AFREC!

Refer to ANN’s newspiece here.
Bandai Namco Games announced the prototype for its Afrec! technology at Tokyo International Anime Fair 2008 on March 27. Like karaoke, the machine allows fans to add their voices to their favorite tracks. Unlike karaoke, the machine does voiceovers for anime scenes, not songs. The machine displays a short sequence from popular anime with subtitled dialogue, and the fans voice over their favorite characters.
The name Afrec! comes from “afureko” (”after-recording”), the Japanese term for dialogue dubbing sessions that are recorded after the video is made. Almost all Japnese animated productions record the dialogue after a rough edit of the animation is cut. Bandai plans to sell Afrec! in the middle of this year, and is also dveloping a version for films.
Who knows? Maybe we WILL see the next Tohru Furuya or Yui Horie from Malaysia.

From Malaysia or even Nigeria, the next Yui Horie must be a cute girl.

I keep thinking AFREC is a device that gives you afros. The Side ad about Yakitate Japan doesn’t help. LOL!
