![]() ![]() Now, I may just be talking gibberish, and my views are half crazed, but just take a look at Leon's profile. ![]() But almost as an indirect stab at the image Sephiroth presents - and this is all my opinion here - Sakurai takes on Leon's role in echo of Cloud. Now, the character Cloud Strife has a bone to pick with his mortal enemy, Sephiroth. I say this because of Sakurai's other role, Cloud Strife. I found one particular role to be more than just a little amusing: Leon. Especially the teenage characters he plays, he captures their attitudes very well. And I believe his voice fits all of his roles. Normally, Sakurai sounds as a man his age should, so it's a good deal of talent he has that allows him to take on the roles he does. He can easily play an adolescent boy, as well as an older man. Still, I favor his voice acting roles, mostly because I'm better acquainted with him that way. I enjoyed listening to it, if only for the fact that it sounded ridiculous without being painful. ![]() In fact, some of his less serious pieces, one I'm assuming was targeted toward children, is rather amusing and fun. Yet, for who he is and his history of great voice control, hearing one of his songs doesn't make me want to break my eardrums with a needle. I've heard my fair share of not-so-grand music or voices. I am usually wary of voice actors or anyone not trained in the art of singing suddenly taking it up and presenting their piece during a television series. Lo and behold, I have been proven wrong.Īnd not entirely disappointed either. I didn't realize the seiyuu ventured into that branch of entertainment I only knew him to be working in both animated and live action series. I never before delved too deeply in what else Sakurai has done, so my surprise can only be genuine. The reason I mention Sakurai and my fan-oriented love for him is because I found out today, during my perusing through his work, that Sakurai sings. Now, looking at that list, I recalled the various works I've seen and recognized his voice in.īut that's not the fun part. A sample list of where to hear his voice can be found: HERE. There is a large number of titles Sakurai has worked for, many of which I haven't even mentioned. Of course, in Junjou Romantica, Sakurai plays one of the main characters, Misaki Takahashi. I have heard/seen many of his works, some which include Cloud Strife from the various Final Fantasy sequels and affiliates, Izuru Kira from Bleach, Tentomon from the Digimon series, Yuri Shibuya from Kyou Kara Maou!, Orpheus from Meine Liebe, Suzumu Yamazaki from Peacemaker, and Leon from Kaleido Star. Sakurai is a voice actor, though the man has various talents. UnboundsoulUpon watching the animated Junjou Romantica, newly released this month, I rediscovered my adoration for the voice actor Takahiro Sakurai. ![]()
