One more!



高山みなみ/バーロ, 御誕生日おめでとうございます!

Happy belated Birthday (may 5) to Minami Takayama!~

The fans call her "Baro", which seems to be from her character Detective Conan, or they are just quoting what Conan says.

She is such an idol if I've ever seen one. Alright, Minami in the two-man band TWO-MIX, and her vocals just gets me in a good mood. Probably one of my favorite videos on Nico Douga is a music video with a dance song of TWO-MIX's "MEETING ON THE PLANET" with roller coaster footage! !

Because it is almost June, I can't help but think of Amusement Parks and SUMMER! It's just a good combo.

I don't think TWO-MIX do live concerts.

As for animation, she does so voice over and dubbing work. Well known for playing women and short boys.

here we go!

1.) Rhythm Emotion (Orchestra Version??). I'd be upset if this is removed.

2.) MEETING ON THE PLANET (now imagine this with something you like to do...)

3.) Character: Mushra (boy hero)

4.) LET'S GET HER AUTOGRAPH!

5.) Hero boy YAIBA. Tried to find a ep that didn't seem too spoilerish.

Ok

Nighty!

Baro comes from Conan's famous slur of "Baka yarou" in referring to Ran's dad under his breath. I think my favorite role of hers was Nabiki from Ranma. Her voice just sounds naturally sarcastic, and I'm pretty impressed with how she can have the same inflections as Conan, but sound different just by not making her enunciation as sharp and by lowering her voice so very little. You can recognize it as the same seiyuu (which is intentionally a large part of the joke of those episodes--she was married to the manga artist, too...) but if you're not looking at the screen you can still tell who's talking every time.

Thanks for the clips! Good trip down memory lane. I should dig out some Two Mix songs.

Ah-ha, so that's where it's from!

TWo-MIX: Please do. You'll hear plenty from Gundam Wing and Conan, and I think she sings on "Detectice Kenichi"?? Probably the wrong title. She also has a song for Kyo kara maoh.

Yep she's Kiki.

In the past, there seem to have been this pattern in employing popular "voice overs" (ie: Tanaka Mayumi as Pazu, Takayama as Kiki, Sakamoto Chika as May) in older Ghibi/Miyazaki movies more, compared to now.
