L'Arc~en~Ciel's HYDE voices himself for "Bakuman" anime
Mon, December 13, 2010 (9:35am EST)
It was recently revealed that musician HYDE (L'Arc~en~Ciel, VAMPS) is doing his first voice acting work for the "Bakuman" anime series. At a post-recording event on Monday, he lamented that he couldn't be natural in his role because he was nervous.
The anime is based on the "Bakuman" manga, created by the "Death Note" duo of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. The story revolves around two aspiring manga artists, and one of the characters in the story is a mangaka and musician named Koogy. HYDE is providing the voice for himself, appearing in the anime as Koogy's producer.
In addition to his voice role, HYDE rewrote the English lyrics of the VAMPS song "GET UP" into Japanese, and that version is used as one of Koogy's songs in the show.
"Bakuman" airs on Saturdays at 6:00pm on NHK Educational.
