Aqua voice actor reveals what the Oshi no Ko dubbing process is like

In his interview, Takeo Otsuka said that he already followed the Oshi no Ko manga before acting as Aqua's voice. So he based himself on what he saw from the original story to create his interpretation of the character in the anime. Then, the voice actor says that, like him, all the voice actors and the team in general do their best during the recordings, because they are all fans of the series.
“Although the series places Aqua's revenge as one of the main pillars, it has light-hearted banter and many fun and funny scenes. I think everyone had a lot of fun acting out these scenes, and in the end, this show has a lot of dialogue.
And that's not just Aqua, but others, including Kana especially, have a lot of lines. Megumi Han-san was really worried about this. But from my point of view, it's like, “Oh, it's just amazing.” Watching Han-san makes me feel like she's the only one who can play Kana Arima.”
Furthermore, he says that the manga's creators, Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari , also appear in the recordings sometimes to monitor the production.
“And everyone, not just the cast but the entire crew, really loves this title. So I feel like everyone is looking in the same direction as they work on this series. The authors of the original manga also appear when they can, so the recording sessions are very comforting.”
Therefore , Akasaka and Yokoyari started the manga in Shueisha 's Salto Jovem in 2020. Volume 12 of the manga was published on March 17, 2023 in Japan.
