Topic: Six Degrees of Bee Train!

[UNtrue Noir]

Ok, folks. This is another game from the imdb forums. The rules are very simple:

The first person will name a (voice)actor/actress/show/music/whatever, and the second will try to relate him/her/it all the way back to Bee Train - in at most six tries.

You can use an online database, if you need to.

Julia stiles was in TRAFFIC
with catherine zeta jones who was in THE HAUNTING
with owen wilson who was in THE WEDDING CARASHERS
with bradley cooper who was in ALIAS
with Jennifer Garner

So let's start off with an easy one: Hitomi Nabatame.

[Koveras]

That's indeed easy.

Hitomi Nabatame voiced Kate Scott in TRINITY BLOOD,
where Sister Agnes was voiced by HOUKO KUWASHIMA,
who has voiced Yuumura Kirika in NOIR and Margaret Burton in MADLAX,
with both series having been produced by BEE TRAIN.



Next one: Mikako Takahashi

[UNtrue Noir]

Mikako Takahashi voiced Rodo-something or other in SIMOUN,
with Houko Kuwashima who was Kirika in NOIR and Margaret in MADLAX,
which are works of BEE TRAIN. =]

Next: Misato Aki

[Koveras]

Damn, that's not fair! I totally forgot that Kuwashima was in Simoun. %(

But Aki Misato is also easy.

Aki Misato performed the first ED in MAI-HIME,
while the general music in it was composed by YUKI KAJIURA,
who has also created music for so many BEE TRAIN works that I'm too lazy to list them.

Next: Junji Majima

[UNtrue Noir]

Pff! How could you forget?

Junji Majima voiced Souma Oogami in KANNAZUKI NO MIKO,
with Kana Ueda who was Yumi in MARIMITE,
with Hitomi Nabatame who was Shizuma (vampire! XD) in STRAWBERRY PANIC,
with Mai Nakahara who was Mai Tokiha in MAI-HIME & OTOME,
which Yuki Kajiura composed for,
who also composed for pretty much all the works of BEE TRAIN.

Yay! Exactly six!

And why is it that we're the only two playing, Koveras? Do we have too much time on our hands?

[Fellini 8.5]

And why is it that we're the only two playing, Koveras? Do we have too much time on our hands?

Yes.  Yes you do..   

I'm not very good with Japanese voice talent names, so here's a really tough one:

John Wayne  (I've even linked to IMDB for you to save you time...  )

[Ombrenuit]

John Wayne rhymes with Bee Train, does that count? ^^;

[MartAnimE]

Fellini, you are crazy! ^^; Coming up with such unbelievable, insanely difficult riddles... I'm still trying to solve that one you put up on the All Series "ask a stupid question get a stupid answer" thread, that has been there for ages...

 As for this one...

 John Wayne was one of the people who made part of a group of actors known informally as the "John Ford Stock Company", as they were oftenly casted by the legendary American director John Ford...

who was the primary influence as a filmmaker to, and therefore worshipped by, Akira Kurosawa...

who wrote the original film that inspired the anime variation Samurai 7...

which casted, in the role of Kyuzo, the voice actor Shinichiro Miki...

who also voiced Crim from .hack//SIGN...

which is a Bee-Train anime!

(and in 6 steps too )

edit: oh right, almost forgot... next one is Shinkichi Mitsumune! ^^;

[Cyberia]

Hey JoHn Wayne has a really shorter link.

Leon must play John Wayne for Mathilda.


And here we have several topics related to NOIR
Leon assassin -> Mireille assassin
Leon before Mathilda -> Mireille before Kirika
Leon's plant -> Mireilles Plant
...

[UNtrue Noir]

Shinkichi Mitsumune.. *is out of breath* Gosh, what a tongue-twister name.. I wonder how it was for him in school..

Oh, right.

S.M. composed the music for LOVE HINA OAV
in which Satsuki Yukino voiced MUTSUMI OTOHIME,
who also voiced Vanessa Renee in MADLAX,
which is a work of BEE TRAIN.

Next: Yoshihisa Hirano

Yes.  Yes you do..   

Thanks.

[Koveras]

And why is it that we're the only two playing, Koveras? Do we have too much time on our hands?

Yes.  Yes you do..   

Well, actually, I've just spent three whole days on a remote island far away from home, getting used to my new colleagues in the company I just signed a contract with.

AOT:

Yoshihisa Hirano has composed music for MEINE LIEBE,
which was animated by BEE TRAIN.

Next: Tamio Ohki

[MartAnimE]

 Tamio Ohki played Great Chairman on Beyblade...

Rei from Beyblade was played by Aya Hisakawa...

who played Chloe from Noir...

which is a Bee-Train anime!

 Next: Tsukasa Kotobuki!

[UNtrue Noir]

Tsukasa Kotobuki did the mech designs for GODANNAR,
where Aya Hisakawa played MIRA ACKERMAN
who also played Chloe in NOIR and Limelda in MADLAX.

Next: Michiko Neya

Yoshihisa Hirano has composed music for MEINE LIEBE,
which was animated by BEE TRAIN.

Oh, sorry. I was going a whole different route there. I didn't see Meine Liebe in his credits..

[MartAnimE]

 Michiko Neya played Nancy Makuhari in R.O.D. TV...

wich Bee-Train did the in-between animation for!

Next: Satoru Akahori

[Koveras]

Satoru Akahori was one of the people behind the script of NADESICO TV,
where KUWASHIMA HOUKO had her debut role as Yurika Misumaru.
Later, Kuwashima also voiced two well-known roles in the two arguably most prominent works by BEE TRAIN.
