Overview

《Angel Beats! 1st beat'
Responsible for the animation sound director for this work.
Angel Beats! Casting division of labor
When casting Angel Beats!, Seiji Kishi focused on whether the voice fit the character and the performance of battles and everyday dialogue; Riki Iida paid attention to the compatibility between actors, characters, and directors to reduce communication pressure on set. The work lacks the original voice as a reference, and the team has different imaginations about character voices, so casting needs to be coordinated.
Selection criteria for the soundless audition
Riki Iida used Hiroshi Kamiya's delicate and confused performance in the audition as the basis for Otonashi's choice to fit the tall high school student path.
Yuri's selection criteria for audition
Riki Iida chose Hiromi Sakurai as Yuri for the role of Yuri, citing the balance between combat and shouting during the audition.
Angel's voice choice
Riki Iida recalled that Angel needed to avoid darkness and distinguish from Yusa's inorganic way of speaking; This became the sound judgment when choosing Kana Hanazawa.
Yui Audition's selection criteria
Riki Iida used the high-tension, powerful anger in Eri Kitamura's audition as the reason for the casting that matched Yui's vocal direction.
Amagami SS-style song selections
During the production of the first season of "Amagami SS," the team followed the director's vision and changed the song selection for each female lead, giving each episode a different impression. Riki Iida personally transformed the Ayatsuji arc into a horror movie atmosphere, with the music for the intermission and next episode preview changing according to the female lead.
In the climax kissing scene of the Tanamachi arc, he used 'Kiyoshi no Yoru' (Night of the Night). Previously, the Morishima arc used many unusual arrangements, but this time he chose to express it directly, letting the music match the mood of the scene.
