➤A few months ago I went to the NU: Carnival Original Art Exhibition (新世界狂歡原畫展), the 3rd anniversary event of Nucani, which was only held in Taiwan (Taipei).
➤The exhibition featured an interview video with Eiden's seiyuu Irakusa Netoru, just like this one from years ago. We weren't allowed to take photos or videos, so I can only do a rough English translation based on my memory 😊

——————————————————
Q：How has your impression of Eiden changed over the past three years compared to the beginning?
A：At first, I thought Eiden was an optimistic and cheerful person who got along well with everyone. But as more of his past was revealed, I gradually realized that he also had a sorrowful past and a hidden dark side. It made the character feel much more layered and profound.
Q：What are your thoughts on Eiden's room being shown in the exhibition this time?
A：Should I say… it's very Eiden-like? The room is neat and tidy, but it somehow feels a bit lonely. That sense of loneliness matches the feeling Eiden gives off—sometimes he gives off a solitary vibe.
Q：Any fun moments during the recording process?
A：The recording sessions were always enjoyable. During breaks, everyone would chat together. Hmm… during the Drama CD recording, the two voice actors for Aster and Morvay were really nervous (laughs). Watching others perform live was amazing, it gave me the chance to observe and think about how to sync with them. I'd think, "Oh, so that's how they deliver that line." I learned a lot from that.
As far as I know, Japanese seiyuu usually record their lines separately when working on games, but for Drama CDs, they almost always record together. Especially when it comes to BL CDs, the kissing, breathing and moaning in H-scenes require both the seiyuu’s skills and a high level of coordination with each other.{alertInfo}
Q：Any memorable moments while voice acting?
A：I had the most lines, I didn’t expect that many… but I guess that’s what comes with being the protagonist. Every time, it’s Eiden again (laughs).
Q：What was the hardest part to voice?
A：Hmm… it has to be Eiden x Eiden x Eiden😅 (selfcest 3P😏)
Q：Thoughts on the character's costumes? Any outfit you'd like to see?
A：Everyone’s outfits are beautiful, but it feels like Eiden is the one who wears the most? I hope he can show a bit more skin (laughs). Though it might be intentional. […] I’d love to see him in modern sportswear, like tennis or basketball gear. *(I’m a little unsure about the specific sport)
Q：(Rin suddenly appeared and said a few lines) Anything you want to say to Rin?
A：[…] You always show up so suddenly, it really startles me! I hope you can stop doing that from now on.
Q：Since you're also a player of "NU: Carnival," could you share your impressions of the game?
A：[…] I'd like to file a complaint on behalf of all the players: the gacha is too difficult! We can’t pull the characters we want! It’s easier for me to say it, so let me speak for everyone (laughs). I hope pulling rates will get better.
Q：Any final words for the fans?
A：Thank you all for your continued support. I hope “NU: Carnival” will last a long, long time. I’ll be right there with Eiden, along with all the other clan members!
