Q: Your Egypt stories are very intriguing but let’s get back on track. When did you decide that you wanted to become a seiyuu?
A: I returned to Tokyo to enter junior high, but I found that I didn't really fit in. That's when I first came across JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I was reading it and thinking; Everyone is fighting for what they believe in or fighting to protect something. But I am only thinking about myself and that's no good; I realised that my troubles seemed so trivial by comparison.
Q: Which arc were you reading?
A: The 6th part, Stone Ocean. I was greatly encouraged by reading it, thinking I've gotta be strong like Jolyne!. I started meeting fellow JoJo lovers online and it was common for fans to post videos of themselves reading the lines from the manga. I'd take part in JoJo-related Skype reading sessions and got a lot of good feedback. I was really happy, and these recitals made me feel like I was a resident of the JoJo world; the sessions were only held sporadically but I was impatient and I ended up reciting the entirety of Volume 1 of JoJo by myself; not only the dialogue but the sound effects too. While I was doing all this I started thinking, I should become a seiyuu for real and appear in JoJo when it gets animated!;, and that's how I got started on this path.
Q: So if they do animate the 6th part I suppose you would definitely be going all out to voice Jolyne.
A: I want to be Foo Fighters!
Q: Not Jolyne?
A: Jolyne is the one I adore. So I want to be Foo Fighters, the one who lends her a hand.
Q: Your love for JoJo is pretty full on. Could it be that the Horse Riding Skill Certification Level 4 that I see from the qualifications column of your profile is related?
A: Of course I read Steel Ball Run (JoJo Arc 7) and thought "I wanna ride a horse!". I can now ride across the Americas!
...
So yeah, you'd see certain comments in videos going "Ora ora ora ora", "Muda muda muda muda muda"; or "But I refuse";, right? I was just so curious about them so I looked them up and discovered that they were lines from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The art happens to be in my favoured dramatic style too.
So I was in junior high and didn't have much money, but I went ahead and bought the first 5 volumes of Stone Ocean. I'd mistakenly thought that it was the first arc of JoJo. I read it, but couldn't understand anything at all. I was like, "Huh? What? Who's DIO? Who's Jotaro?"(laughs)
Q: They reset the volume count starting from Stone Ocean*.
A: Regardless, I did think the protagonist Cujoh Jolyne was so cool and I wanted to know more about here. I started collecting JoJo bit by bit and by my 1st year of high school I had the entire set. I still found it tough to adjust when I entered high school but I'd find courage whenever I looked at Jolyne.
Jolyne is a 19-year old girl who was betrayed by her boyfriend and falsely imprisoned despite her innocence, and all the while her dad is in critical condition. She's in dire straits and completely messed up at first, but her resolve only strengthens.
She's exactly the kind of woman I want to be. I thought, I want to be as strong as Jolyne!
My worries over my inability to adjust in school seem trivial when compared to Jolyne. I'd fire myself up with the thought that Jolyne wouldn't cry over something like this!; and thanks to that, I've overcome many painful situations since. And not just in high school, [she helped me] even when I was job hunting or working, and now that I've gotten into this industry. I tend to contemplate things a lot, and it is Jolyne whom I'm devoted to. Jolyne, and the JoJo series has been the Bible of my life.
*The original JoJo series consists of 63 volumes across 5 arcs. From the 6th arc Stone Ocean, the volume count was reset to Volume 1.
Q: It's amazing, just listening to you speak about this makes me feel overwhelmed. Is there anything special that you do so that you can become as strong as Jolyne?
A: The one scene that resonates with me and gives me strength is when Jolyne is sent to the prison quarters and gets faeces thrown in her face. Normal girls would go what century are we living in again?; or something like that, but she replies with the one thing I can't do in here is to build up unnecessary stress or allow my mental strength to wilt; I have a mission to fulfil while I'm here so I'm going to grow stronger in these circumstances.
I just love how inspiring this scene is. I still go back and re-read it whenever I'm low on confidence or feeling a bit down to gain a bit of courage. Jolyne's doing her best too!
Q: Jolyne resides in your heart now.
A: That';s right. She's the key to my optimism!
JoJo also happens to be my first taste of voice acting. A group of JoJo fans gathered and started doing something similar to recitals through Skype group calls. We'd decide on which episode of which part we'd do that day, and rotate the various roles amongst ourselves.
Q: So such meetings do exist. Did you take part as well, Fairouz-san?
A: I took part in the recitals when I was a freshman in high school. I'd never done any acting prior to that, I was just keen to join in with the thought of, wanting to be a character in JoJo, but I ended up being praised for what I did. I can't wait for each JoJo recital after that and would often do readings on my own. The thought did occur to me that I wanted to act in a JoJo anime adaptation and voice a character who aids Jolyne; and that is why I became a seiyuu!
Q: Ohhh!
A: Sorry for being long-winded.
Q: It's alright. I thought it was wonderful, that you went from putting voices to a manga, to actually becoming a seiyuu.
A: Yeah.
Q: Do you still read JoJo?
A: Of course! And I still do my own recitals. I'll listen to what I've read, and go,Nope, that sucked (laughs)
Q: If arc 6 of JoJo were to be animated, you'd really want to be in it.
A: I'd probably cry if that were to happen (laughs) But I couldn't pull off Jolyne. I'd love to play a character that fights alongside Jolyne, someone who's there to lend her a hand.
Q: You never know, you might get an offer to do Jolyne;
A: Obviously if that was the case then I'd do my best to bring out the Jolyne inside me; that I've carefully nurtured; so watch out! But of course I'd love for Jolyne to be voiced by the worthiest woman in the world and for me to observe from behind.
I'll believe in the words of the people who support me!
