Title: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Cherry tiger on June 08 2005, 04:15 pm
I've realised in this board that there are some who like Tange Sakura and some who don't. And then there are some who like Sakura's new seiyuu... and some who don't.

So make your pick and let's see which is the most favoured seiyuu.

Me? I'm going with Tange Sakura. She may be squeeky and high-pitched, but it's Sakura... she made Sakura stand out among the lot. She made Sakura unique...

Not to say that Yui Makino's really bad or anything. She's good (although a little bit inexperienced) but I suppose Tange Sakura made a great impression on me on Sakura. Meh... so what do you guys think?

Sakura Tange just IS Sakura to me.
The first time I watched Cardcaptor Sakura I was amazed with her voice.
It was SO different than anything I had heard from an English speaking voice actor.
I guess that's why I can't watch dubs, I've gotten used to the Japanese Seiyuu and expect more than a U.S. voice actor is capable of.

I also love the new Sakura.
I think her voice is very pleasant and sounds like an older Sakura.
I think she's doing very well for all that she has to live up to coming after Sakura Tange.

Both are suit to me ^________^ But i will pick Yui Makino because noone pick her :D
Somes say that the new seiyu of Sakura is annoying, but I don't think so... She do great with it :D

I don't think it's a fair comparison. Sakura from CCS is not the same character from Tsubasa.  It's not just that their ages (CCS Sakura was much younger), but the direction the story is going.  Also, there could be so many factors that determine why Makino Yui "acts" like that.  The director could be deliberately telling her to speak not too confidently because that's what's appropriate for the character.

Very good observation. Thanks for pointing it out. But to me, I was looking at it pretty much in general (Yeah, I did sound a little too judgemental didn't I? Sorry!) Since I'm seeing it as this 'Who really sounds like Sakura'.

i voted Tange Sakura...

like Sakaki said.. she IS Sakura to me.. hehe..

You don't need to apologize for your opinion :)  I totally understood what you meant, but I was also trying to be fair to both seiyuu.  Personally, I would have also wanted to hear Sakura Tange reprise her role, but for whatever reason, Makino Yui got the part.

Sakura Tange's voice is magnificent as Sakura and so is Makino Yui.  Either one fits...but I really don't think we should compare the seiyuu's for TRC right now because sooner or later TRC is gonna get licensed and just imagine the horror of the dubbed voices.  @.@;
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Airi on June 09 2005, 09:58 am
I'm voting for Sakura Tange, Yui Horie, or Ayako Kawasumi that would fit for Sakura's voice ^^
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Brad on June 17 2005, 11:30 pm
Tange Sakura all the way. I'm not saying so because she's a better actress, but the new gal just annoys the Hell out of me! Her first line in the first episode almost made me change chanels (seriously, it's just really annoying!)
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: scarecrow_wingz on June 19 2005, 12:48 am
it really depends. tange sakura is perfect for 10yo sakura...

but actually...i think yui makino acts really weakly for tsubasa
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Kyle Rondart on June 19 2005, 05:32 am
I voted for Yui Makino cuz she's new & she can really sing too. Another reason I voted for her is cuz Sakura Tange has no voice range at all.
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Little Star on June 19 2005, 09:05 am
So, I don't think that is a good comparisson...Sakura Tange did to little Sakura in ccs
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Brad on June 19 2005, 09:58 am
But the thing is the Tsubasa Sakura is still speaking like a 10 year old! I'm guessing the Tsubasa Sakura is around 15-17. If the voice was dramatically different like, say,  a real teenager voice, then this would be a strange argument.
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Kyle Rondart on June 19 2005, 12:22 pm
I did some research & it seems that Yui Makino was a stage actress before she was a seiyuu. That might be part of the reason some of you feel she can't act that well. She's a teenage stage actress. On top of that she's worked with Yoko Kanna like Maaya Sakamoto.

Post by: Cherry tiger on June 22 2005, 11:29 am
I kinda agree that Yui Makino will be able to sing really well. (Heard she's going to sing for the movie? @.@) But I really liked Tange Sakura's voice... When she sings, I can really imagine Sakura singing. I don't think her singing range is limited. Have you ever heard 'Release my heart'? I thought she sang really well there.

Yui Makino sings Omna Magni from Sousei no Aquarion. Really cute song with lots of Latin.

tange sakura wouldn't suite the teenage sakura

either that or yui makino is acting like that on purpose since sakura hasn't gotten  many feathers yet...

waa~! sakura TRC voice is soooo kawaii! ^___^ me wonna hear sakura CCS sing too...lalalala~ >___^
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Cherry tiger on June 25 2005, 12:42 am
Thanks, Kurorin! Now you've shown me that Yui Makino has some redeeming points. I love her voice in there! I hope she does a character song for TRC Sakura. Heck, I hope most of the characters in there does... ^^

Well, I agree that Sakura's voice should sound a little more grown up but somehow, Yui Makino's voice didn't feel up to par.

Why I started this topic was because I realised that some people have a thing with both of Sakura's seiyuus in both TRC and CCS. I don't have a thing with Yui Makino... I know I'll get used to her voice sooner or later (which I am!).
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: bLuetopaz on June 25 2005, 04:46 am
yeah, i agree with Cherry Tiger that the voices of Sakura should be different because in Tsubasa Chronicles, she was supposed to have grown to a teenager.. likewise for Syaoran..

i had got this song from CCS OST 4 and i tried to search for the singer of the song.. and it showed Tange Sakura sang it..

Song title - Hitotsudake

Well, Tsubasa is a completely different anime from CCS so I don't think that they even considered getting the same seiyuu. Personally, I think Yui Makino is fine. I think the character of Sakura was supposed to have a weak outer appearance but be strong on the inside.

Personally, I like both seiyuu but if I had to choose between the two, I'd go with Sakura's Tsubasa seiyuu.  I like how it sounds more gentle and it just sounds more natural to me.  You have to admit that Tange-san makes Sakura sound so unnaturally squeaky and high-pitched, even for a ten year old Japanese girl.  Sakura's Tsubasa seiyuu just feels more natural to me somehow.  Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Tange-san retire?  So, even if Tsubasa wasn't an AU to CCS, I don't think they would've been able to use Tange-san as Sakura, anyway.
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Kyle Rondart on June 30 2005, 10:06 pm
I don't think so. She just hasn't been very active lately. The last anime I think she was in was Infinite Ryvius. So then again maybe she did.
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Light_Card on July 01 2005, 07:11 am
if i make a real effort to notice then yeah i think that they speak in diffrent ways but they both sound so good that either of them work  for me. Of course i'm just giddy grateful that there are people out there who care enough to do fansubbing so that i can understand them and i don't have to wait 2 years or whenever they were going to bring it over to america.
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Monse-chan on September 21 2005, 09:56 am
I have to admit I prefer Sakura's TRC seiyuu (I don't knwo how to spell it X_x)

The Sakura from CCS had such a high pitched voice....sometimes I got surprised as how she could yell *HOEEEE* in that tone of voice, hehe

I still like Sakura Tange though....but I think I prefer Yui Makino
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: moezychan on September 21 2005, 03:02 pm
I really don't want to choose because, in my opinion, they both are perfect for their role. Tange Sakura is perfect for our genki Kinomoto Sakura, and I couldn't see any other actor playing her part; especially considering that I watched Cardcaptors (shudders) I don't want anybody else playing our sweet kawaii Sakura.

However, I also love Makino Yui. She has such a gentle voice and it is perfect for Sakura-hime. She gives the impression that Sakura-hime is gentle and kind, but if I really had to choose, I would choose Tange Sakura. Card Captor Sakura will always be my first love from Japan; especially considering that it was the first anime I watched in its original Japanese and I want to keep it that way!
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Strawberry on September 21 2005, 10:08 pm
Yeah, I agree with moezy-chan.
I find it really hard to choose between the 2 because Sakura Tange has got a cute voice which suits Sakura and Yui Makino has a sweet voice which you'll expect for Sakura in TRC.Both artists are good at Sakura's voice ^_^
Title: Re: Better seiyuu for Sakura
Post by: Kuro-puppy on September 24 2005, 12:34 am
I like the voice of CCS sakura better
Sakura's is just not the same without HOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEE! *priceless* :D

The voice from TRC is also good, very good singing voice if you ask me (ep20), but
CCS voice is the best! :noteworthy:

Post by: Zeldi on September 24 2005, 12:52 am
I like Yui Makino more then Sakura Tange..Even if Sakura Tange did a amazing job, i like Yui Makino more her voice is adoreable she sings very well. You get the Kind and warm feeling from Sakura~Hime. To make it short~ I still like Sakura Tange though..but I think I prefer Yui Makino

I love Yui Makino's voice! Its so sweet and gentle! But when i first heard i was like....give me some ear plugs, and who killed Sakura?!

lol, but know i totally love her voice! Her singing isnt bad either...(i have alll her songs) ^^

Post by: Tohru-chan on October 19 2006, 11:08 am
To be honest, I really like both...I can't really vote for one over the other. I think both women are talented and have done a wonderful job bringing out the best in their character.

I'm both nervous and excited to see what will happen with the english dub. I'm hoping for the best! Several talented people work with funimation...I really hope they do the show justice.

Post by: Sabbe-chan on October 20 2006, 04:46 am
It's hard to choose but I think I like Sakura Tanges voice better. It may be because I saw the CCS anime before I read the manga, and so Tanges voice became Sakuras voice for me.
