Q3: The scene where Naruto confessed his feelings to Hinata, in my opinion, is a really important point to see.

Junko Takeuchi: About that, in the movie, I think that the most important thing to me is the part where Naruto is growing up. However when I was casted[during casting], it felt like an older female relative peeking at a “nephew’s” first confession

 

See how she masterfully avoided answering that question? the way she answered the questions in this interview were definitely interesting, I'd like to have seen more of her interviews, one that question alone it seems like she's not exactly happy about the pairings.

I still want a solid translation. I don't want to start telling people she's done voicing him in movies only to find out that, that isn't what is being said.

 

True. But either way, either way I'm not watching

This makes sense considering Naruto will be much older in future movies. Therefore a new voice actor makes sense.

Yeah, they tried to do that once with Goku voice actor when he grew up. It was only featured in one episode.
The next week his old VA was back, because of the backleash, everyone basically turned off their tv's. Japanese people know that they have that power so they use it.

When you loose your main hero's VA, you know that something wrong it's going on.

Well she maybe voicing Naruto in the Bolt movie now we don't know. All we know is she won't voice Bolt.

Junko Takeuchi is awesome!!

I feel bad for her since apparently she still has to work on that jerks SP. Imagine if they decide to pull more retcon NH fillers, ugh.

Junko seems a really nice person, and she was definitely pro-NaruSaku.  There's an older interview where she said she was looking forward to seeing how Naruto and Sakura's relationship would develop in Shippuden/Part 2 of the manga.

 

It must have been horrible for her to work through the movie, it's just not the same Naruto Uzumaki that we all know and love. 

 

The movie is a definite train wreck in Japan, there are a lot of angry fans who went to see the movie and didn't like what they saw.  Pretty much the only happy people are the ones who didn't really care about the story/characters and only wanted to see NaruHina become canon.  Even some NaruHina fans didn't like the new movie, because they felt it was all hollow and artificial.

It's nice to see Naruto's VA coming out in favor of a pairing. I would imagine that's a job hazard of being a VA — if you ship the wrong pair you could be catching grief for it at conventions the rest of your life. That being said, it's nice to read of her support of her character and his hopes. It lends an authenticity the same way Ed's American VA form FMA did. You absolutely can't imagine it being anyone else.

 

As far as the other VA's though, like Sakura's, I don't hold it against her for shipping SS, or for being silent about Sakura's unresolved ending. This is her job. No matter what she likes or doesn't like, there's nothing she can do about it. And if she comes out against her character's ship or life course, it could cost her money and credibility.

for the record, it seemed bolt was voiced by Konohamaru's seiyuu. That's why she refused to voice Bolt, as she promised 2 years ago (2 years ago eh...not 20)

I don't think Junko's angry as some make her out to be. It would also be improper for her to stop voicing Naruto. Voice actors are a thing in Japan. Now Junko saying she wanted to voice Naruto's kid to the director and Kishi herself, but now declining (or being declined) to voice Bolt is suspicious.

[六道仙人]

it's suspicious as kitten, of course lol
