Noto~~!! <3

Another year, another time to wish Noto happy birthday again. The past year has been pretty Notoble, with her voicing a few roles she has voiced before in sequels, namely Notozaka Haruka in Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Purezza and Toudou Shimako in Marimite 4. But her new roles were also awesome, with the most determined and cool Tomoe from Queen’s Blade and as an ojou-sama type as Toudou Lilicia in Seitokai no Ichizon. But the role that dominated my memory of the past year is most definitely Kuronuma Sawako from Notodoke; what can I say, it’s simply 2D Noto! Ever so sweet, so cute, so naive (and hence even more cute), so earnest and so lovable; just like Noto! This took the spot of most iconic Noto role ever for sure at least, and now I simply cannot imagine anybody else voicing for that role.

And on Noto’s birthday it seems that I was blessed; opened a signed Starlight Breaker in one of the Nanoha First boxes that I bought today, making this happy day just simply fantastic. Now for another year of joy, another year of happiness and another year of Noto! <3

Remember the Jewels Audition last time, here we are back again with the 3 seiyuus who are voted in.

Okay, not exactly seiyuu snogging each other but who 203 people picked at random want to make out with. Got this image from seiup. For the kanji-impaired:

1. Tanaka RIe
2. Hirano Aya (Is this thing even a seiyuu?)
3. Noto Mamiko
4. Takahashi Chiaki (wandering hands FTW)
5. Horie Yui
6. Kobayashi Yuu
7. Inoue Marina (tied for 7th)
8. Asano Masumi (tied for 7th)
9. Shirashi Ryoko
10. Nakahara Mai

Some nice choices but the lack of my wife on the list makes me rage rather hard. So, which seiyuu do you want to make out with, male or female?

NAGI-SAMA!!!!!

The picture says it all. I think this post is going to be a collection of what I dredged out from seiup this month or so. So, more pictures after the break.

Oh, and Haruka Tomatsu does look extremely appealing with glasses on. I heartily approve.

Please do not be misled by the title of this post. It simply means “Random seiyuu news as presented by NKDS”. Maybe it will become a regular or semi-regular feature, maybe not. We will see.

Let us start off with Nana and Aya in White Album.

Bright smiles all around.

Better known as the Annual Seiyuu Awards in Japan, for the third iteration, fans outside of Japan can now vote for their favourite Japanese voice actors as well! I suppose this in recognition of the fact that with anime going global faster than expected and seiyuu being a very important of a show, it’s a good gauge of how big which one seiyuu is popular amongst us. This will be very interesting see who comes out on top.

KUGYUU-SAMA NO TAMENII!

Voting begins on the 29th of this month at http://www.seiyuawards.jp/eng/
