The emcee was Don Maccau, and the guest was Toyoshima Machiko. I went to this event after the Sotsugyou Vacation event, so I was pretty much in the back, and could only see the heads and upper bodies of the people on stage. They made everyone stand in the booth, instead of sitting down.. Machiko came out. [I forgot what Machiko was wearing.] Don talked about how bad Machiko was at voice acting when she first started. Then a bit later, there was a rumor going around that she had gotten better.. but Don found out that it was Machiko who had started that rumor. Questions --------- There were some questions for Machiko. Q: Why did you become a seiyuu? Machiko: Because I liked anime like Gundam and Nausicaa. Q: Which seiyuu do you admire? Machiko: Toda Keiko. Q: Were there times when you felt like you wanted to quit? Machiko: Many times! Q: Which stars do you like? Machiko: SMAP. Q: Do you want to get married? Machiko: Of course! Q: When? Machiko: Around 30.. but there are many seiyuu who aren't married. I'm worried. They are so nice and cute, but they aren't married. Q: Who? Machiko: Usagi-chan.. Q: Who else? Machiko: Ami-chan. Q: Are you lying about your age? Machiko: No. Q: Do you want to work forever? Machiko: Yes. Then Don mentioned that Machiko spoke French on the Girls Be CD, and even played the piano herself. Machiko said that it was very difficult. She even went back home (to her parents' house) and practiced the piano. Kaitou Ranma ------------ Then they talked a little bit about the game Kaitou Ranma, that was coming out next spring. mini drama ---------- Don and Machiko did a mini drama together. talk ---- Then Machiko started eating some snacks. She ate a piece. Then Don gave two little pieces (that Machiko cut) to people in the crowd.. Don chose the "gaijin" for one piece. Presents -------- They gave away some presents, including a Kaitou Ranma demo CD-ROM. -- Hitoshi Doi Toshi Nibunnoichi half a UFO catcher doll, half a cel 801 tactical training squadron http://www.win.or.jp/~doi/ doi@win.or.jp
