Heavy research and workload have waned my interest in the Minami-ke trilogy over the past several months. I finished the first season, nearly wrapped up Okawari and barely touched Okaeri…and I wasn’t motivated to continue at all until I stumbled upon this old video (which nagged me further that I have an even bigger backlog when it comes to Minakike, their radio series orz).
The clip is from “Denwa Kara Minakike”, a corner on Minakike where listeners can call in to the radio broadcast and have a (casual) conversation with one of the 3 seiyuu (Satou Rina, Inoue Marina and Chihara Minori) depending on who’s in charge for that episode, and at the same time, it provides an opportunity for the seiyuu to promote their series.
I wonder if Michael really did make a wrong phone call to them. And if he did, wonder what he thinks of the girl he just had a conversation with lol. Well done anyway, Inoue.
Here’s a rough translation of some of the text that weren’t translated in the video (Based on what I heard and interpreted instead of what was displayed on the screen so if there’s any mistake, do correct me! ^^).
1:09 – There’s an Anime I’d like to introduce you to.
1:15 – Interactive (though she probably meant to say “introduce”, or something along that line)
1:48 – Channel 6
1:58 – Ehh… For more details, um, you can go to the Minami-ke homepage.
2:02 – Yes, there’s a homepage.
2:04 – Please… Please check it.
2:31 – Keikenchi Joushouchuu☆ (In the Midst of Gaining EXP☆)
2:49 – The Opening Theme’s CD will go on sale starting on 24 (October 2007).
3:01 – Please do listen to it.
Sigh… This is an example of why minorhythm and Ga-Rei Radio are my guilty pleasures -> Minorin’s excessive giggling strangely amuses me. >_>
Btw, if you haven’t listened to Noto Mamiko’s attempt at English yet, chekkushite kudasai.
Right, it’s time to marathon the rest of Minami-ke.
Nice post :D! So fun to listen to seiyuu’s try to speak english (engrish more like it), hehe. Gjob Inoue!!
I watched one where Inoue compares herself to Kana, LOL so funny.
and ahaha the mamio and ayako one… gawsh. “Ayako.. LOVE!” LOOOOOOL could not stop laughing.
I should finish minami-ke okaeri… hmm…. only got up to episode 6… First season is still best. Teardrop mouths!!
1st season for me too. Okawari didn’t cut it that much for me, maybe because of Fuyuki. I find him kind of…annoying for some inexplicable reason. >_>
Oh, that video of Inoue… Was it the Minami-ke Starchild Collection event one where she said she dropped her mobile phone into the toilet bowl? LOL that was funny. XD
O gosh….. Fuyuki is actually on my anime character hate list. And that list ain’t long xD waste of airtime the no-confidence boy -.-” i swear if they showed him staying and have him as like love interest for chiaki, I would shot myself.
And yeshhhhh the the m-k starchild collection vids!! LOL “look! i dropped my phone in the toilet!” ahaha inoue is so funny xD sounded exactly like kana when she says it too, ahh *wipes away tear* and when she’s like she doesn’t want to be kana coz ppl will her her “dumbass” XD!!
I think that’s what annoyed me as well. Chiaki had a good reason to tell him off for his constant lack of confidence. I haven’t started Okaeri as of late but I hope he doesn’t appear there. >_>
LOL Inoue. First she said she resembles Kana, then quickly objects to playing the role in a live action version of Minami-ke. :p
