Special “Son Goku” Dialogue Feature
To mark the collaboration, Comic Natalie has published a special cross-interview titled Goku Taidan (“Son Goku Dialogue”), bringing together Soichiro Hoshi — the voice of Son Goku in the Saiyuki anime series — and Taizo Shiina, who played Son Goku in the stage musical series Saiyuki Kagekiden. The two discuss the collab highlights and their respective journeys with the franchise. Minekura also makes a special appearance in the feature to share behind-the-scenes production stories.
