[EngSub] Irino Miyu about his role Haku

I only own the sub of this video.

This just shows how underrated of a voice actor he is despite being in the industry for so long, and having a lot of famous and prominent roles! I have friends who are seiyuu fans as well and whenever I ask them if they know who Irino Miyu is, it's either they don't or they only know him as Haku despite having watched A Silent Voice, AnoHana, Haikyuu!!, Eyeshield 21, and much more.

I couldn't agree more. It's really sad. On one hand this shows that he's really a versatile actor, that ppl don't recognize his voice easily bc of his natural voice acting and he doesn't "overshadow" his characters, if you know what I mean. Even I, who has been following him for many years, have a hard time telling that it's him sometimes. But on the other hand, I really wish for him to have more recognition and appreciation beyond his role in Spirited Away. Besides, he was so young back than and his voice and acting were totally different.

I've had the exact same experience 😔 I don't enjoy talking to western seiyuu fans because most of them have no idea who he is despite knowing all the big anime you mentioned, which is baffling tbh. But as DTL said, it also is a testament to his versatility, and I admire him for that. 💖

I always thinking that probably it's bc he is somehow not always focused in seiyuu industry, sometimes he take a break to do other thing like stage acting or just study aboard for example in 2013 and 2016 . . . I also notice that he didn't do much gaming job . . . I'm pretty sure he will easily become more popular if he voiced A3, idolish, or something like that his singing and dancing skill is probably one of the best in seiyuu industry well I think this is just his choice to do what he want . . . he is free spirited person just like his name

@@kolapsg7748 Very good point! He has always regarded himself more of an artist, active in various fields. And even though I wished he got more recognition as a seiyuu I also feel that he's quite content the way it is. As you said, it's his choice. And you're absolutely right here too, he's a great singer and performer!

He also has the face of a top tier idol like seriously tho, dude is so talented and also handsome af. Him playing Ishida Shoya is probably one of if not the best voice performance i've ever seen in anything, i litteraly just pull one of the Genshin character just because that one is voiced by him lol.

[@ryomagaaracielfai]

This makes me want to watch Spirited Away once again just to hear his voice.

i love Miyu's description, "it's a role that could replace a namecard even overseas (and i finally realise it now)" 😂 It's really true!!

[@dtl6847]

Yes, that what he said literally (I translated it differently for a smoother expression). It's great but also sad at the same time, that he's only known as Haku.

これは最高ですし、好きですし、千と千尋の神隠しのキャラクターも最高ですし、好きですし、ハク竜も最高ですし、好きですし、竜の特徴が顔が犬で胴体が蛇で前足と後ろ足が鳥なのが好きですし、最高です。

And 2001 is the year I was born. So, please get married (although Miyu is married).

[@kolapsg7748]
