Interview with Toy Story 5 Voice Actors

♪♪♪

A cute and friendly toy digital camera,

Tsunappy, played by Nana Hinogami of Nogizaka46.

A cheerful and reliable digital pop toy,

Asolas, played by Kumiri Matsui of Denwa Roman.

Now, please move over to the interview area.

Thank you.

First, let me ask you.

Since you played characters in Toy Story 5 this time,

what are your thoughts on the characters you played,

and what parts do you feel are similar to yourselves?

The toy Atlas that I played

is originally a map toy,

but because it's a map, there are some very important scenes,

and he's a reliable character.

He is reliable,

but he also has a bit of a playful side,

which makes for a really great balance.

He's like a best friend kind of character.

As for what we have in common,

it's definitely being able to remember directions.

I think that's where we're alike.

I'm really good at remembering maps.

Sense of direction.

I have a good sense of direction.

The character Snappy that I played

is very cute and cares deeply about her friends.

She has a pure and straightforward,

child-like perspective, I think.

While doing the voiceover, it really made me feel nostalgic for my childhood, but

as for what Snappy and I have in common,

there actually aren't that many.

I'm not really as bubbly and cheerful as Snappy,

so I thought there might not be much.

But if there's one thing,

since I belong to the group Nogizaka46,

my feelings for my fellow members

are second to none,

so in that sense, I think I'm like Snappy.

I believe the two of you performed together in the recording studio,

what were your impressions of each other,

and do you have any behind-the-scenes stories?

You were incredibly good,

I could say the exact same to you.

I was really amazed.

Also, what else was there…

Perhaps because of his character, Snappy,

he often had a camera behind the scenes,

and as part of one of the campaigns,

he took a lot of photos of me.

When we started that campaign,

it was just Inoue-san and me at the studio,

so I think he was handed a camera and told to take lots of photos,

but I felt bad because there was no one else to take photos of but me.

He was like my personal photographer,

and he was so kind.

No matter how many photos I took,

he always made such lovely expressions,

so there are tons of photos I want people to see.

I'd really love to share them with everyone.

Please do.

Just one last question.

Lukey is such an outstanding character, isn't he?

A dependable young master, I believe.

Do you two have someone dependable like that in your lives?

Hmm, someone dependable…

For me, it would be my wife.

If she weren't around, I wouldn't even be able to eat,

so for the meals,

and also for taking care of the house, thank you so much as always.

That's how it is.

Someone dependable?

Let's see…

For me, it has to be our group's captain.

Our captain is currently Satsuki Sugawara, who is my peer,

but she was just appointed this May,

so it's only been about one or two months.

Even so, as her peer, I'm so proud of her,

and I think she's really dependable.

Thank you very much.
