For example Rider, the previous Rider was just a cool, faceless killing machine but for the new Rider, the director directed me to make Rider a little bit more elegant although she’s really cool and emotionless. The director wanted her to be more elegant and to have a softer husky voice. So, maybe years ago I couldn’t act so elegantly as I was too young. Rider became a little bit more lady-like now compared to before where she’s just a servant killing-machine."<ref>{{cite web|title=Exclusive Interview with Yuu Asakawa|url=http://metanorn.net/2014/11/exclusive-interview-with-yuu-asakawa|website=Metanorn|accessdate=8 April 2017|date=22 November 2014}}</ref></blockquote> |
