cause she was scared to go.

– Kana recalls looking for an Azumanga Daioh character song in Animate TV in high school, Ayana in turn talks about a time when she bought Horie Yui’s CD in middle school <3 Turns out she was a huge fan of Hocchan during her school days, though she hasn’t said anything to her about it yet. I love it when the seiyuu are seiyuu fans themself <3

– Ayana also mentions liking and buying Tamura Yukari’s CD and says that she really loved female seiyuu.

– Kana says that she wasn’t really that interested in seiyuu, except for loving Romi Paku as Ed in FMA.

– A listener from Germany sends in a mail to the “Internet Lingo” corner asking if they know the meaning of “lol”. Interestingly enough(?) they didn’t know what it was. Also the staff gave the answer as “Laughing out Loudly” …I guess it’s technically not quite incorrect in terms of grammar =/

– Ayana’s english is terrible lol.

– They mention that they haven’t traded mail addresses and plan to do exchange them later :D

There was a lot of otaku talk in this episode, Ayana, as expected, is pretty steeped in the otaku fandom, she mentioned that watched Gundam Seed this episode. What was surprising was that Hanazawa Kana was a bit of an otaku during school as well :O I’ll probably continue to follow this radio as it comes out, it currently airs fortnightly and is on it’s 7th episode. Not a whole bunch of episodes to catch up on really.

“My Little Sister (Even on Radio) Can’t be this Cute” Radio hosted by Taketatsu Ayana (Kousaka Kirino) and Hanazawa Kana (Kuroneko). The radio started before the anime recording had started but the cast had met up before in the recordings for the OreImo drama CDs. There was quite a bit of hype about this radio before it started but I never got around to listening to it till now.

– The two of them haven’t had much chance to talk before this point, as well as this being their first radio show they’ve worked on together. The radio starts off kinda introduction-y and awkwardly wonderful :D

– Kana decides to call Ayana “Ayachi” and Ayana calls her “Kana-chan”.

– Kana’s first impression when she saw Ayana was “What’s with this loli looking kid??” She thought Ayana could pass as a high school kid lol. She also comments that the clothing Ayana was wearing today was really cute.

– Ayana says she dresses differently when she’s not in events compared to everyday life. Kana says she’s cute today and for everyone to take a look at the radio photo lol.

– Ayana says she doesn’t have much of in the ways of hobbies, mentioning shopping and stuff lol. Kana herself says she doesn’t have much as well, saying she likes taking walks or reading books.

– Ayana has an elder brother and she says that she’s never thought he was cool, and that it should be normal lol. She then says that he’s probably never thought she was cute as well, to which Kana says “As if! With a little sister like you?!” Ayana replies that she doesn’t remember being doted on at all… In fact she remembers being told to do errands for him a bit lol.

– Kana has a little brother that’s far younger than her. She remembers a time when he was too scared to go to the toilet by himself so she had to go with him lol.

– Ayana’s a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura and many other anime (e.g. Ghost in the Shell lol) and says she’s a bit of an otaku.

– Kana comments that her little brother calls her “Nee-tan” when they’re alone and “Nee-chan” with friends, so one time she was feeling a bit mischievous and when his friends were over and he called her “Nee-chan” she replied saying “Nope, not nee-chan, nee-tan!” This was around when he was in Middle school.

– One of the corners have them being handed net abbreviations and slang and they have to guess what it means. This episode’s one was “wktk”, an expression for excitement and stuff like that, for details go read it up on http://bangin.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/internet-slangs-part-1/

– They guess that it’s an english abbreviation, “Work Talk” lol

– They then guess again it’s a merge of “Wasshoi ktkr” with ktkr meaning something like “It’s here!”, an expression of excitement of something’s arrival or appearance.
Kana: “Eh? Then where’d the ‘r’ go?”

– Next is “m9” Ayana guesses that it’s the name of a gun lol. It’s actually an emoticon thing where it’s supposed to look like a hand pointing towards the viewer. m9(^Д^). It’s kinda hard to see at first isn’t it lol

– A listener sends in a mail describing Ayana as “a bit perverted and ‘M[Masochist in the lightest way possible]'” and Kana as “quiet but actually pretty S[Sadist, again in the lightest way possible]” lol the two of them laugh and start asking each other about their personality traits. Kana in particular is amused by Ayana’s “perverted M” side, to her embarassment and denial lol. Kana asks the listeners to send in info about this side of Ayana to the show haha.

The two of them were a bit awkward at first but they really warmed up to each other and started to enjoy talking between themselves and it was a pretty fun episode. I’ll probably continue to listen to the other episodes :D
