With the second episode set to release today, a new interview of Oshi no Ko Ruby voice actress Yurie Igoma was released, where she revealed some of the moments in the anime that made her cry.
It’s fair to say that the first episode was quite a tear-jerker for many viewers, and it is much more so for Igoma given that she is involved in the series.
Surprisingly though, while Igoma did a great job as Ruby, this is only her first anime role ever.
How Yurie Igoma Got the Role of Ruby Hoshino
The show’s voice cast features several big-name voice actresses, including the likes of Rie Takahashi as Ai Hoshino and Megumi Han as Kana Arima.
Though for the main duo of Aquamarine and Ruby, the staff went with lesser-known voice actors.
Specifically, Aqua is voiced by Takeo Otsuka, the more experienced of the two as he has acted in several shows in the past years.
As for Yurie Igoma, Ruby is not only her first major role, but it is also her first role in any anime production.
In her interview with Cinema Today, Igoma said that this is the first time in her life that she got a role in an anime audition.
This was perfect for her as she really wanted to play Ruby as she’s a big fan of the manga.
Even before the audition was announced, Igoma said that she was already a big fan of Oshi no Ko.
She deems it a “deep and complicated work.” Because of this, Igoma was so excited about the audition when it opened that she couldn’t sleep.
