[00:00] Saori
Fans of Shikimori-san
all around the country!
[00:03] Saori
Hi, there! How are you doing?
[00:06] Saori
For today's Shikimori-san's Not Just a Cutie,
[00:09] Saori
we'll be looking back on episode 1
[00:12] Saori
and providing audio commentary
as we watch it with all of you!
[00:17] Saori
Yay!
[00:19] Saori
Well, shall we introduce ourselves?
[00:21] Saori
I'm Ohnishi Saori, the voice
of Shikimori-san. And...
[00:25] Umeda
Yes! I'm Umeda Shuuichirou,
the voice of Izumi-kun!
[00:28] Saori
And...
[00:28] Rina
I'm Hidaka Rina, the voice of Hachimitsu.
Thank you for joining us!
[00:31] Saori/Umeda
Thank you!
[00:33] Saori
So, the three of us are
providing commentary today.
[00:36] Rina
Uh, are we sure I should be here?
[00:38] Rina
Like, why...
[00:39] Saori
I mean, I'm glad you're here, but...
I wondered that, too.
[00:43] Rina
Wait, no!
[00:44] Rina
It makes sense that I'd think that,
[00:46] Rina
but if you think that, that means it's true!
[00:48] Saori
I was like, "Oh, Hachimitsu's here?"
[00:51] Rina
My schedule was open, I guess.
[00:54] Saori
I see how it is!
[00:55] Rina
I see how it is!
[00:56] Umeda
I see. Yeah.
[00:58] Saori
What about you, Umeda-kun?
How do you feel about commentary?
[01:01] Umeda
Well...
[01:02] Saori
Is this your first one?
[01:03] Umeda
This is my first audio commentary.
[01:05] Umeda
It's genuinely my first time doing this.
[01:05] Rina
Your first? Wow!
[01:08] Saori
Wow!
[01:10] Saori
And how crazy is it that your
first time is on broadcast TV?
[01:13] Rina
Right?
[01:14] Umeda
Yeah, I have no idea what to talk about...
[01:16] Saori
Oh, just say whatever comes to mind.
[01:19] Umeda
Whatever?
[01:20] Saori
Yep.
[01:21] Rina
And it's for episode 1, which we can
assume everyone's watched already.
[01:21] Umeda
Okay...
[01:25] Saori
Right, right.
[01:28] Umeda
Okay.
[01:28] Rina
So the staff said we can talk about anything.
Stories from the recording studio, even.
[01:33] Umeda
That's right.
[01:33] Rina
And they said it with a smile.
[01:35] Umeda
That's true. Anything...
[01:37] Saori
Anything you want to say to start with?
[01:39] Umeda
"To start with"?!
You're not giving me a choice!
[01:43] Umeda
Huh?! Uh... Are you all enjoying
watching Shikimori-san?
[01:48] Saori
Ah, you're taking the
"ask the viewers questions" route.
[01:51] Rina
Impressive technique.
[01:52] Umeda
Huh?! It is?!
[01:54] Saori
But since this commentary is airing
during the show's regular time slot,
[02:01] Saori
people might be tweeting their thoughts
about it to #shikimorisan right now.
[02:09] Rina
They might be live-tweeting it.
[02:12] Rina
But it's not often people get the chance to
live-tweet about audio commentary, right?
[02:16] Saori
Not at all!
[02:17] Umeda
Oh, that's true.
[02:18] Rina
So I'll keep an eye on
all the hashtags today.
[02:22] Saori
That's scary!
[02:22] Rina
We're in them.
[02:24] Saori
Wait, I'm gonna interact with them.
[02:28] Umeda
Okay.
[02:28] Saori
Everyone! Who's your favorite
character in Shikimori-san?
[02:35] Saori
They're typing their answers now.
[02:37] Umeda
With the hashtag...
[02:38] Rina
Hachimitsu! Thank you!
[02:39] Saori
Oh! Shikimori-san! Thank you!
[02:41] Umeda
Izumi-kun? Thank you!
[02:45] Saori
But you know, Inu and Neko
are great characters, too.
[02:49] Umeda
They are.
[02:50] Rina
And you just grow to love
them more and more.
[02:52] Saori
Exactly.
[02:54] Rina
Of course, in episode 1,
the two main characters
[02:58] Rina
get their chance to show off
all their great qualities,
[03:02] Rina
but after this, the other characters
get some great moments.
[03:04] Saori
Yeah!
[03:07] Saori
So after seeing all the episodes thus far,
[03:10] Saori
people whose first thoughts were how
cute and interesting Shikimori-san was
[03:15] Saori
might be saying, "Hachimitsu's my favorite."
Or, "I like Neko."
[03:20] Rina
And Inu's actually pretty cute, isn't he?
[03:20] Umeda
That's true.
[03:23] Umeda
Yeah, he is!
[03:24] Saori
He really is!
[03:26] Rina
There are lots of rivals.
[03:28] Saori
Exactly.
[03:29] Umeda
That's true.
[03:30] Saori
Even to Shikimori-san, Inu is kind of...
[03:33] Umeda
Oh, right.
[03:34] Saori
It's like she's worried Inu
might take Izumi-kun from her.
[03:39] Saori
He's a great character, though.
[03:41] Rina
When she gets jealous, that pouty face
she does... Like just now! I love that!
[03:45] Saori
Oh, Shikimori-san? I know, it's so cute!
[03:46] Rina
Yeah!
[03:47] Umeda
It's so cute!
[03:48] Rina
I just love that!
[03:49] Umeda
It really is.
[03:50] Rina
And watching the broadcast, I realized
that the color schemes are beautiful.
[03:55] Saori
They're gorgeous!
[03:55] Umeda
They are nice.
[03:58] Rina
It's amazing.
[03:59] Umeda
Their eye colors are really pretty.
[04:02] Saori
Look. What is this? Check out this scene.
[04:06] Saori
And you know, the art in the manga is
really... I guess I'd call it unique.
[04:14] Saori
I was wondering how that would
translate to an animated format,
[04:17] Saori
but they've worked really hard
to create such a gorgeous—
[04:23] Rina
Oh, right there! That look!
[04:24] Saori
It's just... It's just so beautiful!
[04:29] Saori
But, you know, that line...
[04:32] Saori
There were three versions of it.
[04:34] Saori
There's the one I did in the show,
which we just saw,
[04:38] Saori
the one I did for the PV, and...
[04:40] Rina
Mainichi Calendar?
[04:41] Saori
Yeah! I did it for Mainichi
Shikimori-san, too.
[04:45] Saori
And they're all different.
Even I can tell when I hear them.
[04:48] Rina
Well, the circumstances and
emotions are different.
[04:50] Saori
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[04:52] Saori
So I'd like everyone to listen
and compare them... and...
[04:56] Rina
And here we are! It's the opening!
[04:59] Rina
"Honey Jet Coaster" by nasuo☆.
[05:02] Saori
It's awesome.
[05:04] Umeda
The lighting is so nice.
[05:06] Saori
I know!
[05:07] Rina
It's so good.
[05:08] Umeda
Yeah.
[05:10] Rina
I love it. Also, on the
official Twitter account,
[05:13] Rina
you can see both the storyboard version
and the final version of the opening.
[05:18] Saori/Umeda
I saw that!
[05:19] Rina
Did you?
[05:19] Saori
I did!
[05:20] Umeda
I saw it.
[05:21] Rina
If anyone hasn't, you should see it!
[05:24] Rina
It's so good, right?
[05:25] Umeda
It is.
[05:26] Saori
So good!
[05:26] Rina
And the moody tone here...
[05:28] Saori
Yes! This!
[05:30] Saori
The number of animation frames here!
[05:33] Rina
For real, is this okay?
It's way too amazing.
[05:35] Rina
We all watched this together in the studio.
[05:36] Saori
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[05:36] Umeda
We did.
[05:38] Saori
After the recording, we asked
them to show us the opening.
[05:41] Umeda
Yeah, Ohnishi-san was like, "Show us!"
[05:43] Umeda
Then I said, "I'd like to see it, too."
[05:46] Saori
That's right.
[05:47] Saori
So anyway, we'll keep up the commentary...
[05:51] Umeda
Yes!
[05:52] Saori
So please don't change the channel!
[05:54] Rine
Yes, please.
[05:54] Saori
And I hope you enjoy it.
[05:55] Umeda
Please stay tuned.
[06:01] Saori
You know... Did we talk too much?
[06:04] Rina
Yeah, we were reflecting
on that during the break.
[06:06] Saori
We were.
[06:08] Umeda
No, no, I don't think we did.
[06:09] Saori
Umeda-kun talked a lot, too!
[06:12] Rina
We just need to keep that up until the end.
[06:15] Saori
Yeah.
[06:16] Rina
That's our goal.
[06:17] Saori
Okay!
[06:17] Umeda
Well, I'll do my best to contribute some
material while you two do lots of talking.
[06:24] Saori
He's trying so hard!
[06:25] Rina
Have you experienced any bad luck lately?
[06:27] Umeda
Bad luck?
[06:29] Rina
Any sad stories?
[06:29] Umeda
My latest misfortune was when I tried
to catch the last train of the day.
[06:34] Umeda
There was an attendant right in front of me.
[06:37] Umeda
And since it was the last train,
I thought he would wait a few seconds,
[06:42] Umeda
but he instantly closed the doors
and then he glanced over at me.
[06:49] Rina
You know, you could literally be Izumi-kun.
[06:53] Saori
Yes! For real!
[06:55] Umeda
Wow... Hearing that from Rina-san
really makes me happy.
[07:00] Rina
It does?!
[07:01] Rina
I mean, I'm not in the recording
studio with him that often
[07:05] Rina
since we don't have that
many scenes together.
[07:07] Saori
That's true.
[07:08] Rina
So we've only spoken a few times,
[07:10] Rina
but I've seen him have so
many unfortunate moments!
[07:13] Saori
Wait, that many?
[07:15] Rina
Well, I mean, at events and stuff,
like Anime Japan...
[07:18] Rina
Didn't a bunch of bad stuff happen
before your appearance?
[07:21] Saori
Oh, like how he dropped a
candy and it rolled away?
[07:22] Umeda
Right... My throat drop.
[07:23] Rina
Yeah, that, and like...
[07:25] Rina
When he walked out still
wearing his staff pass.
[07:29] Umeda
Yeah...
[07:30] Saori
That's right!
[07:31] Umeda
Apparently, Nobuhiko-san thought it
was weird, but didn't say anything.
[07:36] Rina
Figures.
[07:37] Saori
That figures.
[07:38] Umeda
I had no idea.
[07:39] Saori
I mean, Umeda-kun as Izumi-kun is...
[07:43] Umeda
Yeah.
[07:43] Saori
It's like you're his spitting image.
You're a perfect match.
[07:50] Umeda
Aw, thank you.
[07:51] Saori
It's amazing.
[07:52] Umeda
But, you know, I don't think I had this
many sudden attacks of bad luck before...
[07:58] Saori
Oh, so it's the other way around?
You're living your role?
[08:01] Umeda
I feel like it's become more
common since I met Izumi-kun.
[08:06] Saori
Is that okay?!
[08:08] Umeda
Well, I figure it might be a good
thing to feel closer to him.
[08:12] Saori
But, you know, since meeting Shikimori-san,
[08:17] Saori
Izumi-kun can kind of brush off
the unlucky things that happen to him.
[08:21] Saori
But if you don't have a Shikimori-san,
it's just... like, are you okay?
[08:26] Umeda
I think this show itself
is my Shikimori-san.
[08:29] Saori
The show itself?
[08:30] Umeda
I think, since I met Izumi-kun,
[08:33] Umeda
watching him makes me feel like
I should just do my best, too.
[08:38] Saori
That's so optimistic.
[08:39] Rina
Wow...
[08:40] Rina
But in that sense, look at
people like Okamoto-san.
[08:43] Rina
All the older male voice actors around him
[08:45] Rina
seem to see him as the type
they want to help and protect.
[08:52] Saori
Yeah, that's true!
[08:54] Umeda
Thank you... No, honestly, I...
[08:57] Umeda
I asked Ohnishi-san for
advice not long ago, too.
[09:01] Rina
What'd she say?
[09:02] Umeda
I was like, "Here's what I was thinking
about this... Is that okay?"
[09:09] Umeda
And she said, "It's fine!"
[09:11] Rina
Wait, were you actually listening to him?
[09:14] Saori
Rude! That's so rude!
[09:14] Rude
Are you sure you picked the
right person to talk to?
[09:18] Saori
It's true, though.
[09:19] Saori
We weren't talking about casual things we
could repeat in a TV broadcast commentary.
[09:26] Rina
Oh, so it was pretty serious.
[09:27] Umeda
It was serious.
[09:27] Saori
He really had serious concerns.
[09:29] Saori
And younger voice actors never
come to me for advice, so...
[09:38] Saori
I thought it through the best I could
and answered him in my own way,
[09:42] Saori
but I don't know if it
really stuck with him.
[09:45] Umeda
Oh, no, it stuck really well.
[09:48] Saori
It stuck?! Really?!
[09:51] Umeda
Well, even at our recordings,
when you're standing next to me
[09:57] Umeda
or you're watching from behind
me as I'm recording...
[10:01] Umeda
There are a lot of moments when
I think you're really cool.
[10:04] Rina
Yeah, she is really cool.
[10:04] Umeda
Right? She's always cool!
[10:07] Saori
Come on, cut it out!
[10:09] Rina
She's swaying!
[10:11] Saori
Cut it out! I can't handle that kind of thing!
[10:14] Rina
But since I know the real,
everyday Ohnishi so well,
[10:18] Rina
the Ohnishi of Shikimori-san
just fascinates me!
[10:23] Rina
Like, how can they be so different?
[10:25] Saori
Stop! The fans say that about me, too!
[10:27] Rina
They do?
[10:28] Saori
Yes! They've been saying stuff
like, "Wait, this is Ohnishi?"
[10:32] Rina
Seriously, though, Shikimori-san is cute,
but she's more than just that.
[10:36] Rina
So it's hard to find that balance, right?
[10:39] Rina
I think it blends Ohnishi's playfulness
and her dauntlessness really well.
[10:45] Saori
Really? I'm so glad to hear that.
[10:48] Saori
For episode 1, Hachimitsu recorded
separately from us, right?
[10:52] Saori
So when we finished and went outside,
Rina-chan was there.
[10:55] Saori
I think you were listening from outside.
[10:57] Rina
I was.
[10:58] Saori
She said, "Ohnishi, Shikimori-san
sounded so good."
[11:01] Saori
"Your voice sounded beautiful!"
[11:05] Saori
Like, wait, that's not the usual Ohnishi...
[11:08] Rina
I actually got emotional!
Like, "She really is a voice actress!"
[11:12] Saori
I am a voice actress! That's my job!
[11:16] Rina
That's just how different it was.
[11:17] Saori
Yeah, it really was.
[11:18] Rina
I did read the manga, too,
[11:21] Rina
and I felt like I could hear
the characters talking in it.
[11:24] Rina
All the voices in the anime
are just like I imagined.
[11:27] Rina
It's really great.
[11:28] Saori
Everyone's just perfectly matched!
[11:30] Rina
Exactly.
[11:31] Umeda
They really are.
[11:33] Umeda
The first time I heard all
of the characters' voices,
[11:37] Umeda
I thought the same thing.
"Wow, they're talking!"
[11:42] Saori
There was a drama CD or something
released first, right?
[11:43] Rina
Right, that came first.
[11:45] Umeda
The bean-throwing episode, right?
[11:47] Saori/Rina
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[11:49] Saori
Yeah, that's right.
[11:51] Rina
That was the first time
I heard everyone's voices,
[11:53] Rina
and it kinda made me nostalgic for that.
[11:56] Saori
Yeah.
[11:57] Umeda
For sure.
[11:58] Saori
In part A, these two are in the spotlight,
[12:02] Saori
and we only see Hachimitsu,
Neko, and Inu briefly.
[12:06] Saori
But there's more of them in part B.
[12:07] Rina
Yeah, everyone's there.
[12:08] Umeda
Yeah.
[12:09] Saori
I wonder what everyone will think
about how the voices match the roles.
[12:15] Rina
I think everyone can feel like
they're enjoying youth along with them,
[12:20] Rina
so please look forward to the second half.
[12:22] Saori
Yes, keep an eye out for that.
[12:24] Umeda
Yes.
[12:26] Saori
I guess there's still more.
[12:27] Saori
Time for a commercial break!
[12:30] Saori
Part B's started.
[12:32] Umeda
Yay!
[12:32] Rina
It's started.
[12:34] Rina
So, do you two remember your auditions?
[12:37] Saori
I do!
[12:38] Umeda
I remember.
[12:39] Rina
You do?
[12:40] Umeda
Yeah.
[12:40] Rina
We auditioned in the same studio
that we use now for recording,
[12:44] Rina
and that we're using for
this commentary, right?
[12:46] Saori
We did.
[12:46] Umeda
That's right.
[12:47] Rina
Were you guys nervous?
[12:50] Umeda
I was super nervous...
[12:53] Umeda
But it was a really weird
feeling at the time.
[12:57] Umeda
Usually at studio auditions,
my whole body freezes up,
[13:03] Umeda
but when auditioning
for Izumi-kun, it was like...
[13:07] Umeda
I wanted them to hear my portrayal of him.
[13:11] Umeda
It felt like I was just leaving
it in the hands of fate.
[13:15] Umeda
It was strange...
[13:17] Umeda
I mean, I was really nervous,
[13:19] Umeda
but there was a sense of calm
I'd never felt before.
[13:25] Rina
I think there's been something like
that ever since the audition.
[13:28] Saori
Maybe Izumi-kun was already within you?
[13:32] Rina
So you could slip right into the role.
[13:34] Umeda
That might be why...
[13:35] Umeda
Of course, I don't remember all
of it since I was so nervous,
[13:40] Umeda
but when it was over,
I wasn't thinking, "Yes! That was perfect!"
[13:45] Umeda
It was more like,
"Okay, I did what I needed to do."
[13:48] Saori
Spoken like a master!
[13:49] Rina
Right?! And he got the role because of that!
[13:52] Saori
That's awesome!
[13:53] Umeda
But I was talking to some
more experienced voice actors,
[13:56] Umeda
and they were saying only one
person could get the role.
[13:58] Saori
Right.
[13:59] Umeda
I didn't know what to expect.
[14:00] Rina
Yeah.
[14:04] Umeda
My memory of the script...
[14:06] Umeda
Uh, is it okay to talk about the script?
[14:10] Rina
Yeah, I think so.
[14:11] Umeda
We did it like we were reading
a scene from the manga, right?
[14:14] Saori
For the audition, yeah.
[14:16] Umeda
So I felt like I was naturally able to
express the Izumi-kun within me.
[14:23] Umeda
Yeah.
[14:24] Saori
I think, in particular...
[14:26] Saori
We all did our auditions in the studio,
[14:29] Saori
but the Izumi-kun and Shikimori-san
auditions were a two-way conversation.
[14:33] Umeda
That's right.
[14:34] Saori
It was the two characters together.
[14:35] Rina
That's really unusual, right?
[14:37] Saori
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[14:38] Saori
So of course, as I was recording later,
[14:41] Saori
there were several times when I thought,
"Oh, this is from the audition!"
[14:47] Saori
And I never thought I'd
actually get the part, so...
[14:52] Umeda
Yeah, you did say that.
[14:53] Saori
Yeah. Of course, I knew this was
an incredibly popular title,
[14:58] Saori
so I read the manga to
prepare for the audition,
[15:01] Saori
and that really made me want the part.
[15:03] Saori
But I thought... "Can I really play an
amazing character like Shikimori-san?"
[15:11] Rina
Oh, really?
[15:11] Saori
Yeah. And at auditions, you really
don't get any feedback, right?
[15:15] Rina
None.
[15:16] Saori
Right?
[15:16] Umeda
Yeah, nothing.
[15:17] Saori
I've never had an audition where
I got immediate feedback!
[15:20] Rina
Sometimes you're just like,
"Hey, that went well? Oh... nope."
[15:22] Saori
Right, right!
[15:23] Rina
You're not allowed to feel
like you've gotten feedback!
[15:25] Saori
Right! You're like, "I think I got this,"
and then you fail.
[15:29] Saori
Yeah. So I was really happy
when I got the role.
[15:34] Rina
But the fact that you two
did your audition as a duo
[15:37] Rina
shows just how important
conversations are in this title.
[15:42] Rina
Even if we all can't record
our lines together,
[15:45] Rina
we still get to connect.
That goes for the two leads, of course,
[15:50] Rina
but the sessions are set up so
featured characters record together.
[15:56] Saori
Right.
[15:57] Saori
I wish we could all record together, though!
[16:00] Umeda
I know!
[16:01] Saori
That would definitely be a blast.
[16:04] Rina
What was episode 1 like? I wasn't there.
[16:07] Saori
Oh, that's right. Sorry.
[16:08] Rina
What was it like?
[16:09] Umeda
Episode 1...
[16:10] Saori
It was really friendly. I mean, like you
see here, we went bowling together...
[16:16] Rina
Yeah, I could hear you all laughing
from outside the studio.
[16:19] Rina
I thought it must've been really fun.
[16:22] Rina
Also, you do Hachimitsu's voice
during the tests sometimes, right?
[16:28] Saori
Yeah, I do.
[16:30] Saori
We all sort of cover for the
people who aren't there
[16:35] Saori
and build the atmosphere
together when we do the tests.
[16:38] Saori
So it's just like, "I guess this is
how Rina-chan would do Hachimitsu..."
[16:42] Rina
You imagine it?
[16:43] Saori
Yeah... so...
[16:45] Rina
How is... Wait, I'll ask Umeda-san.
[16:47] Umeda
Okay.
[16:47] Rina
What do you think of Ohnishi's version
of Hachimitsu? Does it sound like me?
[16:52] Umeda
From episode 1?
[16:54] Rina
Yeah, or any episode after that.
[16:56] Umeda
I was so nervous on episode 1
that I don't remember anything.
[17:00] Saori
You couldn't think about
anything but the recording!
[17:02] Umeda
I don't remember a thing!
[17:04] Umeda
But her usual imitations of you
are done with a lot of love.
[17:08] Saori
Yeah!
[17:09] Rina
Wow, really?
[17:11] Saori
I knew you'd understand, Umeda-kun!
[17:13] Umeda
She does Hachimitsu in a way that
shows how close you two are.
[17:17] Saori
Ah, right.
[17:18] Rina
Shikimori...
[17:19] Saori
That's just a frail old lady!
She's about to fall over!
[17:23] Rina
Shikimori! Get a strike!
[17:26] Rina
You can do it!
[17:27] Saori
That's not right. You know that's wrong.
[17:30] Saori
You're in no place to talk about me, though.
[17:32] Rina
Why not?
[17:32] Saori
You were impersonating all of us in
Hachimitsu-san's voice in the commercial!
[17:37] Umeda
She was.
[17:37] Rina
Actually, there's one thing
I want to say about that.
[17:40] Rina
When I got the script for it...
[17:42] Rina
I was just like, "Wait, which way
should I be going with this?"
[17:45] Saori
Well, this is our only chance to talk
about what happened with that commercial!
[17:48] Umeda
True.
[17:49] Rina
I mean, in the show,
Hachimitsu is usually kind of low-energy,
[17:54] Rina
but she's really funny, right?
[17:57] Rina
Which is why, for commercials
and collaborations and such,
[18:01] Rina
I have a little fun with
the narration and stuff.
[18:05] Rina
But if I get too playful,
it's out of character.
[18:08] Rina
Since there's no visual.
[18:11] Rina
But since I have this funny role,
I want to play around with it,
[18:16] Rina
and I've gone back and forth
with a lot of the staff.
[18:18] Rina
But what really saved it is how hard
Ohnishi laughed when I did it.
[18:23] Rina
She was giggling more than anyone!
[18:26] Saori
I should've kept a straight face...
[18:28] Rina
She kept saying,
"That was great! That's so funny!"
[18:31] Rina
I was really happy.
[18:32] Saori
Well, in the commercial
that's actually airing,
[18:36] Saori
it's the version that's basically all
at Hachimitsu's usual energy level.
[18:42] Umeda
Right.
[18:42] Saori
But there was also a fabled version
where she imitated everyone!
[18:46] Umeda
Right, there was! The fabled version!
[18:47] Rina
Oh, yeah!
[18:48] Saori
Can't that be released as a
bonus feature or something?
[18:51] Saori/Umeda
It'd be such a waste not to!
[18:53] Rina
It's true I did a take like that.
[18:55] Saori
You sure did.
[18:57] Rina
Having Hachimitsu do everyone
was really funny, though.
[18:59] Saori
It was super funny!
It didn't make any sense at all.
[19:00] Umeda
That was hilarious.
[19:04] Rina
It was just Hachimitsu being Hachimitsu.
[19:07] Umeda
Hachimitsu is one of those characters
that gives this show color.
[19:13] Rina
She is.
[19:13] Umeda
She's indispensable. All of them are, but...
[19:16] Saori
Yeah.
[19:18] Rina
She's the most unrestricted, in a way.
She has this flexibility.
[19:21] Rina
She even changes shape.
[19:23] Umeda
Changes shape?!
[19:24] Saori
She's not human, then!
[19:25] Umeda
True...
[19:27] Saori
She gets all melty, like a slime.
[19:30] Rina
She does.
[19:31] Rina
But really, the recording studio is
seriously just like what you see in the show.
[19:37] Saori
It is!
[19:39] Rina
It's so much fun.
[19:40] Umeda
It really is.
[19:40] Saori
Yeah.
[19:42] Umeda
It's a lot of fun.
[19:44] Rina
When we did episode 1,
remember when Umeda-san...
[19:46] Umeda
Yes?
[19:47] Rina
...brought bite-sized dorayaki for everyone?
[19:50] Saori
Oh, yeah! I got one of those!
[19:51] Umeda
Yeah, I did do that.
[19:52] Rina
It left such an impression when
you said, "They're really good!"
[19:55] Umeda
I'm so glad you remember that.
[19:57] Rina
It made me see what a nice person you are.
[19:59] Saori
People who bring snacks for everyone
right from episode 1 are amazing, huh?
[20:04] Umeda
Really?
[20:04] Rina
Yes!
[20:05] Saori
I mean... sorry to say it, but I've never
really brought snacks to a recording.
[20:10] Rina
Yeah, you always just eat them.
[20:11] Saori
Hey!
[20:12] Umeda
Well, there was another show where
a guy my age brought in snacks,
[20:18] Umeda
and it got me thinking that bringing
snacks to the workplace is really nice,
[20:23] Umeda
so I decided to do it for episode 1.
[20:25] Umeda
I had never met anyone there before,
[20:28] Umeda
so I thought if we could all eat together,
[20:30] Umeda
it would give us something
in common to talk about...
[20:35] Umeda
That's why I brought snacks.
[20:37] Saori
But you were so nervous,
you don't remember anything.
[20:41] Umeda
Yeah. I was so nervous.
[20:43] Saori
You were, huh?
[20:44] Umeda
Yeah. Really nervous.
[20:48] Rina
But that sort of anxious panic
is also perfect for Izumi-kun.
[20:53] Umeda
Thank you.
[20:55] Umeda
I'm honestly just trying my
hardest to play his part.
[20:57] Saori
You're always Izumi-kun at max strength.
[20:59] Umeda
He really...
[21:01] Rina
Yeah.
[21:03] Rina
But you know, Ohnishi,
it's like that with you, too.
[21:09] Rina
Instead of your usual chatty self,
[21:10] Rina
I love seeing you as an actress at recordings.
[21:12] Saori
Oh, stop!
[21:13] Rina
And sometimes as a mentor.
[21:16] Rina
It's not just when you're acting.
[21:19] Rina
That's all new.
[21:20] Saori
But that's why being in a studio
with people you're friends with...
[21:24] Saori
kinda sucks, y'know?
[21:25] Rina
Aw, why?
[21:27] Umeda
To me, everyone there is a mentor to me.
[21:31] Umeda
I think you're all very admirable.
[21:36] Umeda
It's really cool that there might be something
only Hidaka-san can see in you there.
[21:44] Rina
That's like how Matsuoka-chan,
who plays Neko, is exactly like her character.
[21:48] Umeda
Exactly like her!
[21:48] Rina
It's just... amazing, you know?
[21:51] Umeda
Really amazing!
[21:51] Saori
It is!
[21:52] Rina
I was so impressed when I first met her.
[21:53] Rina
And Okamoto-san, too...
[21:56] Rina
He has a really serious side,
like an older brother.
[22:00] Umeda
He does.
[22:00] Rina
That kind of thing is really...
[22:02] Saori
He did give you advice,
didn't he, Umeda-kun?
[22:04] Umeda
He did.
[22:05] Umeda
I always talk to him after
recording sessions and stuff.
[22:11] Umeda
Once, after a recording,
he said, "Wanna go eat?"
[22:14] Saori
You went out to eat?
[22:14] Umeda
And he took me out to get a quick bite.
[22:18] Umeda
So he really is like an older brother,
the way he gives me advice and such.
[22:22] Saori
Yeah, what left a huge impression on me
[22:25] Saori
was when Matsuoka-chan was talking
to someone in the hallway,
[22:29] Saori
and a staff passing by them said,
"Wow, even on your own time, you're still Neko."
[22:35] Rina
She's so close, everyone can see it!
[22:36] Saori
She's really just like her!
[22:38] Rina
She is!
[22:40] Saori
It's so amazing.
[22:42] Rina
So, yeah, we're all having a
great time recording the show,
[22:45] Rina
and there are lots more great
scenes and stories yet to come.
[22:48] Saori
Yes, there are!
[22:50] Saori
Look there! See Kamiya-san in the top right?
[22:52] Rina
Oh, yeah!
[22:53] Saori
We haven't seen Kamiya-san's
story yet, right?
[22:56] Rina
Right! And you really like her, don't you?
[22:58] Saori
I love her!
[22:58] Umeda
You do love her.
[23:00] Rina
So we have those scenes in store, too.
[23:01] Saori
That's coming up.
[23:05] Saori
Exactly.
[23:06] Saori
And this ending is really cute, too.
[23:08] Rina/Umeda
It is cute!
[23:09] Saori
It's kinda like a rhythm game.
[23:11] Rina
Yeah!
[23:11] Saori
Isn't it great?
[23:13] Umeda
Oh... And in the end...
[23:16] Saori
Nice.
[23:17] Saori
Anyway, look forward to the
next episode of Shikimori-san!
[23:21] Saori/Umeda/Rina
Bye-bye!
