Hypster Magazine Vol.2 Q&A
Q: What are you into lately?
Ichiro: I’m getting really into video editing lately. Right now I’m making a PR video for Tsutaya! You can really change someone’s impression of something by the way you tie together words and images on a screen, but it’s pretty easy for me to lose track of time when I can’t make it look exactly the way I want… Jiro and Saburo are helping me shoot some street views of ‘Bukuro, so don’t be afraid to come say hi if you see us!
(TL note: Tsutaya is a Japanese chain of video rental shops and bookstores.)
Jiro: Playing guitar! Me and a friend of mine are planning on performing in a band at the school festival. It’s been a while since I last played, so I ended up getting hooked again. In my head I always think about doing something cool, but my fingers never do what I want ‘em to do…
Saburo: …Origami. What, you want a reason? …I’ve discovered that I can also apply it to programming, and lately I’ve been fascinated by its profundity.
Samatoki: (Sigh) What a pain… vintage stuff. S’been a while since I last collected any rider jackets.
Jyuto: Hmm, I’d have to say live painting. It’s an art form in which an artist creates an entirely new piece of work on the spot, and it’s easy for one to lose track of time as they watch the painting come together. Perhaps it’s that sense of immersion that makes me feel so comfortable. How did I get started? Ah, I just happened to see it once at a contemporary art exhibition.
Riou: A soldier such as myself has no hobbies, as personal interests and pleasurable pastimes keep us from remaining dedicated to our mission. However… once, when I was gathering information, I happened to hear a rather nice piece of music over the airwaves. I have been listening to the radio every day since then.
Ramuda: Going to horse racing arenas, I guess! I dunno much about the rules, but the jockeys’ clothes are sooo colourful and cute, it just kicks my inspiration into high gear! Getting to see them in the paddock gets me more excited than anything ☆
Gentaro: I’ve finally begun following my lifelong dream of becoming a coach. What for? Why, a grassroots baseball team, obviously. I’ve taken charge of a small group of delinquents, and my mission is to lead them to the league championship. It’s a bit of a trial and error affair, but it’s enjoyable to run along the riverbank in the sunshine… of course, that was all a lie.
Dice: Gambling, obviously! Especially horse racing, which to me is the best damn thing in the world right now! I ain’t biased towards it, though. I’m bettin’ my money on everything: cee-lo, slot machines, pachinko parlours and casinos, boat races - I’m even takin’ part in the lottery raffles downtown! Heheh, I’ve got it all worked out!
Jakurai: Currently, I am rather addicted to driving on ordinary public roads as opposed to taking the highway. It is a wonderful way to get a feeling for the characteristics of the local area, and there are many fascinating discoveries to be made by taking the scenic route. The view as seen through the windscreen can be very interesting indeed.
Hifumi: The kind of beauty products you can use at home! Whenever something new comes out I get excited about it. All the new brushes and the face masks with the electric waves…! Oh, you wanna see how it looks on me? Guess you’ll just have to come to the club and find out!
Doppo: I’m addicted to predicting the number of steps or stairs. When I get it right, it feels like something good is going to happen and it makes me feel happy. I drive a lot for work but sometimes I take the train, which is exciting because it gives me more opportunities to use the stairs.
Sasara: I’m in love with the mascot cat at the coffee shop near my studio! It never comes near me when I visit no matter what I do, though, so every time I go to visit I always bring a new joke to tell. I’m gonna make this kitty warm up to me with the power of laughter!
Rosho: I’ve been into late night restoration shows lately. It’s always exciting for me to see an old car being reborn…! I wish I could share this feeling with my students, but it’s hard to incorporate it into my lessons. I think I’ll start by coming up with some jokes about restoration.
Rei: I like gettin’ to know new people over social networkin’ sites. Whenever I find someone I think might be interestin’ to talk to, I shoot ‘em a DM. It makes connectin’ with other people real easy, which is nice and convenient. Hey, if ya happen to spot me online, feel free to follow. I’ll be sure to follow ya back.
Kuuko: When I cook, I like making the soybeans kinda meaty looking! I’m thinking of putting something as close to meat as possible in our next vegetarian meal to give my old man a run for his money! Kyahaha!
Jyushi: Lead weights are used to hold down my limbs, awakening the hidden power sleeping within me… I have devoted myself to this ritual of reincarnation, which shall grant me a new body. Of course, in order to obtain the arm strength of a swordsman, I must remember to move hastily and breathe deeply. There can be no room for mistakes here!
Hitoya: Smoked food, at the minute. Obviously, the aim is to enjoy my drink with a nice snack. Two of my favourite chip flavours at the minute are cherry blossom, which leaves quite the unique taste, and whiskey oak, which gives off a hint of Western liquor. I’ve been working on a few blends as well, I’d like to add. Honestly, I never thought I’d be so captivated by it… it’s a little bewildering.
(TL note: When he says chip flavours, he’s talking about flavoured wood chips that are burnt in order to give smoked food a specific undertaste.)

New Urusei Yatsura TV anime for 2022!
NEWS - It’s been confirmed that a brand new Urusei Yatsura TV anime in 2022 on Fuji TV, just in time for The Year of The Tiger!
The Unofficial Shonen Sunday fan Twitter account posted this new illustration by Rumiko Takahashi herself to celebrate the new announcement!
It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but these promo images that have leaked suggest not only the series new name (UY ALL STARS), but that Lum & Ataru will be getting new seiyuu! The actress in the image for Lum is Sumire Uesaka (Angela in Carol & Tuesday, Sawa in Kageki Shojo!!, etc), while the actor in the image for Ataru is Hiroshi Kamiya (Takashi Natsume in Natsume’s Book of Friends, Trafalgar Law in One Piece, etc). The official website for the series is also called UY Allstars, and is currently counting down to Saturday, when it’s most likely they will either release an announcement or teaser trailer with more info! I’ll update with more once things have been officially announced.
Edit: It has now been confirmed via the official anime Twitter & website that the leaks are TRUE! Uesaka & Kamiya will be the leads in this new series! We also now have a very short teaser trailer where you can hear them both:

Yumichika: I’m a ten.
Ikkaku: No, it’s a pick up line-
Yumichika: I. Am. A. Ten.
