KAMI VOICE ~Voice Makes a Miracle~

Kami Voice ~Voice makes miracles~, a Japanese drama who will tell you all about seiyuu (Japanese voice acting), and of course, the actors here are a seiyuu.

Summary: Discovering their voices changed teenagers Yuu Shiraike (Yuki kaji) and Tatsuma Kubodera (Wataru Hatano)’s lives as the two are then on their way to stardom in the entertainment industry in becoming voice actors. Their super popular anime “RIVALIS”, has hundred and thousand viewers and fans from all over the world. However, due to an accident, both of them resign all of a sudden, and disappear from the voice acting world. Yuu ends up taking over as a teacher at a small voice acting academy, only to meet a bunch of unique but quirky students! In the process of granting their wishes to become good voice actors, it will also lead both Yuu and Tatsuma through a journey of self-discovery.

This drama adapted from a manga written by Yoshiki Sakurai and Team G.V and published by Kodansha in Monthly Shounen Rival Magazine. The main actors, Yuki Kaji as Yuu Shiraike and Wataru Hatano as Tatsuma Kubodera. Of course there are a lots of other seiyuu too, such as Roko Takizawa, Masako Nozawa, Keaton Yamada, Shigeru Chiba, Michio Hazama, Rikiya Koyama, Kouichi Yamadera, Mamoru Miyano, Hosoya Yoshimasa, Mayumi Tanaka, Morikubo Shoutarou, Namikawa Daisuke, Park Romi, Kamiya Hiroshi etc.

We can see another side of seiyuu in this drama. Coz we just know seiyuu (voice actor) do their works behind the scene, but this time, we can see them as the real actor. Same acting, but actually hard to act like the real actor, coz they have to express it properly with such expression and gestures. Even some of them were experienced act as actors like Mamoru Miyano or Watano Hataru.

I watched this drama over and over again. It always reminds me the spirit of learning about voice acting, and I’m impressed by it once again. I felt like I want to explore and learn about seiyuu, more and more, never enough for me, haha. I also learnt many things from this drama, and how to train myself in voice acting.
