Interview with Yui Makino @ NYAF 2009 - FUNimation Channel

[Sonicvania]

I remember that room, having met her briefly there, I have to say she is truly divine at singing. (goes off to buy her latest CDs)

[SummonTheNight]

It's Misaki! @_@ I recognized that unique 'watashi' immediately.

[kei0kusanagi]

Yui Makino is soooo freakin cute!!! Love her calm voice, NHK ni Yokoso!! Misaki Nakahara!!!

[KKbook]

OMGOMGOMG. if she comes to NYAF again, I am SO driving for 4 hours to watch <3

[clokwize]

her voice makes me feel woozy

[kittygrygrl]

and she said things about more tsubasa acting. the last OVA came out in may 09 (around there) and if she still gets to act as sakura, does that mean another tsubasa OVA is coming out!! IM SOOO EXCITED NOW!! CANT WAIT FOR IT!! (lolz, go caps lock!)

[bambi7502]

yes tsubasa chronicles!!!!! and recently i just found out angel beats too!! i love both of those!

[YuseiFudoProduction]

she plays lots of song from animes like naruto shippuden bleach and other animes

[kittygrygrl]

@YuseiFudoProduction

I think your mistaken there. theres nother artist that goes by the name YUI that does those, Yui Makino hasn't done any music for them.

[FantasyChibimoon]

LOVE <3

[Xendmust]

[plusle96]

[Hikaru15323]

[shaneh87]

I love her.I have one of her albums and love listening to it.

[Xendmust]

i would love to live in japan when i turn 25

[Animegothvampfreak]

I would like to visit their mostly first for a while and then maybe if i like it a lot i would move there. ^^

[Koolag1]

I always think of the characters she has voiced but forget that she is a pianist of outstanding quality.

[matman125]

Very nice!

I would love to listen to her music.

[guyaddictive]

she's pretty in person^_^

[baigeneo]

I'm so jealous of anyone who got to meet her. D:

[Hagane10]

her voice is awesome... n.n

[sloththemighty]

MY word, you lot could benefit from the Spell Check function in Firefox.

But any ways, that's an adorable gal.

[gamerscave]

[stealfz]

No ways, that Yui is way more better!

[Moonstar026]

Yeah i think thats her who sings agian.

[cpluvr4ever]

I MISSED IT!! I hate being such a poor anime fan!!!

[xXxsakura87xXx]

same! i hate being too poor to go to anime cons

[sakurachan777]

yeah i think alot of people that go are like somewhat rich or filthy rich :/

[zendro]

Be happy you ain't an ASIAN anime fan

Try dealing with THAT

[cpluvr4ever]

Lol Yeah that would be pretty bad!

[zendro]

That WOULD be? Lol..Dude...You have no idea >_> (I'm an Asian otaku btw)

I just got KH 358/2 days for my birthday a few weeks ago, and was barely able to play it in my spare time. And this morning my dad was like "You can't play videogames anymore, but you can play computer games"

.........WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE? So I can play emulators and first person shooters, but I can't play ONE DS game, or my wii?

Asian+Otaku=Trying to look left and right at the same time

[RicaWinter08]

Wait, is she the one who sang one of the songs in bleach ?? :/

[cpluvr4ever]

Yeah!! Shes the best!!

[RainbowPens]

:D awwe.

[girl122]

That was really cool! Scretchbook looks like a cute anime.

[Blackbutlerabridger]

Yui Makino-san Kawaii!!! <3

[shoestring63]

No idea who she is, but she is hot. Thanks for the time to post this and her music is awesome!

[FoxC2008]

AWESOME!! I love Yui Makino. I hope she performs at Acen one year.

[TheGreatUrameshi13]

Dear FUNimation crew, please turn down the volume for the background music next time you make a video like this. Miss Makino is very soft-spoken and it's hard to hear her over the BGM.

[shikamarusgirl17]

I sent her a fan mail! It was in Japanese!

Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the concert because I couldn't afford a VIP pass... I'm disappointed but there's not much I can do. I did attend though.

I really love Tsubasa Reservior Chronicle. My favorite part is when "amrita" plays in the movie. I love that song!

I hope you'll do a concert for all attendees at NYAF, not just VIPs. I was hoping to get in somehow, but I guess it couldn't happen... I'd love to see you sing in person!

-Sei Yamakiri

[Acrylicnailzrd0p3]

[THEANIMEPERV]

[cardcaptorsnaruto]

[Seraphia0165]

I wanted to meet her for the longest time now T.T. i was in florida when this con was held.

[EatRune]

[mynameisarnoldo]

[thepunkster90]

Asain girls are really cute

[Newtamaki]

[bluntdude]

Japanese women-are cool-well some are. And it seems that there is more cool women in Japan then america...

[fara40000]

i'm just wondering, but do they have this NYAF every year? because i'd love to go since it's the closest anime related thing by me :D

and she's so friken CUTE!!! ^^ and i find it extreamly calming listening to her talk lol (is that weird?)

[die4kids008]

yup it is.

I went 2 years ago when it was in December but this year it was in September. It's held at the Jacob Javits Center.

[fara40000]

yay!! ^^ thank you! :D but umm since the dates change, is there somewhere to find out when it is? i wanna make sure i'm ready next year

[die4kids008]

The website has it set for October 8th - 10th, 2010

(but it's always subject to change)

Just go to google and type in NYC anime festival.

[cardcaptorsnaruto]

the con was really good this year so i am hopeing they have one next year as well

[MasamiNatsuka]

She is adorable!!! <3

[vtnwesley]

Indeed, cute as a button. Sketchbook was great too. Just a reminder, Sketchbook Full Color is free/legal on Crunchyroll. You can hear Yui Makino's work, if you haven't checked it out yet.
