Sakamoto Maaya TV special on TBS
Speaking of Seiyuu TV specials, while I missed the first time around, TBS is broadcasting a special documentary on Sakamoto Maaya on Sunday July 16. Curiously the TBS website, states that this is the first time it will be broadcast, so maybe I haven’t missed it, but on an earlier version of the page it was first broadcast in June.
Titled 「坂本真綾・君に届く声～ミュージック＆ドキュメント～」 Sakamoto Maaya, the Voice that Reaches You, Music and Documentary, Maaya herself will be narrating the program as it covers her three types of voice work. As a seiyuu for anime and foreign films, as an actress in a live musical and as a vocalist in her own right. Maaya will also sit down to talk to 山寺宏一 Yamadera Kouichi, and reflect on examples on her work.
You can catch the special on TBS, July 16 at 23:00. It sounds like it will provide interesting insights on Sakamoto Maaya’s more recent works. Maaya is certainly a worthy case of study as her career has taken her to perform in diverse areas of the vocal art. It’s also good to see that seiyuu are beginning to get more exposure and recognition in the mainstream for the talent and the roles that they breathe life into.
