Amid loud applause from the audience, Yuko Sanpei, who plays Nozomi Yumehara/Cure Dream, and Junko Takeuchi, who plays Rin Natsuki/Cure Rouge, took the stage. Then, when the host asks them to give the promised greeting'' that is familiar to PreCure, the two of them introduce themselves and start the event by saying their names Cure Dream” and “Cure Rouge.”
The “PreCure” series will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2023, and “Yes! PreCure 5” “Yes! PreCure 5GoGo! ” has been airing for about 17 years this year. And this work is “Yes! PreCure 5” “Yes! PreCure 5GoGo! This is a story depicting the growth of Nozomi Yumehara, who was a junior high school student at the time, and who appears in the movie. In this work, Nozomi, played by Sanpei, appears as an elementary school teacher, and Rin, played by Takeuchi, appears as a jewelry designer.
Let’s go to the talk corner right away. When asked how they felt playing characters who have grown from middle school students to adults, both Sanpei and Takeuchi commented that they felt both joy and anxiety at the same time.
Sanpei mentioned the difficulty of giving a voice to a character who has transitioned from being a middle school student to an adult. Mr. Takeuchi revealed that he was worried before playing the role, as he did not play the character’s life until he became an adult, so he wondered if it was the correct voice acting for the character who suddenly became an adult.
The conversation between the two expanded, and Sanpei said that she was nervous about the viewers’ reaction until the broadcast started. However, in the end, he added that it was reassuring to know that the other voice actors felt the same way as him.
Next, when asked about the episode that left an impression on them, both of them seemed to agree on the first episode. Mr. Takeuchi mentioned the scene where Nozomi and Rin called each other’s names. Sanpei says that Nozomi’s joy when she found Rin overlapped with her own. Ms. Takeuchi went on to say that Nozomi’s collapse in the same scene instantly took her back to when she was a junior high school student, and that the tension was relieved.
Mr. Takeuchi also mentioned the appearance of Saki Hinata and Mai Misho (the main characters of “Futari wa PreCure Splash☆Star”). He played Kenta Hoshino in “Futari wa PreCure Splash☆Star,” and he expressed his joy at being able to see Saki and Mai’s transformation again.
And Sanpei mentioned the scene between Coco and Nozomi in the hospital room in the final episode. She says that she likes the way everyone reacts when they enter the hospital room at the perfect (or bad?) moment when the perfect atmosphere flows between them, as it’s typical of PreCure 5.
Then, the topic of aggressive Kurumi Mimino (CV: Eri Sendai) came up, and Sanpei said that Kurumi Bushi was effective even during the dubbing. I was struck by the sight of Mr. Takeuchi laughing and saying he didn’t know whether it was walnut-bushi or Sendai-sanbushi.
Nozomi and Coco in the final episode mentioned here have a further behind-the-scenes story that you must listen to, and it is included in the first limited audio bonus CD of “Kibo no Chikara ~Otona PreCure ’23~” Blu-ray & DVD!
Next up is the topic of connections between your character and other characters.'' Sanpei talks about PreCure's "Bunbee". He mentioned that Bunbee was revealed to be a fan of Dream in this work, and said that he is now a "father." Furthermore, when Mr. Takeuchi asked Mr. Sanpei what he thought about the relationship between Nozomi and Coco” from his own point of view, from a perspective other than his own, he said that it was frustrating that the relationship was slow to progress, and it was more like Kurumi’s point of view. There is also a scene where he confesses that maybe.
Mr. Takeuchi commented about “Rin and Nozomi” that he was happy that they stayed by his side even when they became adults.
She also said that she had always thought that Rin and Karen Minazuki (CV: Ai Maeda) had a lot of similarities in their personalities. “Yes! At the time of “Pretty Cure 5,” the two were portrayed as having conflicting opinions, but based on their relationship in the previous work, he revealed that he sympathizes with the scenes in this work where these two support each other.
