Hey, Bleachers. Found an interview between Morita (Ichigo's voice actor) and Orika (Rukia's). -WARNING: THIS INTERVIEW TOTALLY CONTAINS SPOILERS-
M is Morita
O is Oririn
B is both of them
M: So this time, the most extreme stage performace, the person is~!
O: Third Dance, Shirafune! ...I voiced Kuchiki Rukia, Orikasa Fumiko.
M: Hello~
O: Hi, good evening~
M: This is your most extreme stage performance.
O: Right~! Thank you very much~
M: How many times already? I know that you came more than 4 times but after that I lost count.
O: In spring right? I vaguely remember.
M: Right, right right. You were always coming on March or April.
O: There was one time I was invited on Winter.
M: Yes, slowly the broadcasting timeline changed to winter, when the weather is cold.
O: You mean something like from season to season?
M: Only to Ori-chan?! You're so good, well this is because, well... Nn...? *laugh*
M: Ok, so this time, a month before the release date of Bleach Movie, we're going to feature the movie itself so Orikasa Fumiko who plays Kuchiki Rukia's is invited here. We're going to have a talk about the movie. So lately Ori-chan's job is getting busier. Today is your third consecutive day isn't it?
O: Ah, yes, it is.
M: When I saw the schedule, "Ah, I will always be with Ori-chan."
O: *laugh* well for every Bleach related.
M: Right, it's getting exciting right, Bleach Movie. So this time is not about Bleach B Station but more about the movie itself.
O: Right away~!
M: Haik, yoroshiku onegaishimasu
O: Onegaishimasu!
M: Then tonight, with me Kurosaki Ichigo and
O: Kuchiki Rukia brings you
B: "Idiot!!"
M: This time Movie's visual image, the very first leaflet have a very sad looking Rukia standing at the center while facing her back, she really looks beautiful.
O: *laugh* Nn.
M: And there was, "Sayonara, Rukia." It was a very shocking leaflet.
O: You're right. I thought, "I'm going to retire?!"
M: *laugh*
O: I was like, "Great job! Let me retired!"
M: Eh? From Bleach? What are you talking about? *laugh*
O: I don't know myself. *laugh*
M: Is that so? You're so unique *laugh*
O: It's really becoming a serious problem. Actually quite a long time before, I heard some explanation from the director, "It's going to be a 'sayonara' fufufufu," something like that.
M: *laugh*
O: I felt like, "Am I going to end?" *laugh*
M: So you really got a 'dark' impression from director?
O: Yes, because they didn't tell me the concrete contents so I felt like that.
M: Is that so. This time because it's 'Sayonara Rukia' so it becomes a story with Rukia as the center. Whatmore this time, there's 'memories' as keyword. Rukia lost her memories. Not only her but everyone in Thirteen Squad. The only one who remembers is Ichigo and Kon. This story is about how Ichigo and Kon are going to save Rukia, but then, after you performed memoryless Rukia... Which one you prefer, memoryless Rukia or usual Rukia? How do you feel while performing memoryless Rukia?
O: It feels like miracle. Like, after all it's different with usual Rukia. Like voicing a whole different character.
M: How different?
O: Rukia as a shinigami, is standing proud with pride, isn't she? But then that pride disappear, it's lost.
M: So you say that this Rukia is losing her shinigami's coldness, she's a like a whole different Rukia?
O: She's more like a human... maybe.
M: Ah, is that so? Because she was a shinigami, and because now she's different from shinigami?
O: Now she's more like a citizen of Soul Society? Like ordinary... townspeople?
M: Aah! Wait wait, this, what we're talking now can be considered as keyword, right? The 'as citizen' thing.
O: Like normal human, yes. Or ordinary person? I don't know actually *laugh*
M: Ordinary... ordinary shinigami? Well, let's leave it as ordinary person then! So, Rukia as a normal human, when you were performing her, was there any unusual things or things you were careful of?
O: Aa, her feminine side maybe...? Because usually Rukia never cares about those things.
M: Feminine side? Ah, is that so?
O: I never care about it.
M: Hee, but then it doesn't mean she's more tomboy, right?
O: Doesn't mean she's more tomboy, I think she's more like a character with neutral gender.
M: A-aa. So this time...
O: The movie shows more of her feminine faces.
M: I understand. So the highlight is a lot on that. By the way that Rukia is facing more serious situation, isn't she? In previous JUMP which had color information page *laugh*
O: You mean this? *laugh*
M: I believe there are people who had seen it before. This Rukia who wears white kimono, is she wearing a mantle as well? This... is a mantle right? And she's holding a scythe also.
O: Ah, this is an important point.
M: Ah, the scythe is the point.
O: It's a point. It's not fashion.
M: *laugh* It says "Dark Rukia."
O: It's a nickname.
M: The movie preview is currently airing in television, that Rukia, her up-facial expression, the color of her eyes is different from usual.
O: Yes it is.
M: Her pupils became like cat's. So this quite different Rukia, is she really Rukia or is she actually a really different Rukia? I think this part is also one of highlights of the movie.
M: And continuing from previous talk, about the second leaflet, it's about Ichigo vs Thirteen Squad.
O: Nn, it's awesome.
M: It's really cool, right? This. It's cool but,
you see, Ichigo is being surrounded with zanpakutos. I talked this with staff, you know, this zanpakuto, there are unknown zanpakutos among them *laugh*
O: *laugh*
M: You see, those are hidden by Ichigo's figure so you can't see their features. Only the hilt is shown but there are unknown zanpakutos, some of them. So to listeners, if you know about these zanpakutos, please tell us.
O: Please enlighten us~! *laugh*
M: Well, next is not related to movie but the two of us, as Ichigo and Rukia finally released another CD after so long. It's a duet and each of our solos. This time we're going to have first priority to listen Rukia's solo song.
O: Oh! Even I haven't hear it yet!
M: Right? The singer herself hasn't heard it, so of course I haven't heard it as well. It's a special, first priority treat. Then shall we hear, Kuchiki Rukia's, "Echo"
M: Great! Great! I got goosebump from the very first part!
O: Really?
M: It's really good!
O: I'm relieved that I could make it raises tension.
M: It's great! You're so good! So 'echo' is written as 'hibiku' in kanji. How is the recording?
O: I sang while thinking of Ichigo, you know? (Orly?)
M: Uwaa. That's wonderful. You know the director for this time, Sawada-san, he is from X-Japan, or previously X. He raised from indies to major. He's so good at making musical composition of party, to think that this person have the will and desire to write songs for BLEACH..., turned out that his daughter is a huge fan of BLEACH *laugh*
O: Yes, it's true. I even gave her my autograph.
M: You did? Really? Well then, please listen the songs in full version also~!
Movie's Special Project
Morita Masakazu and Orikasa Fumiko's past that they want to forget:
M -> As a child, Morita once dropped soft cream on stranger. There's even a photo as evidence.
O -> When she became an adult, in theater she went into boy's toilet but only realized after she was done.
M: Well well, there's only a month left until movie's public release.
O: Right, so fast~
M: The movie, we talked about this earlier, about Ichigo vs Thirteen Squad. Ichigo will fight Renji again after so long, and then rematch with Ikkaku. There's a new opponent also, like Hisagi or Komamura-Taichou. Of course not only Ichigo but also Ukitake-san and Kyouraku-san, again we'll see this two fight as they dance.
O: Is it ok to say that? *laugh*
M: Ah, then let's end this show after this.
The action scenes are really at their best, you won't believe you're watching Bleach, so please look forward to the movie!
The images are gorgeous. It's really beautiful. You can see from CM that is airing, the quality is really that high.
Even the staffs are so excited and went all out for this movie.
When recording I was told, "Morita-san, what do you think about the scenario? I'm so confident this time!" *laugh*
We have put that much effort in this movie, so please come and watch it!!

Echo
本当の強さを見つめる弱さに

The true strength, to gaze at weakness

It's resounding, a voice that could see through anything.
沈んだ景色をこの袖で拭い

The sinking scenery, is wiped by this sleeve.
声をなぞって歩き出した

Following the voice, I start walking.
今一つ濁った言葉の破片から
ima hitotsu nigotta kotoba no haken kara
Now, from one broken piece of impure words,
ついた傷をながめ迷っていたけれど
tsuita kizu wo nagame mayotteita keredo
gazing at my own scar, I had doubts but,
感覚なら思い出した
kankaku nara omoidashita
I still remember the sensation,
迷いのない背中に
mayoi no nai senaka ni
of that back that does not hold hesitation,
返事を待たずに
henji wo matazuni
without waiting for answer,
頷くはやさがひとつ心の距離と知った
unazuku hayasa ga hitotsu kokoro no kyori to shitta
the swiftness of your approval nod made me understand the space between our hearts.
信じているから瞳をそらせた
shinjiteiru kara hitomi wo soraseta
Because I believe, I turned my eyes away
遠く離れた体の中響け
tooku hanareta karada no naka hibike
Resound! Inside that body which is separated at far.
