Mood: flabbergasted
It's amazing, really. Miki Shinichirou, yet another Weiss Kreuz voice actor, plays in Sukisho as well.
I almost immediately recognized the voice yesterday [in between my fangirl squeals about Koyasu and Midorikawa].
What really impressed me was Soichiro Hoshi's ability to alter his voice. In Sukisho he plays the character Sunao, and Sunao's alter ego Ran. Sunao's voice is fairly sophisticated, yet still young. However, when the alter ego Ran wakes up to play, the voice becomes childish and playful. I almost did not realize it was one voice actor, until further researching the anime's voice actors. I must praise Hoshi's ability to change his voice for different personalities.
While I do, indeed, love the sultry and sexy voice of Koyasu Takehito, I can pick it out from any anime that he has played in. His voice, beautiful as it is, always sounds the same. Because of the fact that his voice is orgasmic in itself, he doesn't need the talent to be able to alter it. Nevertheless, Koyasu's voice acting is impeccable, and aside from my love for all things sensuous, I love that about him. The only anime Koyasu had me fooled in was Ouran. Not to say I didn't recognize the voice of Ranka Fujioka, but it wasn't apparent to me right away that is was Koyasu's voice I was recognizing. I said "I know that voice," and never bothered to look it up.
Hikaru Midorikawa is another voice actor who has never failed to please me. He can also change his voice, much like Hoshi. From the role of Shuldig [Weiss Kreuz] to playing Mira [Papa to Kiss in the Dark] and Sora [Sukisho], he certainly took a leap. Schuldig is a sadistic, evil character who firmly believes that ruined lives taste like honey, and enjoys manipulating people into hating one another. And yet, playing Mira and Sora, you see a completely different side of Midorikawa. He's cute, and lovable, and you can't help but squeal or smile every time you hear his adorable voice.
And then there is Miki Shinichirou...
[Will continue later.]
