Azumanga Seiyuu

[Kimmiechan]

osaka is so awesome



[fize4ever]

4:07

WTF Japan, seriously?!

[funfunland22]

I find it very appropriate that Tomo's seiyuu's shirt says "Attitude".

[CaveofTwoLovers]

NO NO NO! Luckily I paused at 0:24 and googled "seiyuu". The seiyuu match their characters so well I believe I would get brain cancer from seeing them.

[PindleofKujata]

Is that really Chiyo's seiyuu's natural voice?  Oh god.

[ShikataGaNai100]

@PindleofKujata Yes, it is...she is also 4'8" tall...just 4" tal;ler than Chiyo. LOL

[bane121986]

they aren't as cute as thier voices are :(

[SoreBakka]

"My voice hardly changes even if I breathe in the helium gas." - Kaneda Tomoko, Chiyo-chan

Her height was 146 cm (4.79ft), when she was 29 years old. However, when she became 37 years old, her height was 150 cm(4.92ft), because she increased in stature afterwards. She is "officially" only 3 inches taller than Chiyo, who is listed as 4' 4." She is capable of making sounds that are beyond the range of human ears. She is truly amazing.

[RetroVideoFan]

Who's that man with the glasses, by the way?

[LavenderYuki]

Osaka (or more specifically her seiyuu) made me fell in love with Osakaben<3

[ZhadoxFlamez]

Chiyo's seiyuu is the shortest one in the group.

You know... kinda like Chiyo...

[jaznyu12]

ehh~~ asi que tambien graban todas las seiyuus juntas owo y no tienen silla? XD no se cansan de estar paraadas ewe!

[Pachyblur]

@jaznyu12 creo que si se sientan pueden tener problemas en la respiración, no sé, ideas mías. Al menos cuando tuve producción de la voz en la universidad (soy intérprete), el profesor siempre nos hacía practicar de pie.

[jaznyu12]

@Pachyblur O: oh ya veoo!



[2FunnyVersionIV]

Tomoko-chan has the cutest voice in the world.

[Darkit2099]

This is awesome

[marianavieira]

Osaka is Orihime! So cool!

[wellguesswhatIthink]

@marianavieira whuuuuuuut?

[marianavieira]

@wellguesswhatIthink Yeah. Osaka's seiyuu is the same as Orihime from Bleach.

[RetroVideoFan]

@marianavieira Don't forget Tsuruya, she voices her too.

[marianavieira]

@RetroVideoFan Yeah! :D

[m4dp4rrot]

lol at 1:38, someone said "n-nani mitten da yo" (what the hell are you looking at)

[JFMello1116]

They've certainly got the faces for cartoon voice talent, THAT'S for sure...

[Thamer4life]

Two people clicked Dislike because they felt like it. People have different tastes.

Get. The fuck. Over it.

[superfreakinawesome6]

nan desu ka??

[sakura2blossoms]

omg. chiyo's voice is so small.. haha and so is with osaka.. i found the Filipino dubbed of Azumanga Daioh cute too, like this... the real main attraction in that version is Osaka, because she didn't have small voice, she have this crazy light calm voice which seems impossible. hehe

[guitarsANDcars39]

geez this is amazing

[sify11]

fcuk no, chiyo is real ;o

[Kamisamadesu1]

For those of you who don't already know, Chiyo-chan's seiyu is Tomoko Kaneda . And, yes, that is her real voice. It has been said that she can make sounds beyond the normal human range of hearing.

[NodDisciple1]

@Kamisamadesu1 Does that mean she could hurt a cat and/or dog's ears? X(

[animemental2]

The 2 people that dislike this can go to hell for all I care.

[Utubebotter]

lol tomo's seiyuu. "Attitude"

[SacroElemental]

subtitles please?

[Shimanchu2006]

Kaorin's Seiyuu actually looks like kaorin!

[blrbgbari]

@Shimanchu2006 oh shit its true!

[variable2102]

It must physically hurt to be Chiyo's seiyu, I guess.

[BaddGirl420]

1:12 - 1:30 I know she's just trying to be quiet, but she sounds....turned on.... :)

[Udumbdumb]

Chiyo's seiyuu how she talk is like shes on helium....

[guitarsANDcars39]

Osaka's seiyu is the best! i think it was Yuki Matsuoka

[HeIIoHater]

chiyo chans voice actor is actually chiyo chan xD

[Ugli2006]

OMG!!! That is a really old and dowdy look for Tanaka Rie... She looks much better with her presently long hair.

Matsuoka Yuki voiced not only Osaka, but also Churuya/Tsuruya in Suzumiya Haruhi and Arumi in Abenobashi.

Asakawa Yuu (Sasaki) was also the voice of Ayoma Motoko in Love Hina. (She still looks hot even after her recent divorce...)

A younger looking Nogawa Sakura... Not bad.

[thecharlotteness]

Oooh maaii gaaahh! I can't believe Chiyo-chan's seiyuu! She's too freaking cute xD It's like her voice never grew up!

[pacificmaker]

director: sugoi desuneeeee xD

[alexthelizardking]

osaka's seiyuu looks exactly like her

[JonathanxD2]

@alexthelizardking XD hahaha ROFL

[aleks0685]

voice of chiyo is so cute

[JohnnyZoo]

fun fact about chiyo's voice actress according to wikipedia:

"In fact, it has been reported that her voice is capable of producing sounds at a frequency beyond that of human hearing."

WTF?! O_o

[JonathanxD2]

@JohnnyZoo eh. . .

wtf too

[Lean069]

Chiyo is uglyyyy damnnnn!

[princessdarck88]

aaa and sakaki -san?

[DX1811]

OMG Chiyoooo

[insme]

OMG Osaka lalala

[pacificmaker]

OSAKA ROCKS!!!!

[JonathanxD2]

@pacificmaker

ofc MAN!!!!!!!!!

[garden0fgraves]

My classmate in university has the exact same voice as Chiyo's seiyuu...the first time I heard her speak it was when a lecturer asked us to read some prose out loud and when it was her turn, everyone was like O_o is she for real?!

[PhazeyBlur]

more please...

[vesamatti]

Kaneda actually took some helium in one program: voice didn't change at all. It really is her real voice.

[necroramo]

i want subtitles

[WheelsOverMe]

hahah i love that it says "attitud" on one of the seiyuu's shirts X'D

[westtxtapper]

@WheelsOverMe:

It's especially funny when you find out that's Tomo's seiyuu.

[chewkachu]

kaorin seiyuu is cute

[gehwe]

Osaka's not as cute in RL.

[Inedrief]

Is it just me or why is it that when I actually see the seiyuu behind the anime characters my expectations drop dramatically. *Sigh*

[yamiimax]

4:07 her normal voice? omg cant believe it maybe she just dissimulate and her normal voice is really deep XD

[hanakurachan]

Yeah... It would be a little freaky if her real voice was like that

[CreatingTrigger]

Omg.. Lol at the woman that's Chiyo's seiyuu.. O_O

[NYtassu]

Oh...Dont tell me Chiyo's seiyuu talks like that too...It's just...hard to believe.

[pheenix42]

Yep, she does...ain't it something? :-)

[i8246i]

Its like she swallowed a helium tank when she was a kid and its slowly releasing over time...

[NYtassu]

@i8246i It's taking effect I see. lol

Maybe I should do that to my kids...when I have some. XD

[oriontwc]

@NYtassu

watch?v=lq7E22uUmVQ

The interview of Chiyo's seiyuu,She really sound like that.

[Nymphonomicon]

@NYtassu If that is her natural voice, she might want to get corrective surgery for whatever is wrong with her cheeks. The whole time they had the camera on her it looked like she was straining her face (in otherwords, doing a voice)...

[ZhadoxFlamez]

I never understood why Ummm is a translatable word.

I thought Ummm was there to fill silence, and it's translated into two syllables....

[Pachyblur]

@ZhadoxFlamez When they say "uhm" they say "yes", but when it's longer it means "no"... :)

[ZhadoxFlamez]

@Pachyblur

I thought "Hai" was yes?

[Pachyblur]

@ZhadoxFlamez "Hai" (はい) means YES　and "iie" (いいえ) means NO.

うん (un) is another way to say "yes", like "uhummm", in English or "Ajá" in Spanish. :)

[ChunSungYoun]

@NYtassu You've never heard Reborn's Seiyuu?

[NYtassu]

@ChunSungYoun Hitman Reborn? No

Popular shounen shows, not my type. Dont watch them. (Except Full Metal Alchemist)

[NYtassu]

Most seiyuus are female. It' understandable since male seiyuus usually dont do well with a female voice. But female seiyuus can do guys' voices.

[theplaygirlnextdoor]

woah chiyo's seiyu is freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!! cute too xD~~~

[westtxtapper]

Why was Kaorin's seiyuu there when Karorin wasn't in the scene?

[questionmarkblock]

Whoa, I didn't expect Tomoko Kaneda to sound like she does in the show in real life!

[Nymphonomicon]

She's either running the best con I've ever seen or the highest voiced post-pubescent Japanese woman to ever live...

[Karminapie]

aww. this is so freakin awesome.

[pumpkingoth]

chiyos seiyuu is ridiculous XD its almost as amazing as the pikachu seiyuu XD

[hardlyknown79]

Which one is Sakaki???? Tomo???Yukari???

[XxSarkenderxX]

R U SERIOUS??? ಠ_ಠ

[hardlyknown79]

yes.... Im talking about the voice actresses... not the actual anime characters lol

[BenJoe90]

Tomo's seiyuu is the one in black dress with ""Attitude" sign.

[hardlyknown79]

thanks.... I kinda knew that one its just that I made a mistake and I wrote Tomo instead of Yomi lol...

but thanks again for your effort

[Mugmw]

It's obvious, but... 1:03 From left to right: (names writen in japanese order - family/given) 1. Tanizaki Yukari - Hiramatsu Akiko (平松晶子) 2. "Osaka" Kasuga Ayumu - Matsuoka Yuki (松岡由貴) 3. Takino Tomo - Higuchi Chieko (樋口智恵子) 4. "Yomi" Mizuhara Koyomi - Tanaka Rie (田中理恵) 5. Mihama Chiyo - Kaneda Tomoko (金田朋子) 6. Sakaki - Asakawa Yuu (浅川悠) 7. Kaorin - Nogawa Sakura (野川さくら) sorry, if I made mistakes in names

[hardlyknown79]

thank you

[ADEspadas]

Osaka seiyuu has the same haircut as Osaka.

[XxSarkenderxX]

ಠ_ಠ

[XxSarkenderxX]

O RLY??? ಠ_ಠ

[LunaLoving]

Its interesting how they all record together, instead of separately.

[pheenix42]

Indeed, Luna...that's old-school radio style! I always wondered why the voice acting in a scene seemed to be so fluid, and now I know why!

[cyborgtroy]

Wow this is weird.

[RitsukaMemories]

That's so cool, I would love to see seiyuus working with the voice stuff up close and personal :D

I really like the one with the attitude shirt, I like how she talks

[tommyk1347]

holy cow - chiyo chan voice actor actually has EXACTLY the same voice. Incredible!~~~

[fugazi0311]

Holy sht! And I think she said she was 20 years old. 'juu-sai' or something.

[tommyk1347]

lol, thats wat i thought, hahahaha.

[Degenskonto]

She said that Chiyo-chan is small compared to the others, and only 10 years old (juu = 10)

[fugazi0311]

Ohh. All I caught was the juu part. lol

[andyjay729]

Tomo's seiyuu is hot. Sakaki's ain't bad either.

And I like how Yuki Matsuoka (Osaka) actually smiled when she noticed that her hiccups were gone. :)

[kolaktelo]

great!! seiyuu showtime!

[LordDazzer]

lol its the hiccup epi!

[roebz]

aww chiyo-chans seiyuu (tomoko) has exactly the same voice!!!!!!!!!

[NARRARROAR]

No, that guy is the producer. he isnt the author of the manga

[CuteCuddlyBearXOX]

cool

[EmberElf]

Chiyo's seiyuu makes me smile. She's so cute!!! :3

[Greenscarfcat]

Chiyo's seiyuu is soooo cute! She's tiny X3

[GGzeOuf]

ZOMG !!! IRL KIMURA SENSEI !!!

[Philly1330]

I'm pretty sure that's the guy that makes the manga but don't quote me on that

[Citoex]

No he's not Kiyohiko Azuma, i suppose it's rly Kimura's seyiuu.

[Philly1330]

The two small Kanji next to his name say "Kantoku" or director, so that settles it. He's the director of the Anime. Can't quite make out his name though.

[hdhtgamer]

F_cking awesome ^^

[MANACARACO]

la vocecita de chiyo-chan se parece a la de honey senpai en ouran, muy lindas sus vocecitas

[insidewest]

声が命ですからねー。

顔はむしろベールに隠した方が良い場合が多いかな

[OreYome]

うわ・・・格好だけの芸能人とは違うね・・・・。

声優さん達の地位向上を願います・・・。

[zerocorona]

Chiyo's Voice actress = 金田朋子(kaneda tomoko)

[akatsuki6672]

Chiyo's Voice actress is soo tiny and Cute!!

^_^

[andyjay729]

And she's crazy too. Check out her blog.

[ZShakibGO]

I LUV AZUMANGA!!! the hiccups scene was a very random scene! XDDD not the best scene but it was good! I luv Osaka's seiyu!

[andyjay729]

I liked the hiccups episode. I thought Osaka and Chiyo's hiccups were cute.

[bakaskybluepink]

O_O Evangeline and Osaka have the same seiyuu... That's interesting. :\

Chiyo-chan is so small!

[ZShakibGO]

lol yeah she's also does Orihime's voice from Bleach! I like her serious Evangeline voice... but her Osaka voice is just damn addorable!

[Lesslie146]

HICCUP

[OtakuPanda]

Wow! I never expected Chiyo-chan's voice actress to be small too!

[calaverx11]

Yeah, same here...I figured Chiyo's actress would be some tall, middle-aged woman with a really squeaky voice like they sometimes are in the States.

Osaka's actress is adorable.

[pumping18]

how do they make taht voices......??

[LadyNinjaKagero]

Just seeing the actors do their voices always excites me for some reason, I don't know why. Maybe cause you see the anime and then you see who is behind it and you can't believe they are doing it.

[BerryColor]

hahaha what did i say?? XD

I meant they're cute you retard!!

[LooieLycanLucius]

o.o'.... that Muhguffen so weird ._.

[lies0022]

He visto la que hace la voz de Osaka, ahora puedo morir en paz ;___;

[BerryColor]

2:50 is sooooo kawaiiiiiiii xD

[NihonFangirls]

Wow...

They look... so different than I thought they would. ^W^

[AcolyteOfDeath]

It's too bad nobody's ever decided to subtitle this, as a favour to we Azumanga Daioh fans who don't speak Japanese.

By the way, the woman who does Chiyo is AMAZING!

[EatRune]

I think Chiyo is cute, but her voice is TOO cute most of the time. Same with Culumon (who she also plays).

[andyjay729]

According to Wikipedia no less, it's been said that Chiyo's seiyuu can make her voice go beyond human hearing range. Really, look it up!

[LordZero666]

I checked the original interview and its true... its says than a recording of hers cant be heard since its beyond 20 hz... its recorded but we cant heard it, awesome.

[Doomimus]

Heh heh. That should come in handy when Chiyo comes to America. If one of us crazy Chiyo-fans kidnaps her, all she has to do is scream at a pitch that only Mr. Tadakichi can hear.

[LordZero666]

Crazy but still truest to the core... Tadakichi-san!!!

[Doomimus]

Tadakichi-san rawks. XD He needs his own show.

[Cookai11]

Osaka's voice is so cute!!

[aliimmortali]

lol i think ive heard all these voices somewhere. and again i cant believe people actually have these high pitch voices :D

[RETALIATIONXNYHC]

Thank you for uploading this, I nearly died of a Moe Overload when Tomoko came on talking.

[classof77]

"anata no nou chotto mondai sou dakara."

Heh. You think?

[okinomiyaki]

great i love seiyuu osaka =D

[cluelessqueen]

this is full of win nice to see the faces behind the voices

[suomi93]

Asakawa Yuu!! <3<3<3

[classof77]

Fascinating.

The Azumanga seiyuu aren't at the same "holy crap they look just like their characters" level as, say, the Gatchaman seiyuu were.

But look at Tanaka and Higuchi side by side at 3:20 and tell me you can't discern who's Yomi and who's Tomo.

Asakawa is coolly elegant and Kaneda ... wow, that's really her voice.

Hiramatsu doesn't look anything like Yukari.

[classof77]

Delightful.

[nuclearjimbo]

epic win

[tingle1337]
