CATDOLL: I hope to wait until the happy end of the voice actor interview of "Gakuen Lonely Island"

The animation work "Gakuen Lonely Island" about cute girls fighting zombies is about to end; although there is a big gap between the animation and the comics; it still has many fans; recently the official invited Minase Inori and Takahashi Rie who starred in the work to conduct a special interview program with them. /p>

Q: After episode 10, episode 11 is also very tense.

Yukiyaku Minase Inori (hereinafter referred to as Minase): Yes. Because I have read the original work, I can expect this to happen. Of course, I actually knew it would be like this when I recorded the first episode (laughs).

Mimi-kun plays Takahashi Rie (hereinafter referred to as Takahashi): That’s right (laughs).

Minase: But after getting the lines and actually reading them, I realized that in the first and second episodes, everyone was basically enjoying their daily lives, and now that I think about it, it was such a precious time. Now the story is almost coming to an end, and I'm sure that the audience who watched episode 11 will think, "Next week, hurry up!" (laughs) And I'm also looking forward to what's going to happen next, and I can't wait.

Q: What do you think, Ms. Takahashi?

Takahashi: To put it simply, I was greatly shocked. This animation version depicts the lives of the four members of the school life club every week, and finally reached the point today. And because I move forward with them, I can sympathize with the struggle in Mi-kun's heart... When I attacked Sister Ji, I also thought at the beginning, "I have to do it, so I did it." But when I actually met Sister Ji face to face, I still felt very entangled. It is because of the accumulation of the previous plot that there are such 11 episodes.

Q: This time the plot is serious from beginning to end, so is there anything that impressed you two?

Takahashi: I was impressed by Yuki-chan's scenes. Especially the last tearful scene. During the recording, I sat there without looking up because I was crying...

Minase: Regarding that part, the emotions I felt when I read the script at home and when I performed with Ms. Chino during the actual performance were different. Some things that I couldn't understand just by reading the lines were revealed during the actual recording. Because I dubbed with Ms. Chino, I was able to further synchronize with Yuki.

Q: I see.

Minase: Personally, although my power is limited, I still hope to give some help to Yuki's growth... The last tears are definitely not just "sadness" and "pain" for Yuki. If it were normal, she would definitely cry loudly, but here she suppressed her voice and sobbed. This is also a determination to change. And that huge change was promoted along with Yuki's tears. Seeing her determination, I feel that Yuki has become very outstanding.

Q: Ms. Minase, are there any scenes that left a deep impression on you?

Minase: The last scene was impressive, but this time Yuki knew the reality, and there were several clips of accepting the reality. In such scenes, Yuki showed some timid and surprised expressions. Yuki had always been smiling before, but after knowing the reality, she also fell into panic. Such descriptions were almost non-existent before, and it was creepy in a good sense. And I also think that I can see the darkness in Yuki's heart.

Q: Ms. Takahashi's character Mi-kun also showed some expressions that have never been shown before.

Takahashi: She was in charge of the serious plot before... Of course, it's not like that (laughs), but this time you can see her slightly weak side. Mi-kun spent some time with Kei in the mall, and because of this relationship, her spirit is also stronger, but when everyone in the school life club dispersed and she became alone again, that feeling of uneasiness suddenly came over her. As expected, she was still supported by her seniors.

Q: Also, the scene with Taroumaru was very heavy.

Takahashi: Yes. When I recalled the scene where Taroumaru confronted Sister Ji, Mi-kun couldn't help but shed tears... I dubbed the voice of Taroumaru with Kato Emiri, who voiced Taroumaru. When Emiri said "Woof woof!", I immediately thought of the previous events, and because of this, it was very difficult to just say the three words "...Taromaru..." I understand why Mi-kun couldn't say anything more.

Q: It seemed like quite a few people in the audience cried.

Takahashi: Mimi-kun and Taroumaru have a lot of interaction in each episode... Especially for fans of the original work, I'm afraid you wouldn't expect that after Mimi-kun and Taroumaru meet in the animation, each other will become such an important existence. Also, in this plot, Mimi-kun often calls the other person's name, and from the way she calls him, you can feel her feelings for the other person - whether it's trust or respect, the name contains her relationship with the other person and incorporates a lot of emotions. And because it's a separation, I hope to take the expression of calling the name seriously.

Q: Also, Hu Tao and Li Jie are also experiencing unprecedented hardships.

Takahashi: Watching it makes me want to shout, “Ah! No no! Please stop! Someone come quickly!” (laughs)

Minase: I have also thought about what I would do if I were in Sato's shoes. If an important person is in this situation, then "can I do it?" At first glance, Kurumi-chan and Sato are not very similar types. One is a lively and energetic girl, and the other is a sister who pays attention to everyone from a distance... However, they support Yuki and Mimi with all their strength, and there must be an invisible trust relationship between the two. And such a person has become the current situation, and if I don't do it, then I may become "them". Sato faces such pressure, which makes me feel so pitiful... So I thought to myself, "Who will fill the void in Sato's heart!" (laughs) Anyway, that scene is so painful.

Q: I see. Well, the story has almost reached its climax. Could you both please tell us what you expect from future works?

Minase: I have no idea how this will unfold...

Takahashi: Have you never heard of it?

Minase: Yeah (laughs).

Takahashi: I haven't heard of it either. So, I really don't know what will happen next... Can the four people really come back? And what I care about most now is, who will save whom?

Minase: This time, Mimi-kun found the medicine, which is also connected to the hope for the next episode. I feel that "this way, maybe Taroumaru can be saved"... From my point of view, I still hope that Taroumaru will be saved in the end. If that really happens, it will be so happy...

Q: Also, can they continue to live in school? This is also a big attraction.

Takahashi: The roof is on fire.

Minase: There are also many "them" approaching outside the fortress... This time, we saw Yuki's outstanding growth at the end, so what will she do next? I think she will move forward actively, so it would be great if we can wait until HAPPYEND.
