[00:05] Fujimoto     Utatane-san, the next session      is your last, right? [00:09] Fujimoto     This won't be the same without you. [00:10] Hoshizora     You'll have to give it     your best next episode. [00:14] Hoshizora     Well, see you then. [00:15] Fujimoto     Good work today. [00:17] Yumiko     See you next time. [00:19] Yumiko(m)     The character I'm playing, Shirayuri Mei, [00:22] Yumiko(m)     challenges Sakuraba to single combat     in the next episode and meets a heroic end. [00:28] (Flashback) Sugishita     This will be a very important     episode for Phantom. [00:32] (Flashback) Sugishita     I have faith that you'll put     all your soul into your acting. [00:38] Yumiko(m)     I guess that meant my performance     up till now hasn't been enough. [00:44] Yumiko     M-Mori-san, is something the matter? [00:48] Mori     Utatane-san, have you ever played     a main character before? [00:53] Yumiko     Huh? [00:54] Yumiko     No, I haven't. [00:56] Mori     Then have you ever had an episode where     your character was the main focus? [01:02] Yumiko     Oh, like one of those feature episodes? [01:05] Yumiko     Um... Only once, in my debut show. [01:10] Mori     I see. [01:11] Mori     Shirayuri is going to be the focal     point of the next episode, right? [01:15] Yumiko     Right. [01:16] Mori     I think you already know, [01:18] Mori     but for this, Shirayuri is the main character. [01:21] Mori     You are the main character. [01:24] Mori     The focus isn't on Sakuraba, but Shirayuri. [01:28] Mori     Not Yugure Yuhi, not me, not Ono. [01:32] Mori     It's all you. [01:34] Mori     Some people have been     in this industry for decades. [01:36] Mori     Some are blessed with immense talent. [01:39] Mori     But next episode, you're the star. [01:41] Mori     Do you understand what that means? [01:44] Yumiko     Huh? [01:45] Mori     In the next episode, [01:46] Mori     your acting will have a drastic impact      on the show's quality. [01:51] Mori     If your craft isn't good enough, [01:53] Mori     then the entire show will suffer for it. [01:55] Mori     Being the main character means     shouldering that responsibility. [02:00] Mori     You must remember that. [02:03] Mori     I'm really looking forward     to your performance next week. [02:28] Sign     The Many Sides of     Voice Actor Radio [02:28] Sign     The Many Sides of     Voice Actor Radio [03:43] Sign     #11 Yuhi and Yasumi Post-Recording and [03:44] Sugishita     Mori-san can be a lot, huh? [03:46] Yumiko     Sugishita-san... [03:48] Sugishita     She sure put the pressure on you. [03:50] Sugishita     Are you all right? [03:51] Yumiko     Y-Yes. [03:53] Yumiko     I was a little caught off guard, though. [03:55] Sugishita     Listen, what she said is true. [04:00] Sugishita     I already mentioned this, [04:02] Sugishita     but the next episode truly is important. [04:04] Sugishita     Your performance won't just      determine its quality, [04:07] Sugishita     but the quality of Phantom as a whole. [04:11] Sugishita     That said, however, [04:12] Sugishita     we also don't want     you folding under pressure. [04:14] Sugishita     You don't get big roles like this every day, [04:16] Sugishita     so I do hope that you'll enjoy yourself. [04:19] Sugishita     I'm counting on you. [04:21] Yumiko     Yes, sir! [04:23] Chika     Now, our next letter is from     pen name "High Outside Corner." [04:27] Chika     "Hello to both of you.     This is my first time writing. [04:30] Chika     I'm a second-year in high     school just like you two. [04:34] Chika     I'm on the baseball team, [04:35] Chika     and since the third-years have retired, [04:37] Chika     I got chosen as a starter." [04:39] Yumiko     Hey, wow! Good for you. [04:42] Chika     "Unfortunately, I can't seem     to hack it in games. [04:45] Sign     Illusionary Mecha Soldier Phantom     Episode 17 [04:45] Chika     I work extra hard during practice, [04:48] Chika     but I still mess things up     for my teammates when it's game time." [04:53] Yumiko     Yeah... [04:54] Chika     "So here's my question for you two. [04:57] Chika     When you're having trouble with a job, [04:59] Chika     how do you manage to overcome it?" [05:03] Chika     Yasu? [05:04] Yumiko     Oh, sorry! [05:07] Yumiko     I was thinking about all that. [05:09] Yumiko     Messing things up for the people     around you feels terrible, right? [05:13] Yumiko     I know how excruciating that can be. [05:13] Sign     It's hidden by her hair,     but there's a scar     on the left side      of her face. [05:15] Yumiko     My acting isn't where it should be, personally. [05:19] Yumiko     I'm not satisfied with it myself. [05:22] Yumiko     I'm putting in the work, of course. [05:25] Yumiko     Which is why I just don't     know what more I can do. [05:29] Yumiko     I struggle and struggle [05:31] Yumiko     but can't seem to break through. [05:34] Yumiko     For the longest time now, [05:35] Yumiko     I've been trying to figure out what to do. [05:40] Yumiko     Oh, sorry. [05:41] Yumiko     I've been talking forever now. [05:43] Yumiko     Let's see. Where were we? [05:45] Yumiko     How do you overcome that...? Sorry. [05:49] Yumiko     To be honest, I have no clue either. [05:52] Yumiko     In fact, I'd love it if you could tell me. [05:56] Sign     One week later [05:57] Yumiko     Then at long last came my final episode     of Illusionary Mecha Soldier Phantom*. [06:02] Yumiko     Our first scene for the day was a retake. [06:06] Sugishita     Utatane-san, please put more emotion into it. [06:10] Sugishita     The tone of your voice is fine, [06:13] Sugishita     but I want you to layer      more feeling on top of it. [06:16] Yumiko     Yes, sir. [06:19] Yumiko(m)     You're fine. You're fine. [06:22] Yumiko(m)     You practiced so much. [06:32] Yumiko(m)     Huh? What is this...? [06:36] Yumiko(m)     The air feels heavy. [06:39] Yumiko(m)     Like it's hard to breathe. [06:41] Yumiko(m)     No, wait. [06:42] Yumiko(m)     You're fine. [06:44] Yumiko(m)     Calm down. [06:45] Yumiko(m)     Just follow Sugishita-san's direction [06:48] Yumiko(m)     and you'll be able*     to pull it off in the end... [06:52] Sugishita     I'm sorry, Utatane-san.     Please stand by for now. [07:05] Yumiko(m)     When did this start? [07:07] Yumiko(m)     I refused to see it. [07:09] Yumiko(m)     I intentionally averted my eyes. [07:13] Yumiko(m)     I pushed as hard as I could. [07:14] Yumiko(m)     I did everything I could. [07:16] Yumiko(m)     I gave it my all. [07:18] Yumiko(m)     But in a world where results     are all that matter, [07:22] Yumiko(m)     they'll just say, "So what?" [07:26] Sugishita     I'm sorry. [07:28] Sugishita     We'd like to have Utatane-san by herself next. [07:31] Yumiko(m)     Hitting the level the directors wanted... [07:34] Yumiko(m)     Breaking through that wall... [07:36] Yumiko(m)     Those were supposed to be my goals. [07:40] Yumiko(m)     But at some point,     I started fooling myself, thinking, [07:43] Yumiko(m)     "I'm sure it'll all turn out fine     if I just do my best." [07:51] Sugishita     Excuse me. [07:52] Sugishita     A few words. [07:54] Sugishita     First of all, Utatane-san,     we'd like you to stay longer. [07:58] Yumiko     Yes, sir. [07:59] Sugishita     And then, [08:00] Sugishita     we'd like you all to stay     longer if at all possible. [08:04] Kamishiro     We may not really have a choice     with the way the scheduling shakes out, [08:08] Kamishiro     but we'd like to avoid recording     Shirayuri's scenes separately. [08:10] Kamishiro     This is a critical episode, [08:13] Kamishiro     so we'd appreciate everyone's cooperation. [08:19] Fujimoto     What are you looking so     scared for, Utatane-san? [08:22] Fujimoto     I'll stick around. [08:24] Fujimoto     Director, I can stay longer. [08:27] Hoshizora     No problem here! [08:28] Hoshizora     I'll stay, too. [08:30] VoiceActor2     Well, it is what it is. [08:32] VoiceActor2     This is a difficult scene, after all. [08:34] VoiceActor1     Only for this session, okay? [08:37] VoiceActor1     I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do. [08:44] Yumiko     I'm very sorry. [08:46] Yumiko     Thank you, everyone. [08:50] Hoshizora     Oh, sorry. [08:51] Hoshizora     I'm out of time now. [08:53] Yumiko     Thank you so much. [08:59] Ono     Oh, that's a wrap for me, too. [09:03] Ono     Sorry, but I have to head out. [09:05] Yumiko     Thank you so much, Ono-san. [09:11] Ono     Look, Utatane. [09:13] Ono     You and I, we're both pros. [09:15] Ono     And pros can't just say, "I couldn't do it." [09:19] Yumiko     Right. [09:20] Ono     I've been in this business     for a pretty long time myself, [09:23] Ono     and I've seen what happens to people     who half-ass their work. [09:29] Ono     You follow me? [09:30] Ono     It's all related. [09:31] Ono     Be prepared. [09:33] Ono     This is an important time for you. [09:39] Sugishita     Yugure-san, do you still have time? [09:42] Chika     I don't have any particular plans,     so that's no issue. [09:46] Sugishita     I see. [09:47] Sugishita     I sincerely appreciate you staying behind. [09:56] Yumiko(m)     I'm such an idiot. [09:59] (Flashback) Chika     If I go on hiatus for a year and a half, [10:02] (Flashback) Chika     everyone will forget who I am. [10:05] (Flashback) Chika     Nobody would want me, and I'd     no longer be able to do voice acting. [10:12] Yumiko(m)     Watanabe was only feeling     a little insecure back then. [10:16] Yumiko(m)     What the hell was I thinking     ever considering us equals? [10:20] Yumiko(m)     I cause problems for everyone around me, [10:22] Yumiko(m)     floundering and delaying the post-recordings. [10:25] Yumiko(m)     Meanwhile, Watanabe stands tall     as the main character of the show. [10:30] Yumiko(m)     I had no idea the gap     between us was so wide. [10:40] Sugishita     I'm so sorry, you two. We're out of time. [10:44] Sugishita     Let's wrap up today's session. [10:47] Both     Yes, sir. [10:48] Sugishita     Utatane-san, we were able to find a slot, [10:51] Sugishita     so we can rerecord tomorrow. [10:54] Chika     I see. [10:56] Chika     Then I'll excuse myself. [10:59] Chika     Thank you. [11:05] Sugishita     I'm sorry that we keep pushing, [11:07] Sugishita     but we really don't want to give up on this. [11:13] Sugishita     The fate of the next episode is in your hands. [11:17] Sugishita     Shirayuri is the main focus, [11:19] Sugishita     and you're the one who breathes      life into her character. [11:22] Sugishita     I just can't bring myself to sign off      on what we have now. [11:27] Sugishita     I hope you can understand that. [11:30] Yumiko     Yes, sir... [11:33] Yumiko     What do I do? [11:37] Yumiko     Call Kagasaki-san? [11:40] Yumiko     But... [11:42] Yumiko(m)     How can I fix my acting if I don't     even know what's wrong with it? [11:50] Yumiko(m)     Watanabe and the others     had some retakes, too, [11:54] Yumiko(m)     but they were so quick to adjust [11:56] Yumiko(m)     and get their performance     where the directors wanted it. [12:00] Yumiko(m)     Maybe I've just reached my limit. [12:04] (Flashback) Kagasaki     The landscape changes in your fourth year. [12:07] (Flashback) Kagasaki     If you can't build a base     flaunting your youth, [12:09] (Flashback) Kagasaki     the pickings get slim. [12:12] Yumiko(m)     Without the perk of being new blood,     I can't even imagine [12:16] Yumiko(m)     that I could compete     with these people for roles. [12:21] Sign     Illusionary Mecha Soldier     Phantom [12:23] Yumiko(m)     I'll probably never get     another chance like this... [12:31] Yumiko     Maybe it's back to failing auditions... [12:35] Yumiko     and I'll quietly fade away. [12:40] Yumiko(m)     Still, I guess I did pretty good     for someone with no real talent. [12:46] Yumiko(m)     It's only been three years, [12:48] Yumiko(m)     but I've gotten to do so much     as a voice actress. [12:55] Sign     From no experience     to your dream job!

[13:09] (Flashback) Yumiko     It's not impossible, [13:11] (Flashback) Yumiko     but with stuff like this, [13:12] (Flashback) Yumiko     it's best to start as early as you can. [13:16] (Flashback) Yumiko     I want to become a voice actress     and play my favorite Pritia! [13:21] (Flashback) Grandma     You always did love Pritia, didn't you? [13:24] (Flashback) Grandma     I remember when we'd go to work,      you'd be watching it, [13:28] (Flashback) Grandma     completely entranced and glued to the TV. [13:30] (Flashback) Yumiko     Pritia gave me so much life back then! [13:34] (Flashback) Yumiko     Then I found out about voice acting. [13:37] (Flashback) Yumiko     Voice actresses are really amazing! [13:39] (Flashback) Yumiko     Mori Kaori-san and Ono Mari-san from Pritia     play totally different roles in other anime!

[14:02] (Flashback) Grandma     I'm rooting for you! [14:04] (Flashback) Yumiko     Grandma! [14:06] (Flashback) Grandma     I'll pay for it, too.

[14:47] Yumiko(m)     The worst I could do was fail. [14:49] Yumiko(m)     I went into the audition ready*     to be crushed to pieces, [14:52] Yumiko(m)     but I managed to pass.

[15:04] Yumiko(m)     While I was still in training, [15:06] Yumiko(m)     I was preliminarily signed on to     their voice acting agency as well. [15:10] Yumiko(m)     Getting a hotshot manager like     Kagasaki-san made me feel so lucky. [15:17] Yumiko(m)     Then I landed a role in Travel Winters*, [15:20] Yumiko(m)     an audition Kagasaki-san got*     me through her connections.

[19:54] Yumiko     I need your... [19:57] Yumiko     I need Yugure Yuhi's help. [20:02] Yumiko     What am I lacking? [20:04] Yumiko     Why can't I get it right? [20:06] Yumiko     I'm sure you have plenty      of thoughts on my acting. [20:14] Yumiko     As a fellow voice actress     and my colleague on this project, [20:18] Yumiko     I'd like to hear your opinion. [20:21] Yumiko     I really need your help. [20:25] Chika     I could never do that. [20:30] Chika     Were our positions reversed, [20:33] Chika     I would never ask what you thought, [20:35] Chika     even if my life depended on it... [20:38] Chika     I just couldn't. [20:40] Yumiko     I see... [20:43] Yumiko     I'm sorry. Just forget... [20:46] Chika     It's so frustrating... [20:48] Chika     I couldn't do that! [20:51] Chika     Even for the sake of my acting... [20:54] Chika     I could never be as earnest as you. [20:57] Chika     I... [20:59] Chika     I've never compromised      when it came to my acting! [21:03] Chika     But you... [21:05] Chika     You can do what I know I never could! [21:08] Yumiko     Isn't that just because you never need help? [21:14] Chika     It's not about that. [21:17] Chika     If my back were to the wall, [21:19] Chika     it's a matter of if I'd seriously     be able to go as far as you have. [21:23] Chika     I really hate that about you. [21:31] Chika     To honor your courage, [21:33] Chika     I'll be honest and say this just this once. [21:36] Chika     Since we started our radio show, [21:38] Chika     Utatane Yasumi has constantly been on my mind. [21:41] Chika     I mean, I was determined to best you. [21:44] Chika     I was always listening to and watching you. [21:49] Chika     So I'll tell you right now. [21:50] Chika     I know your acting better than the     directors and the other voice actors. [21:55] Chika     Better than anyone else. [22:00] Chika     I'll help you, Utatane Yasumi.
