Shin Megami Tensei III - Lucifer's Call / Nocturne
themusicalgamer for HIKAWA
VOCAL RANGE: MEDIUM
Hikawa is a mysterious man.
Hikawa is a man devoted to the Reason of Shijima from the very beginning and acts accordingly.
Every move he makes is calm and calculated as he swiftly moves his way towards realizing his vision of a new world.
Much like Shijima, he is utterly emotionless in his actions, using Yuko Takao as his pawn and destroying all resistance with no hesitation and minimal effort.
The only variable in his plan is the Demi-fiend; he is the only character to which Hikawa shows any hint of emotion, expressing his disgust at the previous world and his hope for a future of silence.
The actions of the Protagonist will allow him to side with Hikawa and the Reason of Shijima, if he so chooses.

I just wanted to congratulate you on gaining the role as 'Hikawa'. First of all, I'm sorry for the late cast. I've had to go through a lot of close choices when deciding on an actor so a lot of time was needed to come to a decision. Secondly, the voice that you chose for Hikawa captures his mysterious aura quite well. A few inconsistencies here and there but as we work together and I get to direct you with your lines, I'm sure that they'll turn out perfectly (listen to the second and third line and you'll understand why it sounds inconsistent to the first line).In your future recordings for the project however, I want you to increase the volume in your voice a little more as it was sounding a little quiet (in terms of your voice, not your microphone). A little more confidence in your voice and it'll be near perfection for this role! Other than that, contacting method; Will Skype or email be easier to contact you?
Thank you so much! I appreciate the direction and the casting! As for contact, it will probably be easier to reach me through email rather than Skype, though I will be very glad to give you both if you would like. My email is [email protected]. Thank you again, and Happy New Year!
