Ambi'seiyuulog

This episode’s guest is Makoto Nanaya’s seiyuu, Isomura Tomomi again, should be a fun episode :D.

– Sugita starts of with an OreImo reference lol. Listener sends in a mail talking about how his dad told him not to play too much H games, and Sugita responds “Wait, no it’s Kirino’s!” hah

– Ehh There’s no Kanako at the start of the episode, but Isocchi starts off with them… Isocchi is replacing Kanako for this episode? …Nope Kanako comes in as a guest as “Lambda’s seiyuu” lol. I’m guessing she was running late or something :O They mentioned something about buying time before she arrived and she came in pretty flustered.

– I think I’ve said this before but I love when Sugita does his Kakihara Tetsuya voice, he sounds so crazy ahaha.

– Sugita asks Imai about her siblings and she says she has an elder brother that she’s always trying for his attention, but he’s all cold to her :O Isomura says she’s a single child.

– When deciding who to pick out the writing order for the four of them first for the Ao no Chikara corner, Imai says “[Whoever think’s they’re]The cutest person here can pick first!” the three girls then hesitate a bit before Sugita goes “Yeah I’ll pick first!”

– Imai announces that Tsubaki will have a song for Continuum Shift II :O

Adding Isocchi into BluRaji is always great. The way Sugita and Isocchi bounces their thoughts and references off each other is happiness :D

The three of them announced that they had a heap of guests coming on to the show later on. >_>

– The three of them are looking at an illustration of Makoto looking depressed since she’s being avoided by Noel and Tsubaki in the summer due to them talking about how they’d love to curl up with her tail in winter since it’d warm them up. Imai then says “Don’t worry Makoto… Your bare skin can cool us down~” Lol Imai <3.

– Turns out the guests are Bang’s minion, Nu, and Yarukaka…. Voiced by Sugita Tomokazu, Kondou Kanako and Imai Asami respectively OTL. I knew this was coming ahahah.

– Sugita forces Kanako to read a listener’s name called “Big, fat and loong fish sausage” lol. I call that sexual harassment!

– The theme for the art corner was “Something that would be in Ragna’s room”.

Imai drew a photo of Jin saying “I want to believe in the love between these two” …lol

Kanako drew a Jubei dakimakura
Sugita drew a… Kangaroo lol. With Ragna’s room being the pouch.

– Jin dakimakura announced on the show. Ahaha. OTL

– They celebrated Sugita’s birthday as a surprise on the show \o/ Incidentally Mori P(Toshimichi Mori, producer of Blazblue) had his birthday near as well so they called him in to celebrate as well.

– When Sugita and Mori P were about to blow out the candles Imai did the same thing she did with KitaEri… Ninja’d the candles ahahah

I’m loving Mingosu more every time I hear her <3.

It’s been a while since BluRaji has had no guests but it’s still as fun as ever :D

Also, happy 30th birthday Sugita! \o/ …Though really, his birthday’s on the 11th so there’s a couple more days to go lol

Lol was that Mingosu and Sugita flirting at the start? :O

– Imai complains that Makoto’s moves were flashier than Tsubaki’s. Were they? I thought Tsubaki’s were pretty flashy already?

– Kana comments that Rachel seems a bit kinder compared to the first BlazBlue.

– Kana complains about the narration work for the training mode, reading out all the terms and how many words there actually were lol. She tries to push it onto Imai if theres a next time, but she refuses hah.

– Sugita tells Kanako to say something kinda ero in the mood of Noel’s dakimakura lol. Oi Sugita isn’t that sexual harassment? lool

Sugita mentions Nakamura three separate times this episode lol.

Guest on this week’s Dedooon is Umino Chika, Honey and Clover’s mangaka. Interestingly enough Kamiya was also there, though not as a guest. He came into the studio but didn’t talk much, probably something to do with pay and other business related things, he came along just to play after all :)

– Sugita says Gatou Shouji (Full Metal Panic’s writer) has one of the coolest voices out of the other creators he’s heard.

– Kamiya starts talking more when the video game playing corner comes on. He goes back to silent after it ends though.

– Sugita asks Umino to draw AGRS there. :O

Incidentally, this was what she drew:

– Nakamura Yuuichi comes in as a surprise guest 40 minutes into the show to celebrate Umino’s birthday! :D

– The three of them sing a really low song for her, it wasn’t happy birthday too lol.

– Umino sounded really happy, how wonderful <3.

Nakamura had work right before coming so he had to come late, it’s nice he arrived as early as he could though.

Also, if anyone was curious, the name of this radio comes from a merge of “Anime, Game, Radio” for “Anigera” and “Dedooon” is just the sound effect for an explosion.

Hosts: Kadowaki Mai, Kitamura Eri, Shindou Kei
Guests: Sugita Tomokazu, Majima Junji

Date: 2009.07.24

Radio hosted by Kadowaki Mai (Mimi), Kitamura Eri (Kokonoe), Shindou Kei (Kuro). This episode’s guests are Majima Junji (Aoki Daisuke) and Sugita Tomokazu (Reiji).

– Sugita says he would prefer to play card games with Nakamura than to go out on a date with a girl lol.

– When a listener asks who would know the most about BL, they all point at Sugita, which he agrees saying “Well I do appear in BL media after all” He notes that the amount of BL work he’s been doing has been decreasing lately though :O

– Sugita: “You look forward to rain for sports days not because they get cancelled, but because the girl’s gym clothes get wet!” ahaha

– Sugita’s greeting to each of the three female seiyuu were:

KitaEri: “Ah the Blood+ Girl”

Shindou Kei: “That was a wonderful greeting ojou-sama”(Gundam 00’s Wang Liu Mei)

Maita’s one was censored lol.

– They do a skit on the show and Sugita’s role is the sound effects lol. Why is he making sucking and slurping noises in a romantic Kokonoe X Aoki scene?? lawl

– When Aoki calls Kokonoe “Baka” KitaEri goes into M mode and says “I love it when you call me baka” and starts laughing hysterically lol.

It’s rare to see a radio combination like this. Sugita mentions that he was unsure of how the show would turn out before he guested, but he had fun in the end so it’s all good. Fun to listen to. There were also a lot of BL fun between Sugita and Majima ahaha. OTL

Radio hosted by Gotou Yuuko and Ogihara Hideki. I wrote something about the history of the show and how long it’s been going for but Soup ate it up so I can’t be bothered to rewrite it. Apparently scrolling too far down the page gets rid of whatever you had up at the top. /rage

Basically, it’s a radio show that’s been airing since 2005.07.18 and it continues to this date. Oh and Ogihara Hideki voiced Rin’s friend Midoriba Itsuki in SHUFFLE!

The episode has them talking mostly about SHUFFLE!

– Sugita’s mum loves watching bishoujo anime lol, and really enjoyed SHUFFLE! hah. Sugita mentions that when she saw Kaede going all yandere she was all like “Whoa what happened to her??” Gotou then apologises to Sugita’s mom lol.

– They talk about how scary Kaede got, in particular her eyes. Gotou apologises lol.

– Gotou asks Nishimata what was her first impression of Sugita, and she replies “Err well.. He’s a wonderful person” What a stock standard reply lol.

They ask Sugita if he wants to come again next week on the show, and they pretty much organise it on air lol, that’s kinda rare, they often tell the guest to come again but it’s mostly decided before or after they’ve done airing the show.

Host: Kawasumi Ayako ( + Noto Mamiko as an “assistant”)
Guest: Sugita Tomokazu

Date: 2001.12.19

Dubbed as an “Internet Television” show back then but is more like a present day radio show + video. It’s hosted by Kawasumi Ayako as the main personality with her “cute airheaded rookie seiyuu assistant” Noto Mamiko(lol). This was done in 2001 so Sugita and Mamiko were both 21 and Ayako was 25 at the time. Incidentally this is the final episode of the show.

The show is split into different sections, with the people changing as well. Mamiko sits out for a couple and Sugita sits out for another couple.

Also, lol at Sugita’s T-shirt.

– Sugita’s a really new rookie at the time but he’s as free as ever lol. GJ Sugita!

– People send in mail saying they don’t know who Sugita is lol. A lot of things change in nine years don’t they hah.

– He promotes the two shows he’s currently performing in with the other two as X with Mamiko and Ayashi no Ceres with Ayako. He also talks about appearing in “A new series that’s about to air called ‘Onegai Teacher'” lol that’s nostalgic.

– Mamiko’s first impression of Sugita was someone who seemed serious at first, but then suddenly says something funny, she found that a bit mysterious about him.

– Sugita does his Wakamoto imitation, to the other two’s delight lol.

– Back then Sugita was only doing voices for villains and his mother was complaining to him about that lol. Presently Sugita’s been mostly doing good guys now if I recall correctly though. Other than Macross Frontier that is.

– Ayako tells Sugita that he doesn’t seem like a young person, and more like an old man lol.

– Sugita says that when he gets drunk he doesn’t change that much.

– Sugita’s voice has gone lower in these nine years lol.

– Mamiko being teased for being an airhead was pretty cute <3

– Sugita still makes references regardless of if the other personalities will pick up on it hah.

– Ayako finishes up the program saying “Well as everyone can see, Sugita is a pretty strange person” and she plays a 20 second or so song that she made about him on piano ahaha.

– The translation of the lyrics go something like this:

“Sugita-kun is a very strange person, he always has a troubled face. But he has a very good voice, he’s a very mysterious person.” lol that’s so Nodame-like Ayacchi~

Interestingly, Sugita and Mamiko’s careers moved at pretty much the same pace. They had both debuted at a similar time, Sugita at 1999 and Mamiko at 1998, at this time they were very new rookie seiyuu with barely 1 regular role to date in their career and had only been in the industry for a couple of years. Similarly their career started skyrocketing at a similar time in 2003/2004. Ayako, as the main personality of the show herself was already a pretty prolific and well established seiyuu at this point.

Seiyuu DO is an hour-long radio show hosted by Imanami Yuusuke, a non-seiyuu radio personality, that’s centred around getting to know the seiyuu that guests on the show, it’s interesting due to how it’s more like an interview rather than a normal radio talk program and it’s a great show for learning various things about the seiyuu guest’s background as well as who they are as a person. It has been airing fortnightly since its start on 2009.04.16 and to this day it’s currently at its 34th episode.

They’ve had many other big seiyuu on the show, starting off with Suzumura Kenichi while their latest episode has Toyoguchi Megumi. Other guests that have guested that I can name off the top of my head are Kikuko Inoue, Kitamura Eri, Nakahara Mai, Shintani Ryouko, Ohara Sayaka, and so on.

– Sugita is told that his Dedooon radio show’s popularity is rather significant and he replies saying he doesn’t really know much about that side of it. He also notes that his pay doesn’t increase depending on it’s viewership lol. He does mention that his “more interesting requests” sometimes get granted on the show as a kind of reward though.

– The first time Sugita recognised a seiyuu by voice was Wakamoto Norio’s voice when Sugita was a child. The character he saw him play was Cell in DragonBall Z :O Though he didn’t know his name until much later.

– Sugita mentions that he’s noticed the expectations people have of him when it’s his turn to talk or so. Such as situations in a cast interview where people think “Next up is Sugita, he’ll probably do something interesting”

– Sugita’s parents weren’t against him becoming a seiyuu but they told him to at least attend university it seems.

– After high school and before going to University, Sugita ronin’d for a year. This was when he started studying to be a seiyuu.

– He talks about the dancing lessons he had :O He found the lessons pretty difficult.

– Sugita debuted while he was attending university.

– Sugita notes that his first voice work was narration work in his agency, work unrelated to anime. He also says he didn’t get paid for it and did it for experience.

– When asked what was his first paid job he says “Cybuster”. Sugita notes that everyone was older than him and he didn’t have any other seiyuu acquaintances at the time.

– Random bit of trivia: Ayashi no Ceres recordings were done on Saturdays.

– He mentions that the first time he met Nakamura Yuuichi (though he didn’t explicitly say his name until later in the episode) was in 2001, in Dennou Boukenki Web Diver, a kid’s anime. He said it was the first time he met someone his age at a recording and then became friends with him pretty quickly.

– When asked if Sugita had a senpai that doted and looked after him when he was just starting he replies that everyone was really nice to him so not really one in particular. He mentions that young male voice actors were rare at the time so he attracted a bit of attention there.

– While he was describing the cast of Web Diver he said “A really nice guy the same age as me was there” AKA. Nakamura lol

– He notes that he doesn’t meet up with Nakamura that often at recordings due to both of them never holding a regular spot in the same anime ever since Web Diver. Until Macross Frontier.

– Sugita mentions a time when he had to dance the dance that showed on a certain ending theme. Definitely Haruhi lol.

Overall an interesting episode and a nice look into how Sugita’s experiences were as a seiyuu when he had just started, if I have the will and time, perhaps I’ll go through the other episodes as well.

This episode has Relius Clover’s seiyuu Suwabe Junichi guesting.

– Isomura seems to be there at the studio lol, they should just get her to come in if she’s already there!

– Suwabe says that he researched the radio on the net and stuff when he got the news that he’d be guesting on the show and found some people saying “Apparently ‘Suwabe Junichi’ is guesting on the show… Who’s that?” to the other three’s surprise. Pfft!

– Kanako says she had to write a picture diary in middle school… Which is an assignment normally reserved for elementary school students lol.

– Suwabe says that the other day there was a really good wind that flipped a girl’s skirt that he was passing by. He noted that the girl was wearing striped blue panties~ lol

– Suwabe mentions that he used to work part time at a game center a loong time ago.

Yeah, I did end up relistening to the previous episode where Nakamura Yuuichi guested lol.

– Sugita starts off with a Shuffle Reference. Ahh Shuffle, how nostalgic~

– Kanako guested on Imai’s radio show “SSG” with the producer of the show but it was initially supposed to have been Kanako as well as Sugita but Sugita couldn’t make it. That’s a shame :( I wonder if they’ll try and get them together for SSG again.

– Sugita makes another Shuffle reference. The scene where Kaede was stirring the empty pot lol. Yeahhh I bet that left an impression on him as well lol.

– Sugita notes that the BGM for the Ao no Chikara corner sounds like Excel Saga. I was thinking the same thing lol. Also Isomura agreed with him.

– They talk a bit about Touhou at Comiket. Sugita ask’s Isomura if she’s a “Marisa Person”

– Sugita calls Hazama’s “Down C” attack “2C” It goes to show how well Sugita knows fighting games and it’s theory :D

– Isomura says she prefers Yuri over BL lol.

– Sugita and Imai laments “why wasn’t Isomura born a boy! You and Sugita could be best friends, hanging out at your place playing games, calling up Nakamura as well”

– Imai then changes it to “How about if Sugita was a girl, from now on you can be Sugiko!” Lol

– Kanako makes alot of mistakes while reading out the ending script lol.

– Seems like it was Kanako’s birthday and they celebrated it with a cake there. \o/

Isomura is a pretty big fan of anime and all things otaku so she matches up really well with Sugita’s references lol. There were heaps of references flying around from both Isomura and Sugita this episode. Heaps. It’s fun to have an equally as otaku friend that you can just chuck references around with isn’t it :)

P.S. I only just noticed that there are no more Battle Battle corners in Zoku BluRaji :( I loved that corner.
