To survive as a voice actor," guest Tomokazu Seki talks about how only a veteran actor can fight the battle! Report on the 4th "Glass Night with Director Suzumura

Director Nobuhiro Suzumura, who has worked on a number of tokusatsu productions including "Kamen Rider Kuuga," "Kamen Rider Agito," "Sailor Moon," "Go-onger," and "Akibaranger," as well as dramas such as "No Con Kid: Our Game History," "Hatsumori Bemers," "Shonan Jun-Ai Gumi! YOUNG GTO!", the fourth episode of "Director Suzumura's Glass Sun Night", a program in which director Nobuhiro Suzumura serves as the main personality, was broadcast on January 20, 2021, from 20:00 on the Nico Nico Channel.

Director Suzumura's Glass Night" is a talk show featuring Nobuhiro Suzumura, a visual director, as the main personality. The program features not only actors, actresses, voice actors, and other entertainers, but also creators, cultural figures, musicians, and other guests of various power, sometimes lively, sometimes in-depth, and with a variety of perspectives.

This time, voice actor Tomokazu Seki continued his guest appearance from the previous episode.

In his second appearance on the show, Seki was even more at home than last time. I felt that his "frankness" seemed to have increased even more. ......

The fourth episode, the first broadcast of 2021, started with the topic of "aspirations for this year.

I will try not to die" (Director Suzumura) and "Live healthy! (Mr. Koyama) and "Live healthy! He shared some episodes from the year-end and New Year's holidays, including his annual "soba (buckwheat noodle) making" and going to see the first sunrise of the year with Masaru Maezawa of Rainbow Zokei.

In the previous episode, "Oshiete! Suzumura-sensei" corner, Mr. Koyama recommended "Kikaider. He had checked out the TV version and the original manga version, so he tried to join the talk of the two senior tokusatsu experts, but Director Suzumura and Seki started to talk about deep tokusatsu talk without Koyama's attention. Good luck to Mr. Koyama ......!

In the corner to answer questions submitted by viewers on Twitter, they talked about the innovations of the "Space Detective" series in response to the question "Tell me about the "Space Detective" series," and "What you keep in mind when fighting alongside heroes" from those who are in the midst of local heroes. To the question, Seki answered, "Not to get in the way (of the heroes)" and "Not to destroy their dreams.

Since this was his second appearance, some of the questions seemed a bit twisted, but Seki-san still answered them in a straightforward manner.

One of the most interesting parts of the talk was the corner of "Oshiete! Suzumura-sensei," an episode from Mr. Seki's boyhood came up. It would be unthinkable today, but in the Showa period (1926-1989), books usually included the author's address and telephone number. Seki, who was drawing yokai manga at the time, was quite active even at a young age, calling Shigeru Mizuki's office to hear stories about yokai from Mizuki himself and visiting Go Nagai's Dynamic Productions in person.

When an actor friend of Mr. Koyama said that he would like to work with Mr. Seki, Mr. Seki suggested, "Let's film (a drama) using iMovie (video editing software released by Apple Inc. and also compatible with the iPhone)," and "about 2.5 minutes each day. When director Suzumura leaned forward, Seki put pressure on him, saying, "I'm going to put my life on the line as a director," and "We have to make it interesting.

Will the drama project ever come to fruition? During this talk, it was also decided that Mr. Seki will become a "Glass Night" semi-regular, so we may be able to look forward to more developments at ......!

In addition, when Director Suzumura said, "I have never seen (Mr. Seki) get angry," Mr. Seki said, "Not really." He told an episode about how he tightens his grip as the chairman of the "Herohero-Q Kamppany" theatrical troupe.

In recent years, however, he has had more opportunities to play comical characters in kids' animated cartoons. He says that while people who have been watching anime for a long time feel comfortable with Seki playing second-rate characters, the younger generation is aware that a funny character can also play a second-rate character, and that as the generation of fans changes, so does their perception of the actor.

He said that as the generation of fans changes, so does the perception of actors. Both director Suzumura and Mr. Koyama were surprised at the comments made by the veteran voice actor.

The fifth episode of "Director Suzumura's Glass Night" is scheduled to air on Tuesday, February 23 at 8:00 p.m. The next guest will be actor Toshiki Gashu, who played the role of Shoichi Tsugami in "Masked Rider Agito. Questions and messages about the program are welcome, so why not take this opportunity to ask him what you want to hear?

Comments after the broadcast!

Seki Thank you very much for your help for the second consecutive time and for the year-end and New Year's holidays. Thank you very much. Glass Night" will continue in the future, so please continue to support us. I am cheering for you too. And I was also told by the director that I would be coming to the show as well. I am of the Showa generation, so I will be there (laughs). I look forward to your support!

Suzumura Congratulations on having Mr. Seki as a guest for the first time in the new year. I have known Mr. Seki for almost 30 years, and we have been friends since we were both in our 20s. We talk about the same hobby of special effects, and since we are of the same generation, I always enjoy talking with him without worrying. I'm thinking of having Mr. Seki come on as a semi-regular guest from now on and turning it into "Tomokazu Seki's Glass Night" (laughs).

Koyama: I really enjoyed the show with Seki-san, as I did last time, and I was able to learn some trivia in the question-and-answer corner. I loved Momoya Kinomoto from "Card Captor Sakura," so I was happy to be able to work with her like this.
