[00:04] Kir     First, enunciation exercises. [00:06] Kir     Repeat after me: [00:08] ---     A, e, i, u, e, o, a, o. [00:12] Kir     Go ahead. [00:13] All     A, e, i, u, e, o, a, o. [00:17] Kir     Turn to the mirror and     change your expression. [00:19] Kir     Joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure. [00:21] ---     Go ahead. [00:22] All     Joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure. [00:25] Kir     Wonderful! We'll stop here for today. [00:28] All     Thank you! [00:33] Rio     Hey, everyone! [00:35] Han     Did something happen? [00:37] Rio     Yeah, I've been telling     everyone about the dorm. [00:40] Rio     Look. [00:42] Rio     What do you think? [00:43] Rio     This is where you'll all live. Looks nice, huh? [00:46] Rio     Many fledgling voice actresses don't     have a stable income or living situation. [00:50] Rio     But I think Masaki-san wants you all to be     able to focus on your work and your lessons. [00:56] Chi     An environment where you     can focus is important. [00:59] Rio     Right? [01:00] Rio     The interior of the second     floor will be done next week, [01:03] ---     then eight of you can move in. [01:04] Rio     The rest will be living on the third     floor, so that'll be a bit later. [01:08] Rio     Please make sure you talk     to your parents about it. [01:11] Miha     Who will the first eight be? [01:13] Rio     We'll need to discuss that with Masaki-san. [01:16] Rio     But ultimately, all of you     will be living there. [01:22] Rio     Hello, Isuzu speaking. [01:24] Rio     Yes, I'm with AiRBLUE. [01:26] Rio     What? The Bloom Ball audition results?! SIGN    This Meeting Is Destiny [03:05] Prod     We'll now go into the selection     of the cast for Bloom Ball. [03:09] Sak     Muryozaka-sensei couldn't be with us     today due to an upcoming deadline, [03:13] Sak     but she has let me know     her thoughts on the casting. [03:16] Sak     First, a note from her: [03:19] Sak     "I have cast all the characters     according to how I envision them. [03:23] Sak     I understand that I'm a complete     layperson in this field, [03:25] Sak     so if anything doesn't fit, please don't     hesitate to make corrections." [03:28] Sak     That's it. [03:29] Prod     All right. [03:31] Prod     Anno-san, please go ahead. [03:34] Sak     Starting with the role of Midarezaki Hibana... [03:37] Sak     Yuzuka Nozomi-san. [03:38] Fuku     Oh, I second that! [03:41] Sai     I think she'll be a great fit. [03:43] Prod     She's popular and fits the image, too. [03:46] Prod     I agree, as well. [03:48] Sak     Next, the role of Yukihara Rikka... [03:51] Sak     Nagihara Kotoko-san. [03:53] Fuku     Seconded. [03:55] Sai     She really did the best job. [03:57] Prod     Nice. Please go on. [04:00] Sak     From here it's by school. [04:02] Sak     First is Ultra-hot High School. [04:04] Sak     For Higuruma Tsubaki: Takatori Maika-san. [04:07] Fuku     Huh? [04:09] Fuku     Takatori who? [04:11] Sai     Wasn't she one of the AiRBLUE girls? [04:13] Noz     One moment. I'll pull up her voice file. [04:16] Mai     Here we go! [04:17] Mai     Higuruma Style: Peerless Patriot Shot! [04:20] Fuku     Oh, yes, that lively Tsubaki. [04:23] Noz     But isn't Tsubaki supposed     to be a rich young lady? [04:26] Sak     Here are Sensei's comments. [04:28] Sak     "At first glance, Tsubaki may     look like a rich young lady, [04:30] Sak     but she actually comes from     a working class background. [04:33] Sak     She's not like Rikka, who is most     definitely a rich young lady." [04:36] Sak     So she says. [04:40] Prod     Well, that is unexpected. [04:42] Fuku     Actually, now that I hear that, [04:43] ---     the school Tsubaki transferred     from does look pretty ordinary. [04:49] Prod     What do you think, Saita-san? [04:51] Sai     The truth is, Rikka and Tsubaki have     quite a complicated relationship. [04:55] Sai     It would be beneficial to have a girl with     a distinctly different voice from Nagihara's. [04:59] Sai     Takatori and Nagihara also     have different styles. [05:05] Prod     Still, giving a newbie Tsubaki's role... [05:09] Sak     If that's a problem,     it's fine to make a change. [05:14] Fuku     No, I'd like to do it according     to the setup she suggested. [05:18] Fuku     Also, I think the interplay between a lively     Tsubaki and an unprecedented Hibana [05:21] ---     sounds very interesting. [05:23] Sai     I agree. Let's try it. [05:27] Prod     All right, if you're both fine with it. [05:30] Sak     Thank you. [05:32] Sak     Then let's continue. [05:33] Sak     The role of Rindo Amagi will     be voiced by Kano Shiho-san. [05:37] Fuku     Her voice was solid. [05:38] Prod     I agree with that choice. [05:41] Sak     The role of Shobu Ayame will     be voiced by Tsukii Honoka-san. [05:44] Fuku     Right, Tsukii-san. [05:46] Sai     She had personality. I liked that. [05:49] Sak     Kuwai Amana will be voiced     by Myoko Maria-san. SIGN    Name SIGN    Date of Birth SIGN    Place of Birth SIGN    Hobbies, Talents SIGN    Myoko Maria SIGN    Sep. 15 SIGN    Niigata SIGN     SIGN    Singing, Music      SIGN    Ocarina [05:55] Sak     Tsuwabuki Maya will be     voiced by Kuon Chitose-san. SIGN    Tsuwabuki Maya's Role     1. Kuon Chitose-san     2. Mutsuishi Haruna     3. Tanaka Hiroko SIGN    Mutsuishi Haruna [06:01] Sak     Soya Kogiku will be voiced     by Sawabe Ririko-san. [06:04] Fuku     Very good. [06:06] Mas     We just got the results of the Bloom Ball audition from Sanzan Productions. [06:11] Mas     Since all of you participated in this audition, [06:14] Mas     I'll make an exception and announce     the results to the whole group. [06:17] Mas     I'll only read out the names     of those who got a role. [06:20] Mas     First, the role of Higuruma Tsubaki... [06:23] Mas     Takatori Maika. [06:25] Mai     Me?! [06:26] Har     Maika-chan, that's amazing! [06:28] Mah     Tsubaki is basically a second lead role. [06:31] Rie     So who got the main role of Hibana? [06:34] Mei     Probably... [06:36] Mas     Next, the role of Rindo Amaki. [06:38] Mas     Kano Shiho. [06:39] Shi     I'm not surprised. [06:41] Hon     Hey, you should be happy! [06:44] Mas     Shobu Ayame: Tsukii Honoka. [06:48] Hon     What?! [06:49] Shi     You're not happy. [06:53] Yuu     And is there anyone else? [06:55] Mas     That's it. [06:56] Yuu     D'oh! SIGN    Hana Ranman! Bloom Ball SIGN    Cast Listing [07:00] Miha     Hibana is Yuzuka Nozomi-san,     and Rikka is Nagihara Kotoko-san. [07:04] Sat     They're both very popular voice     actresses, and they have the skills. [07:08] Sat     It's sensible. [07:09] Mah     Honestly, it's a casting that makes sense. [07:15] Har     Kuwai Amana, Tsuwabuki Maya, Soya Kogiku... [07:21] Har     I see. [07:22] Han     I'm honestly... not even sure     if I should be happy or not. [07:27] Mas     You're free to be happy about it. [07:29] Mas     Someone getting a part means     someone else doesn't get it. [07:31] Mas     That's how this field works. [07:32] Han     Okay. [07:33] Rio     But it's awesome of you to consider the     feelings of the girls who didn't make the cut. [07:38] Yuu     Excuse me! [07:41] Yuu     When is the next audition? [07:43] Mas     Huh? [07:44] Rio     Wh-What do you mean? [07:46] Yuu     I may have failed this audition, but I     definitely want to get a part in the next one. [07:51] Yuu     When's the next audition? [07:53] Mas     There won't be one for a while. [07:55] Yuu     D'oh! [07:57] Yuu     Sadness... [07:59] Rio     Yuuki-chan, it was already exceptional that     all of you could audition for Bloom Ball. [08:05] Rio     Normally, at this stage, all you should     be worried about is your lessons. [08:09] ---     Gloom... [08:13] Mas     Well, it's not an audition,     but I do have another project. [08:17] Yuu     What?

[08:44] Mas     Project Vogel is an idol project that     started out with Ponypony Music at its core. [08:50] Rio     Once the voice actresses for     the four girls here are cast, [08:54] Rio     they plan to have them work as     idols who actually sing and dance. [08:59] Mas     They contacted AiRBLUE the other day,     asking if we wanted to work on this project. [09:04] Mas     They asked if we wanted to pick     four girls from our agency [09:07] ---     and help develop the project together. [09:10] Har     So the four girls who get the roles... [09:13] Rio     Well, they'll have their debut. [09:15] Riko     Wow. That means we could     have our debut right away. [09:19] Ayu     Yeah, they would pick all of     the roles from our agency. [09:23] Mei     It doesn't look that simple. SIGN    We're counting on your support for Project Vogel! SIGN    The girls dream of flying sky high... SIGN    Watch them develop with your support!

They expect     to make three million yen, [09:31] Rie     and right now, they have 350,000 yen? [09:34] Rie     So this is about money? [09:36] Mei     Crowd funding. [09:38] Rie     Cloud...? [09:39] Sat     It means they ask regular     people to help fund the project. [09:43] Rie     Does that mean they don't     have the money they need yet? [09:47] Yuzu     So there's not enough money. [09:50] Rio     Right. [09:51] Rio     They just launched this     project, so it looks like [09:54] ---     they've only finished drawing the four girls. [09:57] Yuu     Excuse me, but this doesn't     sound like a voice acting job. [10:01] Rio     Huh? What do you mean? [10:04] Yuu     Singing and dancing doesn't sound     like a voice actress's job. [10:09] Yuu     I was thinking that it     would be anime or dubbing. [10:13] Rio     Yuuki-chan, a voice actress's     job is quite varied these days. [10:17] Mas     She's right. [10:18] Mas     At this stage, there's no guarantee that     it'll be the voice acting job you envision. [10:24] Rio     Masaki-san? [10:26] Mas     It's okay. [10:27] Mas     As Rio said, these days, voice     actresses often get "idol" jobs. [10:33] Mas     But there are also people who     believe that this kind of work [10:37] ---     is not proper voice acting. [10:39] Mas     Rather than worrying about who's right, [10:41] Mas     it's better to think that there     are many different paths. [10:44] Mas     Plus, nobody knows     how far this plan will go. [10:49] Mas     If you participate, you will become very     busy with dancing and singing lessons. [10:54] Mas     But no matter how hard you practice, [10:56] ---     it won't guarantee that the     project will be a success, [10:59] Mas     nor is there any guarantee of this     leading to an anime role in the future. [11:02] Mas     You will all have to decide     what you want to do. [11:06] Mas     If we have four girls who want to do it, [11:08] ---     the agency will consider     participating in this project. [11:15] Yuz     This sounds like fun! [11:18] Chi     Will this really turn out     to be a voice acting job? [11:23] Air     Me... on stage? [11:26] Yuu     No guarantees at all, huh? [11:46] Mas     Come on in. [11:47] Yuu     Excuse me. Tendo Yuuki, coming in. [11:55] Yuu     Huh? Where are the others? [11:58] Mas     There are none.     You're the only one who came. [12:04] Yuu     I see. [12:06] Mas     That doesn't seem to faze you. [12:08] Yuu     That's right. Please let me     participate in the idol job. [12:12] Mas     May I ask you one question? [12:13] Yuu     Go ahead. [12:14] Mas     I've been thinking about this ever since     I announced the results of the audition. [12:18] Mas     Why are you in such a rush? [12:21] Yuu     Oh, that. [12:24] Yuu     Well, the truth is that I may not be able     to continue voice acting for much longer. [12:30] Mas     And why is that? [12:32] Yuu     My dad found out. I'm wondering     if this might be the end. [12:37] Mas     Could you elaborate? [12:40] Yuu     My family runs this restaurant that     has been around since the Edo period. [12:45] Yuu     And my dad is... How should     I put it? Ultra stubborn. [12:48] Mas     And what did your father say? [12:50] Yuu     He said, "You need to stop fooling around     and do work that's more grounded." [12:55] Rio     He sounds strict. [12:57] Yuu     Which is why I'd like to get a     legitimate job as soon as possible. [13:02] Mas     And if you got a legitimate job,     that would change your father's mind? [13:06] Yuu     No, he's the type of person who never     changes his mind once he's said something. [13:12] Yuu     All he wants is for me to     help him at the restaurant, [13:16] Yuu     but he's too stubborn to     just say that straight. [13:19] Yuu     Ideally, I would be able to do both,     but neither of these industries is that easy. [13:25] Yuu     And it's not like I want their     restaurant to go under, either. [13:29] Yuu     But if I had to give up my dream,     I'd hate that even more. [13:33] Mas     I want to respect your decision, [13:36] ---     but you don't have a lot of     time to make up your mind. [13:40] Mas     Come on in. [13:42] Chi     Excuse me. [13:45] ---     I'm Akagawa Chisa. [13:47] Chi     I look forward to working with you. [13:48] Air     I'm Eniwa Airi. [13:50] Air     I'm sorry, good morning. [13:53] Yuz     Look at you, saying "good     morning" like some celebrity. [13:57] ---     I'm Kujo Yuzuha. [13:59] Mas     Good morning, girls. I was waiting for you. [14:02] Yuu     Oh, right. I wasn't the only one. [14:05] Mas     That's why I was saying     that you don't have time. [14:08] Chi     Sorry, were you talking     about something serious? [14:11] Yuu     No, not at all! [14:14] Mas     So you're all here. [14:16] Mas     You're the four people who have decided     to participate in Project Vogel. [14:21] Mas     But I haven't decided yet if we     will participate in the project. [14:28] Air     Why? [14:29] Mas     I want to ask you some questions     before I make that decision. [14:33] Mas     Starting with Yuuki... [14:34] Mas     Why did you decide to     participate in this project? [14:37] Yuu     Well, my da— [14:41] Yuu     It's complicated, so I'll pass! [14:44] Rio     You can't just pass. [14:46] Mas     I understand. It's complicated, then. [14:49] Mas     Next, Airi. The same question. [14:51] Air     R-Right! [14:53] Air     Uh... I'm so sorry. [14:55] ---     M-My fortune this morning     told me that if I got nervous, [14:58] ---     I should just take a deep breath. [15:00] Air     May I do that now? [15:02] Mas     Go ahead. [15:08] Mas     Feeling better? [15:10] Air     Yes! [15:11] Air     I'm sorry, what was the question again? [15:14] Rio     Were you not listening? [15:16] Air     I'm so sorry! [15:17] Air     My fortune also told me that I should     listen to others in moderation. [15:21] Rio     Fortunes say that? [15:23] Mas     Then I'll ask you again. [15:25] Mas     What made you step forward     for this idol project? [15:29] Air     You're right, this is wrong. [15:32] Air     I shouldn't be trying to be an idol. [15:35] Rio     She's just asking a question. [15:37] Air     O-Oh, okay. [15:38] ---     Well... I don't want to be like this anymore! [15:42] Air     Please! [15:44] Mas     Next, Yuzuha. [15:45] Yuz     Me? [15:47] ---     Because I thought this would     make some great memories! [15:49] Rio     Memories? [15:50] Yuz     You need those for life, don't you? [15:53] Yuz     Like memories of summer break. [15:55] Mas     So like a vacation? [15:57] Yuz     Something like that. [15:59] Yuz     Things like that are pretty     important, you know? [16:03] Chi     Okay, why are all of you so weird? [16:06] Rio     Hang on, Chisa-chan... [16:08] Chi     Yuuki, was it? Did you say "pass"? [16:10] Chi     You can't even formulate your     resolve to go for your goals? [16:14] Yuu     Hmph. [16:14] Chi     And you, Airi. [16:16] Chi     If you want to change yourself,     why don't you go to a temple or to India? [16:20] Air     That sounds good... [16:23] Chi     As for you, Yuzuha. [16:24] Chi     None of that made any sense.     Are you a monster? [16:27] Yuz     Merci! [16:28] Chi     That wasn't a compliment. [16:29] Yuu     Okay, then, why did you decide to     participate in the idol project? [16:34] Chi     My answer is very simple and brief. [16:38] Chi     Because this has been my dream     ever since I was a child! [16:41] Yuu     Being an idol? [16:42] Chi     Not being an idol! Being a voice actress! [16:44] Yuu     How is that a reason for     trying to be an idol? [16:47] Chi     Whatever! It's to achieve my dream! [16:50] Yuu     Is it, though? [16:51] Air     Oh, that answer would have worked? [16:53] Yuz     It's kinda vague. [16:55] Chi     You know... [16:56] Rio     Hey, you guys, you're too     divided from the get-go. [17:00] Yuz     Is that bad? [17:02] Rio     Not bad per se, but starting like this is... [17:06] Yuu     It's fine! [17:09] Yuu     It's true that we're not united right     now, but it's going to be okay. [17:15] Rio     Huh? [17:16] Yuu     Our reasons might be very different, [17:19] Yuu     but all of us are here     because we've decided that [17:22] ---     we want to participate in this project. [17:24] Yuu     Right? [17:27] Yuu     So we'll definitely do it! [17:30] Yuu     We have to do it! [17:37] Mas     That will do. [17:38] Rio     Huh? [17:39] Mas     All four of you have very different reasons     for being here, and yet, here you are. [17:43] Mas     Could that be a coincidence? [17:45] Air     It... might be destiny? [17:48] Mas     What do you think? [17:51] Air     I'd like it to be destiny. [17:54] Mas     If that's how you feel,     you should make it so. [17:58] Air     Me? [17:59] Mas     All four of you. [18:01] Mas     Destiny is something you guys will create. [18:05] Mas     If you want this, you'll surely look     back to this meeting as destiny. [18:10] Yuz     All of us... [18:12] Chi     ...being here... [18:15] Yuu     ...is destiny? [18:17] Mas     AiRBLUE, along with the four of you, [18:19] ---     will confirm our participation     in Project Vogel. [18:22] Mas     Today is truly the day of beginnings, [18:25] Mas     the first step toward your new life,     and a day worth celebrating. [18:29] Air     The first step... [18:30] Rio     The agency will support you, of course. [18:33] Rio     Let's unite our hearts and do our best. [18:35] Mas     From now on, you're a single team. [18:41] Yuu     We're... one team? [18:44] All     We are Chun4! [18:54] Mas     That's the way. [18:56] Rio     Looking good... [19:09] Hon     Did you see that? [19:11] Hon     They were playing a     Bloom Ball promo in that store! [19:14] Shi     I've seen it in seven places     so far on my commute. [19:17] Hon     You were keeping track? [19:18] Shi     Of course. [19:20] Mai     I can't believe we're     going to be in that anime! [19:23] Mai     Honestly, I feel like making an     announcement in front of that promo. [19:26] Mai     Like, "I'm going to be in this anime!" [19:29] Hon     You can't do that. [19:30] Shi     That's out. [19:31] Mai     I know that. But don't you     feel like doing that, too? [19:35] Shi     Yeah. [19:36] Hon     Honestly, I do, too. [19:38] Har     I'm happy for you guys. [19:42] Mai     Sorry about that, Haruna. [19:43] Har     Don't be. I'm truly happy     that you guys got parts. [19:49] Shi     You're so pure, you could     be from a fairy tale. [19:52] Har     Thank you. [19:54] Hon     I guess Masaki-san said that, too.
