The second season of the anime, "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2," will begin airing in January 2021, but ahead of that, we'd like to introduce the voice actors who played the charming characters in the first season of "Laid-Back Camp△." As the original is a hugely popular camping manga, attention was focused not only on the quality of the animation in the first season, but also on the stellar voice cast. As the story unfolds in a relaxed manner through camping, the voice actors play a more important role than in other anime. Therefore, before watching the second season of the anime, "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2," you should definitely check out the voice actors who will be continuing from the previous series. The voice actors are just as unique as the unique characters that appear in the series, so we think you'll enjoy watching it. Now, let's get started! !
"Yumiri Hanamori" as Nadeshiko Kagamihara
Yumiri Hanamori is the voice actress for the protagonist Nadeshiko Kagamihara. She also voices Ai Hayasaka in "Kaguya-sama: Love is War." She's an impressive voice actress with a wide range of talent, from Nadeshiko's cute, small-animal-like voice to Hayasaka's calm, collected, and cold voice.
The main character of this series
She also voices the main character, Nadeshiko. She even goes camping alone as part of a Yuru Camp△ project. She's also done a lot of advertising work for the series, so she's probably one of the first voice actors to come to mind when talking about Yuru Camp.
There's even a slightly scary story! ?
Although Hanamori is known for voicing such adorable characters, there's actually one slightly scary story surrounding her. That story goes that "the characters Hanamori plays have a high probability of dying." While writing this story, I checked the characters Hanamori has played, and sure enough, they did die with a fairly high probability. Perhaps the rumor about her being a "cursed voice actor" was true after all?
But maybe that's not the case these days? ?
However, despite the rumors of Hanamori being a "cursed voice actress," after my research, it seems that this is no longer the case. Since her debut in 2013, many of the characters she played died. However, in recent years, perhaps due to her increased fame, she has been given more opportunities to play leading roles, and the death rate of her characters has decreased significantly. Perhaps that's why, in the beginning, she rarely played leading roles, leading to her frequent deaths.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to what's to come! !!
Since starting her career in 2013, Nadeshiko's popularity has grown even more in recent years, and she's suddenly been able to play popular characters over the past two or three years. She's truly a voice actress whose future is sure to be exciting.
Nao Toyama as Shima Rin
This voice actress also voices Shima Rin, one of the main characters. She has also voiced many popular characters, including Yuigahama Yui in "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU," Reina Prowler in "Macross Delta," and Chitoge Kirisaki in "Nisekoi."
Her voice is considered unremarkable
In the world of voice acting, many people place emphasis on creating a distinctive and appealing voice. However, Higashiyama has said that her own voice "isn't distinctive, but that's exactly why I can take on a variety of roles."
But her voice is distinct and addictive enough.
Higashiyama herself says it's not distinctive, but from what I've heard, it's a distinct and memorable voice. After all, isn't it because professionals think deeply about themselves that they can be so critical? In particular, her role as Yuigahama Yui in "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" was not only an important character, but she also skillfully portrayed the complex emotional changes that led to her performance, which I thought was a perfect fit.
We're looking forward to seeing her in "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2"!
Having previously played numerous popular characters, we can look forward to seeing Higashiyama in action in "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2." Shima Rin, in particular, is one of the most popular characters in the series, so we're excited to see her in action in "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2"!
"Sayuri Hara" as Chiaki Ogaki
She is the voice actress who plays Chiaki Ogaki. She has also voiced Sanae Nakazawa in "Captain Tsubasa" and Luna in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!"
Her Wide Range of Voices
In addition to the energetic and lively voice of a high school girl, such as Chiaki Ogaki in "Laid-Back Camp△," she is also skilled in the voices of mature, calming characters, such as Luna in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!", and young boys. Hara is a voice actress with a wide range of acting talent.
Nicknamed "Iiya"
On a radio show, Hara jokingly referred to herself as a "god-like being," and Ruriko Aoki, who was also in the room, suggested the nickname "Messiah." This was later misinterpreted as "Iiya," and the nickname "Iiya" seems to have stuck.
We're looking forward to seeing Iiya in "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2"!
Ogaki Chiaki continues to be an important character in Season 2, as she was in Season 1, so you'll likely hear her voice often throughout the series. Therefore, we're already looking forward to seeing Iiya-san's performance! Chiaki works at a liquor store, not a restaurant...lol
"Aki Toyosaki" as Aoi Inuyama
She is the voice actress who plays Aoi Inuyama in "Laid-Back Camp△." She has also voiced Yui Hirasawa in "K-ON!" and Yunyun in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!"
When you think of Toyosaki, you think of Yui Hirasawa!
While Toyosaki has appeared in numerous works, many people probably associate her with her role as Hirasawa Yui in "K-ON!" The image of the innocent protagonist Hirasawa Yui from the hit anime "K-ON!" perfectly matches Toyosaki's acting, and she continues to be talked about to this day along with the popularity of "K-ON!!"
It's not just Hirasawa Yui!!
While Toyosaki is best known for her role as Yui Hirasawa, she has also appeared in numerous other works, making her one of the most talented voice actors in the industry. We're also looking forward to seeing Toyosaki play Aoi Inuyama.
Rie Takahashi as Ena Saito
Rie Takahashi is the voice actress who plays Ena Saito in "Laid-Back Camp△." She has also appeared in many popular works, including Megumin in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!", Emilia in "Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World," and "Teasing Master Takagi-san."
The ultimate moe voice!!
As you can see from the aforementioned works by Takahashi, she has voiced numerous popular female characters who have captivated men around the world. Her voice is so captivating that it's no exaggeration to call it the ultimate "moe" voice, and her beautiful voice is one that only she can express.
Truly a top-notch voice actress!!
Takahashi has already appeared in numerous popular works, so we know we can expect great things from her. However, she was once again selected for the crucial role of Saito Ena, who serves as a bridge between Rin and Nadeshiko. I believe this will further enhance Takahashi's captivating voice, making this a work with even greater expectations.
"Marina Inoue" as Sakura Kagamihara
Marina Inoue is the voice actress who voices Sakura Kagamihara in "Laid-Back Camp△." She has also appeared in numerous popular works, including the roles of Armin Arlert in "Attack on Titan," Nao Midorikawa (aka Cure March) in "Smile PreCure!", and Sonia in "Pokémon."
Calm Voice Quality
As is evident in the voices of Nao Midorikawa and Sakura Kagamihara, Marina Inoue is known for her calm, stable voice quality that somehow puts the listener at ease. Sakura Kagamihara's calm voice in "Laid-Back Camp△" also leaves a calm impression, making her a perfect fit for the role.
She recently appeared as a main character in "Attack on Titan."
For a long time, Inoue was best known for her role as Nao Midorikawa in "Smile PreCure!", but recently she voiced Armin Arlert in the anime "Attack on Titan," based on the popular manga. While retaining her traditional calm image, she has taken on unprecedented roles that sometimes undergo drastic transformations, making her an even more captivating voice actress. We're looking forward to seeing Inoue Marina's slightly different take on Sakura Kagamihara.
"Shizuka Itou" as Minami Toba
Shizuka Itou is the voice actress who plays Minami Toba, the advisor for the Outdoor Activities Club in "Yuru Camp△." She has also voiced Kaori Kanzaki in "A Certain Magical Index" and Bell in "Pokémon Best Wishes."
Unexpectedly, their hobbies coincide
Ito is generally perceived as a serious person, but she lists alcohol as one of her hobbies, matching her character, Minami Toba. Minami Toba is known as a heavy drinker throughout the series, and despite being a female character, she was completely drunk when she first appeared.
We're looking forward to seeing this heavy-drinking duo in "Yuru Camp△ SEASON 2"!
Thanks to the unexpected coincidence of interests between the characters they play, the heavy drinking duo of Itou Shizuka and Toba Minami are sure to be a hit throughout the series. The drunken scenes look incredibly realistic, and I'm already looking forward to them.
A Summary of the Main Voice Actors
What did you think? "Yuru Camp△" isn't centered around story development. Rather, it's a relaxed, fun-loving series that provides us with camping trivia and tidbits. Therefore, I think the voice actors' performances are an extremely important element. It'll be even more enjoyable if you know in advance not only the voices of the voice actors you hear in the anime, but also what their personalities are and what other roles they've played. I hope you'll read this article before enjoying the second season of the anime, "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2."
