福井晴敏的访谈，2020年11月

《Star Blazers》/《大和号高级粉丝俱乐部》杂志的第九期选择了真田志郎作为几篇文章的焦点，时间刚好与剧场版总集篇《大和号的时代》相吻合。作者福井晴敏描述了他对这个角色的理解以及他在编辑过程中所扮演的角色，并为我们提供了一个微小的机会让我们得以窥见在下一次冒险所期待的东西。

（译者注：这里的“下一次冒险”指的是2205）

The Age of Space Battleship Yamato, Selections from 2202AD

A talk with writer and supervisor Harutoshi Fukui

The new appeal of Shiro Sanada

The Age of Space Battleship Yamato will be screened in theaters January 2021, and of all the things that have been reported, the one that caught the interest of Yamato fans is that Shiro Sanada has been appointed as the narrator of the main story. As the remake series progresses, our “Mr. Sanada” has gained more and more presence. As the top batter of these special features that unravel Sanada’s appeal, let’s start with Harutoshi Fukui, who has been working on the series since 2202.

《宇宙战舰大和号的时代，西历2202年的选择》

与作者兼指导者福井晴敏的谈话

真田志郎的新魅力

《宇宙战舰大和号的时代》将于2021年1月在影院上映，在所有已经报道过的事情中，让大和号粉丝们感兴趣的是真田志郎被任命为主要故事的叙述者。随着重置系列的进展，我们的“真田先生”已经获得越来越多的存在感。让我们从自2202起就开始研究这个系列的福井晴敏的开始吧。

Why only Shiro Sanada could be the “narrator” of the special compilation

Interviewer: Shiro Sanada is the subject of the special feature in this issue of the magazine, so the first thing I want to talk about is the compilation film about to be released, since Age of Yamato has a special relationship with him. He acts as the narrator in this work, which is an important role. Was it your idea?

 

Fukui: That’s right. No matter how you think about it, Shiro Sanada is the best choice to tell the story of Yamato, including the “prehistory.” So there was no objection to his appointment.

 

Interviewer: Certainly, there is no one else who can explain the whole story.

 

Fukui: The image of a “commentator” is widely established, and Sanada in particular has become a sincere and sarcastic character, especially in the remake series.

 

Interviewer: When I first heard about this casting, it reminded me of a science documentary program on Discovery Channel, hosted by William Shatner, known for his role as Captain Kirk in Star Trek.

 

Fukui: I don’t think it feels that showy. Even though he’s a storyteller, he’s in a TV program produced within the world of the story, and he’s interviewed as a person involved. He’s an officer wearing a proper military uniform, so it feels like he’s seriously answering questions and explaining things. It’s kind of a fake documentary, so to speak.

 

Interviewer: Like an NHK special? (Translator’s note: Japan’s equivalent to PBS.)

 

Fukui: It’s exactly like an NHK special produced around the year 2205. I was aiming for something like that with the title, Age of Yamato, Selections from 2202AD. (Laughs)

 

Interviewer: I see. (Laughs) What was your intent in taking the form of a fake documentary?

 

Fukui: This special compilation is a companion work to Yamato 2205, The New Voyage. It’s the part that corresponds to a “review” you would see before watching 2205. I was particularly conscious of the former Yamato fans who haven’t had a chance to see the remakes yet. What content would they need to connect with 2205? As a result of that thinking, I came up with a special compilation that allows you to understand the world of the remakes in about two hours. On the other hand, using Shiro Sanada os the narrator, we were able to create a fake documentary that re-examines the worldview and message of the remake, and I think it’s a work that can be enjoyed by the core fan base, like those who subscribe to the Yamato magazine.

为什么只有真田志郎可以成为这一特殊总集篇的“叙述者”。

记者：真田志郎是本期杂志特刊的主题，所以我首先想要谈的事即将上映的总集篇电影，因为这部《大和号的时代》与他有着特殊的关系。他在这部作品里扮演叙述者的角色，这是一个很重要的角色。这是你的主意吗？

 

福井晴敏：没错。无论你怎么想，真田志郎都是讲述包括“编年史前”在内的大和号故事的最佳人选。所以对于这一点是毋庸置疑的。

 

记者：当然，没有其他人能解释这个故事。

 

福井晴敏：“解说员”的形象已经广为人知，尤其是在重置系列里，真田已经成为了一个真诚而讽刺的角色。

 

记者：当我第一次听说这个这个演员阵容时，他让我想起了探索频道里由威廉·夏特纳主持的一个科学纪录片节目，而他以在《星际迷航》扮演柯克船长而闻名。

福井晴敏：我不认为他让人感觉那么浮夸。虽然他是一个讲故事的人，但他是在一个电视节目里制作了这个故事的世界并作为一个相关人员接受采访。他是一名穿着得体的军官，所以感觉他在认真回答问题并解释东西。可以说，这是一部伪纪录片。

 

记者：比如NHK的特辑？（译者注：在日本相当于PBS）

（个人注：NHK指日本广播协会，PBS指美国公共电视网）

 

福井晴敏：这和NHK制作的2205特辑节目一模一样。我的目标是从2202年开始的《大和号的时代》（笑）。

 

记者：我明白了（笑），你打算以伪纪录片的形式制作这部总集篇的意图是什么？

 

福井晴敏：这个总集篇是《宇宙战舰大和号2205》的配套作品。这部分内容相当于你在观看2205前所看到的“评论”。我特别注意到那些还没有机会看到重置版的前大和号粉丝，他们需要什么内容才能联系到2205？基于这种想法，我构思出了一个总集篇，让你能在两个小时内就能了解重置版的世界观。另一方面，通过叙述者真田志郎，我们能够创造一个伪纪录片，重新审视重置版的世界观和信息，我认为这是一个可以被比如那些订阅大和号杂志那样的核心粉丝群所欣赏的作品。

Many highlights, including new footage! A work that goes beyond the limits of a compilation

Interviewer: Are there any new parts to the film other than the TV program in which Sanada appears?

 

Fukui: One of the highlights in terms of new scenes is the “Second Naval Battle of Mars.” It’s a scene that has been talked about in the story so far, but hasn’t been depicted on screen. To be honest, it took a lot of time and effort and “it wasn’t supposed to be this hard!” (Laughs) Kia Asamiya drew the storyboard, and even the staff thinks it’s amazing. In addition, you can’t miss the Apollo launch scene. At first we thought about using tone-rendering to make anime based on real-world recorded images, but when we actually tested it, it looked too different. In the end, we took advantage of the drawing team’s encouraging words, “We can draw something like this,” and they completed this amazing image as well.

 

 

 

Interviewer: When the premiere date was announced, you commented that it starts, “From zero, not from one.” Why did you choose the Apollo Project as the starting point of your retrospective?

 

Fukui: The starting points for talking about the history of humanity’s journey to the world of Space Battleship Yamato are “space” and “battleship” [war], so those are two options, right? In this case, I think “space” is the more suitable choice. The people living in the world of Yamato encounter intelligent life forms one after another, which were previously thought to exist only on Earth, and humans change through their relationships with them, despite the turmoil. The beginning of that history is the Apollo Project, which was the first decision to travel to space, wasn’t it?

 

Interviewer: When I hear you say that, this seems to be more than just a compilation, and it has a grand theme. As the one in charge of composition, supervision, and scriptwriting, I’m sure you must have had a lot of work to do.

 

Fukui: Actually, my impression this time is that I didn’t have to do that much work. The most difficult part of composing the story was handled by Yuka Minikawa (screenplay) and Junichiro Tamamori (concept advisor). They put together the history that leads to 2205. It was not only a matter of reconciling the timelines of the old and new series, but also parts that weren’t outlined in Yamato history. For example, when did the migration to Mars begin? They thought about it in detail down to the date level. Honestly, I just used the ideas they came up with. I’m sure they’ll resent me for saying this. (Laughs)

包括新的镜头在内的许多亮点！超越总集篇的作品。

记者：除了真田志郎出现的镜头外，这部电影还有什么新的部分吗？

 

福井晴敏：新场景的亮点之一是“第二次火星海战”，到目前为止，这个场景在故事中被讨论过，但还没有被搬上荧幕。说实话，这花了我很多时间和经历，而且“不应该这么难”！（笑）Kia Asamiya*绘制了故事板，甚至连员工都认为它很了不起。此外，你不能错过阿波罗发射现场。一开始我们想用色调渲染来制作基于真是世界纪录图像的动画，但当我们真正测试它时，它看起来太不一样了。最后，我们借助绘画团队的鼓励“我们可以画出这样的东西”，他们也完成了这幅令人惊叹的图像。

*：百度了一下这位是麻宫骑亚。

 

记者：当宣布首映日期的时候，你说过它会“从零开始，而不是从一而终”。你为什么选择阿波罗项目作为回顾的起点？

 

福井晴敏：谈论宇宙战舰大和号里的人类历史旅程的起点是“太空”和战舰（战争），所以这是两个选项，对吗？在这种情况下，我认为“太空”是更合适的选择。生活在大和号世界观的人们不断遭遇到一种又一种的智慧生命形式，而这些智慧生命形式以前被认为只会存在地球上，而人类通过与他们的接触而发生改变——尽管有些混乱。而这段历史的开始是阿波罗计划，因为它是第一个决定发起太空旅行的，不是吗？

 

记者：当我听到你这么说的时候，这似乎不仅仅是一个总集篇，它有一个宏大的主题。作为一个负责写作、监督和编剧的人，我相信你一定有很多工作要做。

 

福井晴敏：实际上，我这次的印象是，我不需要做那么多的工作。创作这个故事最难的部分是由Yuka Minikawa（剧本）*和玉盛顺一郎Junichiro Tamamori（概念顾问）**处理的。他们汇集了通往2205的历史。这不仅是一个新旧系列时间线的协调问题，也是大和号历史中没有概述的部分。例如，人类是什么时候开始向火星移民的？他们详细地考虑了这个问题，甚至到了为此约会的程度。说实话，我只是用了他们想出的点子。我肯定他们会恨我这么说的。（笑）

*：未查出此人是谁

**：新版宇宙战舰大和号系列的机设人员，在之前的采访里他表示2205将会回归2199的风格。
