by NHK’s children’s program “Hirogare! Irotoridori” mascot character, the anime “Ao and Kii” featuring the water fairy Ao and the light fairy Kii will be broadcast. Blue auditors Ryunosuke Kamiki, the Kii role Fumi Nikaido, a colorful role Shigeru Chiba play, is on-air every day at 9:00 NHK E tele over the 13 days from August 11.
The anime “Ao to Kii” is broadcast as the prominent corner of the SDGs program “Aokiiro” for children. The 5-minute program “Aokiiro” is an SDGs educational program for young children, consisting of a hub for observing natural patterns in addition to animation and a hub for introducing SDGs karuta works that children have thought of. Kamiki said, “I want you to live freely, at your own pace, without overdoing it, even if you are fast. It is crucial to discover what I have and that I am now involved in this program at the age of 28. ” Nikaido said about Ao and Kii, “Like the relationship between Mr. Kamiki and me, they have something that they don’t have, and it makes me realize that it is their individuality, and Mr. Kamiki also acknowledges my individuality. Every time I see you, I feel that it is happening, so I think that will be reflected in the relationship between Ao and Kii. “
Comment from Ryunosuke Kamiki (role of Ao)
I think Ao is a gentle character, so I speak slowly in a soft tone. I play while keeping the pitch and style of the last minute, conscious of the high voice that does not make me feel uncomfortable even with the key. On the other hand, I think that Kii has a very Nikaido-san feeling of atmosphere. When you are around Nikaido-san, everyone gets well with Nikaido-san’s power, and I believe both have the same amount of energy and are perfect.
Through the animation, I hope that children will think that there are many beautiful things in this world and beautiful flowers when they stop and look around. I want you to live freely, without rushing like Ao, at your own pace, and without overdoing it even if your surroundings are fast. I feel that it’s essential to discover something that I missed or didn’t notice even though I went there once, and now I’m 28 years old, and I’m involved in this program.
Comment from Fumi Nikaido (role of Kii)
The animation key is a lively, comical, and energetic character, so I played it so that the moving figure of the key and my voice would be assimilated so as not to lose to the picture. There is a story in Ao and Kii in the animation that has different opinions that this way is good at the fork, so let’s compete. Still, the conversation between the two is charming, and each other respects each other and loves each other. Each has its speed and stride, and sometimes it is a message that stopping and observing slowly expands my world, and it is beautiful to see each other positively accepting each other.
Ao and Kii are entirely different characters, and I think that’s very good. It makes me realize that I have something not in each other, as my relationship with Mr. Kamiki and my personality. I see that Mr. Kamiki also recognizes my nature. I feel it every time, so I think that will be reflected in the relationship between Ao and Kii.
