Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Thus, after a long selection process, the two bands led by Toru Tazaki finally confirmed all their band members.

They have all gotten back on track.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Thank you all for your hard work. Please continue to guide me next year."

"Miss Sasaki, could you please stay for a moment?"

"Yes."

After the band practice ended, the rest of the members left the recording studio, but Sasaki Riko was asked by the supervisor to stay and was taken to the sound room.

Sasaki Riko wondered if she had done something wrong today, her face full of anxiety.

The supervisor glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Judging by the time, we should be arriving soon."

Sasaki Riko glanced somewhat uneasily at Tazaki Toru, who was sitting in the corner, and Toru gave her a faint smile.

This slightly eased her worries.

Not long after, the staff pushed open the soundproof door.

"Supervisor, Ms. Soda is here."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

A young girl stood behind the staff member, and even though Tazaki Toru had seen her many times before, he still couldn't help but marvel at her.

Even though she was wearing a thick cotton coat, it did not diminish her beauty at all.

With a face like that, you'll become the center of attention wherever you go, and feel a greater sense of pressure than others.

Tazaki Toru is very empathetic.

The girl in front of me bent down, her energetic and lively voice tinged with a slight nervousness.

"Hello everyone, I am Hida Yozuki. It's nice to meet you all today."

226.sumimi (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

Sasaki Riko looked at the young girl who had appeared in the sound room, and her first thought was:

Is there really someone in this world who can be so beautiful?

It was as if God had added the most exquisite dye in the world when creating her, and through careful adjustments, sculpted such a flawless person.

"Hello everyone, I am Hida Yozuki. I look forward to working with you today."

Tanda Yeyue.

Sasaki Riko immediately memorized the name.

Under the supervisor's introduction, the two female voice actresses greeted each other, and Sasaki Riko thus understood why she had been left alone.

According to Ayana's anime script, they have to form a brand new group in the story.

Although the project did not intend to focus on developing this group, as a band project, it was natural to recreate the group that appeared in the anime.

Since the anime has not yet aired, and the future is unpredictable, the project team will naturally not let go of any possibility of a live-action group appearing on screen.

What's more, Toru Tazaki even wrote a song specifically for this group.

"Miss Sasaki, how's your practice of 'Here, the world!' coming along?"

"Yes, I've practiced it many times at home."

"Then, Ms. Sasaki and Ms. Soda, let's go to the recording studio together later to practice and record a simple version. Um... Tazaki-kun."

"I'm here."

"If you make any adjustments to the arrangement, you also need to update the sheet music they have at the same time."

“I understand,” Tazaki Toru nodded in response.

Thus, after Mujica's band practice ended, Sasaki Riko began to partner with Ms. Sora Yozuki again to practice additional songs.

However, Sasaki Riko couldn't help but think that if she were to become partners with such a stunningly beautiful girl, she might end up as a mere supporting character.

Although she became the lead singer of Mujica, she believed that it was all thanks to Toru Tazaki.

If it weren't for that song that marked her birth, she would still be standing alone on the cold, desolate streets of Shibuya, singing her song.

Therefore, the audition did not give her much confidence.

Instead, they felt suspected of cheating and were extremely cautious in everything they did, fearing they might cause trouble.

"Ms. Sasaki, have you been selected as the lead vocalist for Mujica?"

"Huh? Ah... I'm so grateful for everyone's support. I've been fortunate enough to be given the role of lead vocalist."

Unbelievable.

This beautiful girl was actually talking to her.

This brought Sasaki Riko back to her senses, and she realized with a start that this Sora Yozuki was not a meticulously crafted doll, but a living, breathing person like herself.

Sasaki Riko secretly glanced at her profile.

Wow... this is so beautiful!

Little did he know, Yozuki Sora was also observing this unassuming Miss Sasaki.

I just felt that she was short, and her blonde hair was particularly eye-catching. Although she wasn't pretty, she had a unique and attractive quality.

At the same time, I was curious about how she was chosen as Mujica's lead singer.

Upon arriving at the recording studio, carrying their guitars, and after confirming with the sound engineer, they began singing "Here, the world!" composed by Toru Tazaki.

But once she puts on her guitar and grips the microphone, Ms. Sasaki's entire aura changes.

Unlike Yozuki Soda's slightly stiff, plain voice, Riko Sasaki fully demonstrated the ease and confidence of a professional singer.

Perform harmonies and play.

If they were just standing together, anyone would surely be attracted by Sora Yozuki's beauty.

But when the melody begins and the song starts, the difference between them is magnified infinitely.

Sasaki Riko is fine when she doesn't sing, but once she starts harmonizing, the difference in her singing skills becomes glaringly obvious.

Inside the sound system room.

Almost everyone wore a wry smile.

They had considered what it would be like to pair a singing novice with a professional singer.

But when reality hit them, it was far more disastrous than they had imagined.

Before becoming the lead vocalist of Mujica, Riko Sasaki had been a professional singer for many years.

Yozuki Soda is just a girl who started out as an idol.

Isn't this bullying?

Most fatally, Ms. Sonoda was clearly very nervous in this situation, and her lack of basic skills was exposed, making her performance much worse than in her previous recordings.

On the contrary, Riko Sasaki's performance has been very consistent. From the audition period to now being officially selected as the lead vocalist of Mujica, Riko Sasaki has never had a moment of poor performance.

Solid basic skills and a calm and collected mind in the face of danger are her most powerful weapons as the lead singer of the band.

Needless to say, the result of the rehearsal was excellent.

As she realized the gap between herself and Sasaki Riko, Sora Yozuki's voice became increasingly insecure.

His performance in the later rounds was even worse than the first time.

Ultimately, the recording had to be cut short.

Inside the lounge, gifts purchased by the supervisor were laid out on the table.

A whole row of donuts.

After practice, Yozuki Sakata slumped dejectedly onto the table.

If they weren't still at work, she might have secretly dropped the little pearls.

Shortly after, Riko Sasaki arrived at the lounge.

Yozuki Sora, who was lying on the table, sat up straight instantly.

The way he looked at Sasaki Riko had completely changed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Handa."

"Ah, yes, you've worked hard too, Ms. Sasaki."

Yotsuki Hōda couldn't help but use very complicated honorifics.

It wasn't just because Sasaki Riko looked older than her, but also because of her previous performance, which made Handa Yozuki admire her from the bottom of her heart.

She couldn't help but worry that being in the same group as such a talented person would hold Sasaki Riko back.

"There's no need to talk like that."

"Um... I'm sorry, I sang terribly." Yozuki Hirada lowered her head in embarrassment.

She knew it in her heart.

She sings terribly and dances mediocrely; there are plenty of girls who can sing and dance better than her.

The only thing that's presentable is her naturally beautiful face.

But this was a gift from her parents, and had nothing to do with her own efforts.

Perhaps I was selected simply because of my face.

"No, that's not true. I think you did a great job."

"No one can be perfect at the beginning."

"All we can do is keep trying. No one can criticize someone who has given their all."

After saying that, Sasaki Riko extended her hand in a friendly manner.

An ordinary appearance, with an ordinary smile.
