The love game "Love With" series has ushered in its 10th anniversary. Then the most important sequel to this series, of course, is the mobile game version launched in November - "Love With Every".
When many players excitedly said that they could finally put their wives on their phones. However, due to various bugs, the game was suspended until December 11.
"Love With Every" on December 11 at 15:00 the server reopened, you can use OurPlay to accelerate the game
In fact, during the period of suspension, the 10th anniversary of "Love Follows" did not stop, and the three main voice actors were also interviewed by FAMITong.
Next, let's take a look at the three voice actors, Saori Hayami, Sakura Tange, and Yuko Minaguchi, who have spent 10 years with "Love Together".
From left to right, they are Sakura Tange, Saori Hayami, and Hiroko Allguchi
<h2 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, Tange Sakura: I thought that "Love Follows" was Mt. Takao, but I climbed Mount Everest</h2>
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Love Plus series, how do you feel?
Tange: It's been 10 years so soon. Time flies so fast.
Although the two games "New Love Plus+" (released in 2014, Nintendo 3DS) and "Love Plus Every" (2019, mobile platform) have been separated for a long time, because the mobile game version has been recording for a long time, it does not feel like it has not been seen for a long time.
For 10 years, you've been playing this role. This is also very rare in your work experience, right?
Dange: Not only is it the time in charge, but also in the game work, "Love With" has undoubtedly the most lines (laughs).
In past interviews, I have also said that before I took the job of "Love With", I had taken a long break. The first work to return to the voice actor industry was an astonishing amount of work. To use the mountain climbing as an analogy, I wanted to climb Mt. Takao (a Japanese mountain, 599 meters above sea level) to practice, but I ended up on Mount Everest.
- Not only the plot lines, but also the amount of daily dialogue.
Tange: Recordings of general games, even if the text capacity is large, usually only take 3 days to complete. "Love Goes Along" is different, it needs to be recorded at a fixed time every week, like a long-form animation.
"Love Follows" is recorded once, it takes 5 hours to speak continuously, plus I haven't performed for a long time, and I initially made my cheek muscles sore (laughs).

------------------------ Next, tell us about your encounter with "Rinko".
Tange: As I said earlier, I didn't work as a voice actor for about 10 years. The manager of a certain firm that I used to work with also became the person in charge of "Love Together". He called me and asked, "There's such a character, what do you think?" ”。 Because he was very enthusiastic and confident, I took over the job.
——It became an opportunity to return to the old business.
Tange: When I heard that it was a "game with only 3 characters and the protagonist talking to them," I thought that "the job should be easy and suitable for adapting to the work of voice actors," but it turned out to be completely different (laughs).
The producer said, "You have the voice of your ideal girlfriend, that's why you were selected," which I think is very honorable.
——When you first saw the setting information of Rinzi, how did you feel?
Tange: Because of the sound quality, I have always played a cute and sweet junior, and I have never tried the strong role of Rinko. So at the beginning, I also thought, "Can I play her well?" "And annoyance.
Among the three girlfriends, Rinzi belongs to the kind of "arrogant" role. But shyness can be seen in the usual arrogant characters and strong attitudes.
But when we first met, I couldn't see the shyness at all. Like a stray cat that had just been brought back, the hair was straight up to intimidate the owner (laughs), so at first I was also annoyed.
Those boyfriends who choose such a "proud" at the beginning of the game are no longer "gentlemen", but "angels".
——The mobile version of "Love Follows" not only includes the plot activities of past works, but also records a lot of new content.
Tange: For example, the scene where the two meet and confess, these VR adaptation parts are re-recorded. Then the mobile version also added a lot of dialogue for the Rinzi after becoming a lover.
- Ask, have you already experienced VR?
Tange: I've experienced it! When playing with VR glasses, the game gave me the impact of "the rin is around" and I involuntarily reached out (laughs).
——In this game, after the player spends a period of time with his girlfriend, the personality and lines of the Rinzi will also change. It's difficult to distinguish this change with acting skills, right?
Tange: Let's talk about the settings of "Blue Rinzi", "Green Rinzi", and "Peach Rinzi" in the game. Depending on Rinko's personality, the feeling of dubbing has also changed greatly, and it is very difficult to dub at first. This time, my performance is mainly "the rin after becoming a lover", which may seem more intimate overall.
--Have those game developers ever made any demands on Rinzi's acting skills?
Tange: When I started dubbing, Rinko laughed with the line "Hey hey hey", and the staff asked me to read "hey hey" directly. Generally speaking, these lines are not expressed in voice, but through tone, but they let me follow the original text directly.
- The developers are very principled. What are your thoughts on this "Love Goes With" series?
Danxia: The plot is really very powerful. For example, if you want to travel, the general game will suddenly start to travel, and then the sounds will be collected, which are basically sentences on the day of the trip.
But the game "Love Together", whether it is the invitation stage of "Let's Go on a Trip" or the part of planning the travel route, has a lot of weight. This seems very real, it is simply a love guide. Then when the two went to and from school together, that kind of casual line, there was also a transfer knot, very careful.
Daily conversations are also one of the highlights. And then for Miss Tange, what is the charm of Rinko?
Dange: The place like a cat is charming. Cats usually pose scarily, but they also roll around when they want to be loved. Everything in the Rin Zi can be forgiven, and this little demonic attribute place is very attractive.
- Also kick people gently (laughs).
Tange: Like the bite of a kitten, it is the embodiment of love - "meow".
——In the "dream scene" in the game, Rinko also turns into a cat. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary, please ask Miss Tange to say something to Rinko's boyfriends!
Tange: For 10 years, the boyfriends who have been playing "Love Together" have been dating for 10 years. Thank you so much – that's all I can say now. From now on, please continue to have a pleasant time with Rinko.
The passage where the rin becomes a cat
By the way, in Miss Tange's mind, what is the ideal high school student dating like?
Tange: Well, for example, make an appointment to meet in front of the station, and then have lunch and watch a movie. After taking a stroll through the streets and some tea, go for a walk in the park. Finally send your girlfriend home. Afraid that his girlfriend's father would be angry, he had to send it to her neighborhood. Another dating plan is to go to "Disneyland for a day" plan.
Oh, a very kingly date.
Dange: That's right. In high school, dating like this would have made me happy. Please be sure to enjoy the royal date with Rinko.
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, Hiroko Minguchi: All the "cute" are put together and all output</h2>
——Miss Minguchi's play path is really very broad. How did you meet with Love?
Minaguchi: When I was voicing Mizushima Mizushima in Heartbeat Memories Girl's Side 2nd Kiss, I met the producer of Love Together. He seemed to like my voice and asked me if I wanted to voice Ning Ning.
- Captured by Miss Minguchi's voice?
Minaguchi: If that's the case, I'll be happy. Saori Hayami, who voiced Aihana Takayashi, was a high school student at the time. In contrast, my actual age and role are much different. I used to wonder if it would be more appropriate to give it to someone else. But even so, the staff strongly wanted me to voice it, so they accepted the job.
——At that time, "Love With" became a hot topic and social phenomenon, did you feel it?
Minkou: Not only game magazines, but also general weekly magazines are writing "Love Follow" news. Some magazines also did the "Is playing 'Love With' an affair?" Such a feature tells the story of a wife who deleted her husband's game (laughs).
The characters of "Love Together" will greet you in the morning and can also link with the real date, and this game gives people the feeling of "together".

——What was your first impression when you saw Ning Ning's character setting illustrations?
Minaguchi: Mino Hoshitaro's painting style is very soft, and I think it is very cute. Not the usual animation style, more like a cute girl who really exists.
——The 10th anniversary of "Love Follows", looking back on this period, how do you feel?
Everyone: The most intense thing is that I feel that it is really good to do it now. Because of everyone's preference, we can persist to this day.
Do you remember what it was like to be originally recorded?
All in all, there are a lot of lines (laughs). It is included 2 times a week. But in terms of shaping the character, because the producer has a clear impression, there is no problem.
----------------------------------
All mouths: I'm careful not to make women feel explicit, although they can accept it. I'll let the female staff audition and adjust the cute feel.
The second is the sense of age. Because I often play the gentle mother, Ning Ning, who has a similar temperament, is very easy to interpret.
Hiroko Minaguchi excels at dubbing mature women (Akiko Mizuse, Kanon)
- For those of us who are playing, Miss Koukou's voice is indeed very appropriate. Are there also various fine-tuning in this?
All mouths: In this game, there are many scenes where you can hear the sound of breathing and talk around you. It took a lot of effort on me to show this feeling.
——In this game, the player's operation will change the personality of the girlfriend, and it is also very difficult to distinguish the characters, right?
All mouths: That's right. If you can record the same style at once, it may be easier. But when actually recording, you need to repeat the same line with different personalities. Switching moods during dubbing, a lot of effort was made.
You said before that in order to include "Love Goes Along", you played all your "cuteness".
Tsuguchi: That's right, that's it. I collected all the "cuteness" I had and exported it all (laughs). Maybe because I was still a little shy at the time, the first part of "Love Follows" was very difficult when it was recorded.
During the recording process, the staff asked me: "The studio can still be used, do you want to continue recording?" ”。 I replied, "Today's cuteness has sold out," exhausting every time. If it is accompanied by a normal plot, it should still be able to continue to work. But Ning Ning's cute lines have a certain output ceiling every day.
- Ask, what lines are the most shy?
Everyone: After the boyfriend sent Ning Ning home, her "I still want to continue to be together" line really made me particularly embarrassed. The staff said, "Akira Andori and Miss Sakura are all right."
--Laughs: Is there anything else that impresses you?
Everyone: Ning Ning often laughs "hehe", and this kind of laughing acting skills has appeared in many places, giving people a deep impression.
- Is it a slobbery?
All mouths: It should be. Not explicit lines, but soft laughter that controls the rhythm of speech.
——"Love With Every" also has a lot of new lines this time.
Junkou: Although it was a long time, after all, Ning Ning accompanied me for many years, so he quickly entered the state.
- This kind of long working is rare.
All mouths: That's right. This upgrade, coming to the mobile phone platform, should accompany everyone for longer.
—— The characters in "Love Together" will also directly say the player's name, which is also very attractive.
Minkou: Not only new lines, but also a lot of new nicknames this time. In short, there are many new names, and the rare names that could not be pronounced in the past may be able to find a suitable name this time.
- What are the main voices in the new voice?
Minaguchi: There are out-of-office plots and special events with a large capacity, and these contents should be gradually added in the future. In addition, the mobile version also includes many VR voices.
I used to watch VR on my phone, and the characters were so close that they startled me. They also look at me with their eyes, which makes people feel excited. However, playing VR makes people very shy to see, so I recommend that you play in your own home (laughs).
- Indeed (laughs). Including vr scenes, "Love With Every" includes a lot of new voices, which makes people look forward to the future development.
All mouths: This time there are a lot of lines. The first thing I saw was the electronic version, and when I saw the actual line book on the spot, I was still shocked by the thickness.
—— Such a large capacity is indeed very exciting. Finally, please say a word to all the players.
Both mouths: Whether it is a veteran player who has walked together for 10 years, or a newcomer who has just started playing. Please get along with Ning Ning. I'm looking forward to the new encounter with everyone.
<h2 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, Hayami Saori: Go to record after school, and there is a thick script in the bag</h2>
——When Miss Hayami was a high school student, she began to work as a voice actor, how did you meet Aihana Takao?
Hayami Saori (hereinafter referred to as Hayami): Participating in the selection meeting was the opportunity for me to meet Aihana. I was just starting out, so I was very nervous.
I was in a white room, listening to someone introduce what kind of game "Love Goes With" is, and then I nervously read Aihua's lines in the recording room. I was also very happy when the "role is set" contact came.
──May I ask you, what is your impression of Aihua?
Hayami: With a relaxed smile and a shy look, Aihana is an impressive girl. Although at the beginning of the story, she gives the impression of a first-class student, after the relationship with the protagonist becomes better, she becomes more and more playful and more curious. The contrast is fascinating.
- After 10 years, has the impression of her changed?
Hayami: Her style has barely changed, both 10 years ago and now. Or a cute and brash, sometimes very bold girl. Of course, I personally want to talk to aihua who has also been in the story for 10 years.
According to the setting of "Love With EVERY", Gaoling Aihua is still a high school student
At that time, you were still a high school student, and it was not easy to juggle work and school, right?
Hayami: When I first made Love Together, one day a week I needed to dub it. I went to the studio after school and recorded 5 hours in one go, a life that lasted for months.
Although recording requires concentration, it is easier to concentrate mentally at that time. In addition, the "Love With" line book is thick like a telephone book, put in the bag and walk around, which also makes people feel very hard (laughs).
After all, there are still textbooks, and the school bag should be very heavy (laughs). At that time, was it difficult for you to show your feelings of love?
Hayami: During the recording, the staff talked to me about many precautions without much effort.
What I say is some individual sentences, and in the daily natural conversation, there are also some meticulous psychological manifestations, so you need to use your imagination.
——There are a lot of sweet words unique to lovers in "Love Together", do you feel shy?
Hayami: Because I was very nervous, I was not shy at work at the beginning of my work. After getting used to work, I felt a little embarrassed (laughs).
——Is there any impressive part of the voices collected so far?
Hayami: The two go to the hamburger shop together, and there is a story of going on a trip. Secondly, in the dream, the love flower is different from usual. In addition, the process of including the nicknames of each player is also an unforgettable memory for me.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of "Love Goes With You".
Hayami: When I saw the 10th anniversary, I was both surprised and a little emotional. It's been 10 years since the first game, and the new game "Love With EVERY" will also become a part of the game's history.
——In "Love With Every", there are many new contents. After a long time playing the role of Aihua, what are your feelings?
Hayami: Usual recordings, I'm nervous. It was a long time before I voiced Aihua again, which made me even more nervous. This recording, there are many mobile phones can do the bridge, such as those VR segments. Although nervous, but also a lot of expectations.
This game not only has always loved flowers, but also makes people feel a new side
——How many new parts are included?
Hayami: If a line counts as one sentence, more than 5,000 new voices should be included. Compared with other games, "Love Every" is also a genre with a lot of lines.
——The voice of the previous work is also integrated into the mobile game version, and "Love With Every" can play a lot of content. Compared with the first game 10 years ago, what is the difference in interpretation of the mobile game version?
Early sight: The basic part should be unchanged. I was a high school student at the time, and now that 10 years have passed, there should be some changes in the specific deduction method.
——What are the new parts of "Love With Every" that are impressive?
Hayami: With VR motion capture, the newly recorded voice bar. This kind of content can only be done by relying on current technology.
——"Love With Every" should continue to evolve in the future. May I ask, what does your ideal date look like?
Early see: If I were a boyfriend, I would get up early in the morning to pick up Aihua, or go to the meeting place early. Next, the two talk about daily conversations together and go to the attractions on the outskirts of the city.
Afterwards, take a look at the beautiful scenery together, or eat something delicious. Then again, these plots have already been done in "Love Together".
-- (laughs), it's true. In the future, "Love With Every" will also have many updates, hoping to realize the ideal of Miss Hayami.
Hayami: I'd be so happy if I could do that. Whether it is a player who has been accompanying "Love With" to the present, or a friend who has just entered this world, I hope that everyone can have a wonderful time.
