Mix together a slow, burning love song, club light dimness, and Dan Da Dan the way you would chocolate chips and cookie dough and you'll get 2 million views and one of fans' favorite moments in the Netflix anime, immortalized in edits setting Okarun and Momo's first "goodbye" to each other against a juicy slow jam. But, though this scene still enjoys a sweet reception nearly a year after it premiered in Dan Da Dan season one, Okarun's English voice actor A.J. Beckles once worried he wouldn't be able to perform it.
"I think it was rewarding, the way it came out," Beckles tells GamesRadar+ at Anime NYC convention in Manhattan, discussing his hardest scene to record, "but I always kind of reference the scene where [...] Okarun's walking away, and Momo says goodbye, and then he says goodbye, and they're both kind of like, 'What does that mean? Is this goodbye, and we're never going to talk again? Is this small moment in our lives just all it's going to be, or are we going to be friends after this?'"
