Tokyo Sound

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: What a shame, how hateful!"

"Brother Dong: What a shame, how hateful!"

"Grand Commander of Dongwu: The group leader claims to be the best single pusher, why doesn't he say anything?"

"..."

Tsuchiya Hiroaki shrank his head in front of the computer screen. As an ACG expert who had personally attended the release conference of The Idol King 2, he was also a little confused at the time.

"Grand Commander of Dongwu: I found it. This anime blogger named '萌豚先锋·超人阿亮' also wrote a review of The Idol King 2. It was very detailed and he even said that joining a boy band was indeed a poor consideration."

"?"

Tsuchiya Hongliang was angry.

What a bad guy, he actually took the stabbing king out of context. Objectively speaking, he said in the review that it is not right to add a male group to the sequel of the male-oriented series. It is really hard to understand, especially when the popular female characters of the previous generation cannot be cultivated.

"Brother Dong: This is also a big player in the ACG world. He is good at providing various strategies and information. By the way... I feel like there are too many reports about Big Brother."

Humph, as the leader of a single push, I still have to have this little help.

Tsuchiya Hongliang was secretly pleased with himself, but the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

not good!

"Dong Ge: Wow, she also interviewed Kyoto Animation and took photos with many people, even with Big Brother..."

"Urban Little Phlegm: Hmm, something is wrong. This fat guy seems a little familiar."

The chat group suddenly fell silent.

The text that was continuously refreshing suddenly stopped.

The last message was sent by Dong Ge, which was a forwarded picture from an interview article.

The photo appears to be the reception area on the first floor of Kyoto Animation Studio. The weather and sunshine that day were extremely comfortable, exuding a warm and soft atmosphere.

On the left side of the center of the picture is a handsome man in casual clothes. His smile is contagious, his temperament is outstanding, and his posture is upright, just like a strong and tough bamboo, which is fascinating.

If the partner in the photo was replaced by a literary girl with long black hair and a scarf, it would be a complete kill, and it would completely turn an ordinary photo into a movie as if the pause button had been pressed.

It's a pity that it can't be replaced.

The bear-like man with an expensive camera hanging on his chest and wearing the painful clothes of Haruma Tenjouin's character in The Idol King 2, showed a satisfied, but slightly reserved and nervous, innocent smile to the camera. It was definitely the scene of a lucky fan.

The chat group continued to be silent.

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: My private clothes are really pretty. Also, why aren't you talking? Is my network slow?"

A few seconds later.

There was an uproar.

"Golden Pickup Truck Five: Kusao. Isn't this the group leader? Last time we went to the Sword Saint event, we met offline. I didn't know there was another identity for him. That's great, I will definitely support you even more."

"Urban Little Phlegm: No...that's not right! You are more than just the Zhongda of Xiuwen?!"

"Golden P.E.K.A.'s Five: What is Zhongda? Isn't he the leader of the rival group?"

"Urban Little Phlegm: You don't know?"

"Golden Pika's Five: Know what?"

"Stir-fried tomatoes: Don't say it, he really doesn't know. The last time we met in Sword Saint Domain, there were five of us. The group leader and Brother Dong found excuses to slip away first, then Brother Tan also went out, and then it was Ah Wei, he followed you and peeked from behind the pillar."

"Grand Commander of Eastern Wu: How do you know I was following you???"

"Stir-fried tomatoes: I'm at the pillar behind you. In the end, only Pikachu entered the venue. He really didn't know."

"Golden P.E.K.A. Five: You! Said! What!?!"

"Golden Pickup's Five: Kong Ming is Zhong Da?! There's a ghost in the house? There's a ghost in the house! I don't know, am I the only one who doesn't know?!"

Even though it was just words, everyone could feel the devastated mood of this honest friend.

"Brother Dong: You lied to me!"

"Urban Little Phlegm: Stop pretending to be innocent. You are everywhere, it's just that people haven't burst your bubble yet."

"Brother Dong: You clearly told me that I was your confidant and I had absolutely no secrets. I worked hard to fight for you, fought all the haters, and even agreed to take a hot spring bath and sleep with you. You actually lied to me? What other identity do you have? Are you a man or a woman?!"

"Heisei's Kong Ming: ... Brother Dong, you don't understand. This is a problem that can never be solved by dividing one by three."

“Brother Dong: You were actually arm in arm with Big Brother in the group photo, you traitor. I trusted you so much, trusted you, hehehe, trusted you, hehehe——”

"Heisei's Kong Ming: ...Be more normal, I'm scared."

"Urban Little Phlegm: This is really the Osaka yandere department."

"Shinjuku Ex-Girlfriend: The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family members fought against each other. What a good show~"

"Heisei's Kong Ming: Be quiet, be quiet! Now that things have come to this, I will no longer pretend to be a gentleman. I admit that I did make mistakes before, but they were all mistakes I made when I was young. I thought I loved watching Big Brother and the female voice actors get along, and I was projecting myself onto Big Brother, but I was wrong. In fact, I only love to watch Big Brother. As an anime expert and a big blogger, I have high-end channels. You will never go wrong if you follow me!"

"Heisei's Kong Ming: Let's not talk about anything else. According to my information, IMAS is planning to hold a concert for each group of Idol King 2. I will really be able to enjoy the singing and dancing of the big brother then!"

"Shinjuku Ex-girlfriend: OK OK."

"Austrian Boyfriend: Love You?"

"Brother Dong: If you don't mind, I'm willing to serve you."

"Golden P.E.K.A.'s Five:?"

The cool office worker, the only honest man, put down his phone in exhaustion. The things on the Internet were too fake and he couldn't grasp them.

……

Shinjuku, the old place.

Yin Ze held his cell phone in his arms and waited anxiously, his frowning face like a middle-aged man waiting for his mid-month salary to be paid and his loan repayment. He took out the lollipop from his mouth and sighed softly.

"Did you buy a lottery ticket?" Kashiwa Ippei couldn't help but ask. He had passed by with documents and had come back to find that the man was still looking at his phone with a sad face.

"They said they were going to release the first advertisement for FGO. It's been half a day, but there's still no advertisement. The efficiency is too low." Yin Ze chose to continue refreshing the status.

"So what if it's published?" Kashiwa Ippei said calmly. He didn't have the mentality of a manager who would be proud and happy that his voice actor got a big IP job. Instead, he was complaining, "It's a mobile game, and you, as the protagonist, didn't even record the most basic 'hello'. You're more silent than Final Fantasy. At least the expansion CG over there can say a few words. I think it's only worthwhile to stand at the event platform."

"Nonsense, when it comes to making fried rice, Type-Moon is not inferior to others. There will definitely be an animation in the future." Yin Ze counterattacked.

"But, you've already starred in the Fate anime."

"?"

Does this mean it's in reverse?

"Don't worry about your lack of work participation anymore. It will only lower my opinion of you," Kashiwai Ippei encouraged.

"Oh? So you think highly of me?" Yin Ze was curious.

"You deserve brighter lights and more cheers, and the fans' attention is focused on you." Kashiwa Ippei consoled him, "I wonder if Xiaobailong still remembers "The Idol King 2"?"

"The work that made you drunk and made me work hard to find you on the streets?" Yin Ze asked.

"Yes, it's the work in which Yoshitsugu Matsuoka first got a named role, and in which you two met Shimazaki Nobunaga and formed a triangular friendship!" Kashiwai Ippei's voice was loud.

"Didn't the combination of the three of us fall into disuse?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"It's an IMAS project after all, and it's a sequel to the original, so there's no reason to ignore it." Kashiwa Ippei said, "The first attempt at a boy band was indeed ill-considered... But the general direction won't change, and female-oriented content is a big market."

The outrageous operations of "King of the Idols 2" are indeed quite exciting, but the quality of the game itself is rather strange. There is an illusion that the planners deliberately went against the players' preferences. In comparison, the so-called female-oriented male group is completely dispensable amid a host of obvious rigid shortcomings.

This battle not only greatly reduced the popularity of the series, but also caused Bandai Namco's stock price to fall to its lowest level in the past two years.

Japanese manufacturers are quite volatile when it comes to making games. The upper limit is extremely high, and the lower limit is also unexpected.

However, the subsequent work, "The Idol King: Cinderella Girl", worked and successfully revived the popularity of the series, which lived up to its previous achievements. By the way... This game released on the Mobage platform was jointly developed by Bandai Namco and the newly established CyGames.

So the circle of people who work in the gaming industry is really not that big.

After that, I heard that "Idol King Side M" which is mainly aimed at female audiences was also released. Of course, Master Yin would not pay attention to this type of game. This is something he occasionally heard when chatting with friends in the industry. Of course, it was from the game industry.

The "Mars" group, which was dubbed by the Audio-Technica team, was naturally transferred to this game. Although as a voice actor, I did not receive any invitation to re-record, it may be because of my "origin" that is more sensitive.

But to be honest, Master Yin is not very optimistic about the Side M project... Judging from his identity as a game developer rather than a voice actor, I always feel that the trends of related web games and mobile games are not very good, and I feel that not too many resources and thoughts will be allocated to them.

After all, where can you buy glue incense?

"You know more about the game than I do." Kashiwa Ippei reluctantly admitted, "Anyway, they're calling me, asking if I can participate in the event, like a Live or something."

"Haha, I'm not going!" Yin Ze is only concerned about the restoration of humanity now.

"Very good!" Kashiwai Ippei said surprisingly.

This has made someone really confused.

"The two-dimensional idol project is already an outdated product. Now you are the 20 billion yen man and the most anticipated new actor!" Kashiwai Ippei gradually went crazy.

It was so scary, I thought my agent had changed suddenly.

"Hmph, that's how it is. Although those who know about business understand, I am naturally a little unhappy from a moral point of view." Kashiwa Ippei folded his hands, "Bandai made a bad product in the beginning, which was a heinous crime and caused complaints from players. Then, in order to deal with Yan Shang, they did various things and put your characters aside. Now that things are better, I want to start over. On the one hand, it can be said that we should have a beginning and an end. On the other hand, it may be that I see that your careers have made great progress, and I want to give back to the unpopular characters in a disguised way."

This is quite interesting.

The competition among voice actors is fierce, and it is extremely difficult to stand out.

As a result, if this small cold dish is used to sell tickets now, it will make a lot of money based on the quality of the people involved.

"...You are still quite real." Yin Ze said.

"When it was about to be shelved, I had already discussed the contract with them. As for the rest of the project, you can do it if you want to, and don't do it if you don't want to. I told you this purely to inform you. Although Shimazaki Nobunaga-kun is not from our agency, it is the same for him." Kashiwai Ippei explained.

Yin Ze really couldn't imagine the silly look of Kashiwa Jing-ge who was at a disadvantage. He could only say that he had no background or connections, but he could become the department head and the best of the year at Dentsu at a young age just by his ability. He was truly an urban elite. Ayane's agent, Kenki Kyoka, also often praised this guy.

Why would such a talented person give up a good future in a big company in the Japanese workplace with lifetime employment culture and become a small voice actor agent who is at the bottom of the entertainment industry?

When a man has wasted his time, there will always be some discouraging things hidden in his heart. Those things are like a fine needle that is difficult to see with the naked eye, and you are a balloon.

The small needle will not make the balloon burst, there will not be much pain and despair, it will just poke a small hole.

Ideals, optimism, passion... these things quietly leak out through the small holes.

You don't feel any pain, you just feel like a balloon, a balloon that is gradually deflation.

Perhaps, one night soon, in a noisy street shop, fueled by beer, Yin Ze will be able to hear the story of the past.

"It's just that Matsuoka seems to care about it a lot. After all, it's his first role with a name." Kashiwai Ippei said, "And you two are his partners."

"I remember when he was talking about participating in the idol project, he was super nervous and trained frequently, and even learned the character's stunt backflip. Later, the plan was cancelled, and he felt very sorry. He must have really wanted to participate in the Live and wanted to give the three of us a chance to meet for the first time and a complete ending." Yin Ze recalled.

"You can discuss this among yourselves. We are all brothers after all." Kashiwa Ippei smiled, "...Friendship is so unpredictable. Cherish it."

Chapter 215 Brave Bull

Finally, on an ordinary day.

Fate/Grand Order's advertisement is now available!

"This is the last era when magic still exists. Society is built by human hands, but it is magicians who hold the truth of the world. Magic is in charge of the technology of mankind's past that science cannot explain, and science accumulates the technology of mankind's future that magic cannot achieve. Apprentices of these two incompatible disciplines are like-minded only in one point - that is, protecting human history. "

"That is time travel back to the past. The practitioner is sent to the past in spirit form, and by intervening in events, a forbidden ritual is performed to find the singularity of space and time, and to find out the truth or destroy it."

"It's called the Holy Grail Quest, the Grand Prix Designation. This is the general term for everything that exists to protect humanity, to fight against human history, and to fight against fate."

Type-Moon has always been a master at making fried rice, and if a chef is not ugly, he will definitely have a group of loyal diners. In other words, Type-Moon can master such a skill of flipping the wok, and the stickiness of the fans of Moon Man is naturally rare among the people. Everyone rushes in both directions, so that there can be a series of cup-grabbing melees.

The news about FGO has been revealed before. As soon as the news of the card collection mobile game came out, players have been looking forward to it. To be honest, most people didn't expect it to be launched so soon... After all, overnight cold rice has special effects for making fried rice. If it is cold rice that is ten years old, not only will it not go bad, but it will also be as fragrant as old wine.

As soon as FGO's CM was released, it was played continuously. Places with a strong two-dimensional atmosphere such as Akihabara also put up posters, and the discussion on N Station was even more heated.

The information from the pioneering heroes immediately attracted the players' attention.

The voice actor lineup is quite luxurious. In addition to the familiar faces of the original cast, there are also young first-line figures.

The designated protagonist of this work, Fujimaru Ritsuka, is played by Takizawa Satoru.

The heroine of this work, Mashu Kyrielight, who has a cute appearance and a rare job, is played by Risa Taneda.

Oh hoo!

It can be said that both of them are voice actors that otakus love to see. Before they even get to play the role, there have been praises for them. After all, these two have both had high-quality works, and more than one. They have excellent acting skills, are interesting people, and have a tacit understanding as a partner. Needless to say, there is no need to say more.

Under the official promotion, people flocked to the moon, feeling the joy of the New Year.

"Judging from the lineup, this is indeed an unprecedented Holy Grail War."

"The Fate series is becoming more and more complete"
