WEBVTT 00:00:00.541 --> 00:00:05.250 Hello, everyone. This is Narumi Aisaka. 00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:10.875 I provided the voice for this work. 00:00:10.875 --> 00:00:13.375 Um... 00:00:13.375 --> 00:00:17.000 The phrase めいっぱい(meippai) comes up a lot. 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.458 When I first saw it, I thought it was refering to the "giving it all" definition. 00:00:24.458 --> 00:00:27.000 But It didn't seem to make sense grammatically. 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.041 In the end, it was a word play on "Mei" and "boobs", "Mei boobs". 00:00:30.041 --> 00:00:35.750 Mei's boobs. That was the nuance. 00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:37.666 When I first went through the script, 00:00:37.666 --> 00:00:41.041 I figured that out and thought, "Oh, I get it." 00:00:41.041 --> 00:00:45.708 Did you guys figure it out right away? 00:00:45.708 --> 00:00:47.458 Mei boobs... 00:00:47.458 --> 00:00:49.791 There were some parts with the "Giving my all" meaning 00:00:49.791 --> 00:00:54.208 and some "Mei boobs" meaning. Sometimes both would work. 00:00:54.208 --> 00:01:00.666 Were you able to distinguish between them? I was curious, 00:01:00.666 --> 00:01:06.000 so I wanted to bring that up during this free talk. 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.750 Alright, they didn't ask me to talk about any topics in particular, 00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:12.791 so I'll go ahead and talk about whatever I like. 00:01:12.791 --> 00:01:17.791 Mei... I started out by playing her 00:01:17.791 --> 00:01:22.333 as a gentle big sis type. 00:01:22.333 --> 00:01:28.208 In my interpretation of her, I see her as having clear boundaries at the start. 00:01:28.208 --> 00:01:30.750 She's not just gentle. 00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:34.750 She doesn't see another person's pain as her own. 00:01:34.750 --> 00:01:36.791 It's more like... 00:01:36.791 --> 00:01:39.000 Another person's pain is another person's pain. 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.041 My own feelings are my own feelings. 00:01:41.041 --> 00:01:45.916 Her position is that of a counselor. That was my image of her. 00:01:45.916 --> 00:01:50.166 She's gentle, but she's also kind of controlling. 00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:52.375 That was the image I based my acting on. 00:01:52.375 --> 00:01:55.333 And Mei, I think... 00:01:55.333 --> 00:02:02.041 Depending on who she was paired with, 00:02:02.041 --> 00:02:06.583 she might have ended up gently training and controlling them, like an animal. 00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:07.916 She's like the "Awawawa...!" 00:02:07.916 --> 00:02:10.583 Erm... erm... ditzy type of gentle. 00:02:10.583 --> 00:02:14.666 She's gentle, but she's a strong-minded type of gentle type. 00:02:14.666 --> 00:02:17.916 I said "type" twice. 00:02:17.916 --> 00:02:21.458 That was my personal interpretation of her. 00:02:21.458 --> 00:02:26.666 But by the end, she's totally in love with you. 00:02:26.666 --> 00:02:30.666 She's fallen for you completely. 00:02:30.666 --> 00:02:37.083 I think her "I love you" has two totally different nuances at the beginning and the end. 00:02:37.083 --> 00:02:41.125 Near the beginning, she's... She's not just saying it as lip service. 00:02:41.125 --> 00:02:45.500 She's not saying it to make you fall for her. 00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:51.750 She's not trying to manipulate you. It's the "you're cute" kind of "I love you". 00:02:51.750 --> 00:02:55.625 It's the feelings you'd have towards... Well, maybe not a pet, but... 00:02:55.625 --> 00:03:00.791 She loves you, but she doesn't start out "in" love with you. 00:03:00.791 --> 00:03:03.416 But gradually, it becomes... 00:03:03.416 --> 00:03:09.458 "What? He's so manly! I can't resist!" And she gets won over by the pleasure. 00:03:09.458 --> 00:03:15.958 By the end, Mei is head over heels for your manliness. 00:03:15.958 --> 00:03:20.458 I don't know how accurate my interpretation is, so maybe I shouldn't talk about it too much. 00:03:20.458 --> 00:03:22.458 But that's my personal interpretation. 00:03:22.458 --> 00:03:27.541 Oh, and, this is my first time voicing a Live2D thing. 00:03:27.541 --> 00:03:31.875 I have no idea how it's going to come out. 00:03:31.875 --> 00:03:35.250 I wonder what the finished product will be like. 00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:39.041 In audio works, you have to add in explanations to convey certain concepts. 00:03:39.041 --> 00:03:41.541 But with video, you can get away with omitting those explanations. 00:03:41.541 --> 00:03:43.916 For example, in your daily life, 00:03:43.916 --> 00:03:46.875 you don't say, "I'm going to go over and sit beside you." 00:03:46.875 --> 00:03:48.625 You just walk over naturally 00:03:48.625 --> 00:03:51.875 and slide beside them. That's how you'd normally do it. 00:03:51.875 --> 00:03:56.375 So I'm sure there's stuff they're omitting. 00:03:56.375 --> 00:04:00.583 And stuff that I'm not used to doing in audio works. 00:04:00.583 --> 00:04:05.000 I noticed a few instances of that. 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.625 So I'm really looking forward to seeing the final product. 00:04:08.625 --> 00:04:13.125 I wonder how it'll end up. 00:04:13.125 --> 00:04:14.708 And also, Mei... 00:04:14.708 --> 00:04:18.791 This is her first time doing this sort of thing, 00:04:18.791 --> 00:04:24.541 so I'm sure she was nervous at first. 00:04:24.541 --> 00:04:31.666 And she calls you cute, and pats your head, and tells you you're a good boy. 00:04:31.666 --> 00:04:39.208 As a big sis, she's just playing with her little bro. But the tables turn at the end, 00:04:39.208 --> 00:04:44.166 and she's like, "Ahh, I love you! Do whatever you like with this lowly pig!" 00:04:44.166 --> 00:04:45.416 Well, she never calls herself a pig. 00:04:45.416 --> 00:04:49.458 She definitely never says that. But that's kind of how it went. 00:04:49.458 --> 00:04:53.291 She falls for you, and the two of you become all lovey-dovey. 00:04:53.291 --> 00:04:57.541 I thought that was really nice. 00:04:57.541 --> 00:04:59.416 Happy endings are great. 00:04:59.416 --> 00:05:02.041 Anyway, this has been Narumi Aisaka, 00:05:02.041 --> 00:05:03.583 the voice behind Mei. 00:05:03.583 --> 00:05:05.875 I've been told she's going to move very fluidly. 00:05:05.875 --> 00:05:10.458 I'm just as excited as you guys are to see how it turns out. 00:05:10.458 --> 00:05:12.500 I'll be waiting for it to come out. 00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:15.416 Anyway, I'll wrap it up here. This has been Narumi Aisaka. 00:05:15.416 --> 00:05:18.000 Bye-bye.
