Production and performance
Ayahi Takagaki is credited as the voice actress for the character in 'The Lost Christmas of the Sinful Crown.'
Preparing materials for Nina's character duet
When recording Nina's duet version of the ending theme 'Yasashiiuso' for the TV anime 'Steel Shell's Regios,' Ayahi Takagaki kept character design materials and the original manga nearby to make her singing more closely aligned with the character's image.
Revisiting Hatsune Island songs as Otohime
The 20th anniversary project features different female leads taking turns singing theme songs. In her 2022 personal diary, Ayahi Takagaki explained that as Asakura Otohime, she covered Yuzuca Hara's "Da Capo III ~Dedicated to You: Love Mahou~" in Vol.2.
After receiving the recording arrangement, Takagaki rewatched the anime and listened to the songs, recalling his early experience playing Otohime. When facing the lyrics from Otohime's perspective, she recalls many scenes the character experiences together with her brother.
Solo recording preparation brought by the recording
When recording "Shining days, shining stars!", Ayahi Takagaki knew that this time a solo version would be included. In the past, she would consider giving some of the strength to the backing vocals, but this time she had to bear it herself, so she adjusted her mental preparation during recording.
Exploration of expression in the early days of solo singing
When recording his debut song "The Place Where You Are," Takagaki was repeatedly reminded not to shape the character and to perform from his own standpoint as a singer. She also explored her own ways of expressing herself by studying recordings of lead singers.
Dear One's words make the decision
When preparing lyrics for Radiant Memories' new song "Dear One," Takagaki originally wanted to ask Noriyasu Uematsu to write the lyrics; After discussing what she wanted to express, the other party suggested she write it herself. In the end, she left her gratitude to 'En', making the new words more self-centered.
