SEIYUU LOUNGE

Nowadays there is the talk that seiyuu have been trying to stray away from acting in anime and jumping to TV dramas and series, lending their bodies instead of their voice to acting.

However, when you take a closer look, there are actually quite a lot of seiyuu that made the inverse jump. They were initially stage actors, TV drama live actors, or musical actors.

In this episode let's cover some of the seiyuu that started their careers as actors.

You and I wrap up this talk about vocal chameleons among male seiyuu with an in-depth talk about one of the most underrated singers among seiyuu, that is, surprise surprise, a chameleon.

In a way you can say that Tomoaki Maeno has achieved the true chameleon identity: few even notice just how impressive he is as a singer due to how lowkey he is about his skills.

One of the most active seiyuu in 2D groups. A seiyuu that usually gets cast in 2D music projects that end up becoming ridiculously popular.

Owner of a massive vocal range, exciting singing skills with loads of untapped talent and with a natural leader vibe, and ability to fit any music genre, Takuya Eguchi is a vocal chameleon you want to have in your 2D music projects.
