Once again I bring to you another report on the voice recording sessions for NieR:Automata. Hello, I’m the producer, Saito Yosuke.

Next we’d like to take a little peek into the recording studio to see Ishikawa Yui, who plays 2B, the heroine and main character in NieR:Automata. This is a slightly different recording studio than what we previously showed in the post with Hanae Natsuki (9S), but it’s still part of the main studio.

First of all, Ishikawa hardly had time to catch her breath once she reached the office when director Yoko Taro approached her for a brief meeting. What the heck is he doing in this photo? Maybe he’s covering his eyes like 2B because they’re talking about some secret!? …hmm, that can’t be it.

As you can see in the photo above, there’s a small screen in the recording booth she can use to give the proper timing to her lines. There’s a lot of action scenes that make it difficult to get the timing right, but Ishikawa is such a pro, she was able to get through it all at warp speed. Oh, you can sort of see 2B’s face there, too…

Here she was beginning to read a rather intense scene. I can’t believe that 2B gets %&*#!&… Aaaaaaaaaahhh… You really get the sense that the doors into the “World of Yoko Taro” have been opened wide. But don’t let that fool you—we’re going to have a happy ending! Honestly, there’s nothing to worry about!

Well, that’s all for the recordings today (it actually took a long time).
