Compared to the usual post recording, for “Twenty Faces”, I had to produces a lot of voices, which is one of the things that were enjoyable this time. It was interesting to alternate between voice of “The Fiend with Twenty Faces” and the characters he is disguised as, and because I love doing things like these, it was fun.
I too, hope to be able to perform as the best “Twenty Faces” there is. Let’s meet again in the anime. (Comment excerpt)
