The voice of Sojuro's audition
When Yusuke Kobayashi auditioned for Kusajūrō, he only had about four lines and a public setting. He mainly uses ordinary, emotionally unaffected expressions, and uses relaxed endings to make his harsh words less harsh.
Explain the emotional reasons sentence by sentence
Yusuke Kobayashi had played the PC version first, but even when recording Juro Kusasa, it was still hard to fully determine the acting style. Kinoko Nasu explains the causes of her emotions and pauses explanations where her surface reaction differs from her inner feelings; Kobayashi also finds a clue to understanding Kusajūrō from a hint from another character.
Make use of existing visuals and music
Yusuke Kobayashi knew in advance about the PC version's visuals and music, so he made part of the fully voiced version more like a reading play, trying to make the performances respond to the characters' expressions and music.
The state of the character at rest
Sojuro's recording was conducted over three days, with about five hours each day and breaks. Kobayashi said that characters rarely need to shout loudly, and he is especially careful not to let the state he has already entered reset during breaks.
Repeat lines with different weights
Yusuke Kobayashi said that a repeated phrase carries different weights in different scenes and has been re-recorded multiple times. Nasu Kinoko explains that Kusajuro's intentions when facing Aoko and others are different, helping him reinterpret the way he performs this line.
