Tokyo Sound

The girl has presented everything she prepared very well.

She began to wait silently for further instructions.

If there is any more——

"Can we try Sawabe Tsubaki's lines?" The production staff working at their desks suddenly said across the glass.

Sakura Ayane tilted her head slightly in surprise at the unexpected request, but she did not refuse, and got what she wanted immediately, which was also a reflection of being an excellent voice actor.

This character is the childhood sweetheart who also cares about the protagonist.

Even though I don't understand classical music and we don't have any common topics, I still feel worried and try my best to provide support.

And what’s strange is that even though I have achieved this point, it takes so long for me to realize my own feelings.

"I was stupid, so I didn't understand myself at all. I wanted to pretend I knew nothing and stay by his side, thinking it would last forever."

Sakura Ayane read the lines. She felt that she could relate to this character. It reminded her of her youthful days.

"I know, I'm not qualified to think about this kind of thing. But, it's still annoying, annoying, those things that make me annoying... annoying."

"We have always been together. I have always been by your side, sharing your joys and sorrows. But since when did we become more and more distant? I am no longer by your side, but she is standing by your side."

"Hate it, look at me... look at me! Don't look at other people with that look—"

This lemony, winter-rainy mood is also understandable.

Besides the sweetness and sourness, there is also a sense of confusion and bitterness.

But if I were to answer the same question myself now.

Then the answer is obvious.

"What if I run away one day?" Yin Ze had already lost all the points in his account, so he no longer occupied the computer.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, we broke up and it's hard to keep in touch," said Yin Ze.

"...Of course, the fewer separations there are, the better." The girl thought for a moment, "But some people meet again precisely because of separation. When you turn a corner in life that you would never turn, you'll walk a path that you would never walk. There, you'll welcome a tomorrow that you would never welcome, and ahead, you'll encounter small miracles that you would never encounter."

The man was happier than he had imagined after hearing this, and even couldn't help rubbing the girl's hair.

……

"Thank you for your hard work."

Sakura Ayane finished her audition, bowed, and exited the studio.

Although she didn't produce as many works as those of her contemporaries, she still had the professional acumen of a voice actor. When she was offered another role, she probably realized that she might miss out on the leading role.

I was a little bit depressed, after all, I failed in the challenge. But I wasn't too discouraged, because I had done my best to prepare.

Then comes curiosity.

So what kind of voice does Miyazono Kaoru need?

That voice will say forcefully, "Dry air, the smell of dust, we are in it, on our journey."

That voice would also say in fear, "It's your fault. This is all your fault. I am struggling to survive like this, and it's all your fault. It's you who made me miss the time I spent with you."

Be as weak as the water that is about to dry up, but at the same time, shine like the afterglow before the night.

Be like a heartbeat.

Boom, boom, boom.

It is the sound of the beating of life.

Risa Taneda came to the recording studio with the script in her hand. Before pushing open the door and going in, she clenched her fist slightly to cheer herself up.

...Okay, let’s do our best this time too.

Chapter 223 Subjective Initiative

"Look at you, you didn't get selected." Yin Ze said while peeling a candy with a smile.

"I made the choice, but it was the wrong one." Sakura Ayane propped up her head and muttered, "...In the end it's Taneda-san again. Do your voices really match well? You've acted opposite each other so many times, the audience should be tired of it."

"I actually had similar thoughts, but there was nothing I could do. She and I were so strong. We were trying out separately, but we both stood out. Isn't that a collaboration?" Yin Ze sighed. He is now well-rounded in morals, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics. He is both mentally and technically proficient, dominating the entire eighth generation of voice actors, and he is the most popular. He has been nominated for the role several times, and his audition record is even more brilliant.

I remember discussing the level of the industry with Hikasa Yoko-san. A few years later, someone has already been crowned with a halo of success and is rushing towards breaking the circle and having an influence.

For an artist, whether or not to get an endorsement, and the quality and quantity of the endorsements, are a reflection of their value, strength, and status.

And Master Yin actually got a formal endorsement business cooperation as a voice actor, and also got to star in commercials and appear on camera. It's really extraordinary!

——But why is the product underwear? The agent looked at the samples sent by the factory, namely the soft and elastic men's boxer briefs, and fell into deep thought.

In the end, Kashiwa Ippei tearfully refused to cooperate.

After a while, the agent received another advertisement. He opened the document and found that the product was actually lipstick?! He was instantly delighted and was already imagining shooting close-up, appearing on TV stations, and selling out.

But wait and see carefully later.

"Sincerely invite teachers to draw promotional posters for our new products. The requirements are Ukiyo-e style, strong painting sense, strong brushstrokes, and clear themes. The size is 860*570mm. The reference picture is as follows..."

Do not! ! !

Why did this weird thing show up in my mailbox?!

This is a new job. I remember my uncle is in advertising. Let's ask him. Yin Ze made a call and walked away with the information. Only the sound of official communication could be heard.

Only Kashiwai Ippei was left, sleeping peacefully in the work chair like a baby.

In short, for Qi Ba, the successive victories in the auditions are just a tiny manifestation of his or her Qi Ba power.

The sound director also had his reasons for saying that voice actors who frequently appear in shows like these are really useful, so they were chosen.

At least compared to this complex representative of the eighth generation of voice actors, the discussion surrounding Risa Taneda is much more normal.

"Taneda-san is amazing. It seems like you have rarely played minor roles. You have participated in excellent productions and have a leading role every season. Your career is climbing too fast. It makes people jealous." Sakura Ayane said admiringly, "Even you and Matsuoka played so many passers-by in the early stage."

"Speaking of which, she was indeed quite successful. Originally, "Hyouka" was her debut work, and she auditioned for a small role, but she was moved by Takemoto-san and auditioned for Chitanda." Yin Ze nodded. This concept is just like when he first debuted and auditioned for Elredo, but ended up auditioning for the first position. It is also a rare thing in the industry.

"But wasn't it the same when you were acting in Firefly Forest?" Yin Ze thought of another thing.

"That's a big difference. We didn't have many competitors at the time. Also, directors of animated films seem to be more casual about selecting voice actors. They will use voice actors who are not professional. They focus on the film itself. The characters have been created at the same time as the script. They just need someone to voice them." Sakura Ayane said, "In fact, looking back now, our dubbing was also average, but it didn't affect the quality of the film itself."

"What are you talking about? I'm a talented person. Even though I was misunderstood as an idol in the past, it's still remarkable." Yin Ze snorted.

"Aren't you looking for me to talk to relieve your tension?" asked Sakura Ayane.

"It's mainly to relieve your tension." Yin Ze said honestly.

"I didn't expect that such a heartwarming story has been kept secret. How can I repay you?" Sakura Ayane Hakoshi said.

"Haha, then give me a shoulder rub." Yin Ze waved his hand.

"Okay, but my hands are a little cold, so I don't want to chill you. Let me warm your belly first." Sakura Ayane said. And someone was sitting with his belly open, so he easily covered his belly through his thin sweater and asked in confusion, "...Why don't you have a belly?"

"How could that be possible for someone as self-disciplined as me?" Yin Ze said sadly.

"But, most people will have some fat in their stomachs when they sit down," said Sakura Ayane, grabbing her waist.

"how about you?"

"I definitely have it too. I'm a normal weight." Sakura Ayane emphasized the word "normal". In her early years, her father laughed at her for feeling the vibration when she walked up the stairs, but now she uses strength and cold violence to eliminate his opinions.

Yin Ze was not shy, he stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's belly, then his face changed drastically, "What an expensive piece of pork loin!"

"Wow wow wow what did you say?!" Sakura Ayane was so angry that her face turned red, her eyebrows were raised, and her voice became rough. It seemed that the Nioh bloodline was awakened in excitement. Now, let alone rubbing someone's shoulders, rubbing their heads was no problem.

"Stadium owner, spare me. I shouldn't have complained about the high price of meat. After all, where can I buy it now? These are all from the industry. Aunt Zhisen raised them with great effort..." Yin Ze dodged with his body, but he kept talking. In the end, he even laughed himself out loud. "Haha, no more, no more. Let's continue to criticize the industry. That's where I was just now."

"Speaking of Taneda-san." Sakura Ayane supported her head.

"Oh, people who grow crops are not fat, they are well-proportioned."

"?"

"What I mean is that in the current idolization environment, Taneda-san, as a female voice actor, is not relying on her image, but on her outstanding professional qualities to hone her career better and better." Yin Ze said seriously.

"I'll take it seriously." Sakura Ayane laughed.

"But I think it's true." Yin Ze touched his chin, "Compared to colleagues in the same situation, she has very little business, and she is even stingy when posting selfies."

"I don't doubt Mr. Taneda's ability, I just doubt the sincerity of your words." Sakura Ayane explained lightly.

"I always praise people sincerely, so don't make random assumptions." Yin Ze snorted.

"But male and female voice actors face different professional challenges. Although talented male voice actors are long-lasting, that also means that equally excellent predecessors will not give up their positions easily, and the competition has become wider." Sakura Ayane tilted her head, "...the elimination rate of female voice actors is really too fast. It feels like they are fighting against time."

"To be honest, no one's voice is irreplaceable. Haven't you seen the voices of the main characters in those national old animation series that have been serialized for decades? They have changed several times." Yin Ze said, "Even people with works can be replaced. This is the cruelest thing in the voice actor industry."

"It does sound very uncomfortable." Sakura Ayane nodded slightly.

"But love is irreplaceable." Yin Ze stretched his body. "If everything is a transaction, and creation is just for fame and fortune that will expire, then I wouldn't still listen to old songs from the 80s and 90s today."

The stickers on the wall have turned yellow, and the little idol with the fluffy hair may be an old woman today, but the youth left in the passionate years will never fade. In the coming hot summer and late autumn, we will no longer see the old man fanning himself in the yard, but the chirping sounds echoing in the streets and alleys after school, and the smell of firewood from dinner, will fade away but still linger.

"Similarly, your immature performance in the Firefly Forest will also be preserved forever." Yin Ze said seriously, "I kept the BD."

"Although it's cruel and everyone will leave in the end - but we can't stop creating memories and love." Sakura Ayane's eyes were shining and she nodded vigorously, but soon hugged her head, "Ahhh, then this is going to be another part of me regretting my wrong audition choice!"

"..." Yin Ze scratched his head. Poor kid, he's already starting to fight against himself.

At this time, a wild agent in a suit and tie appeared.

"Little White Dragon, come here quickly." Kashiwa Ippei walked over from the office area and waved over here.

"What do you want?" Yin Ze asked.

"Hey, come here." Kashiwa Ippei said coquettishly.

Master Yin was about to stand up, but when he saw that this guy was hesitant and had bad intentions, he immediately hesitated.

"It's about work, right? Go and get busy. I also have to go find Sister Kyoka. I didn't realize I've been chatting with you here for so long." Sakura Ayane regretted it and felt guilty. She shook her head and walked away.

Yin Ze looked at his agent who had his hands behind his back. The woman looked like a girl who was about to confess her love to a senior. Her expression was three parts awkward, three parts complacent, and three parts expectant, and her toes were drawing circles on the ground.

Grass.

The man felt a chill in his heart and immediately ran faster, of course, in the completely opposite direction.

"What are you doing? You don't owe me money!" Kashiwa Ippei has been practicing behavioral science for many years, and his precursor perception has been activated. He noticed someone's movements and chased after him in advance.

"You don't act like a human today, so it's reasonable for me to run away." Yin Ze said coldly.

"What nonsense! I just want to ask you if you can play the piano," said Kashiwai Ippei.

"I definitely won't." Yin Ze answered immediately.

"I've thought about it all. When the event comes, you will go on stage and play Beethoven. I will record a video in the front row, and then promote it and do some soft advertising. Young female fans will definitely... What did you just say?" Kashiwai Ippei was originally in high spirits, but suddenly frowned and asked again.

"I can't play the piano." Yin Ze said.

"What?! Didn't you pass the audition?" Kashiwai Ippei was surprised.

"Then I became Elredo in 09. Have I ever sunk?" Yin Ze was speechless.

"No, that's impossible. How could there be something you can't do—" Kashiwa Ippei was like a believer whose faith was tested. Although he was slightly shaken, he quickly regained his confidence. "It's okay, just say it boldly. Even if a few more big names in the music industry come up, even if another company wants to poach me, I don't mind. Just be yourself."

"I really can't." Yin Ze emphasized.

"That's not possible? The prerequisites for the shadow clone are not met?" Kashiwa Ippei was slightly stunned. "Let me think about it. You went to Shinjuku and became an original artist, went to Kyoto and became a animation supervisor, and went to Tohoku and became a potential movie actor. Where should you go to become a pianist of Xiao Sai's level?"

"You are here to complete the job transfer task!" Yin Ze's eyes widened, "I can only draw, and I learned acting later!"

"How dare you! You are invincible! I will not allow you to slander yourself! You must have special stage talent!" Kashiwai Ippei has learned the behavior of the White Dragon to the point of obsession. He even believes in the possibility of the White Dragon more than the priest Set, so he is furious at this moment.

Make sense.

After overclocking the corridor of life, it is feasible to imitate and copy other people's performances. Anyway, just copy them, there is no skill, it is all copying.

But that will only make the agent more deeply involved in idolatry and superstition!

Maybe there were too many strange things happening over the years, coupled with the previous advertising incident, which finally made the agent start to act a little abnormal.

Every teenager has moments when his ideals are shattered.

I will kill the agent's devilish fantasy.

Saori Ohnishi watched the whole process, or rather, she had been watching it secretly from the beginning, and her biggest feeling was: Sakura-senpai is indeed extraordinary, actually making a move. She tiptoed to the work area to see what was going on there.

As expected, they collided.
