This entry presents an exclusive interview with Uki Satake —佐武宇綺—, a versatile Japanese artist known for her work as a singer, actress, and seiyū (voice actress), conducted during FicZone 2025. Former member of the idol group 9nine, Satake has built a multifaceted career spanning music, radio, and anime voice acting, with roles in titles such as Mob Psycho 100, Space Dandy, Carole & Tuesday, and Uzumaki (adaptation of Junji Ito’s work). The interview explores her professional trajectory, her experience performing both human and non-human characters, and the technical and emotional challenges of voice acting in genres such as horror. It also addresses the differences between live musical performance and dubbing, her connection with international audiences, and her artistic sensibility across multiple disciplines. Conducted in Spain, this conversation provides valuable insight into the global reach of Japanese pop culture and the interaction between creators and European audiences. The article also acknowledges the role of FicZone, CrossOver, and interpreter Michie Yamaya in facilitating this cultural exchange. Originally published in Spanish on CoolJapan.es
