I guess I’m gonna make a habit of posting interesting seiyuu videos from now on… this time it’s an interview with Ueda Kana about her Xbox 360 habits.

I’ll probably put up a translation of the interview sometime later today (gotta dash off to work!)

This is NOT a literal translation – I just took the important points and filled in some bits to make it flow better.
Q:What sort of games do you play on the Xbox 360?
A:One of the first few games I played was [eM] -eNCHANT arM-, which I was actually involved in. Lately, I’ve been playing things like Final Fantasy (XI), and of course, Halo (3). Apart from that, there’s Call of Duty 4 and I’m also going to try out Lost Odyssey soon.

Q:So we heard you have friends who also play games?
A:In my friend’s house, there’s an Xbox360 with a 50-inch TV in a room we call Neverland. And there, about 10 of us seiyuu will gather to play – versus battles (通信対戦), I think you call it.

Q:What do you find so special about Halo 3?
A:I think it’s the large variety of weapons and vehicles, plus the story mode’s really intriguing – it provides great mulitplayer fun, and probably the (game’s) unlimited possibilities.

Q:What were your feelings about (your guest appearance on) Xbox Live Park?
A:Man, that was really interesting! When I normally play Xbox Live, there’s not much opportunity to talk to other people so it was pretty amusing when people came in and started saying “Hi!” to me, and also when I said things like “Save me!”, “Get on!” and things like that. It was really fun working together to carry out missions as a team.

Q:Any messages for the users?
A:Halo 3 is a really good game that I’m very much into at the moment, but I’m sure there are lots more good games that will be coming out for the Xbox 360 in the future. Who knows, we might meet online one day if I get the chance – so see you around then!
