Event: Super Spoilers! Nier: Automata Dinner and Talk Show @STORIA (超ネタバレ！「NieR:Automata」ディナートークショウ＠STORIA) Personalities: Yoko Taro (director), Saito Yosuke (producer), Ishikawa Yui (2B) , Hanae Natsuki (9S), Yuuki Aoi (Pascal), Yasumoto Hiroki (Pod 042) Date: May 3rd, 2017
This clip is from a Nier: Automata event held in front of a live audience, at the STORIA theatre cafe(1). Yuuki Aoi is a pretty big otaku, and she does not hide her deep affection for the shota android 9S, who is voiced by Hanae Natsuki. The 9S Volks doll in front of her in this video is her own personal one that she outfitted herself by scouring the streets of Akihabara.
When Hanae Natsuki says a line in 9S's voice, Yuuki Aoi forgets all about being at an event, and her inner otaku is unleashed w
Yoko Taro: *speaking of alternative game scenarios for Nier: Automata* It'd then be like a high school setting, with the "I'm late, I'm late" trope...
*crowd laughs*
Yuuki Aoi: Waaah! I totally want to see that!
Saito Yosuke: You'd want to see that?!
Hanae Natsuki: "I was picking up acorns, and before I knew it, I was late..."
Aoi: SOOOOO CUUUUUUUUTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Yosuke: What's up with that reaction?!
Aoi: *realizes she may have unleashed her inner otaku out too much and starts acting surprised* Eh?!
Yasumoto Hiroki: You should look at Ishikawa's face once in a while and calm down.
*Ishikawa Yui shakes her head while laughing*
Aoi: No, no, no. We get along fine, right?
Yoko Taro: Ishikawa-san hasn't been able to tag into this conversation a single time. [referring to the high otaku levels Yuuki Aoi and Hanae Natsuki are displaying]
Ishikawa Yui: Just listening to you makes me feel your happiness.
Hiroki: It'll be OK. I'll just tease Aoi every once in a while for you.
Aoi: *speaking increasingly quickly* We're fine, right? We're totally- We were both voice actresses on Qualidea Code(2) together, right?!
Yui: *laughs* Yes, we were together.
Hiroki: Yuuki's negative otaku traits are appearing, she's speaking too quickly.
Aoi: When I start drinking alcohol, my limiters are off. *laughs*
*Saito Yosuke tries to steer the topic back on track*
Yosuke: We previously had a party to celebrate the release of the game, *points at Natsuki and Aoi* and these two were going on and on and on and talking endlessly.
Natsuki: Yes we were.
Yosuke: I then noticed he had suddenly gone silent, and it was because he had fallen asleep.
Natsuki: Yeah. I had reached my limit and had passed out.
Yoko Taro: You collapsed onto the floor of the izakaya, right?
Hiroki: You stopped functioning. [in reference to what Pod 042 sometimes says]
Aoi: When he fell asleep, it was a tatami floor [in the izakaya], so he was laying on the floor. The table was hiding him and I couldn't see Hanae-kun from where I was. All I could hear was the voice of a really sleepy 9S coming out from the place where I couldn't see him. *laughs*
Natsuki: That's kind of creepy...
Aoi: *laughs* I thought so too!
