Petra discusses the making of her 3D debut, including Riku Tazumi’s appearance

Petra recently talked about the making of her 3D debut, covering its first half (she'll have a part 2 later). Among the parts she covered was the first appearance of Riku Tazumi, from 31:40 to 35:44; there, she causally explained the planning of that part. Below a transcript of when she speaks in English:

"To anyone wondering, that was, this, this part is Tazumi-san's real, real voice. Tazumi-san's voice was pre-recorded, uh, I will let you know that secret, it was a pre-recorded Tazumi-san's voice, but… it was so good! *laughs*"

"Like, you know, when I was first planning my 3D, I was like 'Can I… can I get Tazumi-san in my 3D, like, maybe just his voice or something?', and staff were like 'Uuhhh… uhh, we'll try to ask…'. Honestly, I was expecting like, I was expecting him to say 'no', you know, I was fully like, you know, he can't, that's ok. He was so, he was like 'Yeah, no problem! I'll record anything you want!.' And then, at first I was only going to ask him to record like, two lines in Japanese… but he was like 'I'll record as much as you want! I'll even record in English if you want!'. I know! He was like 'I'll record in Japanese OR English, whatever you want, Petra!', and I was like 'Awesome!' *laughs* I was like, that opens so many, you know, doors and opportunities for me."

"I know, and he was like 'I'll even record in English', I was like… 'Are you sure? I have so much power now.' *laughs*"

"'Hah? I'm not your uncle!' *laughs* Was so funny."

"To be honest, I wanted it to sound really awkward. I wanted it to be like, shitty audio quality… and like, sound like he's trying to put out a voice, but he's not really doing it. And he… he did an awesome job. He did exactly what I wanted him to. I didn't even have to tell him. He, he… delivered exactly what I wanted."

"And then, the floating Tazumi-san PNG was staff's idea… *laughs*, we were just like, 'how about we just slap him… how about we just slap him in the corner of the room?', and I was like, 'Sure!', and then we're like, we're just gonna zoom in on him, and I was like, 'Sure!'. *laughs* So there's this just like, stupid… you know what this transition reminds me of? It reminds me of Prezi."

The rest of the stream is her commenting the making of other parts in the first half, up to the upside down aussie TV part which, according to her, went like this:

Petra: "Is there a way to turn the screen upside down?"

Staff-san: "Yeah, it's upside down if I hold it." *proceeds to lift and turn the TV upside down*

Petra: "Oh… ok…"
