Aww~ but Ishi-chan we want to know more about you (>X)!!!!
I guess my plan to stalk him is out of the question. (>3)Somehow this make me feel sad :(...that he dislike crowds even if that's quite understandable in some sense as to why.... (=|).....Thank you~!! ♥
But of course, as I'm saying that, my inner fangirl is weeping XDDDDDD
To others, maybe seiyuus are like idols to them (and I don't oppose to that) - to Ishida-san though, seiyuu to him is just his job... and originally, seiyuus were people who worked behind cameras, as compared to now where they appear in events and release CDs and all the other stuff...
(did I make any sense?)
But I also, along with many others, want to know more more more about Ishida-san. *_____* I really really really really want to know *cries* And about his dislike about crowds... haha, it sort of made me sad too - I'm afraid that he's lonely *cries* but if he doesn't like crowds that much, it means he's -okay- being lonely?? @_@
I never planned to stalk him, but recently I've been thinking... if we stay outside that 10m radius...*ahem*Ishida-san is such a loner. He needs to open up more. Today is probably not like the old days anymore. Seiyuus has become idols and stars! XDDD He seriously needs to be a bit more open even if Seiyuu is just a job to him and he's trying to say that he's just a normal people like us.
It wouldn't hurt much to know a bit more ne...
Ishida-san, why you have to makes us fans suffer so~ TT.TTOne thing that really bugged me is what he listed as his hobbie. ;___;
Why oh why do you have to think that way???Sometime it makes me want to fly to japan and shake the man and tell him to stop downplaying his ability to interact and get out of that lone hole. -_____- xDDD
My poor fangirl soul.Compared to other seiyuus, he can be said to be quite 'cold' to his fans. He never really says anything to make his fans happy, and recently all he's been doing is quitting BL and singing, distancing himself further from his fans (us!) Though I don't mind at all he quitted BL, more like the opposite... I think you can make the connection, but it's things that some of those so-called fans who only like the Ishida-san doing BL roles said. Even though he tells us not to just 'collect' those voices, in the end he ended up saying things like, "I want more normal fans"... and things like "I was more of a human 10 years ago" (fans speculate that was way back when he hadn't started voicing BL).
This is getting too sad T^T I'm about to cry soon T^T... but from what I've read from other fans and stuff Ishida-san said, that is the only reason I can come up with as to why Ishida-san's keeping such a distance away from us.
That is why I really don't blame him - he's a super sensitive guy and I have a feeling he's the type who gets hurt easily though he doesn't show it. Though this type of situation happens with almost all other seiyuu, because Ishida-san is so sensitive, that is why he took such an approach I guess.
Well, that's only my opinion. Only Ishida-san himself know the real reason ^^'' But a lot of fans seem to come up with the same conclusion. Ishida-san said in a radio that he is the type who chose to be alone, but I'm wondering if he's happy doing that? He said he doesn't like crowds and that he'd rather live somewhere unlike Tokyo, but I'm sure no one likes to be alone all the time? Anyway, sorry it got so depressing (and long), but when I talk about this I can't stop >_____< gomen ne!!
and feeling sad about his opinion on his fans in the process too. TT^TTSome fans are meannnnn~T^T~It's pretty understandable why he's acting that way...a sensitive person gets hurt very easily. ;__;
Thank you for the informations.
I was totally surprised when I heard his responses towards his fans... I think it took him a lot to say that since I don't think he wants to hurt them.
Some fans are just disgusting -_- And I'm sure it doesn't just happen to Ishida-san, too.
Yeah, I feel really bad for him. I've often felt like writing a fan letter, but then I begin to question, 'Does he even bother to read his fanmail?' Not only that, I would have to write in Japanese which I still need YEARS more of studying... or I'd be writing in non-sensical (to him, probably) English...
I wanted to write a letter not like the "OMGGGG" or "I LOVE YOU" or "WHY DON'T YOU SING"... but how I really admire his work and that it really makes people happy ._. I've felt pretty bad about it... about having 'normal' fans, like you said...
((=x also... perhaps he wrote it wrong? but a person with a birthday of Nov. 2 would be a scorpio. I have a friend with the exact same birthday. x_x))
Recently, I've also felt like writing a letter for him. And alike you, I've also thought about the same thing "WOULD HE EVEN READ IT!?" and again, I also need to study more Japanese before I will write one to him. But I think simple English is fine.
Sighs. The fact that he holds such a view toward his fans is sad yet inevitable. But if it's like sensible letter, not too much "I love you!! I love your work!!!! OMFG!" I think he won't mind. For me, I have been thinking to include some art in it ^^''
0____0 Thank you for telling me m_ _m He didn't write it wrong. I translated it wrong. Thank you *_*
