Tokyo Sound

A small group of people, busy and lively.

Yin Ze looked at his phone and laughed out loud. He was happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Under the brilliant orange sunset, his comfortable figure leaning against the car body formed a very beautiful silhouette.

……

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was so happy about this that he would smile foolishly for several days. Whenever he went back to the office and met acquaintances, he would share this good news. Hikasa Yoko and Nakajima Masashi were surprised and full of emotion.

"Kashiwai and Kenki... is that the case? I didn't even notice any signs." After hearing this, Masao Eda let out a sigh of relief, "But when I think about it carefully, they are quite a good match. Alas, as I get older, there are fewer and fewer good news in life, but this is definitely good news. It seems that my mood will be better for the whole day."

"Hey, wait a minute. Do you think it's possible that they quit because of the company's rule that prohibits dating?" Masao Eda asked solemnly.

"You are the president, and you ask me?" Yin Ze said.

The agency has a rule that voice actors in the same agency cannot fall in love with each other, not even with their agents... The plot of agents developing romantic comedies with their artists probably only exists in two-dimensional game planning and light novels. After all, in the end, this kind of thing is likely to ruin both parties' careers. The plan that voice actors imagine, first becoming an agent and then dating a popular voice actor, is actually very unlikely to work.

How can you do dubbing work well if you work with an agent with bad intentions?

But it is possible between agents from the same agency.

"If there is a banquet someday, please remind me and pass on a red envelope for me." Masao Eda said nostalgically, "The couple helped me a lot, I must thank them."

How come they become a couple here...Yin Ze was embarrassed. Bosses are creatures who always tend to look far away.

"Actually, there's one more thing I need to consult you about." Masao Eda suddenly became serious, "It seems like Matsuoka and Minase Inori have a very good relationship... eh? Are they just friendly business? Or do they really have a good relationship?"

"In my humble opinion, it's the latter." Yin Ze also said solemnly.

"I see." Masao Eda nodded, folded his hands, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Time flies. Matsuoka, who used to cause broadcasting accidents easily, has grown up a lot now."

"It's okay, he occasionally has production accidents now and then." Yin Ze added tenderly.

"But Minase Inori is more of an idol type, so I hope Matsuoka can consider her more and be more cautious," said Masao Eda.

"Is it possible that we are still just friends?" Yin Ze scratched his head. He thought that the boss is the boss, the money has not been deposited yet, but he is already thinking about withdrawing the interest. He really thinks about everything three years in advance.

"Hmm? Are you sure?" asked Masao Eda.

"Should, right?" Yin Ze was not very confident. After all, the behavior of the two people walking under the moon on the last trip to the beach was not innocent.

"Well, they once won the Best Male Voice Actor and Best Female Voice Actor awards in the same session. If they can really succeed, it will be a good story in the industry." Masao Eda thought for a while.

"Best Voice Actor, I should be getting it soon." Yin Ze was a little expectant.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, you have been selected." Masao Eda said. If a T0 character in the current version cannot get this, it will make people doubt the fairness of the voice actor award. While thinking, he remembered one more thing, "By the way, when are you and Matsuoka going to update the official photos? You are fine, the change is not too big, just a little more familiar, Matsuoka, those who understand will understand..."

"If he changes, I will change." Yin Ze said.

"What a coincidence, that's what he told me." Black lines appeared on Masao Eda's forehead.

"After finishing filming these dramas, I would like to take a short vacation. Please approve it." Yin Ze made the application.

"Of course no problem. You must have a good rest and don't overwork yourself." Masao Eda agreed.

"OK, I'll get busy then. I'll take some snacks with me as small gifts for my colleagues on the set." Yin Ze applied again.

"Just take it. Pick the most expensive one. Don't save money for me," Masao Eda encouraged.

Yin Ze walked away with his head held high.

The president was left to ponder. In fact, he wanted to ask more than just about Matsuoka's interpersonal relationships. But in the end, he couldn't ask.

I didn’t dare ask, for fear that the main pillar of the company would also write a letter of resignation.

Alas, people only envy the president for having T1 in his left hand and T0 in his right hand, looking down on the industry and making money without doing anything. In fact, the president is also a human being, and he also has pressure. Who can he tell about his distress?

……

Studio.

The carefully crafted animation collection work is nearing completion.

A bewildered sigh.

In the sound of the wind, Taki's hair was gently lifted. The sweat stopped for a moment. The temperature seemed to drop suddenly, and the sun had sunk behind the clouds without knowing when. The outline of the world became mottled and soft. The sky was still bright, but the ground was completely covered by faint shadows. The pink transition light filled the surroundings.

"——At dusk."

"——At dusk."

The sounds overlap.

Taki turned his head and looked.

Sanye is right there, her helpless expression is adorable and makes people laugh.

“…Taki-kun? Taki-kun?” Kamishiraishi Moone cried out, “You’re here! Is it really you?”

"I came to see you," Yin Ze said in that classic gentle voice that every male voice actor should master, "It's so hard. You live so far away."

"But, but what? What should I do at that time?" asked Kamishiraishi Mone.

"I drank your chewed wine." Yin Ze put himself in the protagonist's shoes, experiencing the hardships along the way, and spoke softly, bearing the pain.

silence.

Silence for a few seconds.

“Ah?” Kamishiraishi Mone let out a breath of disbelief, “Ah…ah. You, you drank that?!”

"Yes." Yin Ze nodded, taking his place as the protagonist. In short, it can be summed up in four words: I enjoy it.

"Idiot! Pervert!"

"Uh-huh?"

"Also, I remember now, you touched my breasts, right?"

"You, how did you know?"

"Yoto saw everything, okay!" Kamishiraishi Mone said with her hands on her hips.

"Hiss, only, only once."

"Really?" Kamishiraishi Mone paused in doubt, then reacted, "No, does this have anything to do with the number of times? Idiot!"

A brief reunion.

On the screen, the sky had been dyed blue and purple, and the comet with a long tail of light had begun to appear. The temperature dropped little by little, and the light faded little by little.

"It's okay, there's still time. By the way, in order for us not to forget each other after we wake up, let's write each other's names on the palm of each other's hands, Sanye." Yin Ze said softly.

"...Yeah!" Kamishiraishi Moeyin responded.

The girl smiled, took the boy's hand and put the tip of her pen close to it.

Click.

A cold, hard sound that made the heart skip a beat.

The pen fell to the ground.

There was no one in front of the boy. The scenery sank into a dark blue curtain, and in the darkness below, only the faint trace of Lake Itomori remained. Night had completely arrived.

Yin Ze took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then he would go all out.

In the exquisite pictures with Makoto Niito's characteristics, the timeline is precisely aligned. The words of the scorching sun are revealed.

"No matter where you are in the world, I will definitely come to see you again."

"Your name is Mitsuha. No problem, I won't forget it. I won't forget it."

"Three leaves, three leaves."

"Your name is—"

The fluent words suddenly turned into a thorn, stuck in the throat, unable to move.

"You, you are..."

Yin Ze gritted his teeth, his voice gradually trembling, with a sense of fear and a desperate effort not to let go.

"Why am I here? Yes, I came here for her. I came here to see her and to help her. I don't want her to die!"

"Who is it, who is it, who is it, who is it!"

Yin Ze's voice was like a fallen and broken porcelain plate, carrying with it a wave of sadness and the great loneliness and coldness that followed.

“Important people, people who can’t be forgotten, people who I don’t want to forget.”

“Your name is—?!”

The continuous output of emotions, layer by layer, seemed to be wrestling with the gods. In the end, the surging emotions collapsed and broke apart like a castle of gravel. In the torrent of farewell, the cry spread far away, back and forth in the void, and finally calmed down and weakened until it was completely silent and soundless.

Along with these words, the comet split and fell from the sky. In this sad and beautiful desperate situation, the boy and girl ran towards each other in both directions.

It was really great. Kamishiraishi Mone was full of admiration, and Makoto Nido, who was listening outside, also felt his heart beating faster.

last of the last.

At the intersection.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"Me too."

"Excuse me."

"Your name is?"

The red light recorded turns green for the last time.

"Congratulations on the final shot!" Makoto Nidu jumped up from his seat, holding two bouquets of flowers, and rushed into the recording studio.

“You’re welcome.” Yin Ze took the bouquet.

"Wow, that's great, it's all over here." Makoto Nido took off his glasses and spoke excitedly while sniffling like a child.

“Director, please don’t be like this…” Kamishiraishi Mone originally managed to hold back, but seeing this, her eyes started to turn red. This work was also an unforgettable experience for her. “It’s so good that it has a happy ending in the end. It’s so great that we met.”

"Yeah, Brother Cheng really has a bad taste. He even added a few passing shots at the end. It's like dreaming about the train bombing scene." Yin Ze laughed.

"I'm not just focused on 'breakup endings', okay? I'm not that bad." Makoto Nido wiped his nose, calmed down and said, "I also like reunions, but I thought the audience would prefer stories with regrets."

"Oh, so from another perspective, now both the audience and you have become softer due to the passage of time, and want warm happiness more."

Yin Ze patted the director on the shoulder.

"Okay, okay, I want pure love. I hate destroying relationships."

"This is a rare opportunity, let's take a commemorative wrap-up photo." Makoto Nido said happily.

"Wipe your nose first." Yin Ze reminded kindly.

"Okay." After quickly wiping it, Makoto Nido hugged someone with great emotion. This animation supervisor and voice actor contributed a lot to this movie and is a hero that cannot be ignored.

"I'm really convinced. What were you thinking? You actually used wet wipes to wipe it!" Yin Ze simply couldn't avoid it, but was finally hit by the death hug and leaned back in disgust.

"I feel like the teacher is a little different today than usual, more energetic." Nido Makoto chuckled, "Very good, let's take advantage of this enthusiasm and have a wrap-up banquet tonight. We have to eat well and not only to be full."

Chapter 108: Absolutely Great, Ready to be Screened

Makoto Nito's film was invested by Toho, and he himself was a real estate tycoon, so the wrap-up party was held at a very high standard. A large group of people were invited, and more than a dozen tables were set up in the hotel, with large lobsters and crabs on every table.

Yin Ze didn’t know how much “Your Name” could sell, but hey, no matter how much it sold, he would only get a fixed salary, so he might as well open the champagne first.

"Friends! After everyone's joint efforts, the animation production is completed. I would like to thank the people in the industry for their help, the voice actors for their wonderful performances, Toho Co., Ltd. for building a creative platform, and the producers and sales department leaders for their care and concern..." Makoto Nido was giving a wrap-up speech while holding up a goblet.

Yin Ze nodded in response and poured wine for everyone. Kamishiraishi Mone couldn't drink wine, so he poured juice instead.

“…I sincerely hope that there will be more high-quality projects like this in the future. We believe that through professional artistic creation and careful polishing by an excellent production team, this animation will surely convey Director Nido’s healing warmth to more audiences. All departments have made efforts and contributions in this collaboration. I wish you all good health and continued success. I wish the animation a great success. Let us meet again in beautiful Tokyo. Our true love will last forever!” Kawamura Genki also began to express his gratitude.

Everyone applauded, skipped the ceremony, and couldn't wait to start the feast.

The director and the producer teamed up to take a walk around, and when they came back they discovered that the table where someone was sitting was consuming food the fastest in the venue.

"Let me tell you, this is the quickest and most time-saving way to peel shrimps." Yin Ze even taught her how to do it, demonstrating to Mone Kamishiraishi the wonderful method of peeling the shells - and then she ate them by herself with soy sauce.

As expected of you, Shimazaki Nobunaga thought. As a voice actor for a supporting role, it was normal for him to sit at this table.

"Hey, Brother Cheng, you're back. Let me share with you a little trick for choosing crab meat." Yin Ze took the initiative to say.

"No need, I can do it myself." Nido Makoto defended calmly.

"Oh, I have to have a drink with this senior dual director/voice actor." Kawamura Genki's eyes flashed with a wise look. Let's see how he uses his experience in socializing, taking advantage of the drunkenness to make the other party waver, and guide him to transfer to Toho Entertainment. Haha, the small cup hides the great darkness and terror of the business world.

How alcohol resistant can a good student from Tokyo University be?
