Yuuki Aoi gives us another new kind of voice in the upcoming PSP fantasy role-playing game, Blue Roses: Fairy and Blue-eyed Warriors.Aoi's character, Pollu, is a very shy supposed twelve-year-old who always has a fox stuffed-animal in her arms. Aoi gives her an exaggeratedly shy and hesitant voice.Aoi's specialty is more genki girls. This extremely shy character is a departure for her. I wouldn't have said it was something she could do -- she has too much strength in her voice. But by slowing down, with long pauses, and putting her energy into nuances of expression, perhaps she just manages. Her job here is to create an image rather than a drama, after all.Other seiyuu in the game include Kitamura Eri, Kaji Yuuki, Mariko Honda (Kurimu in Seitokai no Ichizon), Maeno Tomoaki, Ise Mariya, and Sasaki Nozomi.You can hear Aoi's voice by going to the official site, clicking on "Characters" at the bottom of the page, then on the next page clicking on the character I show outlined in red in the first image below:That will take you to Pollu's character page. To hear Aoi's voicing of her, click on the pale green rectangle I have outlined in red:The game will come out on September 16, and is available for pre-order from Play-Asia, among other places. It is published by Nippon Ichi, but created by Apollosoft, which is apparently a spin-off of now-defunct Flight Plan.For more detailed discussion of the game, try here and here.Here is the second PV:<object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rc8KpL-nIuo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rc8KpL-nIuo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
