Splash Free gets rank #12 on Oricon charts

Oricon's daily ranking results are out!! Splash Free - #12, Mako's single - #16 and Haru's single - #18. Guess Ta_2's more popular huh.

Seiyuu appreciation post: Suzuki Tatsuhisa

It just struck me how amazing Ta_2's (Tatsuhisa's preferred nickname) voice is, you seriously can't tell that the guy who sang the Free! OP is the same guy that sang Makoto's character songs.

Left to right: Hirarin, Mamo, Nobunaga, Ta_2, Yonaga.

When seiyuus "cosplay" their characters

In the last few days anime forums have been going hype over the September cover of the Seiyuu Grand Prix magazine which features the 5 main seiyuus of Free! cosplaying as the characters that they voiced. @nanaya1974 compared past magazine cover photos that featured seiyuus "cosplaying" (or at least holding the same pose) as their characters of their respective anime.

学園ヘブン(2006年)、うたプリ(2011年)、Free!(2013年)
Gakuen Heaven (2006), UtaPri (2011) and Free! (2013)

An extra bonus photo for Tiger & Bunny fans. Here's Hirata Hiroaki cosplaying as Kotetsu, the character that he voiced.

Lastly, let's not forget our comical Sugita Tomokazu cosplaying as Gintoki from Gintama.
