translation by Mel:

The people there were Morita-san, Orikasa-san, Itou-san, Abe Director, and instead of Kudou-san we had Okino (not sure if Okino is the name) Producer

The purpose was to record each comments made while watching the movie and make an audio commentary and also to answer the questionnaires that was taken before the event started
There were over 2000 submissions
Kubo-sensei drew Rukia's picture in her letter that she left in the movie
The letter or either the drawing, done on the sibling's letter to Rukia,was done by Director Abe's son
Morita-san make a fervent speech about how Rukia is important to Ichigo
Morita-san says Ichigo's starting point is Rukia
As Rukia's existence and memory becomes vague, Ichigo's himself becomes unclear and becomes worried and impatient, said Morita-san
Also Morita-san said something like if Rukia is not next to Ichigo he feels uncomfortable? he feels something like that
In this year's work Rukia's memories become something like puzzle pieces and Ichigo repaired them back together, said Orikasa-san
Since the theme was Back To The Beginning the power giving thing was reversed
Okino producer said in that scene it was filled with Ichigo's feelings towards Rukia
How was Dark Rukia's fight when she fought against Ichigo? asks Orikasa-san, Morita-san answers
"With strength Ichigo is way more powerful than Rukia, but Ichigo can't cut Rukia, he can't hurt her" etc.
Ichigo who steps back as Rukia encloses on him
About the scene "It is overfilled with Ichigo's emotions about not wanting to fight Rukia" and "It was painful"
Asked about bond with Rukia, Morita-san said "Well, they aren't lovers but they aren't exactly friends either"
Okino "Yeah, I guess its precious nakama"
Morita "I guess, but they are not exactly nakama as well"

Next they talked about the soundtrack, about the sibling's name, about Zabimaru's ride, how good Nii-sama is.....
In the conversation of Zabimaru's ride, Orikasa-san said "Next time I want it to be a 3 people ride" (Ichigo, Renji, Rukia)
The cut out scene in the movie (the cut out scene was Ichigo and Rukia in front of Kon leaving together, just the 2 of them)
According to Okino he thought the sad scene during in the ending of the movie (when the siblings died) would be ruined if Rukia was all happy after she was exhausted physically and mentally in the movie.
However today that scene was not cut out and it will also be in the DVD
I can't tell you their conversation cause its a promise with Morita-san but Ichigo and Rukia are standing in front of the gate in a twilight. According to Orikasa-san its "Like returning to the SS arc days"
The recording of the audio commentary was finished and we had a 10 minutes break. After that the curtains were up again
Orikasa-san sits in the middle making Morita-san, Itou-san, even Abe-director and Okino kneel to the ground 9I guess this just emphasizes how important Orikasa was )
Answers the question that was gathered together before the event started
If you get to play as another character who will it be and Morita-san answers "Aizen-sama"
Orikasa-san "If male, Nii-sama (during a part of the audio commentary she put on Nii-sama's voice" and if female Yachiru"
Itou-san "Kyouraku-taichou". Abe director and Okino didn't say anything..
Next question "Rukia's charm?"
Morita-san "Her gag, how she puts in her all in Shinigami Daikou-nikki and her everyday role"
Similar to Morita-san Itou-san said "How she was in high spirits, yet reserved herself at times when she was in her gigai to experience school life"
Okino said "Everything! I really like Rukia, I want to do Rukia (answered the previous question) and Morita-san joked "Please don't say "I want to do Rukia"
Then they talking about the anime original story that's going to start July. According to them they put in a lot of effort when making a story about the female shinigamis going to the beach __________________




LOL, it's official--Morita is the biggest IchiRuki fanboi ever! And there's an extra Ichigo and Rukia scene in the DVD! Yays!

Comments

[deathlike.livejournal.com]

Morita only 15% impure... Too many non-BL Drama CD he does.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

IF HE ONLY DID BL DRAMA! He could do one with Non-tan and my fangirl life would be complete! XD

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

"I want to do Rukia." ?

...That sounds so wrong. (Seems Morita agrees with that sentiment)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

That freaking cracked me up. Morita defending Rukia's honor like that. He's so adorable I want to smoosh him.

[bunnisteffi.livejournal.com]

'...do Rukia', does the connotations carry the same weight as it does in English? XD

Oh. The DVD! Do you think that the subbing groups will add in the extra scene, too?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

It's not just a fan service it's a bloody fan LURE but yeah, I'll cave for this one. I was going to buy the DVD anyway. <3

[escarboucle.livejournal.com]

LOL, of course they don't know, but for this special date to be on the same day as the FC's anniversary, I'm very happy! This gift is sure welcome here XD

I love Morita's boldness lol XD He's such an IchiRuki fanboy, seriously XD

Also, they're not friends, not lovers... yes, they're in the TOTAL UST ZONE :yell For our great pleasure (no pun intended XD)!

[cutepoison89.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh I freakin' love Morita for saying this!!He's such a shipper <3 Can't wait for the movie!

[gully-moe.livejournal.com]

Can't wait!

Question Marks

[(Anonymous)]

Uhm...I really don't get how this makes Morita-san a fan of Ichigo and Rukia (as in shipper). Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Ichigo and Rukia but I really don't read too much into things like that. It's not that he's saying that he wants them together, he's just trying to explain their relationship. I would probably have to listen to the audio and get more information on it than to jump the gun and say that he is a fanboy of the pairing.

Sorry if it brings down people or you take this to offense. It's just that; from a logical and non-biased stance, it seems as if it isn't in support of an actual pairing, rather than there are some things that aren't defined by "boyfriend" "girlfriend" "Lovers" "friends". Which in some cases doesn't make sense.

Re: Question Marks

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

If you weren't posting anonymously, I might take you for an actual "fan of Ichigo and Rukia (as in shipper)." As a lot of followers of bleachness and Morita's interviews know, Morita is always saying stuff like this and the fandom is always joking about how he ships IchiRuki. Morita has called Ichigo's words about Rukia "romantic" and has gone to all kinds of fanboi lengths to show his enthusiam for the pair.

From a logic and non-biased stance, the guy is a shipper. From a bitter and "don't rock the ships" stance, one isn't allowed to interpret anything anyone says because a shipper somewhere might get butt-hurt.

Re: Question Marks

[annie-08.livejournal.com]

I was waiting for "anon's" comment claiming to be an IchiRuki fan who just happened to fail to understand how anything and everything could be IchiRuki. We get that a lot as always. There is always an anon IchiRuki who ends up not believe anything should or could be in favor of IchiRuki. I mean, Who cares if he says Rukia means so much to Ichigo coz he isn't saying they will make out, right?

Nah, you aren't bringing anyone down because I believe no one is confused as you. Reading his comments and his previous ones, fans who familiar with him know why we are calling him an IchiRuki fan. But I don't think you should bother though since you're logical and unbias.

Re: Question Marks

[khyata.livejournal.com]

And by 'logical and non-biased' you really mean 'damp squib', then I fully concur.

With your all seeing eye of logic and non-bias, allow this particular loony shipper to point out to you, that none of us here hail Morita as the harbinger of IchiRuki Truisms™, and almost all of us here have a firm grip on reality thankyouverymuch.

You don't need to be a shipper to see how Morita gushes over IchiRuki. This interview is just the latest in a long line of interviews where he has gone on and on about IchiRuki and their precious/undefinable/miracle bond etcetera. And the descriptive words I've listed above are all his, not mine.

None of us here are declaring CANON over his words, we're only calling a spade a spade, bias/non-bias or otherwise. But what do I know, since by your illustriously unbiased standards, I qualify as a daffy shipper, so well.

[(Anonymous)]

I laughed so hard while reading this I thought that even the voice actors of Bleach are shipping IchiRuki xD not just fans of Bleach xD

[mikaoru.livejournal.com]

:fangirl

I already have a crush on Morita-kun and he keeps it feeding it :D Haha this has to be one of my best days in the year <33 I'm a happy fangirl and i'm SO pre-ordering the DVD.

The only thing that is left here for people who are 'slow' is the word FANBOI wrote in his forehead

Really.

Doesn't have a LJ count out of laziness xD

[(Anonymous)]

Soooo cute xD I have read a lot of Bleach interviews (waiting for the next chapter xD) It's hard to keep up with their names though but I find it cute how Morita (if I remember correctly) is an IchiRuki fan. But damn, I want to see this movie already :D If this isn't a complete IchiRukiness then I don't know what is xD

[theinkmonkey.livejournal.com]

Cannot wait cannot wait. Three months three months ;_;

Morita morita fanboy fanboy.

[haya5h1.livejournal.com]

SO PRE-ORDERING.♥

[chuuni.livejournal.com]

I've been convinced Morita was a shipper and the only thing I ever listened to with him in it was the Bleach "B" Station for Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, and ORIHIME.

That being said, Yuki Matsuoka ships Ulquihime already.

[karenai.livejournal.com]

If I read your statement correctly, it seems you're saying that you picked up that Morita was an ichiruki shipper from the B station with the seiyuu for Ulqui, GJ, and Orihime? lol. I do know that he considers SS the "Ichigo and Rukia arc" and HM the "Orihime arc", which is a very.. precise comparison.

[antoinetteiv.livejournal.com]

Oh how cute =O
~doesn't even know who the hell Morita is but will go along with it because I should O_O~

Ichigo and Rukia are so cute together from what I've seen so yay to Morita!

[annie-08.livejournal.com]

Morita is Ichigo's japanese voice actor a.k.a IchiRuki #1 fanboy. He's friend with Kubo and they often talk about how he should voice Ichigo and tries to understand Ichigo's character. So we joked Kubo and him probably fanboy about IchiRuki often since a guy never missed the opportunity to gush about IchiRuki and I have yet to hear he ever mention Orihime with Ichigo. Debbie can show you the whole lots of his interviews. He even said he created a new voice for FTB because that is the Ichigo who's trying hard to save Rukia and realised how important Rukia is to him.

[ylla19.livejournal.com]

LOL. Morita-kun yet again bared his IchiRuki fanboy self. Well, I'm not sure if he's even trying to conceal it. XD

I so love him! >w< HAHAHA! I love how he disagreed even with the "precious nakama" statement. Haaaaah... Morita-kun. XD

[shuimei.livejournal.com]

Bleach has been super bo~ring for me lately and I just have not been active in the fandom but this just totally made me squeal like little fangirl! Morita's comments just made me gush with love! It's always so nice to have our own thoughts and feelings of the pairing reinforced by others involved in the production like Kubo in the past and so many times with Morita ♥

Thanks for sharing this with us Debbie, and much love to Mel as always for translating~ ♥

[kaiserkawaii.livejournal.com]

i love Morita!!! hahahah...

[autumnsoliloquy.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy to see this. Gosh, more things to look forward to during the second half of the year. *squees*
