It has been revealed that Fuji TV announcers Yui Suzuki and Aoi Harada will be trying their hand at voice acting in the Nintendo Switch game "Mystery Walk."
"How to Walk in Mystery" is set in the fictional summer resort "Narumizawa" and tells a magnificent story where an unsolved case from 30 years ago intersects with the present day. The protagonist, Doppo Akazawa, approaches the truth of the case using his special ability to see into the past, "past vision." A variety of characters appear, including members of the mystery research club, associates of a famous painter, and a mysterious murderer, and the story unfolds like a serial drama.
Suzuki and Harada will appear as news anchors in the game, reporting on the incident. The game characters are designed to resemble them, and they also voiced them.
Suzuki commented, "I never thought I'd be able to appear in a game, so as a huge game fan, I couldn't be happier! That's why I was more nervous than usual reading the script in the narration booth, and I did my best to read without ruining the world view of the work. I think it will be fun to play the game with friends and family, solving my mysteries together!"
Harada also said, "I'm very happy to be able to appear as a character in the game, and I'm really grateful to the production team for giving me this opportunity. There was a different kind of tension during the recording than usual, but it was a lot of fun! I hope you'll be immersed in the game... and look forward to our appearances."
A video showing Suzuki and Harada trying their hand at voice acting, as well as a video of them playing the finished game, has been released on the Fuji TV Announcer Channel.
