Artist Comments with Yamaguchi Kappei (Usopp of ONE PIECE)

Artist Comments with Yamaguchi Kappei, the voice actor for One Piece character and master sniper Usopp.

Disclaimer: ONE PIECE is owned by Oda Eichiro and TOEI, Ltd. I do not own the rights to this audio, and I've used the pictures in the clip without permission. However, I retain the sole copyrights to this translation.

This work took about 20 hours total to complete, and I floundered about what images to include more than anything else. I hope that those included in this edition complement rather than distract from the text, which is what's these videos are all about for me. ^_^ I'd consider this translation about 90% accurate, with a bit of artistic license thrown in as well. As I stated in the intro, I sincerely hope that I've translated Yamaguchi Kappei's message in a way befitting his character. From what I've gathered from listening to the brief clips available of our favorite One Piece voice actors, they all care deeply about the show and are grateful for all the wonderful staff that work behind the scenes and the myriad of fans who support both the manga and anime. I hope I've shared those feelings through you in these videos so far.

I hope that I can do a video similar to this one again soon. While one-person comment tracks may not seem as "dance-y" visually, they still have a wealth of information for us to learn. These tracks do wonders for my listening skills, that's for sure. And I truly mean no harm to the original authors in clipping these pictures from Hirata Hiroaki, Yamaguchi Kappei, and [eventually] other people's online journals and production/news sites. May their site hits be often and varied.

@HollowKonpaku Hey, you came to check it out! I was surprised too when I first saw pictures on Yamaguchi Kappei's blog a couple of years ago. I'm glad to see that they really get into their characters at times. ^_^ Glad you liked that one line. I hope we get to hear about more recent "behind-the-anime" stories in the future. They seem like they have so much fun together. Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully talk to you again soon!

Wow! Thanks so much! I really liked the early pictures! I had no idea that the voice actors dressed up like their characters. I knew they did in their movie 10 outfits though....

I loved how you translated Yamaguchi-san's reaction to Oda's present as: "Odacchi......Thanks man." It's so appropriate!!
