Check it out:
In her interview, Yurie Igoma reveals that she was already a fan of Oshi no Ko before working on the anime because she had been following the manga. Therefore, when she learned she would be playing Ruby, the voice actress says she was very excited about the role. Furthermore, Igoma compares herself to the character, saying that she got the job on the anime just a few months after becoming a voice actress.
“This was the first time I auditioned for an anime, so it was where I got my first solid understanding of how auditions worked. As for Ruby-chan, I’m also a fan of female idols. And the first audition was literally months after I started working as a voice actor… It was just a few months after I signed with my agency.”.
Since Ruby intends to become a new idol and I'm a rookie voice actress, my feelings overlap with hers regarding "I'll do my best from here on out!". So I really wanted to play the role of Ruby-chan, no matter what!
