Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"I think the ones you mentioned are just your imagination, but there is one that is indeed unusual."

"Huh? There's another expert? Who is it?"

Rin Tachibana immediately perked up.

"Could it be Coco-chan? Tsk! Big breasts are great, she doesn't do anything but attack, Yang-jie, you better watch out."

Rin Tachibana continued her analysis, while Hina Aoki remained silent, staring at Rin for a long time.

Hina Aoki never imagined that the socially awkward girl who only knew how to play video games and couldn't speak when meeting strangers would one day be so concerned and curious about Toru Tazaki's affairs.

Was she really only doing it for her best friend?

Compared to the people she mentioned, Aoki Hina absurdly felt that it was Tachibana Rin who was the most suspicious.

After a long pause, Hina Aoki hesitated, her gaze shifting slightly.

"Don't tell you."

"What a cheapskate!"

Hina Aoki silently plucked the strings, trying to soothe the troubles in her heart caused by him with his melody.

272. Miss Aries, you're working so hard!

The recording studio of Mujica.

The keyboardist and guitarist are not in the band; the other three members are practicing their own music.

As Tazaki Toru pushed open the door and entered, the blonde girl standing in front of the microphone slightly raised her cheeks, looked over the microphone to see Tazaki Toru's face, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Tazaki-sensei!"

Ms. Okada, who was playing bass, also cast a glance at them, while Ms. Yonezawa was sitting in front of the drum set, looking at the sheet music with a troubled expression.

When she saw Toru Tazaki, her expression inevitably turned somewhat gloomy.

Tazaki Toru nodded and asked slowly, "Did I disturb you?"

"Absolutely not." The lead singer answered without hesitation.

Tazaki Toru walked over and glanced at the lyric book in front of Ms. Sasaki. Each lyric was divided into paragraphs and annotated with notes, making it exceptionally meticulous and neat.

That perfectly matches the impression she gives off.

"Tazaki-sensei, could it be that you've come to give us a new song?"

Tazaki Toru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy writing the arrangement for MyGO's concert lately. The new song also needs to go through a composition meeting before the direction is decided, so it won't be written so quickly."

"I see."

Sasaki Riko showed no disappointment on her face, her eyes fixed on Tazaki Toru. At less than 1.5 meters tall, the height difference forced her to crane her neck.

It was as if I was drowning in the crowd, and I wished I could stand on tiptoe, crane my neck, and raise my arms high in order to attract even the slightest attention from him.

Even if she didn't do that, in Tazaki Toru's heart, this Ms. Sasaki's singing voice was already enough to attract his attention.

Because the band members were not all present, Toru Tazaki gave individual guidance to each member on some minor issues during the performance.

Except for Ms. Watari, who only recently started learning to play the guitar, the members of Mujica are all at a professional level, making them easy to guide and quick to understand.

Finally, I listened to a short a cappella performance by Ms. Sasaki. Even with Tazaki Toru's discerning eye, it was difficult to find any major flaws in her singing.

After exchanging a few words, Tazaki Toru prepared to return to the sound room.

After all, it's still practice time, and it wouldn't be good to linger here too long and disturb their rehearsal.

"Tazaki-sensei."

"Ok?"

Ms. Sasaki suddenly spoke up to persuade him to stay, but then didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Sasaki Riko remained silent, Tazaki Toru stood there, suddenly remembering his last birthday, and said:

"By the way, the aromatherapy that Ms. Sasaki gave me last time is very useful. I light it every night to fall asleep. Thank you."

"Really? I'm so happy!"

Sasaki Riko couldn't help but smile.

"Keep practicing!"

"Well, I will."

Listening to their conversation, Ms. Yonezawa and Ms. Okada were quite surprised.

After Tazaki Toru left the recording studio, Ms. Okada couldn't help but ask curiously, "Riko-chan, you seem to know him quite well?"

"That's right, she even gave him a birthday present." Miss Yonezawa looked away from the intricate drum score.

"Huh? Me and Mr. Tazaki? Hmm... a little bit, actually we haven't met that many times, you could count them on one hand."

Regarding "Black Birthday," Riko Sasaki has never told anyone the story behind it.

Firstly, it might be seen as showing off and easily become a conspicuous display.

Secondly, he was worried that idle rumors might spread and cause trouble for Tazaki Toru.

Therefore, in Sasaki's heart, this matter was a secret that belonged only to her and Tazaki Toru.

"In that case, could you ask him for me if he has any complaints about me?"

“MyGO’s drum sheet music looks much more normal. Do they not treat me like a human being?”

Ms. Sasaki showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

However, despite her complaints, Ms. Yonezawa never showed any weakness during formal rehearsals and played with exceptional seriousness.

Sasaki Riko thought to herself that it was probably because she appreciated Tazaki Toru's work that she acted this way.

After all, everyone has a different personality, and Sasaki Riko could sense that there was a strong sense of identification with Tazaki Toru's songs within their band.

Even though they haven't been together as long as MyGO, they absolutely don't believe their love for music is any less than theirs.

……

……

After today's band practice, the five members of Mujica left together and went to a nearby family restaurant.

When Sumimi wasn't practicing, the five of them would stay together for a long time after practice ended.

After leaving the recording building, the members of MyGO went their separate ways.

Some people need to rush to their next voice acting job, while others have to work part-time at family restaurants; everyone has their own things to do.

After that, Toru Tazaki held a small composition meeting with Mr. Fujita and others, so when Toru Tazaki left the recording studio, it was already late at night.

Just as he was about to board the tram home, he received a message from an unexpected girl.

After hesitating for only two or three seconds, Tazaki Toru turned and left.

Arriving at a karaoke bar near the station, I found the other person's room and pushed the door open.

The girl inside is standing alone in front of the screen, her hands gripping the microphone, singing a popular song with her unique voice.

"Ah, Mr. Tazaki, you've come!"

The person singing alone in the karaoke room was Yang Gongfei Na.

"Miss Yang Gong, why are you singing here all by yourself?"

"Hehehe~~"

The girl scratched her head a little shyly, her long, smooth black hair falling down her back, as black as an ink mark that "whooshed" into the pure white space.

Even though rehearsals were over, as the lead singer of MyGO, Sheep Palace Fina could have freely used the recording studio, but she didn't.

The reason was simple: Yang Gongfei felt very shy.

It felt like after class, while the other students were chatting outside the classroom, she was still sitting upright in her seat, constantly reading the text from the textbook.

If someone says, "You work so hard," she can feel depressed for a long time.

In this world, it seems that efforts go unnoticed until achievements are made.

Most people might choose to praise her, but if she receives a few discouraging comments, given Yang Gongfei's personality, she is very likely to fall into self-doubt and internal strife.

Next came the piles of tattered cotton quilts and corrugated cardboard boxes under the overpass...

Instead of doing that, she should find a place where no one knows her, and secretly work hard and practice.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Toru Tazaki did not press the matter further. It was not that he couldn't understand the mindset of such a young girl.

Yang Gongfei was not a very confident girl to begin with, and she felt that she should be the one in the band who needed the most practice.

Especially after Mujica was successfully formed, I experienced the talent of Riko Sasaki as a versatile vocalist, and the concert was approaching.

These thoughts increasingly troubled and anxious her.

273. What if they get caught giving the lead singer private lessons...?

The karaoke rooms are small; they're probably the smallest in the establishment besides the single rooms, only able to accommodate a handful of people.

Tazaki Toru sat on the sofa, silently watching the soft-spoken girl holding a microphone in front of him.

Just as he expected, Yang Gongfei came to practice alone, but being alone, she couldn't accurately perceive her own shortcomings.

After much thought, the only option left was to contact Tazaki Toru.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but sigh softly.

These matters were long beyond his job scope.

Tazaki Toru is just a songwriter. Since when did he have to take on the role of counseling female voice actors?

But if you were to ask Tazaki Toru if he would be willing to help these female voice actors solve their problems, the answer would be obvious.

Regardless, they were ultimately singing songs written by Toru Tazaki, and Toru Tazaki couldn't just leave them to their own devices.

Even if it wasn't Himiko Hina, no matter which one of them it was, Toru Tazaki would have rushed over without hesitation.
