Kiro: That thick door, and the noise behind there that doesn't reach me at all. Even if something happens on this side, it will not have any effect on the outside.
Kiro: This is fine. Any harm won’t come to her.
Kiro: The sound of the approaching footsteps of the enemy echoes, and the sound of destruction of Evol too.
Kiro: I’m on the alert and get prepared, waiting for that time.
Victor: Is it when she came to LFG without an appointment and dared to fighting head-on with me? When she was almost run over by a car and just saved by me? When she saved me the same way as when we were kids?

- Question Corner -
Q. July 3rd is the special day when Lovepro (Koipro) was released. Like a birthdays or anniversaries, How do you (Kakihara-san) spend your special day?
A. Special day...? For example, when it comes to special day, it's must be a birthday. Speaking of birthday, I (Kakihara) mostly... Oh right, there’re some people who don’t know my (Kakihara) birthday. Kakihara’s birthday is on December 24th, coincide with Christmas Eve.
A. Such a special day as Christmas Eve, December 24th, and my birthday. Every year, from my colleague, seniors who took care of me, to my juniors, all of them, clearing their schedule, then somehow from night, we have drinking party all the way to the morning, they hold, they hold my birthday party, and we always doing that.
A. On that special day, we sometimes make a bit of fuss together, that was me in the last few years.
.
Q. Kiro’s Evol is “Absolute Charm”, Do you (Kakihara-san) have any special abilities you want?
A. Y...yeah. Certainly Kiro’s Absolute Charm, it’s incredible. Because...you know, When you think “ that person seems nice, I want to get along with that person” If not, I myself am a man, so...older sister-chan seems nice.
A. B...but, in the end, Kiro is truly handsome, he is originally a person who working only in the entertainments, who has been at the top place, plus he has Evol, isn't it too organized?
A. If someone like me, who already became a uncle, suddenly have Absolute Charm Evol. When the first time I using it, everyone will think “Huh! what is this little uncle talking about?”, ...That’s why, if I have such a big abilities like that, I’m not proud of it. I really want a small, small is okay, a small abilities that I can do.
A. So I can make everyone in the entire world be happy.
.
Q. If Kiro, Gavin, Lucien, and Victor run 500m (meters) with all their might, Who do you think will win? Please tell us in the version with interference in EVOL and the version without it / in a simple physical fitness match.
A. First of all, I want to ask. Why 500m??
A. I mean...wait, when we are high school or junior high student, the race competition is 100m, if it’s primary school, it will be 50m. Even the world standard now is 500, right? But there’re still complaints about 400m. Does 500m really exist?? I haven’t heard of that.
A. I got it. Let's think about that 500m calmly. 500m huh...who will win? Because I’m voicing Kiro, I want to say it’s Kiro, but if I do that, I will feel sorry to other characters and for everyone who are present here.
A. Wait, let's thinking about it from voice actors' side. Okay, hmm...Sugita-san (JP Victor’s VA), Hirakawa-san (JP Lucien’s VA), Onoyuu (JP Gavin’s VA), and I, Kakihara (JP Kiro’s VA). If these four people do 500m race...*laughed
A. Huh? me? It must be me, right?! Like...you know, Onoyuu's legs and waist were injured from the soccer in the past, so he can’t run. For Sugita-san..."Are you idiot?! I didn’t become a voice actor because I wanted to run!”, So he will abstain in the first place.
A. For Hirakawa-san, “But Kakki, I, I’m a grandpa”. Even though he looks so young from all of us, he shows himself as a grandfather. ...That means, the person who demonstrate the most effective ability from the beginning is..., Hirakawa-san!

[JP] Love and Producer: Pronouns + Speech Style Analysis
This post is about what pronouns and speech style the bois used in JP version. Unlike Chinese/Mandarin and English, in Japanese, there’re many honorifics used by different people's personalities with many formal and informal social situations.
Japanese grammar, as a whole, tends to function on hierarchy; honorific stems are appended to verbs and many nouns, primarily names, and in many cases one word may be exchanged for another word entirely with the same verb or noun meaning, but with different honorific connotations. (Wikipedia)
Prepare your snack and drink, this is gonna be a very long post.
P.S I’m using Gavin vs Shaw battle in episode 6 because they cursing each other using their “speech style”.
.
First of all, let’s arrange some of JP word speech based on the bois...
“CEO Victor”
俺 (Ore) = I
私 (Watashi) = I [Formal]
おまえ (Omae) = You
きみ (Kimi) / あなた (Anata) = You [Formal]
バカ (Baka) = Dummy
来い (Koi) = Come here
“Prof. Lucien”
僕 (Boku) [Lucien] / 私 (Watashi) [Ares] = I
きみ (Kimi) [Lucien] / おまえ (Omae) [Ares] = You
馬鹿 / ばか (Baka) = Silly
おいで (Oide) = Come here
“Captain Gavin”
俺 (Ore) = I
自分 (Jibun) / 僕 (Boku) = I [Formal]
おまえ (Omae) = You
馬鹿 (Baka) = Silly
来い (Koi) = Come here
“Idol-Hacker Kiro”
オレ (Ore) [Kiro] / 俺 (Ore) [Helios] = I
キミ (Kimi) [Kiro] / おまえ (Omae) [Helios] = You
ばか (Baka) = Silly
こっちに来て (Kochi ni kite) = Come here
“College Student Shaw”
俺 (Ore) = I
アンタ (Anta) = You
バカ (Baka) = Silly
来いよ (Koi yo) = Come here
...
Can you see it, the different words with same meaning that used by each of the bois?
.
[Character Personality Description from Evol x Love JP Official Website]
CEO Victor is Huarui (LFG) Group’s CEO. He started Huarui in college, and climbed to the top of financial world in eight years. He’s also the investor of MC’s Company and the one who holds its fate. His personality is decisive and strict. He thinks rules is above all else than emotion, and he acts only for the benefit of the company. He hates spending time and money meaninglessly. He looks cold at first glance, but he also has a gentle side, such as approaching the weak things.
Since he is Tsundere, the most perfect pronouns for him is “Ore and Omae”
Hakutaichou: “I’ll explain his speech analysis with Gavin...”
.
Captain Gavin is a EVOL special officer. He ostensibly works at Loveland City Police Station as an ordinary police officer. He is a lone wolf and brave man. He has absolute trust in the person he admits. He has his own policy, and doesn’t mind being misunderstood by others. He has his own right and wrong views, sometimes he acts out of the rules of the world.
Same as Victor, Gavin’s pronouns is “Ore and Omae” which usually used by cold-ruthless-hold power character in otome world. but what makes their personality different is on their “Silly/Idiot” word.
Victor’s バカ (Baka) in “Katakana”, and Gavin’s 馬鹿 (Baka) in “Kanji”
Where’s the difference? its from their speech style, Victor said “Baka” with decisive personality, meanwhile Gavin said it with polite personality.
if you can't tell the difference, you can hear some dialog from both of them in Chapter 26-27 (Gavin talking to guard in facility vs Victor met Leto in cargo ship)
.
Professor Lucien is an authoritative scientist in neuroscientist community. He is a Elite who has returned from studying aboard. He’s known to the public as a guest professor at Loveland University. He has an amazing memory, that he will never forget what he saw once, and his IQ and EQ are high. He treats everyone politely, which in turn makes people feel that there is a sense of distance. No one knows his true nature and purpose.
Lucien is a “yasashii” gentle person with mysterious aura, he always make a smiling face to everyone, but at the same times he’s emotionless boi and had a dark personality he hides from them. His pronouns is “Boku and Kimi”, which sometimes used by intelligent/educated-gentle character in otome world.
As if a kind man with a many hidden motive (from bad thing to possessive thing) who wanted his loved one to come closer to him, “Oide” is the most “Come Here” word that used by a same character type as Lucien.
When he acted as Ares, his pronouns changed to “Watashi/Boku and Omae” or “Watashi and Anata [Anime only]” because his personality also changed to ruthless-polite person, but sometimes turned back to his “Boku and Kimi” when talking to MC only.
Lucien/Ares to MC: You (Kimi), can’t hurt yourself.
Ares to BS Member: What do you (Omae) know?
If you need more references, there’re some of gentle mysterious characters who voiced by Lucien’s JP VA, Hirakawa-san which using “Boku and Kimi” or “Watashi and Anata” for their pronouns, like Saint-Germain from Code: Realize.
.
Idol-Hacker Kiro is a super popular idol who has been active since childhood. He wasn’t easy on his way, but he got over it with an optimistic personality. He is as bright as the sun, attractive and straightforward personality. He is mischievous, childish, and smart. He likes a mediocre life, sometimes disguises himself to go to convenience stores, and walk around the city. In addition to his occupation as a idol, he also has multiple identities and his true purpose.
That’s why, Kiro’s “Come here” is “Kochi ni kite”, that words same as persuade people, even kids to come closer, not like “Oide” or “Koi”, you can feel the owner’s very warm tone from that words.
Plus because Kiro once lived in America, his pronouns (Ore and Kimi) using “Katakana” not “Kanji/Hiragana” like others.
*Katakana: one of japanese writing system, usually used to write words that come from foreign languages that have been absorbed into Japanese
Kiro: Always stay by my (Ore [Katakana]) side.
.
But when Kiro become Helios, besides swapped personality from warm innocent to cold ruthless mode, his pronouns also changed to Victor and Gavin’s pronouns (Ore and Omae).
Helios: Leave the rest to me (Ore [Kanji])
.
Shaw [Error 404: Not found]
Since Shaw’s encounter with MC are still few...I’ll analyzed him from main chapter side and some of Date only.
Because Shaw is a arrogant gangster with polite attitude person, his pronouns is “Ore and Anta”
俺 (Ore) is from his arrogant personality, meanwhile アンタ (Anta) is informal pronoun of あなた (Anata) from his polite one.
.
.
[Extra]
“She/Her and He/Him”
There’s no specific “She/Her” and “He/Him” pronouns in Japanese. All of japanese people calling each other using their name (except: their mom, auntie, grandma, etc).
What if we didn’t remember their name? you can use “You” for calling them.
And if you want to talking about someone, you can use “Ano hito”, “Ano ko”, “Ano yarou” which have one main meaning is, “That person”.
.
Back to the main topic. In Main Chapters, MC like to call every love interests with their name, not “You” in dialog script.
MC: Haku, Zen, Kira, Helios, Simon, Ares, Shou.
And MC sometimes using “Kare” instead the boys’ name in description, or her inner mind.
彼 / カレ (Kare) means He/Him, sometimes used for close relationship like “Boyfriend”.
.
Besides using MC’s name, Victor, Lucien, Kiro, and Gavin also using “Kanojo” to calling MC, meanwhile Shaw in early chapter called MC as “Ano ko” (That Girl) before changed to “Kanojo” in Chapter 19+
彼女 (Kanojo) means She/Her, usually used for close relationship such as...“Girlfriend”.
.
That’s why...In episode 6 (Chapter 11)
JP Shaw: Maa demo...honki de “Ano ko” wo mamoritai nara, anna tokoro totto yameru nda na.
[Real ENG] JP Shaw: Well... if you really want to protect “That girl”, you’d better leave that place (STF) immediately.
JP Gavin: “Kanojo” wo te o dasu na!
[Real ENG] JP Gavin: Don’t you dare to touch MY GIRL!
Note #1: アンタ (Anta) is the informal version of アナタ (Anata)
Note #2: 松竹ウメ (Shochiku Ume) or 松竹梅 (Shochikubai) is the combination of Pine, Bamboo, and Plum, which based on “Three Friends of Winter”, Chinese’s art motif.
“Attention: To commemorate the anniversary of this unit and our beloved captain’s birthday, we will make the whole room into a festive party. Sorry for the inconvenience and please cooperate with us”

- Question Corner -
Q. How did you feel when you were in charge of Gavin's voice at first? Please let me know if there is any change in your mind after a year.
A. When it comes to feelings, it’s like something very magnificent. *looking at the poster behind him.
A. As you can see, Gavin looks so handsome and refreshing in here. At first, I said “Is it alright for me?” on the recording site. Among them now, as I contacting as a character, turns out he has a cute part, therefore he is serious, there’re also some parts in him that have gone a little too far.
.
Q. If you have Wind Control like Gavin and fly freely, is there a place you want to fly the most?
A. Hmm...Gavin’s, his ability must be strong, can control the wind, it can be said to be able to fly. And you can use that kind of high ability that much....
A. The place I want to fly the most? Hmm...where is it? Well, a place like that Kingdom of Clouds, like a certain cat type robot. Although...it’s the movie version, it’s like I want to ride the wind clouds, I have that kind of feeling.
Note: He is referring to Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds.
.
Q. “When I voiced the character, I became more fond of the character I voiced!” Did you have any episodes or scenes that makes you like that? I would love to hear from you!
A. As I said before, Gavin, in his first encounter, for a while he is in the role of police officer. Like his first appearance, he looks kind of hideous and hard to get along with.
A. But as time goes by, the distance gets closer, the tone of his voice is also become softer, he talk about his feelings, and just like that. As if the distance between me and Gavin is shortened. Li...Like a scenario parts in his Phone Calls, and also in some parts of it in Main Story.
A. As we can see in his Phone Calls nor Dates, Gavin showing his “degree of naturalness”. Around that, I have a kind of feeling that I become more fond to Gavin.

Will the world evolve into cruel colosseum or be eliminated?
After 300 million years of human history, you're finally awakened, and a gene named QUEEN is flowing in your blood.
Is this a creation of hope for change? or a destroyer? Swallowing desire and ambition, which one do you choose?
Experience a space-time encounter, step into a trap of temptation, and be embraced by a love that transcends reality.
