Well, you're in the US now promoting your upcoming anime, Toyko Senhi, how are you liking it here? It is such a nice place! I love American very much? What's your day-to-day life in Japan like?

It is my favorite anime! Well, you're here to promote Tokyo Senhi. What can you tell us about it? It's a fighting girls anime and I made this anime with three main characters. I am also doing the voice acting for the three characters and I am singing the theme song. What are some of the challenges doing so many different things at once? Being a character designer, voice actress, singer, etc. It's actually my dream to be able to do everyhing. I want to be able to do all of it. I want to make anime, do voice acting, sing; everything. You've been in the US before. What are some of your favorite places? I love New York very much. I went to New York before and I want to go to New York Comic Con very much! I plan to go to Comic Con next year with this anime! So you have plans to come back to the US? Yes! I want to go to New York and perform! I want to perform this song [Tokyo Senhi opening theme] there! That's awesome! I'm sure it will be well-received! Maybe we'll see you there. Can you tell us about your favorite musical artists? I love the music of Motown. The Motown style is very awesome. So you mentioned you worked on the character design for Tokyo Senhi. Yes! I made this character. I also did all three of the main character designs. What were some of your inspirations behind the character designs? I really like Absolute Duo and Sword Art Online. The character designs from there are really cute. So are my characters. What are some of your upcoming goals in your music and anime? Hmmm...I don't know yet. Oh? You're still planning? Yes.

Do you have any closing words to your fans? Yes! I have an Instagram account [@amatsuuni]. My followers are all my fans! My biggest fans! You can find out more about Amatsu Uni via her social media. Instragram: instagram.com/amatsuuni Youtube: youtube.com/channel/UCnnbVmZYTXGPQ9zfu1Gkc4w And Tokyo Senhi at: makuake.com/en/project/amatsuuni The above interview was conducted by Manuel Figueroa with assistance and filming by Eunice Wang. In a surprise announcement last week, it was revealed that Morning Musume '15's first single with the new name and new line-up will be the theme song for the upcoming Precure movie 'Eiga Precure All Stars Haru no Carnival"! This comes as a big surprise to many fans as it is a departure from not only their normal style, but also from writer/producer Tsunku. Owing to Tsunku's battles with his health this comes as no surprise, but this author is more than a little sad that all the Hello! Project groups are taking outside penned songs for this round of singles. The new song, "Ima Koko Kara" will join a very small list of songs that are performed by the group, but written by outside producers. That said, this song will be a huge opportunity for Morning Musume to reach a wider audience, both within Japan and abroad. In addition to this news was the announcement that Morning Musume '15 members Iikubo Haruna, Oda Sakura and Ishida Ayumi will be voicing characters in the movie itself! The age of Helllo! Project's presence in anime might be returning in force! These big announcements come at the end of a long drought of proper Morning Musume news and it turns out the wait was worth it! A preview for the song can be found below, but it must be noted that this version of the song is not performed by Morning Musume '15. Stay tuned for more news and updates! |
