–What do you like about Diasomnia?
“The feeling of family. I think Diasomnia is like a family. That’s exactly why they have such a big influence on Silver’s growth.
From my point of view, it’s like a father, an older brother, and two youngest children of the same age.
Malleus is the older brother, Lilia is the father, and Sebek is in the same position as Silver. For Silver, Malleus-sama is, of course, the master he should serve, but he’s also like an older brother, not quite to the level of a father.
Because of that, in Main Story Chapter 7, Part 2, when Silver was able to cry that much and pour out his feelings, I think if the person there hadn’t been Malleus, who holds that older-brother position, it wouldn’t have turned out that way.
Having spent all that time together with Malleus, I think Silver knew that he could share with him his feelings toward his father, and the loneliness of having to leave (school). That’s probably why his true feelings came out only in front of Malleus. Well…the ‘older brother’ who took in too much of those feelings ended up in quite a situation, though.
–What do you like about Twisted Wonderland?
As a voice actor, what I really like about Twisted Wonderland is that everyone connected to it clearly loves the project. Because of that love, I think aspects like how interesting the story is, the beauty of the illustrations, the wonderful music, and even the well-executed promotional activities really shine.
At the Twisted Wonderland Fes event I could feel that affection from the things the other voice cast members talked about. It really made me think, ‘What a truly happy project this is.”
–What left the biggest impression on you during the event?
In the dressing room, a Stitch plush popped out of Midorikawa-san’s (Lilia) bag. He told us, ‘Lately I’ve been constantly taking photos with him,’ and it was really memorable to see that the dressing room itself was overflowing with love.
The seats were divided by dorm, so when all of us from the Diasomnia dorm surrounded Stitch saying, ‘He’s so cute~!,’ Shoutan (Shouta Aoi-san), whose seat was next to ours because he’s from Ignihyde, joined in and got really excited with us.
Then, with Stitch sitting on Midorikawa-san’s shoulder, they took a photo together. At the time, Shoutan had blue highlights in his hair, as if he had been inspired by Stitch, and I thought, ‘How perfect!’
Midorikawa-san painted his nails for the first time in his life (for the event), inspired by Lilia. He said he had painted them at home the day before Twst Fes, but apparently he kept saying things like, ‘I can’t do anything! The polish will smudge!! What should I do!!’ and had a tough time until they dried. It was really fun to hear everyone’s behind-the-scenes stories like that in the dressing room.
