[04:20] Koji
I was looking forward to it,
[04:23] Koji
and when you actually are
present, and things are happening,
[04:26] Koji
the process itself can be fun.
[04:28] Koji
And it's been a while
since I got to enjoy that.
[04:31] Koji
Well, our lead actress tends to get a lot
of amusement out of a variety of things,
[04:37] Koji
so I didn't have much to worry about there.
[04:41] Koji
If anything, I was more concerned with
how to depict Tamura World effectively.
[04:46] Koji
That was more of a concern.
[04:48] Koji
I think it was sort of a back-and-forth
about how best to use her performance,
[04:52] Koji
whenever the ball was in my possession...
[04:55] Koji
She handled the music for the episode, too.
[04:59] Koji
And even that back-and-forth
process is enjoyable.
[05:01] Koji
You get these chemical reactions that
come from someone else's take on things,
[05:06] Koji
and the changes that can result
from that are really interesting.
[05:09] Koji
It makes me realize these
projects have a life of their own.
[05:13] Koji
It's about when to pull back,
and when to go deeper.
SIGN Project Producer
Hatanaka Taichi
[05:17] Koji
I was watching with those things in mind.
[05:20] Tamura
It was just a lot of fun.
[05:22] Tamura
The thing is... when it comes to Ekoda-chan,
[05:27] Tamura
I feel like I understand her a lot.
[05:30] Tamura
Like, I get Ekoda-chan.
[05:33] Tamura
When the subject first came up
with Director Morimoto,
[05:37] Tamura
I told him, "I get Ekoda-chan."
[05:39] Tamura
So I was grateful for the chance
to become her today.
[05:48] Tamura
And I got to say the kind of things
that you wouldn't normally say
[05:53] Tamura
in front of so many people,
and that was liberating.
[05:57] Koji
A bit of dirty talk!
[05:58] Tamura
Yeah, really!
[05:59] Tamura
That was a ton of fun.
[06:01] Koji
Like light S&M.
[06:03] Tamura
It felt great.
[06:05] Tamura
At one point I got a little dazed,
because I had been shouting so much.
[06:09] Koji
Sorry about that.
[06:10] Taichi
That is a scene with a lot of shouting!
[06:12] Koji
That's true.
[06:12] Tamura
Really.
[06:14] Koji
They're not the kind
of things you'd usually say.
[06:15] Tamura
Right, exactly.
[06:17] Tamura
They're... I imagine voice
actors have a lot of fun.
[06:20] Koji
Right, they get to say things
they normally never would.
[06:21] Tamura
And it's like an everyday thing.
[06:24] Koji
It's a bit like playing pretend.
[06:26] Tamura
Right.
[06:27] Tamura
It's really fun.
[06:28] Tamura
I mean, it's a scene that wouldn't be
out of place in a normal life,
[06:32] Tamura
but the words aren't yours.
[06:35] Tamura
They're not even what you would think,
[06:39] Tamura
but in a situation that
you would be in, I guess.
[06:42] Tamura
That's really interesting.
[06:44] Koji
One thing...
[06:45] Koji
So you don't have the same
kind of life as Ekoda-chan?
[06:49] Tamura
Not this part, no!
[06:51] Tamura
Not that.
[06:54] Tamura
I don't ever flash anyone, but...
in terms of watching TV?
[06:59] Koji
Right, right.

[07:19] Koji
All the voice actresses are different,

[07:23] Koji

[07:25] Koji

To be honest, when we told you that
you could do whatever you wanted...
[07:38] Taichi
The first thing you came up with—
[07:39] Koji
Well, there were too many
things I wasn't allowed to do.
[07:42] Koji
I was a bit disappointed!
[07:44] Koji
I was like, "What the heck? But you said..."
[07:45] Taichi

That's what I think. So it looks
unnatural if they're not there.
[08:14] Koji
But y'know, that's the kind of
thing that's part of the process.
[08:17] Koji
It can be kind of a drag.
[08:18] Tamura
It was so funny.

[08:21] Tamura
Like, where the line is drawn?
That's interesting.

Well, really just Hatanaka-san.

[08:39] Tamura
But the first person who says no,
[08:41] Koji
Right. But, y'know...
[08:41] Tamura
I think that probably means that it's
fundamentally a problem on some level, right?
[08:45] Taichi
Exactly.
[08:46] Koji
I mean, maybe it's not socially acceptable.
[08:48] Tamura
For anime.
[08:49] Koji
But this is on late at night.
[08:51] Tamura
Right! I get what you mean.
[08:51] Koji
That's the thing! I'd understand
if it was on during prime time...
[08:55] Tamura
That totally makes sense.
[08:56] Koji
Right?
[08:57] Koji
I mean, kids might see it then...
[09:01] Koji
But when it's a time slot
that's on late at night,
[09:04] Tamura
Right.
[09:04] Koji
it's not like elementary school
kids are going to be watching.
[09:06] Tamura
But I think, with really little kids,
they'd probably still be close to their moms.
[09:12] Tamura
So I doubt they'd end up seeing it anyway.

At first, there's no sound or anything...
[10:40] Tamura
Just a script, so you think
of all the ways it could go.
[10:46] Tamura
It sort of feels otherworldly in a way,
[10:51] Tamura
but it gradually becomes more tangible,
[10:54] Tamura
and something about the normal stuff...
[10:56] Tamura

stories and commonplace stories
[11:00] Tamura
are connected by certain things.

And that the things they have in

It's the kind of thing, as an elementary schooler, where you have to break out the dictionary...

[11:42] Tamura
Right, right.
[11:44] Tamura
I think that most of the time,
you say that in particular...
[11:49] Tamura
And it comes out more relaxed.
Whenever you talk about pubic hair.
[11:51] Koji
Right.
[11:52] Tamura

[12:47] Tamura
So young! Wow.
[12:50] Koji
I think I preferred being with
someone to being alone, essentially.
[12:55] Koji
I've got a real craving
for affection, I think,
[12:59] Koji
and I think as a result of that,
I've never felt a lot of profound loneliness.
[13:04] Tamura
Because you know you don't
want to be lonely, you avoid it?
[13:06] Koji
Right, right.
[13:07] Koji
Sort of the opposite of what you'd expect.
[13:08] Tamura
That's an interesting way to turn out.
[13:09] Koji
I really cherished my friendships,
for example,
[13:14] Koji
or maybe that I just pursued
them aggressively.
[13:20] Koji
But even when I was on my own,
when I moved to Tokyo for example,
[13:25] Koji
I didn't really feel that lonely.
[13:29] Koji
That might not make a lot of sense.
[13:32] Koji
And I don't really understand it all myself,
[13:35] Koji
but I think I wasn't really
in a rush when I was 24.
[13:39] Koji
This was something we discussed earlier,
because of how the episode opens.
[13:44] Koji
I didn't ever have that feeling
of getting left behind.
[13:49] Tamura
Yours was more, "I'm only 24."
[13:50] Koji
Plenty of time.
[13:52] Tamura
Positive thinking!
[13:53] Koji
Right, right!
[13:54] Koji
Realizing that, "Oh, I guess some people
feel a lot of pressure around then."
[13:59] Koji
I think maybe women are
under more stress about it.
[14:01] Koji
I don't think men really experience
the same expectations... not that I'm sure.
[14:05] Koji
I mean, maybe in regards to employment.
[14:08] Tamura
Right, got to get a job.
[14:08] Koji
But other than that? 24 isn't much.
[14:12] Tamura
I was... I think two years since
I was out from university.
[14:19] Tamura
I wasn't even Tamurapan at the time, yet.
[14:23] Koji
Really?
[14:24] Tamura
I think so. Maybe I was on the
verge of discovering that identity...
[14:28] Tamura
Like I could feel it coming on.
[14:29] Koji
Maybe just the "Tamu" part.
[14:32] Tamura
Just the "Tamu."
[14:34] Koji
The "Rapan" part hadn't emerged yet.
[14:34] Tamura
Right. Not quite the full Tamurapan yet.
[14:37] Tamura
Sort of like I was still growing into myself.
[14:45] Tamura
I wonder... In terms of how lonely I felt,
[14:52] Tamura
I think I would say I'm more...
[14:56] Tamura
I'm one of those people who feels
lonelier the more people they deal with?
[15:02] Koji
Right, right.
[15:02] Tamura
Like, if you see someone, that's fine,
but even when there are people around...
[15:10] Tamura
You start thinking about how
it is when they're not around.
[15:12] Koji
You pull away mentally.
[15:13] Tamura
Right, you pull yourself
further and further out!
[15:16] Tamura
I think that's how I was at
the time, when I was 24.
[15:21] Tamura

Right, you've got a point.
[16:58] Koji
I decided I wanted to be an
animator in high school.
[17:00] Koji
And in that sense, I never
really faltered, so maybe...
[17:06] Koji
Since I never really had to worry about
things that didn't work out in the end.
[17:12] Tamura
Oh, right. That's true.
[17:15] Tamura
Not having a right fit...
[17:15] Koji
I think that maybe it has to do with
having a lot of potential interests.
[17:21] Koji
It means there there are lots of lives
where you might end up like that.
[17:25] Koji
Like, "What if I had become a florist?"
[17:28] Koji
"What would have happened
if I became a baker?" and such.
[17:31] Koji
You do always have that
curiosity where you wonder
[17:34] Koji
about how you'd end up
in different circumstances.
[17:36] Koji
I think everybody does.
[17:39] Koji
Especially if you've already
settled into one choice.
[17:39] Tamura
Right.
[17:41] Koji
You end up wondering what it would've
been like doing something else.
[17:44] Koji
That's part of it, I think.
[17:47] Tamura
I think Ekoda-chan's...
psychology, I guess you'd call it,
[17:52] Tamura
I wouldn't want that.
[17:53] Koji
It'd definitely be hard.
[17:56] Taichi
And painful, even.
[17:56] Tamura
It would.
[17:57] Tamura
It might be hard to withstand.
[17:58] Koji
Not the kind of thing you'd
want to play around with.
SIGN What makes Rinshi!! Ekoda-chan unique?
[18:06] Koji
The different directors, for each episode...
SIGN Morimoto Koji x Tamurapan
SIGN Differences with other anime
[18:06] Censor Bar
Morimoto Koji
[18:10] Koji
Plus the different actresses for the
lead role. And different art styles.
[18:14] Koji
I don't think there's ever been an anime
like that, and it's pretty interesting.
[18:19] Tamura
I think that with most anime,
[18:21] Tamura
there's a sort of destination in mind.
[18:28] Tamura
And because of that sort of security,
[18:30] Tamura
you can watch all the trials and tribulations.
[18:33] Tamura
Like how a character from Chibi
Maruko can walk three thousand miles.
[18:36] Koji
Because she won't die.
[18:37] Tamura
Right, definitely!
[18:38] Taichi
Since she's got the goal of
meeting her mom or whatever.
[18:39] Tamura
Exactly.
[18:40] Koji
And you're not going to see a story where
she dies right before the finish line.
[18:44] Tamura
In comparison, Ekoda-chan...
[18:46] Tamura
You can't tell what'll happen, and that's...
SIGN Ekoda-chan doesn't have a goal
[18:46] ---
Morimoto Koji
[18:50] Tamura
And that's kind of strange, for anime, I think.
[18:53] Koji
True.
[18:56] Koji
You get the feeling she's kind
of wandering the wasteland.
[18:57] Tamura
Right.
[18:58] Taichi
She's got no goal, is the thing.
Ekoda-chan doesn't have an ultimate goal.
[19:01] Tamura
And isn't that kind of terrifying?
[19:04] Koji
But a good thing about that is
it makes her really flexible.
[19:06] Tamura
You mean she can adapt?
[19:08] Koji
I think part of it is she has
to be, because it's funny.
[19:13] Tamura
Like, she wouldn't manage otherwise?
[19:14] Koji
I think that's how the world is.
But even then, she is awkward at times.
[19:17] Koji
Or maybe more like... she's got
certain things she won't budge on.
[19:21] Koji
Her own sort of code.
[19:24] Koji
And that's part of what's
interesting about her.

Morimoto Koji
SIGN The appeal of Ekoda-chan
[19:26] Koji
Well, I am a man, and so...
[19:29] Koji
I think that you'd need to
be a woman to get a full grasp
[19:32] Koji
of what's truly great about Ekoda-chan.
[19:36] Koji
But I think... I think a man's idea of...
[19:41] Koji
How do I put this? There's
the femininity that men think of,
[19:44] Koji
and the femininity that women experience.
[19:47] Koji
And the manga really gets across
that idea of, "Oh, that's how it is?"
[19:52] Koji
And I think that reading about
that is really interesting,
[19:56] Koji
and helps you get a glimpse of something
you'd never encounter otherwise.
[20:01] Koji
I think part of it is a lot of the adaptations
I've worked have been by male creators,
[20:07] Koji
so doing one drawn by a woman...
[20:11] Koji
Is something that I think maybe helped me
do something different from my usual work.
[20:18] Tamura
I wonder if you'd call it love?
There's this certain love...
[20:23] Tamura
Or maybe the emotion is more like sympathy.
[20:27] Tamura
Or that the love is for the setting instead...
[20:31] Tamura
That love... or maybe it's
a different emotion entirely.
[20:36] Koji
There are a lot of different kinds of love.
[20:38] Tamura
I'd say so! She does have her love affairs.
[20:41] Koji
I see.
[20:42] Koji
You see the love affairs she has.
[20:44] Koji
But... I think there's also this...
[20:44] Koji
Right.
[20:48] Tamura
You can see how deep her love goes.
[20:52] Tamura
That was something I thought
from the first moment I saw her.
[20:54] Koji
True.
[20:56] Koji
Well, now that we've recorded the voices today,
and it's starting to come together.
SIGN Thoughts on Today
[20:57] ---
Morimoto Koji
[21:03] Koji
But there's still animation to do,
[21:06] Koji
so I'm going to keep working.
[21:08] Koji
And with that in mind, well,
this gave me a few ideas, too.
[21:13] Koji
So I think I'm going to come out
of this with a few upgrades.
[21:18] Koji
And then you'll see those in
the final product. I hope you like it.
[21:22] Tamura
It really was a lot of fun,
[21:26] Tamura
and that... working with the director today,
[21:31] Tamura
the thought of that adding
even more to the final version
[21:34] Tamura
seems like it'd be really interesting.
[21:37] Tamura
So that, this day in Ekoda-chan's life...
[21:41] Tamura
Was kinda... the feeling that it
was born out of our own lives,
[21:48] Tamura
I think that's something to be glad about.
[21:51] Tamura
It feels like we helped bring something
to life, and that's a real treat.
[21:56] Taichi
Thanks for coming.
[21:57] Tamura
Of course.
