Director's growth changed the fundamentals of the work "Witchcup sister Yoyo and Nene" Interview with Hirao Takayuki

The movie "Yojo sister sister Yoyo and Nene" released from December 28 is published by Tokuma ShotenMonthly COMIC RyuIt is based on "Kuroiya yakushi" written by Hirari (story environment development) serialized in. I wonder why this work series serialized in a magazine that is not major has been made into an animated movie, and what process did the work have reached completion? He interviewed Takayuki Hirao and Kondo Hikari Producer.

First of all, starting with an interview with Kondo producer in a state without Director Hirao. First of all, as a first part, I asked questions centering on the planning launch part.

GIGAZINE (hereinafter, G):
First of all, please tell me the chance that you decided to do this work.

Kondo Hikari (below, near):
Try to do something like this from the producer Toshinori Otsuki of King Record, "Cursed yaIt was the chance that I was handed over the book of the book.

G:
Coverage of "Cherry Temperature"There is a memory glitch caught a story saying "I will do this next time" when.

Near
Oh yeah, just "Gyo"Cherry TemperatureIt began when the end of 'was coming.

G:
That means that director Hirao was in a state where three works were in parallel.

Near
The timing itself when I got a story was before "Gyo". Then while making the scenario, it is feeling that I got many ideas that it was not so, or not, and it took about 3 years ago.

G:
As you make it, where is the difficulty?

Near
The scenario was a painful thing .... "Sky boundary contradiction spiral"Gyo", "Cherry Temperature" while making it, "Cherry Temperature" was also struggling. The locality of Hirao-kun is Kagawa prefecture, but when I return home and come back to my hometown, "I want to make a work that friends and their children can see". Boku Makers need a lot of courage to kill a character in the work, but then Hirao-kun said "I do not want to kill characters" .... I'm sure it's related to the scenario 5 I think that it changed a lot in about the year. From my point of view, this work seems to be seeing the history of Hirao's past few years, and I feel deep emotion. Although I have done various works so far, I think that it is steadily becoming "director Hirao's work".


Near
I think that making a work is a person. The connection will create the next. Mr. Otsuki of King Records, who triggered this project, said, "Gakuen Yu Pia A Manabi Straight!People who cheered me and helped me when I was producing ', so it was the start as I had such a connection.

G:
That means that I was in charge of character designYuka ShibataThere is such a connection ... ...

Near
Yes Yes. My relationship is long with Yuka. "Sky boundary"And participating in the ceremony and in the battle of Sho Asakami Fujino, Fujino falls and is doing the place says" It hurts ". This time he was deputy coach, with HiraoTakahashi TacooKun also has a long relationship, Hirao-kun directed, Takuoko-kun supports well with layout and background.

(Director Hirao participates here)

Near
I just praised you.

Takayuki Hirao (hereinafter, Ping):
is that true? (Lol)

G:
I'm learning from why this original was chosen.

flat:
Certainly, why did Mr. Otsuki choose this book, did not he?


Near
It seems that when I saw it at a bookstore I thought, 'This is good!' When this movie is completed, it seems that Yoyonene has become the third one following Gyo, the temperature of cherry blossoms ... ... When you are watching Yoyonene, you can only see Hirao-kun.

flat:
Everyone says this (laugh)

G:
I saw a story from Mr. Kondo saying "I had a difficulty in the scenario."

flat:
I was making a scenario while drawing a contest, so it was difficult to materialize it like a picture. With this character it will not do such a thing, but if it does not do this as an expansion, for example.

Near
At the stage when Yoyonene started, "Gyo" and "Cherry Temperature" had not begun, so it seems that it was a time when I was lost as to what I wanted to make. Scenarios are not going to be very concrete.

flat:
At first it was not for children.

Near
I said earlier, if this new book ("Cursed ya sister Yoyo and Nene"Issue published in February 2012) has not appeared, I think that" Yoyonen "is not included in the title.

flat:
There was a timing that "The direction changed obviously" in making it. Writing the plot, the temperature of Gyo and cherry blossoms was at the end of the time, "I will make the next work (Yoyonene) for children."

Near
You said you told friends in the country.

flat:
Oh yeah, I remembered! I returned to the country a little, but I asked my friends "What kind of works are you making?" Because children are also old, I heard that "There is no one who is looking at my children, too?" So, when playing with children, the game playing is "Mario Kart". Mario is a character that I came out as a child, but children still are still playing. I felt it was amazing to see it ... ... Next time let's try popular things.

Near
As for me, I think that "the temperature of cherry blossoms" was large in Hirao-kun. At the time of Gyo, things of the planned thirty minutes extended and grew 70 minutes ago and they said "something bad". On the contrary, "Temperature of cherry blossoms" is OK as Mr. Hirao should do as you think. I came to listen several times, but as you can expect it. Because the Euphor table decided to do everything from production to distribution, we will not bother the outside person, so the purpose of creating is to do "I want to do whatever Hirao wants to do". I said "Do what you want".

G:
That is also a lively story.

Near
It was an adventure as a UFO table.

G:
It is connected to Yoyonene.

Kondo Producer and Mr. Hirao who told me while talking with each other


flat:
So I thought about Yo Yo's age. Mr. Yo is 6 years old when it is working.

G:
Yo Yo is trapped in the ice at the age of six and it took twelve years to be rescued, so now her figure is still six years old, and her sister is like the opposite as if it were the opposite .

flat:
When you move with that figure, it is a bit too young. When I came to this world, I had to have a look that I could act to some extent by oneself. So, it got larger than the original. For one reason, it is said to be "twist of time and space". Another reason why Mr. Yoyo got larger is to draw a farewell to Takahiro.

G:
farewell.

flat:
I wanted to draw a parting like Juvenile, where Takahiro will leave without knowing only Mr. Yoyo until the end. Because Mr. Yo has a consciousness that he is older than himself, when he encounters, he says "Kurosogaki!" To Takahiro. The relationship between those two people is not romance. However, not only did it make it bigger, but also a sister of a witch-sister, so I thought that I wanted something like that "sister likeness" somewhere. It is because she is a big sister, there must be a part that remembered various failures repeatedly, but I will not show such a failure. People never throw out a weak tone in public. There is an early mentality mentally, but in a demonic country you can revive people, so I have a part that was slightly missing against death.

G:
I see.

flat:
You mean Mr. Yoyo?TricksterThere is something else. When placing that character at the center, I do not know what kind of character it is, I continued to think "What kind of character is it?" Until about B part while drawn a contest.


G:
Mr. StarWhenMr. KakumaIn the interview to "It was that there was not much direction from the director", but Takayo's roleMr. SawashiroThere was something to discuss with.

flat:
Mr. Sawashiro is too good. Although Takayumi was certainly a role of a boy, there was a feeling of incomprehensibility that can not be expressed, and Sawashiro was also twisting his head at the booth, when asked, "I do not know this character" . Takahiro is looking after the Aki properly, but I realize that my parents caught a curse, but there is also a dry side to go out with my friends. In contest, Takahiro's modern child part and good child part were not emphasized, so you did not understand. However, Mr. Yoyo is a partner who forms a combination in this world, Takahiro, so I consulted with Mr. Sawashiro how much he made the character stand up. When I talked to him and talked to him, I was able to misunderstand the nuance of the play at all.

Near
It is really good, but at the beginning it was something different, more "tangled".

flat:
What I was saying at that time was that "Takahiro is definitely a fantasy child, not a modern day child." As a movie, I thought whether Takahiro would be accepted or not is also an important point and I told Mr. Sawashi that I should have such a child because it is OK as a fantasy. Ultimately, did it make me feel like Edoguchi?


G:
I see, that was how it happened. In casting, Biehak of a cat (?) Beside Mr. Yoyo makes a voiceNakagawa ShokoI am in charge, but it was not noticed unless I consciously asked.

flat:
Mr. Nakagawa was delicious. Since I had studied the script exactly and studied, there was a point to point out that at the time of dubbing, "There is a Bihak's reaction here, but can not put it in?" I worked with entertainers for the first time, but they were "actors".

Near
I thought that it was just right to notice "It was shy about" on the end roll, I have not appealed much this time this time.

flat:
The voice actor sometimes has a short time to voice and the time involved in the work itself is shortened, but this time Naga Kanokuma came to the dubbing site as well. Normally, there are not so many people coming so far, but just one voice disappearance was found during dubbing, and I was able to have a voice put on the spot.

G:
Oh, such a thing.

flat:
When it is a casting story, Mr. Star says that he thought, "I wonder what my voice is going on", and from the way I also forgot to see what I'm out I received a message, I was very happy. At the after-recording site, Nils roleKoyasu TakehitoMr.Takahiro SakuraiEvery time I played, I got ad - libs well, so sometimes I could not start being laughing.

G:
Nils is not a person with many turns, but it was conspicuous. This time YoYonane is open to the public on December 28 in Japan, but in Korea it is supposed to be released on 25th December.

Near
I went to the site to make a Korean version around the end of the summer. There was a staff member from Korea who was just in the UFO table, and Mr. Jeong who had written illustrations of Novellize serialized with Animage brought in with us. I did a dubbing for 3 days.

G:
Did the manager of the Korean version cast also be decided?

flat:
I asked the staff to demonstrate and picked out people who have similar voice and chose from among them.

Near
It seems that the dubbing cast in South Korea seems to be tailored to the original Japanese, there are also carriers as voice actors, and they gathered in a good direction. "The cat's returnThose who played the leading role in the film, and those who are leading the national animation of Korea, are such people. Translation itself, tooThe wind risesThose who were translated handled me. This time, I will go to Korea on the first day of the stage greetings when I will start publishing. However, I was surprised to think that it was a day trip (lol)

G:
It is a rare case to be published before Japan.

Near
This time, the members of the Production Committee are highly conscious, so that they can do it even in the world. The risk is high, but among themT. JoyIs strong in Korea. Everyone got lost "Let's go in Korea!" This time, it will be released to more than 100 facilities in Korea, but it seems to be very rarity as an animation movie in Japan. I think that it is almost the first time before the release to Japan. In Korea itself, the number of film attendants is six times, and when this main hall is Japan it becomes a flagship theaterShinjuku Baltic 9I've heard that it will be about 3 times as much as I can.

G:
Three times Bart 9 ... ....

Near
Also, it is impressive that all the people who did the dubbing were glad to see Yoyonen. In Japan, it seems to be the center of subculture, but in South Korea the consciousness of "animation is what children see" is strong, and Yoyonene is expected in that. We are also expecting.

flat:
I answered in other interviews, but I am touched by the fact that my work is screened at Balt 9 where I always go. Mr. Kondo has a strange face (laugh), but since it's about one work in two to three years, I can make it as a director, so posters are appearing in Shinjuku Baltic 9, I am very happy.
