Shuu Shiotsuki as Sailor Uranus
Sayaka Fujioka as Sailor Neptune

What are your views on each other’s character?

Sayaka: If I want to do something, she will help me to fulfil it, a very good person

Shuu: Eh? Hold on hold on. We’re not talking about the impression of me, it should be about Haruka? lol

Sayaka: There are too many similarities between Shuu-san and Haruka, I don’t even know from which viewpoint I should start lol. Haruka said before “Man or Woman, it doesn’t matter”. The charm which they have is not something a man or a woman exude.

Shuu: I think that Uranus is the strongest fighter, but mentally, it is Neptune who is the strongest

Sayaka: lol

Shuu: Haruka and Michiru are like puzzle pieces which fit each other, they complement each other and they “match”. Well, Haruka is mentally weak.

Sayaka: I can understand that. She would feel weak halfway through the battle.

Shuu: When facing the enemy, she would be the first to charge and attack, but when the enemy is too strong, Haruka might be “ahh, i can’t” and her mind would start to weaken and lose hope.

Sayaka: Yes, at this time, Neptune would say “This is not the time to say such things”. This is the part where it shows how strong she is mentally.

Shuu: Yes yes lol

Sayaka: The two of them have very good balance.

Shuu: However, sometimes, they don’t engage in conversations? Do you feel that way?

Sayaka: But there is a part which they will communicate after that. I feel that this is a very charming aspect of their relationship

Shuu: There are many explanations to their relationship. In the 90s anime, Usagi-chan asked “Are you two lovers?” and Haruka answered “we are beyond that”. During our performance last year, Sayaka and I discussed about the relationship between Haruka and Michiru, and we both agreed that we will only play them in a relationship beyond lovers.

Shuu & Sayaka Livedoor Interview (important points)

love-boat:

image

– Sayaka believes that the basic thing is to match their clothes and the clothes are planned by Sayaka

– Shuu shared that if she didn’t trust and believe Sayaka, they wouldn’t be able to portray the deep relationship between Uranus and Neptune

– The interviewer asked about their similarity with their characters and Shuu feels that she has nothing in common with Haruka. Sayaka replied that both Shuu and Haruka are charismatic, and she said that Shuu is constantly doing something which makes her happy. As a woman herself, she feels that Shuu would do something to make her happy and it is similar to Haruka.

– Shuu said that the similarity between Sayaka and Michiru is that they will only do things that they deem as important, and they can forgo the non important stuff easily. Sayaka has a girlish side and that is she likes to see Tuxedo Kamen’s rose throws (and Sayaka started gushing about it)
