Bad photo, Kippei's eyes are closed.

I wonder if 'dubbers' get their moment of fame in other countries?
Any Japanese film that I have seen abroad has usually been subtitled.........

They tend to use the most famous voice actors over and over. Can drive a man bonkers.

Really? The voices rarely if ever sound natural. I bet if you closed your eyes you could tell which movie has been dubbed and which has not. It is really that bad.

I seriously hope you`re joking. I hate listening to anything dubbed in Japan, as it usually sounds ridiculous. Give me subtitles over dubbing any day in Japan.

Japanese guys doing voiceovers tend to talk in a flat gruff voice with no real color at all. I think they think it sounds more masculine. It sounds terrible.

Are you for real?
Japanese dubbing is horrendous. Every actress is dubbed over by some girlie speaking woman who sounds like a teletubby and every actor is dubbed over by an actor whose balls must have hit the floor, when they dropped during adolesence.
And the translation is very often innacurate and limited.

I think the Japanese voice actors do a great job of voice overs. The producers take some time and try to match the voice actor to the actor they are voicing. I have watched some dubbed movies from other countries that the voice actor was so poor that Stallone sounded like Mickey Mouse.

don't the REAL actors and actresses ever wonder "why am I getting my picture taken with these dolts?" when they come to Japan?

Koyuki's dress is beautiful, but for a woman with a nice figure it doesn't flatter her.
