[00:03] Kagasaki     The idol actress Utatane Yasumi      died yesterday. [00:07] Kagasaki     Do you have any idea how much money and     energy the agency and I have sunk into you? [00:12] Kagasaki     And all of that went poof yesterday. [00:15] Yumiko     I know. [00:16] Yumiko     I'm so sorry! [00:17] Kagasaki     We're going to Blue Crown to apologize. [00:20] Kagasaki     I got us an appointment,     so we're going right now. SIGN    The Many Sides of     Voice Actor Radio SIGN    The Many Sides of     Voice Actor Radio SIGN    #05 Yuhi and Yasumi Will Definitely Keep Going? [01:59] Kashima     Kagasaki-san. It's nice to see you. [02:02] Kagasaki     I'm sorry it's been so long,      President Kashima. [02:05] Yumiko     President?! [02:07] Kashima     It's a pleasure to meet you. [02:08] Kashima     I'm Kashima, the president of Blue Crown. [02:13] Yumiko     I-It's so nice to meet you. [02:16] Yumiko     My name is Utatane Yasumi,     and I work for Choco Brownie. [02:20] Kagasaki     President Kashima, we came today to... [02:22] Kashima     Please, that's quite all right. [02:24] Kashima     Why don't you take a seat first? [02:29] Kashima     What you did was genuinely unnecessary. [02:33] Kashima     Our agency was preparing     to explain everything [02:36] Kashima     in the proper way to dispel      the misunderstanding. [02:39] Kashima     Yugure Yuhi would have continued working [02:42] Kashima     as an idol voice actress unaffected. [02:46] Yumiko     I understand what I did was rash. [02:48] Yumiko     I didn't think things through. [02:51] Yumiko     I am truly sorry. [02:53] Kashima     I believe that regret is the most important      thing when you make a mistake. [02:59] Kashima     Growing from bitter experiences     is what gives them meaning. [03:03] Kashima     Do you well and truly regret      what you've done? [03:08] Yumiko     Regret? [03:11] Yumiko     I... don't regret it. [03:14] Yumiko     I am very sorry for what happened. [03:16] Yumiko     I've reflected on my actions. [03:18] Yumiko     But I do not regret what I've done. [03:22] Yumiko     Even if I could turn back time, [03:24] Yumiko     I probably would do the     exact same thing again. [03:27] Yumiko     At the very least, I don't think I was wrong [03:29] Yumiko     to try to do something for Watanabe. [03:35] Kashima     You listen here... [03:37] Kashima     Learn your damn place, you little brat! [03:39] Kashima     Do you have any idea what you're saying?! [03:41] Kashima     There's a limit to sh-shu-shtupid— [03:44] Yumiko     He stuttered... [03:54] Kashima     Goodness, I'm really sorry, Kagasaki-san. [03:57] Kashima     I couldn't keep it together. [03:59] Kashima     I messed my line up there good. [04:01] Kagasaki     Hardly, President. [04:02] Kagasaki     That was more than enough. [04:03] Kagasaki     I'm sorry for dragging you into this. [04:06] Yumiko     Wh-What's going on here? [04:08] Kashima     What? You're witnessing      Kagasaki-san's parental love. [04:12] Kagasaki     This was purely to make you     take responsibility. [04:14] Kagasaki     We actually settled everything yesterday. [04:17] Yumiko     Huh? [04:18] Kashima     Since this was between us and Choco Brownie, [04:20] Kashima     we were able to settle things amicably. [04:22] Kashima     But there was lots     we could have bickered about. [04:25] Kagasaki     I wanted you to understand     the gravity of the situation, [04:28] Kagasaki     so I went out on a limb and     asked him to put on a little act. [04:31] Kashima     And who was I to say no     when you asked like that? [04:34] Kashima     Not to mention, it's almost like      a higher-up's job to be mad. [04:38] Yumiko     I'm so glad! [04:40] Yumiko     I was so scared! [04:42] Yumiko     I'm so relieved! [04:44] Kashima     Sorry to get belligerent on you. [04:47] Kashima     But one more thing. [04:48] Kashima     I owe Kagasaki-san an apology for this     because she's trying to get you to focus, [04:52] Kashima     but there's something I need to say to you. [04:56] Kashima     Utatane Yasumi-san, thank you     for extending a hand to Yugure-san. [05:02] Yumiko     Huh? What do you mean? [05:04] Kashima     It's true we were already planning      Yugure-san's comeback.

SIGN    Yugure's Knight SIGN     Notification of Yugure Yuhi's Casting Couch Affair [05:14] Kashima     Usually, someone whose spirit is broken     like that doesn't get back up. [05:20] Kashima     And the reason Yugure-san     is standing again is you. [05:25] Kashima     Because you reached out for her,      even though it meant sacrificing yourself, [05:30] Kashima     Yugure Yuhi was able to get back on her feet. [05:33] Kashima     Really and truly, thank you so much. [05:37] Kashima     Kagasaki-san, we should all     go out to eat together sometime. [05:41] Kagasaki     Certainly! [05:42] Kagasaki     Take us somewhere nice. [05:44] Naruse     Sir! [05:45] Naruse     Is your meeting over? [05:48] Naruse     Oh, Kagasaki-san! [05:50] Naruse     It's been so long— [05:51] Naruse     Wait, we saw each other yesterday! [05:53] Kagasaki     I see you're still working hard. [05:55] Naruse     And Utatane-san! [05:56] Naruse     This is our first time meeting, isn't it? [06:02] Kagasaki     Here you go. [06:03] Naruse     Th-Thank you so much! [06:05] Naruse     My name is Naruse Shuri.     I'm Yugure Yuhi's manager! [06:12] Yumiko     I-It's a pleasure. [06:13] Naruse     Thank you so much for what you did! [06:17] Naruse     I don't even know what would have happened     with Yuhi-chan if you hadn't been there! [06:21] Naruse     Thank you! Thank you so much! [06:27] Yumiko     She sure seemed flustered... [06:30] Yumiko     Can she really do manager stuff? [06:33] Kagasaki     Don't be stupid. [06:34] Kagasaki     That woman is brilliant. [06:36] Kagasaki     Yugure's able to shine because of her. [06:41] Kagasaki     She manages other popular girls, too. [06:44] Yumiko     I figured she was new here... [06:46] Kagasaki     She's older than I am, you know. [06:49] Yumiko     You're joking! [06:50] Kagasaki     I'm serious. [06:54] Yumiko     So, Kagasaki-san... [06:56] Yumiko     How do you really feel? [06:57] Yumiko     Was that all a performance? [06:59] Yumiko     Or are you honestly mad? [07:01] Kagasaki     What? [07:03] Kagasaki     I'm absolutely livid. [07:04] Yumiko     Uh-oh... [07:06] Kagasaki     From a manager's perspective, [07:08] Kagasaki     I couldn't care less about     actors from other agencies. [07:11] Kagasaki     I wished you'd only been     worried about yourself. [07:14] Kagasaki     However... [07:16] Kagasaki     As plain, old, nonmanagerial Ringo-chan, [07:21] Kagasaki     I think what you did was pretty incredible. [07:25] Kagasaki     Taking a hit to help another isn't     something just anyone would do. [07:31] Kagasaki     You did good. [07:33] Yumiko     Kagasaki-san... [07:35] Yumiko     Being nice to me after being so mean     is how an abusive boyfriend behaves. [07:39] Kagasaki     How dare you! [07:41] Mekuru     Oh, my! [07:42] Mekuru     Kagasaki-san? [07:43] Yumiko     Oh, it's Mekurun! [07:48] Yumiko     The singing, dancing idol voice actress     who got her start alongside Otome-neesan! [07:52] Mekuru     Wasn't expecting to run into you here. [07:55] Kagasaki     I'd forgotten you also worked     at Blue Crown, Yubisaki-san. [07:58] Mekuru     You're Utatane Yasumi-san, right? [08:02] Yumiko     Yes! It's nice to meet you. [08:05] Yumiko     I'm Utatane Yasumi with Choco Brownie. [08:08] Yumiko     I'm so glad we could meet. [08:09] Mekuru     I'm Yubisaki Mekuru.     I work for Blue Crown. [08:12] Mekuru     I guess you're here about Yugure, huh? [08:15] Mekuru     I wanted to thank you for that. [08:18] Mekuru     You have my gratitude, Utatane-san... [08:23] Mekuru     for dragging our silly little star to hell. [08:29] Mekuru     A casting couch accusation? [08:31] Mekuru     Talk about the worst mistake     an idol voice actress could possibly make. [08:36] Mekuru     How utterly careless. [08:37] Mekuru     Totally not serious enough about the job. [08:39] Mekuru     I mean, come on. That was just awful. [08:42] Mekuru     And the agency covering     for her is just as bad. [08:45] Mekuru     Normally, that kind of screwup     would be grounds for dismissal. [08:49] Mekuru     But just when I was thinking what     a terrible example it would set [08:53] Mekuru     for a screwup like her to waltz back in here     like nothing ever happened, you stepped up. [08:59] Mekuru     Now that you've exposed everything about her, [09:03] Mekuru     the idol voice actress Yugure Yuhi      is as good as dead. [09:07] Mekuru     Thank you for doling out a suitable     punishment to that dumb girl. [09:13] Yumiko     Yubisaki-san, what happened to her      was an unfortunate accident. [09:18] Mekuru     Thinking of it that way is what makes      you a third-rate voice actress. [09:23] Mekuru     If you want to play friends,     go do it elsewhere. [09:27] Yumiko     Why are you acting like this? [09:30] Yumiko     It doesn't concern you. [09:32] Mekuru     It obviously does. [09:34] Mekuru     Because you two brazenly announced, [09:37] Mekuru     "Voice actresses are different in real life!" [09:39] Mekuru     Now fans everywhere have     it burned into their brains [09:44] Mekuru     that their favorite voice     actress might be faking it, too. [09:48] Mekuru     Every time a voice actress says something     cutesy, people will doubt her. [09:52] Mekuru     Even if she's speaking from the heart     or maybe by force of habit, [09:56] Mekuru     no one will take anything at face value now. [09:58] Mekuru     You think that doesn't concern me? [10:00] Mekuru     You've got some nerve, saying that. [10:02] Kagasaki     Yubisaki-san, please leave it at that. [10:05] Kagasaki     I can't have you bullying her too hard. [10:08] Mekuru     Calling that bullying is bullying me. [10:12] Mekuru     But since I do want to keep     working with you in the future, [10:17] Mekuru     please stay in touch, Kagasaki-san! [10:20] Mekuru     See you later! [10:24] Yumiko     What the hell was that?! [10:26] Yumiko     She didn't have to be so mean! [10:28] Yumiko     I mean, she's probably right, but still! [10:31] Kagasaki     Well, yeah. [10:33] Kagasaki     She was a bit harsh about it. [10:34] Yumiko     A bit?! [10:36] Yumiko     And wait, why are you in such a good mood? [10:39] Kagasaki     It's just kinda funny     for Yubisaki to end up saying [10:42] Kagasaki     everything I was thinking      I'd have to spell out for you. [10:46] Yumiko     So you agree with her? [10:49] Yumiko     I mean, I get it, but it still made me mad. [10:53] Kagasaki     But you know, Yumiko... [10:55] Kagasaki     I know you don't want to hear it, [10:57] Kagasaki     but if anything, you should     be following Yubisaki's example. [11:00] Yumiko     Huh?! [11:04] Mekuru     Everyone, let's go! SIGN    Yubisaki Mekuru's Merry-Go-Round Episode 212 [11:07] Mekuru     It's time for     Yubisaki Mekuru's Merry-Go-Round. [11:10] Mekuru     We have a guest today! [11:12] Otome     Hello! [11:14] Otome     My name is Sakuranamiki Otome. [11:16] Mekuru     Otome-chan! I'm so glad you could make it! SIGN    Yubisaki Mekuru's Merry-Go-Round Episode 212 [11:19] Mekuru     You didn't come today because     you had an announcement, [11:22] Mekuru     but because you just really     wanted to see me, right? [11:24] Otome     No, I have an announcement. [11:26] Mekuru     What, for real?! [11:27] Otome     Mind if I share it now? [11:28] Kagasaki     She has a good opening, right? [11:31] Mekuru     Um, so the movie takes place     after the last episode of the anime, right? [11:36] Yumiko     A perfectly paced conversation. [11:39] Yumiko     Quality questions. [11:40] Yumiko     The way she runs the show,     even someone out of the loop could keep up. [11:45] Yumiko     She's good. [11:47] Yumiko     Way better than me. [11:49] Kagasaki     Yubisaki-san's had three regular,      long-running shows [11:52] Kagasaki     that each made it to over     two hundred episodes. [11:56] Kagasaki     If there's some special or event,     there's a good chance she'll get a call. [12:00] Kagasaki     She has the gift of the gab. [12:02] Kagasaki     You can see the hook there, right? [12:06] Kagasaki     Since you've lost the hook     of being an idol voice actress, [12:10] Kagasaki     you need to find something else. [12:12] Kagasaki     In that regard, Yubisaki Mekuru     should be a great reference. [12:17] Yumiko     I get that, but... [12:20] Kagasaki     You can learn lots from her other shows, too. [12:23] Kagasaki     For example, Mekuru and Hanabi's     "You Know We Started the Same Year, Right?" [12:28] Kagasaki     People with chemistry obviously     have a lot of charm and draw. [12:33] Kagasaki     That would be ideal for High     School Radio, of course. [12:38] Yumiko     People with chemistry... [12:47] Yumiko     It's been several weeks since     the casting couch incident. [12:50] Yumiko     Yuhi and Yasumi's High School Radio's      listenership has shot up quite a bit.* [12:55] Yumiko*     After we dropped our personas,     our talks got pretty popular. [12:59] Yumiko     But not everything's been smooth sailing. [13:05] Yumiko     There was a huge backlash against the guy     who livestreamed our classroom. [13:08] Yumiko     His name and address were leaked,     and he ended up leaving our school. [13:14] Yumiko     That was a relief, but... [13:16] Yumiko     Since our high school's in the public eye now, [13:20] Yumiko     it's been drawing in people. [13:23] Wakana     Yumiko! [13:25] Wakana     Looks like our secret     escape route got patched up. [13:27] Yumiko     Yeah, I heard. [13:30] Wakana     I hear there's lots of people     waiting at the school gate. [13:33] Wakana     What are you gonna do? [13:34] Yumiko     Don't worry. [13:35] Yumiko     I've got a secret plan all lined up. [13:37] Yumiko     Thanks, Wakana. [13:39] Yumiko     You've got work today, right? [13:40] Yumiko     Go on ahead. [13:41] Wakana     Yep. Okay. [13:43] Wakana     See ya. [13:46] Chika     What's this secret plan? [13:52] Yumiko     Let's see... [13:58] Yumiko     What do we think? [14:00] Chika     You look like a very diligent student. [14:03] Chika     Like someone else entirely. [14:04] Yumiko     Right? [14:06] Chika     You can only pull that off     because of the way you normally look. [14:10] Chika     Maybe I should try a disguise, too. [14:13] Yumiko     Why not let me handle that? [14:15] Yumiko     I'll pull off something     they'll never see through. [14:19] Chika     You're rarely this generous. [14:21] Chika     What's going on? [14:23] Yumiko     I've always wanted to put makeup     on Yugure Yuhi's pretty face! [14:27] Yumiko     Not that I can say that... [14:29] Yumiko     I-I'd feel bad if I was      the only one to get away. [14:33] Chika     I see. [14:34] Chika     Then I'm in your hands. [14:40] Yumiko     Her face really is flawless.     As for the rest of her, though... [14:45] Yumiko     How's work these days? [14:48] Yumiko     Are things different? [14:50] Chika     I'm surprised by how much, actually. [14:53] Chika     I get far fewer offers now. [14:56] Chika     Naturally, idol voice actress gigs dropped off, [14:59] Chika     but anime and game gigs have too. [15:02] Chika     I got kicked off a lot of projects that     haven't been announced yet. [15:06] Yumiko     What about Phantom? [15:08] Chika     That one is fine. [15:10] Chika     If anything, replacing me now      would only make things worse. [15:17] Chika     I always had my doubts     about the idol-esque work. [15:21] Chika     I wanted to focus on jobs     that were strictly about my voice, [15:25] Chika     but this forced me to recognize     how much the idol work helped me. [15:32] Chika     Sato? [15:33] Yumiko     Sorry! [15:34] Yumiko     I'm done. [15:35] Chika     Then I'd like to see it in a mirror. [15:37] Yumiko     Hang on. [15:38] Yumiko     Watanabe, stand up. [15:44] Chika     You do know same-sex sexual     harassment is a thing, don't you? [15:48] Yumiko     Just hold still. [15:50] Chika     Fine. Do as you please. [15:56] Yumiko     Huh? What is it? [15:58] Chika     I can feel your breasts against my back. [16:02] Chika     They're soft. [16:03] Chika     It's wonderful. [16:04] Yumiko     Listen, lady, you know same-sex     sexual harassment is a thing, right? [16:12] Chika     You really aren't holding back... [16:15] Yumiko     The finishing touch. [16:17] Yumiko     And we're done! [16:20] Yumiko     Oh, so cute! So cute! [16:26] Chika     This is the worst. [16:27] Chika     I look as uncivilized as you normally do. [16:29] Chika     Have I gotten dumber? [16:31] Yumiko     As if makeup could do that! [16:33] Chika     Is this okay, though? [16:36] Chika     I just look like I've lost my mind. [16:38] Yumiko     It's fine, it's fine. [16:51] Guy1     Just now... [16:52] Guy2     That gyaru-looking chick was pretty cute, huh? [16:54] Guy3     I like the studious girl next to her. [17:06] Yumiko     See? I told you. [17:08] Chika     You were right. [17:11] Yumiko     Hello? [17:12] Yumiko     Kagasaki-san? [17:13] Chika     Yes, Naruse-san? [17:18] Kagasaki     Naruse-san, do you drink? [17:21] Naruse     I do like to drink. [17:23] Naruse     Though I stick to light stuff, like sours. [17:27] Naruse     I imagine you enjoy more adult drinks. [17:31] Kagasaki     We should go grab a few sometime. [17:34] Kagasaki     I know a really great place. [17:35] Yumiko     Whoa. Kagasaki-san, are you seducing     a woman from another agency? [17:39] Kagasaki     Yumiko? [17:41] Kagasaki     Is that a disguise? [17:42] Kagasaki     That's great. [17:43] Kagasaki     Not only is it a good disguise,     but it's a cute one, too. [17:47] Kagasaki     It suits you. [17:49] Naruse     Yuhi-chan, what's going on? [17:51] Naruse     You look so cute! [17:55] Yumiko     So, what's this meeting about? [17:58] Kagasaki     We're discussing some strategies. [18:00] Kagasaki     Usually, Blue Crown is our competition, [18:03] Kagasaki     but for now, we've decided     it's best to join forces. [18:06] Naruse     Our Yugure has taken a big hit. [18:10] Naruse     I was trying to think of ways     to reverse the current dip [18:13] Naruse     in her reputation when Kagasaki-san     reached out to me. [18:18] Kagasaki     Our Utatane is more or less in the same boat. [18:21] Kagasaki     So we were trying to figure out     how you two could collaborate. [18:24] Yumiko     Collaborate? The two of us? [18:27] Chika     Isn't that just dooming us     to fail simultaneously? [18:29] Yumiko     Hey! It was your controversy      I got swept up in. [18:33] Chika     You're the one who decided to jump     into the fire all by yourself. [18:37] Yumiko     Oh, wow, listen to you talking big! [18:40] Yumiko     Don't forget who was sobbing,     "I'm gonna quit voice acting!" [18:45] Chika     There it is. [18:46] Chika     I really hate this side of you! [18:49] Naruse     For this to work, we really     need you two to work together. [18:53] Kagasaki     Even amidst all this,      you have one ally on your side. [18:59] Kagasaki     Catch my drift? [19:00] Kagasaki     I mean the radio show. [19:02] Naruse     Your talks are popular     because you don't mince words, [19:05] Naruse     and your new style is gaining     more and more popularity. [19:08] Kagasaki     They're accepting you,      so we're riding this wave. [19:12] Kagasaki     Utatane Yasumi as the sociable gyaru. [19:15] Naruse     And Yugure Yuhi as the reserved one. [19:17] Naruse     That's how we'll market you. [19:19] Naruse     We'll make people forget your past personas [19:22] Naruse     and reacknowledge you for who you are. [19:24] Chika     Wait, please. [19:26] Chika     Does this mean you want us     to build entirely new personas? [19:29] Chika     If so, won't we just have the same problem? [19:32] Naruse     But it's true that Utatane-san is a gyaru, [19:34] Naruse     and Yuhi-chan, you're certainly     well-behaved, right? [19:38] Naga     There are plenty of voice actors     who sell their real personalities. [19:42] Naga     That's the angle we're going for. [19:44] Naruse     See, now you can talk about     what you like all you want. [19:48] Naruse     Like about Iron Gondola. [19:51] Naruse     And maybe the great noises     robots make when they move? [19:54] Chika     It's not "Gondola." It's Goldra. [19:56] Chika     And yes, I may have talked about     how great the sounds are, [19:59] Chika     but that's not the only thing      that makes it so wonderful. [20:01] Yumiko     So, what exactly are we supposed to do? [20:04] Kagasaki     Naruse-san and I used our connections to get     you a bunch of guest spots on radio shows. SIGN    THU 21     Meeting Trinity 10AM          FRI 22     Anime Viewer November Edition     Script Check     Internal Meeting 10 AM SIGN    September Schedule [20:10] Naruse     We'll do more appearances and get      listeners used to your new personas. [20:15] Kagasaki     After that, we'll do events. [20:18] Kagasaki     I'll share the schedule      with you later, so look it over. [20:21] Kagasaki     At any rate, getting in front of fans— [20:22] Yumiko     H-Hold on a sec! [20:24] Yumiko     Watanabe and I are being hated on     by our fans for "deceiving" them. [20:28] Yumiko     If we get out there now,     it'll only make things worse. [20:31] Chika     Besides, even if we did events,     nobody would show up. [20:36] Otome     And that's where I come in. [20:41] Yumiko     Otome-neesan! [20:42] Kagasaki     Sorry for calling you out when you're so busy. [20:46] Otome     No problem! [20:47] Otome     Anything for my precious juniors. [20:50] Otome     Both of your makeovers are amazing! [20:52] Otome     How cute! [20:54] Chika     Uhm... [20:55] Kagasaki     Going forward,     we'll really lean into Heart Tart. [21:00] Kagasaki     Luckily, the release of your second     single is coming up. [21:04] Naruse     All your worries about events will     be resolved if Sakuranamiki-san's there. [21:09] Kagasaki     Nobody wants to be disliked     by someone they love. [21:13] Kagasaki     With Sakuranamiki there, [21:15] Kagasaki     I seriously doubt anyone will go out     of their way to come hate on you. [21:19] Otome     You're really overselling me. [21:21] Kagasaki     Well, that's the idea. [21:23] Kagasaki     We'll do a talk show before the release     and a personal release event. [21:26] Kagasaki     There're also some radio shows willing     to have you on as Heart Tart. [21:30] Yumiko     Otome-neesan, do you even     have time for any of this? [21:32] Otome     Not a problem. [21:34] Otome     It is for you two, after all. [21:36] Kagasaki     In order to minimize stress      for Sakuranamiki, [21:40] Kagasaki     it'll mainly be you two doing     the radio spots. [21:42] Naruse     You'll be on all sorts of shows, [21:44] Naruse     so make sure to read up on them     so you don't get confused. [21:49] Naruse     Your first appearance will be... [21:52] Naruse     This one. [21:54] Yumiko     Yikes! SIGN    Yubisaki Mekuru's Merry-Go-Round SIGN    Episode 216 [21:56] Chika     Ah, I see. [21:58] Otome     It's Mekuru-chan's show!
