“Seirei Gensouki” is a fantasy story of reincarnation in another world, where the past and present intersect. Rio, who has awakened the memories of Amakawa Haruto and his great magical powers from his past life, enrolls in a prestigious academy where the children of aristocrats gather. The story depicts Rio, who crawls up from the bottom of a class society, overcoming his cruel fate through repeated encounters and partings.
A new chapter of the “Spirit Chronicles” series has begun! After returning to the Strahl region after his journey, Rio rescues Celia, who was forced into an unwanted political marriage. Then, he is led by a pillar of light that suddenly appears, and has a shocking reunion with Ayase Miharu, the girl he had his first love in his previous life, Amakawa Haruto.
A key visual featuring the characters who hold the key to the story of this work has also been released, and now that we can’t wait for the broadcast, we conducted an email interview with Yuki Kuwahara, who plays Aisia. In addition, a new visual of Aisia for the second season has also been released!
In the interview, we asked Kuwahara Yuki, who plays Aisia, about her impressions of Aisia and what to look forward to in the second season.
──Looking back on Aisia’s performance in the first season, what kind of character do you think she is? Please tell us again about your impressions of Aisia, whether they have changed or remained consistent.
Kuwahara Yuki, voice of Aisia (hereinafter, Kuwahara): I had the impression that she was a girl with a mysterious aura, but in fact she has a strong core, deep love, and is very strong and reliable when it comes to fighting… I have come to have many different impressions of her.
When I act, I want to show all of those different sides of her, but I try to hold back and make sure that Aisia is the most important thing! That hasn’t changed since the first time I met her.
— Now that the second season has been announced, what are your honest thoughts about doing the dubbing?
Kuwahara: Actually, in the first season, it was difficult to record with a large number of people due to infection control measures, and I wasn’t able to record much with Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, who plays Haruto (Rio), but I was happy that we were able to work together a lot in the second season! After all, Haruto (Rio) is the one Aisia talks to the most!
Although it is a sequel, we were able to record with more people, and the dubbing site was filled with excitement, as if a new story was beginning!
–What do you think will be the highlights of Aisia in the second season?
Kuwahara: I had the impression that there were more scenes where she was talking to people other than Haruto (Rio). She doesn’t have many facial expressions and doesn’t say much, but I feel like those few words are packed with kindness and compassion… I was touched by the lines and scenes that made me feel Aisia’s affection.
On the other hand, I think there will be some scenes that will make you smile and make you feel relaxed by Aisia’s laid-back attitude, so please look forward to it!
— As you play Aisia, is there anything that you like about her? Please tell us.
Kuwahara: He usually has a soft and fluffy demeanor, but when he gets into combat mode he’s so cool! It would be really reassuring to have him on your side…!
強い子だからこそ、動きや息のお芝居はあまりやりすぎないよう心掛けていたのですが、それでも戦うアイシアを演じるのは、普段とのギャップもあってすごく新鮮で楽しいです。
──第2期で印象に残っているアイシアの台詞があれば教えて下さい
桑原：台詞とは少し違う答えになってしまうかもしれませんが、可愛いアイシアのもぐもぐ！です！ いつもお家で台本をチェックするとき、美味しそうに頬張るアイシアを想像するのですが……とても癒されます……。密かに見るのが楽しみな場面の1つです！
──ファンのみなさんへ一言お願いします
桑原：ドラマCDから始まり、私が精霊幻想記と共に歩んできた年月も長くなってきました。その中で「第2期を楽しみにしています！」というあたたかいお言葉もたくさん頂いていました。そしてついに、アイシアとしてまた新しい景色が見られる……！ 今はその喜びを噛み締めております。放送までもう少しです！ 楽しみに待っていて下さいね♪
