Nanachan, Yukarin, Hocchan, and some other folks

4/14/2009

I want to tell myself this is the last time I’ll randomly buy seiyuu magazines but I know how well that’d work out ^^;; Think my life would be a lot easier if I could just get subscriptions to these magazines, so at least that way I won’t cry everytime I see 100USD+ in Amazon charges when the mood strikes.

Before you go on to check out the 100+ quick photos and commentary, the magazines that made me broke this month are (from left to right) Seiyuu Animedia May 2009, Seigura May 2009, Pick-up Voice March 2009, Pick-up Voice April 2009, and Seiyuu Animedia March 2009.

I’m actually not that much of a Yukari Tamura fan but since I was on a spending spree, I went “meh” and just bought this. Also helped a little that abao did a review of the magazine too ^^

Yuuichi Nakamura and Mamoru Miyano from Gundam 00.

Aya Endo who’s only two years old than me. Go fig.

Clear file of you-know-who.

Flip side plus the start of some Yukarin coverage that I can’t read.

I gotta admit the photographers are definitely doing their job as she looks 5x better than I usually see her as.

New album with track listing I believe.

I got to cater to the fangirls as well, right?

Promotion for Yui Horie’s newest CD single at the time

More Hocchan goodness

Daisuke Ono is frickin’ awesome, period.

Love Kenichi Suzumura’s comedic roles the best. Bit about his CD single… anyone hear it yet? Couldn’t find it on torrents so I guess it wasn’t that good eh?

Another seiyuu that doesn’t need introduction talking about her first tour

OMG you would not believe how many times I’ve heard them promoting Ryoko Shintani’s “Marching Monster” single(?) when listening to misc anime radio!

I just laugh at whomever idea THIS was

Weird seeing Rie Tanaka with fake hair

Gotta give the love for Natsume Yuujinchou; great series!

Is it sad that anytime I think of seiyuus with good legs, j1m0ne also pops in my mind?

Soul Eater main seiyuus plus the anti-climatic villian they defeated at the end…

Did anyone actually stick around for all of Kurozuka? I tried, honestly I did, but I just couldn’t take it anymore after like episode three!

For the man I know who wanted to see the KAREN Girls the most ^^;;

Nothing but praise for Romi Paku’s works!

LOL covering up too much leg darn it!

CONNECT, apparently the brain child of Mitsuo Iwata and Kenichi Suzumura

ssooo… much… pink…

A little easier on the eyes, thank you ^^

If I was a bigger Yukarin fan, I’ll be singing crazy praise right now I guess?

Gotta admit, think I like how she looks in Pick-up Voice better than Seiyuu Animedia’s photos…

… probably cause the clothes look more normal/every-day-ish I guess…

… although her ears are still noticeable to me even an mile away (and yes that was mean)

More Gundam 00 fun, this time with Marina’s seiyuu Ayumi Tsunematsu

Some old seiyuu I don’t think anyone remembers ^^;;

I don’t think Ai Nonaka can sing with a salt but she’s definitely cute in almost 99% of the photos I’ve seen of her

Man I miss Maaya Sakamoto’s since I haven’t been following her recent works of late. I still get a kick out of her role as Mishio Amano from Kanon on the drama(?) CDs. Frickin’ hilarious!

Wow just realized how unflattening this photo is of Kana Asuma due to the angle I took it at. Oops

For the fangirls, I swear! It’s not like I have a man-crush on Daisuke Ono or anything @_@

Still don’t know what to think of that Yui Horie doesn’t look like she aged in the past five plus years

Once again, I’ve got to hand to it the photographers at Pick-up Voice. They make seiyuus that I normally think of (looks-wise) as “meh” to “whoa she’s kinda cute” (and WTF that doesn’t sound right or flattening at all)

How old is Hocchan again?

Definitely not a big fan of the short bob cut look -_-

Thus the long wait begins until LIVE FEVER hopefully gets released in some media format in the near future

Tis torture I tells ya!

What hasRyoko Shintani done of late? I can’t think of any major roles for her in the past year or two…

Weirdest pairing ever of Shinichiro Miki and Ryoko Shiraishi from Gundam 00 2nd season.

You know I was thinking about it, but this isn’t the first time those two have played opposite lovers. Tenjo Tenge anyone?

There’s actually a decent amount of Aya stuff throughout all these magazines but I’ve limited what I’m showing for some folks’ sanity ^^;;

Where’s DarkMirage/The Paper when you need him for Maaya related news!?

I have absolutely no clue what this live event was about but the Minami-ke and Today in Class 5-2 cast were involved! Darn!

Tomokazu Seki… man I don’t think he’s in any real major anime this season right?

Definitely a lot of Daisuke Ono coverage… guess he’s rising in popularity?

Another weird combination of seiyuus I would never expect to be together (from left to right): Daisuke Namikawa, Mitsuki Saiga, Jun Fukuyama, and Junichi Suwabe

Even with such a diverse cast, I really wish the anime they’re all in 07-Ghost would pick up a little. Interesting first episode but I fell asleep multiple times trying to get through the second.

It’s spring so yay!

Any takers?

Pretty cool section here where they have seiyuus dressed up for normal 9-5 jobs.

The legs… the legs!!! How much to hire again ^_^

The (a)typical Japanese salaryman by day, killer seiyuu by night?

Crap. I need to amass a fortune, start a company in Japan and hire (good looking female) seiyuus who need some extra cast as office assistants. It’d be a win-win situation I tells you!

Well at least they’re not called “Circle”… that’ll be funny and really stupid at the same time

You know sometimes I think I take these quick photos of seiyuus with good legs just to get a comment out of j1m0ne. It’s like they always say, “if there’s a seiyuu with great legs, j1m0ne will come” or something

A bit about one of the sphere members…

A bit about one of the sphere members 2x…

You know I’m surprised I got through one of Yukarin’s live concert without killing myself (I’m just waiting for the Yukarin fans to rage any moment here)

Wet Ai Nonoka = INSTANT WIN

I think the photo says it all for those who know who this is LOL

Awful hair in this one but you sorta see under-boob, so it balances out

It’s Haruka Tomatsu, enough said. (Plus I’m losing steam here…)

When there’s an image of Nana Mizuki, I’ll be there!

Random booklet highlighting some of the couples of this anime season

First couple is about some anime series ’bout some dude in an armor that can do magic and shiz

Next are four girls doing the female version of BECK

Then we have a series about a guy that can only get lucky when he sings like a girl

*imaginary fangirl cheers* ???

*waiting for the usual Aya comments*

The whole FRICKING reason I ordered all these magazines!

Probably due to White Album, anywhere Nana is Aya is shortly behind ^^;;

Guess the anime they’re all in this season?

Yuka Iguchi in good old Index cosplay although it looks pretty normal for some reason

Onee-sama?

*shakes fist at not buying a bigger higher end scanner*

Blue really works well with Nana Mizuki IMHO (then again, it is my favorite color as well)

Info about her upcoming tour LIVE DIAMOND but in all honesty I’m just enjoying the eye candy on the right!

*drools*

Always great to see some veteran seiyuus get spreads like these

Definitely felt Easter-ish after looking at this photo for a bit ^^;;

Now that looks cool!

They gotta get Daisuke Ono to sing a full version of the Curry Fairy Song. It’ll be EPIC, I swear!

Kind of sad that Yuka is using the same exact voice in Shangri-la so I can’t help but think Index is trying to take over the world

Looking at the future rising stars of 2009?

For a second I thought this was about Queen Blade

Should I feel bad the first thing I noticed was Marina seemed a bit “bigger” than normal in her profile photo? I mean I know it’s the angle and whatnot but still…

Hatsukoi Limited seiyuus

Julius_Firefocht already posted about this but nice to see this in the flesh as well. Guess I’ll be ordering a copy when it’s available ^^;;

No clue what this is about but it’s Nana Mizuki, so it’s all good…

… but if I had to guess, guessing she’s recommending some foreign movies?

Ai Nonaka, always easy on the eyes

Always love the behind-the-scenes stuff

It’s CIRCLE sphere!

The girls try to conquer eating my normal food intake ^^;; (only 1/2 kidding)

May’n's upcoming single which is also the opening song for Index-Taking-Over-the-Wor… I mean Shangri-la

As much as I love like 90% of Rie’s cosplay I’m just not feeling this. I think it has to do with the twintails…

The SOLE reason any decent Nana-chan fan should buy at least two copies of Seiyuu Animedia May 2009 edition!

I cried a little when I realized there were a few bends/folds ruining the awesomeness of these posters!

Actually debating whether or not to order another copy of Seiyuu Animedia so I can frame the Nana-chan poster(s) but common sense is currently saying no. Hopefully irrational spending will win (again) in the near future?

I also still have a few more Nana Mizuki related posts left with the rest of the merchandise I got, so if you’re getting sick of me talking about the girl I would avoid dropping by for the rest of the week if I were you O_o

    Whoa… that’s a lot of seiyuu pictures.. but wasn’t Tomokazu Seki in that anime about that boxing thing that got a remake or something? I also don’t think that Megumi Hayashibara is old… T_T

    How did it turn out to be over 100 USD for five magazines? Did it come with something special?

  2. danie~ on 4/15/2009 at 1:08 am

    I awesomely bought two copies of Animedia by accident.
    And I got both posters a bit bent too. :( Trying to iron it straight and probably frame it. Nyan~!

    And no, Nana wasn’t recommending a movie, she is the Japanese dub for the leading female in the Korean movie Saikyo Kanojo (http://www.cinemart.co.jp/saikyo/).

  3. kiseki gurl on 4/15/2009 at 1:42 am

    That blue dress Nana photoshoot is probably the best one I’ve seen so far. I wish I had the money to import magazines :/.

    >> As much as I love like 90% of Rie’s cosplay I’m just not feeling this. I think it has to do with the twintails…

    I think it has to do with lack of boobs.

    “Kind of sad that Yuka is using the same exact voice in Shangri-la so I can’t help but think Index is trying to take over the world”

    I lol’ed hard with this one.
    And it’s just me that every time I see Maaya Sakamato I automatically remember of Yuuri Morishita?

    Also, we need some of these scans as wallpapers… like nao!

  6. omgwtfbbq on 4/15/2009 at 10:53 am

    What the hell!? HOw could you not like Kurozuka? One of the best animes that season. Although the end was a little bit meh.

  7. Zeroblade on 4/15/2009 at 3:56 pm

    Oh god, my router is choking from all the pictures @_@
    It still strikes me as somewhat surprising to see the seiyuu looking so young, even though some are already hitting their 40′s.

  8. abao on 4/15/2009 at 5:02 pm

    O_O awesome picture spreads XD

  9. Eri-sama on 4/16/2009 at 3:34 pm

    “*imaginary fangirl cheers* ???” — Woot~!

  10. Nis on 4/17/2009 at 3:15 am

    Even as a guy, I find Ono Daisuke just…too hot. lol. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t swing that way. I like Mizuki Nana, Itou Shizuka, Kobayashi Yuu, etc. Still, Ono D is just…He is like, what every guy wants to be, he has an awesome voice, he’s funny and he looks so damn cool. (Or well, depending on the choice of words, creepy. Creepy in a good way.)

  11. KATZE on 4/17/2009 at 1:23 pm

    gife that kobyashi nao!

  12. sentinel011 on 4/17/2009 at 6:37 pm

    I detect fake Nana cleavage.

    Park Romi looks like how Nana would age. I hope. Minus Romi’s frontal heft, of course. 8)

  13. moyism on 4/20/2009 at 12:40 am

    animemiz, yep and I cry everytime I see the bill. For Tomokazu Seki, you’re thinking Ippo which I’m watching and totally forgot about. Then again, I was thinking he hasn’t been in any lead roles in awhile. For Megumi Hayashibara, I only kid ^^;; And for the cost, yea Nana Mizuki related buys REALLY kills me financially!

    danie, just ordered my 2nd copy for the posters ^^;; And sucks to hear about your bend posters; let me know it goes with framing! Also thanks for clearing that Nana VA’ing part as well!

    omo, LOL yea maybe that’s it.

    Deathy, only if I had time, a better scan, and actual photoshop skills.

    omgwtfbbq, like I said I tried but ultimately failed ^^;;

    Zeroblade, go router go! And yea I guess it’s good most of these seiyuus age well? Then again, I guess that’s why they’re still in these type of magazines huh?

    abao, it’s my goal to get other fans to suffer like me by doing this!

    Eri-sama, hahaha thanks

    Nis, LOL thanks now I don’t feel so GAR about liking him as well O_o

    KATZE, heh I think if you search around there are a few good scans of the magazine including kobyashi’s

    sentinel011, a Nana-chan fan can dream right LOL?
