HiBiKi Channel #50 w/ Nishio Yuka [2019.10.07] Episode Notes

• Oyu started DJing after talking with a DJ at an event she performed at. The DJ casually told her to try DJing and, since her motto is "torieaezu YES", she agreed immediately. She uses a DDJ-400 DJ controller!

• For horse racing, Oyu generally bets "Quinella Place", which is any two of the three top placed horses disregarding order. She's also good at picking out the dark horse, so she generally goes with the dark horse + one that's more favored to win

• She really likes a race horse called Orfevre and even has DVDs of him. She loves how he was so temperamental yet talented
• Fellow HiBiKi seiyuu Aiba Aina also likes horse racing but they haven't gotten to talking about it yet

For horse racing predictions...

Oyu factors the horse's age, jockey's body weight, and how suited the horse is for the course distance. Each race track is also different, like some are more hilly. Different horses are better at certain courses

cont.

She also pays attention to how they performed at major races and tends to fluff up the 2nd place horse, while also noting that there can be a huge different between 1st place and 2nd place.

cont.

Because of this, she also pays attention to the time differences between 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. at races
and finally... feelings.
Oyu said it's fine to just go with the horse you like

• She likes various types of music but if she had to pick, her favorite genres are anisong and rock. Some things she likes: anime openings, electronic sounds, metal, and flashy high tempo songs

• Elements Garden got her into anisong. Whenever she'd look up who wrote songs she liked, it often ended up being Elements Garden and she'd think "ah, again"
• She likes songs written by Tabuchi Tomoya from UNISON SQUARE GARDEN and Horie Shota from PENGUIN RESEARCH

• The first CD Oyu bought was Ichirin no Hana by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR in elementary school. It was an opening theme for Bleach, which she was also got really into (it was what turned her into an otaku). She bought all the mangas and DVDs and tons of goods

• Before Bleach, she read light novels like Shakugan no Shana.
• Oyu also got into HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR itself, though she never got to attend one of their lives. She still follows the activities of one of their vocalists, Mākii

• She has mountains of classical music since she plays the violin
• She distinctly remembers her Dango 3 Kyodai CD. She muses about how the later parts of the song aren't often played (like the Hamtaro theme song) so when you get farther it's like "oh that's how the lyrics go"

• Oyu is interested in seiyuu work but she has lots of hobbies and wants to try out lots of things. For example, she's glad to be part of D4DJ and thankful for her prior DJ experience even though she started on a whim. She'd also like to do something related to horse racing

• Oyu was interested in card games even before she got her role in Rebirth, so she has "like 20 cardboard boxes" of cards at home. She didn't really have friends to play card games with so she'd buy starter decks for people (including her sister) and make them play with her
