◆GYROAXIA Jin Ogasawara as Nayuta Asahi
―Congratulations on the release of the ARGONAVIS Cover Collection-Marble! How was the recording process?
All the songs were recorded in the form of so-called straight covers with almost no major arrangement in terms of performance, so it was a battle to find a way to fully express GYROAXIA's personality while maintaining maximum respect for the original songs.
I interpreted the melody and lyrics by applying them to Nayuta Asahi, GYROAXIA, and reflected them in my expression, or I boldly replaced them with a singing expression that was more comfortable for him (me) in the first place, and now I think it was a recording that tested the experience and senses of both actors and vocalists.
―Please let me know if there are any particular points you're particular about or anything you'd like me to pay attention to!
As in the original song, in expressing Nayuta Asahi with my singing voice, the realization and growth that I have gradually gained with time and experience can be seen in my voice tone and singing method, and I think "for myself" that the six songs are quite easy to understand.
Maybe it's something only I can understand, but...
I hope you can feel that Asahi Nayuta is still alive and growing 〜〜〜〜.
―What do you think of the jacket illustration this time?
If we're talking only about Nayuta Asahi, I like the difference in his eyes.
In the past, it was Ren Nanahoshi who was depicted confronting him most often, and his eyes and expression often seemed to show a glimpse of his core, but the way he looked at Shu Ujigawa was like, "I see him as an enemy, but I don't see him as an enemy yet. It's an exquisite balance that I can't describe.
I'm excited to think that there might be a story where he shows that same glare to Shu, FELIX, and Futa one day.
―Finally, do you have any words for the navigators reading this interview?
The approach of a cover song is different from that of an original song in terms of the feelings, connections, and layers of history that are put into it.
I think this is one of the major attractions of this work. I really hope that through the covers, new faces and interpretations of all the bands are born in you!
Please enjoy it!

◆εpsilonΦ Vo. Yuki Sakakihara as Shu Ujikawa
―Congratulations on the release of the ARGONAVIS Cover Collection-Marble! How was the recording process?
Shu is a boy who shows many different expressions in his singing, so it was very fun to be able to express him in many different ways.
I was able to record the song while groaning and getting excited together with everyone on site.
―Please let me know if there are any particular points you're particular about or anything you'd like me to pay attention to!
I was particular about his ever-changing facial expressions, and I had a lot of fun playing him, so I hope you'll pay attention to that.
Personally, I like the sexiness that Shu sometimes shows!
―What do you think of the jacket illustration this time?
It's nothing short of wonderful.
The exquisite expression on his face as he mocks Nayuta is so cute.
I think he's an angel after all, no matter what.
I want to write in agony at Shu's mockery of me, and I want to be donked!
―Finally, do you have any words for the navigators reading this interview?
Again, it's the stable epsilonΦ, the stable Shu-kun.
It seems like a blur, but it's also beautiful and addictive.
Please listen to their world a lot! Shu-kun is so cute!
