Something I haven't seen mentioned yet - Sparkle is an addict. There's deeper physchological implications with that then just being a puppet. Now, whether or not that addiction was brought on by some supernatural mask mojo, who knows, but the end result is the same. You can tell from the by her brief bouts of sadness in her voice that she's aware she's lost control, but she's still fully....Sparkled. And, of course her calling her mask "beloved" is straight out of gollums' playbook.
Reina Ueda (JP VA) just nails whatever role she is in I guess. She voices so many roles in anime and video games (more notably Ganyu in Genshin and Scarlet in Nikke. Always a pleasure to hear her and when she does voice act for anything you just know its gonna sound awesome!
She really did an amazing job! It's so cool to listen to all the vocal choices the voice actors and actresses make. She really captured Sparkle's playful quirkiness 👏
fr some EN dub in genshin is a miss imo but its harder to find fault in HSR EN dub, ig partly helps because its second EN dub hoyo game so they probably learnt it from experience with genshin@@onslaughtx8309
So much voice talent. I like how all three languages took different approaches in their interpretation. English is a bit more up-front, arrogant and mischievous. Chinese is soft, breathy and playful. Japanese is almost manic and playful. Subtle changes, but fun to note. Even more fun when you can understand the context in both Japanese and English and share with us. S rated trailer? Trailer tier list!
YES! I love hearing the different interpretations! It was super fun rewatching this while focusing specifically on the voice acting. There's so much nuance and intricacy to each delivery. Really well done by all VAs also, yes haha maybe we will do a trailer tier list one of these days :D
One thing I want to add to the CN version: I don't know if this is because of the language the way it works or not but when she's talking about the sadness parts, it kinda sounds like she's swallowing the last syllables of the sentence, similar to how people do it when they're in the verge of crying, like you can't end your sentence properly. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it really adds a lot to the scene imo.
Thanks for always acknowledging me as the best ever :P I’m sorry is don’t comment very often but I look always get excited when I see a video always love the star tail stuff but it would be cool to see your reactions to other things too!! Keep it up
Ahaha, I gotchu 😎 and no need to apologize at all! Happy to make content that other people enjoy, and I'm glad you like the channel I would love to get into other games someday and react to other stuff when I have more free time
I was in love with this trailer so much!!! I can’t wait to see more of sparkle in the story because she’s such an interesting character! Another amazing video Tsuki!!! Keep up the fantastic videos!! 🫶🫶
It's always fun listening to other languages for stuff like this. I can't understand a word of what they're saying for the most part, so I need to rely on the actors tone and emotion behind each line for context outside of the subtitles. CN definitely had a more creepy vibe to it, but JP really hit that combination of playful and unhinged that I like about Sparkle's character.
Yeah! I really like the creepy, unhinged whisper at the end in the CN version. Very cool! Also agree about the JP version. I loved the playful quirkiness the VA captured. It definitely suits Sparkle
The biggest differentiator for me is how well the VA separates the Sparkle tied on the altar (I... I'm not Sparkle) to the eyes watching from above (No, I am Sparkle). CN and JP do a good job separating the two while EN less so.
When i watched the jp one for the first time, when act 3 came, it gave ne lingering goosebumps... Though i got to say, while i mostly prefer the jp one, i do like the wispering at the end of the cn ver.
Yeah, I think if I had to pick just one, the JP one is probably the one I'd pick as my favorite, but I agree about the ending of the CN one. That whisper is SO haunting and creepy, which is so fitting for this trailer!
i usually prefer the CN voices for characters (bc i started playing in CN so im heavily biased), but her JP voice has something i simply can’t not describe behind it, if it was possible to mix voice languages i would do it just to hear her JP voice
I really like the CN version. Reminds me a lot of Jingliu's CN voice with the barely contained madness.
The CN one is great! I LOVE that whisper at the end. It really captures the vibe of the trailer and is such a great vocal choice on the VA's part imo.
I like both english and japanese but I cant say anything for CN cause it seems like Im tone deaf for CN language, everything sounds the same to me :(

I enjoyed hearing you talk about the nuances of the Sparkle voices. It's as if you were taste testing fine wine
Thank you! It was honestly really fun to rewatch this trailer and just focus solely on the voice acting. There are so many little intricacies
Same, this was really interesting and made me pay attention to so much more.

Damn... Ganyu be wilding
Indeed, she really do the perfect "annoying but lovely troll chara" with Hanabi. You can feel the essence of the character on her voice. 😊
hoyo always gets really good voice actors for all the languages
I don't know if there were any disappointing characters at all in HSR. Such a talented bunch.

Seriously so good! I don't think there's a single character whose voice I dislike. The VA's are all incredible 👏👏
Her CN VA really hit the absolutely unhinged vibe at the end.

@@himetsukich Tier lists are silly and fun. Someday, when you have the time :D
Awesome picking up on the little details i wouldnt notice. Ty hime
I love that you always really get into the video not only react but also analysing and reviewing, keep up the amazing work!

Also literally space joker btw.
1 day 1 day 1 day 1 day
CN is very much goated, but Jp comes second for me
I like that this reaction is so focused on the voice acting.
Crazy Ueshama is... no words, I bow... Also I keep having this vision of Gigi in Hanabi outfit, help.
I still can't believe that Ganyu shares the JP VA with sparkle 😮
I can bear your mic picking up you smacking your lips btw.
Good 😎
Dislike to everyone who ignores the JP version!
Japanese dub ftw
JP dub was VERY good! 👏
