Why is CATDOLL:LL so popular? Voice actor Maki Nishikino explains the charm of this work

The super popular project "Love Live!" has now become the object of pursuit of countless anime fans, and the theatrical version of this work has also set a box office record for late-night works. Recently, Pile, who voiced Maki Nishikino in the work, talked about the charm of the work's popularity.

When Pile talked about the reason why the work has attracted so much attention, she used the phrase "Because the work stated from the beginning that this is a 'story that everyone realizes together'..." She also emphasized the added effect of the intersection of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds: "In the beginning, no one wanted the CDs we sold at Comiket. For us, it was also an inexplicable and mysterious work, but then people began to support us, and the CDs became popular, and an animation was released... In a good sense, our members are connected to the characters, but they are also different from each other. And the members also value their roles very much..."

Pile is engaged in singing activities while holding concerts as a member of the idol group "μ's". In a sense, she is a person who shares the two-dimensional and three-dimensional existence. She said: "I recently saw a term called 'all-round development', and our members may be singers and actors, with exposure in many fields and angles. And this may also be the reason why "Love Live!" is popular."

The actors also began to overlap with their characters: "We gradually began to resemble the characters we play. For example, a member's favorite animal would become the character's favorite animal and appear in the work... We were synchronized in many ways."

In addition, there is a different excitement when performing as a member of the idol group "μ's" and performing as an individual. Pile laughed and said, "It's really difficult and interesting, as if I have two personalities... So I also want to try to observe myself from the outside."

Love Live! grew up under the influence of performers, fans, and other aspects. Pile himself believes that the expressiveness gained from the work can help his personal activities. "I will change, and the work is also constantly evolving... It's really great to meet this work." And this feature of the work that inherits the "bloodline" of all participants may be its greatest charm.
