Round and round we go!
[00:03] Mekuru
Let me introduce today's guests.
[00:06] Mekuru
Here they are!
[00:07] Yasumi
Round and round we go!
[00:09] Yasumi
Hiya. Utatane Yasumi here.
[00:11] Yuhi
Round and round we go.
[00:13] Yuhi
I'm Yugure Yuhi.
[00:15] Mekuru
Yay, thanks for coming!
[00:17] Yumiko's Mom
Welcome.
[00:18] Mekuru
Today, we have the duo
famous from the radio show
[00:19] Guy
Hi there.
[00:21] Mekuru
Yugure and Yasumi's High School Radio!*
[00:25] Mekuru*
Welcome, Utatane Yasumi-chan
and Yugure Yuhi-chan!
[00:29] Yasumi
This introduction's a bit much for me.
[00:29] Guy
Oh, Yumiko-chan must be working hard.
[00:32] Yuhi
"Famous duo"?
[00:33] Yumiko's Mom
I hope you're rooting for her.
[00:34] Yasumi
We just happen to attend the same school.
[00:37] Mekuru
Going to the same school is wild!
[00:39] Mekuru

SIGN #06 Yuhi and Yasumi Are Definitely Doomed?
[02:11] both
Good morning.
[02:20] Mekuru
I didn't think I'd get dragged
in to clean up your mess
[02:22] Mekuru
just because you're my junior at the agency.
[02:26] Mekuru
I hear you're going to go annoy
a ton of other radio shows, too.
[02:29] Chika
Did you hear that from Naruse-san?
[02:32] Mekuru
What are you talking about?
You wouldn't shut up about it on your show.
[02:36] Yumiko(m)
She listens to our show?
[02:39] Mekuru
You've gone and exposed yourselves,
[02:41] Mekuru
but if you dare to out me
or any other actress,
[02:44] Mekuru
I'll beat you to a pulp.
[02:45] Yumiko
We wouldn't do that.
[02:48] Yumiko
Why are you so aggressive with us, anyway?
[02:52] Mekuru
Because I can't stand people
like you who half-ass this job.
[02:57] Mekuru
What pisses me off the most is that you
think you're the poor victims here.
[03:03] Yumiko
Forget me.
[03:05] Yumiko
But Yu is totally the victim here.
[03:06] Mekuru
You guys were the ones doing the harm.
[03:09] Mekuru
At least to your fans.
[03:11] Mekuru
As an idol voice actress, you protect
their fantasies with your life.
[03:15] Mekuru
The agency would've kept you
on the idol voice actress path, too.
[03:19] Mekuru
But now we're seeing what happens when you
carelessly keep taking the easy way out.
[03:23] Yumiko
That's...
[03:25] Mekuru
In that sense, you're the naivest
one here, Utatane Yasumi.
[03:30] Mekuru
Yugure went out of her way to protect you,
[03:33] Mekuru
so you go sabotage yourself all on your own.
[03:35] Mekuru
You made so many people's lives harder,
purely for your own self-satisfaction.
[03:39] Mekuru
You even turned your fans against you.
[03:45] Chika
Harping on the hypothetical and gloating...
[03:48] Chika
How uncouth of you.
[03:50] Mekuru
You mad because I hit you with the truth?
[03:53] Mekuru
Not that you glaring at me fazes me one bit.
[03:56] Asaka
Goodness, you guys always get
into it no matter where you are.
[04:00] Yumiko
Asaka-chan?!
[04:02] Yumiko
Why are you here?
[04:03] Asaka
I'm the writer for the show.
[04:06] Asaka
Now, shall we get started?
[04:11] Director
That's a wrap.
[04:13] Mekuru
Great work!
[04:15] Asaka
Yuhi-chan, can I get your autograph
on these gifts?
[04:16] Yumiko(m)
She really is good!
[04:18] Chika
Sure.
[04:19] Yumiko(m)
She kept a snappy pace but made sure
to get in laughs to make the show fun.
[04:25] Yumiko(m)
Things were ugly before recording,
but even I couldn't help laughing along.
[04:30] Yumiko(m)
She's also knowledgeable
about voice acting and projects.
[04:33] Yumiko
Um, Yubisaki-san.
[04:35] Yumiko
Do you memorize all that
information about your guests?
[04:39] Mekuru
Shut up. Don't take an interest in me.
[04:41] Yumiko
You knew lots about us, too.
[04:44] Yumiko
Does that mean you keep tabs on us?
[04:48] Mekuru
Maybe.
[04:49] Yumiko
How can I become the kind
of conversationalist you are?
[04:54] Mekuru
Who knows?
[04:55] Mekuru
Well, then. I'll be off now!
[04:57] Yumiko
Yubisaki-san!
[04:59] Yumiko
Could we grab a bite together?
[05:05] Mekuru
Dining with a brat who can't even drink?
[05:07] Mekuru
You must be joking.
[05:09] Yumiko
So if I were old enough to drink,
you'd go with me?
[05:16] Chika
I can't believe you'd ask after
she mopped the floor with you.
[05:20] Chika
Are you into that?
[05:21] Yumiko
Even if you don't like someone,
[05:23] Yumiko
you'll never understand them
if you don't talk to them.
[05:26] Chika
Huh...
[05:26] Yumiko
Asaka-chan, you could
have helped me out there a little.
[05:30] Asaka
Give me a break.
[05:31] Asaka
If she doesn't want to, I can't make her.
[05:35] Yumiko
So you think she really didn't want to?
[05:38] Chika
I mean, obviously.
[05:40] Chika
Have you lost the ability
to tell how other people feel?
[05:43] Yumiko
I just feel like Yubisaki-san
puts up that wall on purpose.
[05:49] Yumiko
That's the vibe I get.
[05:52] Yumiko
Is Yubisaki-san that rude
to other voice actresses as well?
[05:56] Asaka
No, not at all.
[05:57] Asaka
If anything, she's usually
cool and businesslike.
[06:00] Asaka
But she's amicable enough
that it's not a bad thing.
[06:04] Chika
That's the impression I had from
meeting her at the agency as well.
SIGN A few days later
[06:10] Yumiko(m)
As for the anime starting in the fall,
Under the Purple Sky*...
[06:14] Yumiko
Hello, everyone!
[06:17] Yumiko(m)
At first I was worried that*
a scandal involving
[06:21] Yumiko(m)
two main cast members would
negatively affect the show,
[06:25] Yumiko(m)
but the staff and other voice actresses
were all friendly and encouraging.
[06:31] Yumiko(m)
Things have proceeded without a hitch,
[06:32] Producer
I'd like to give it one more push
with a special or something.
[06:33] Yumiko(m)
and we're wrapping recording
on the last episode.
[06:37] Producer2
Yeah.
[06:38] Producer2
I mean, we have Sakuranamiki-san here.
[06:41] Producer2
Sounds good to me.
[06:43] Producer2
We could do a review special where the
voice actresses talk or something.
[06:47] Producer
But Utatane-san and Yugure-san...
[06:50] Producer
You know.
[06:51] Producer2
Yeah, I know, but just using Sakuranamiki-san
would be too blatant, wouldn't it?
[06:56] Producer2
After all, their agencies have asked us
to use them as much as possible.
[07:01] Producer
I want to, but realistically speaking...
[07:11] Chika
Sato? What's wrong?
[07:15] Yumiko
How do you mean?
[07:16] Chika
Come on...
[07:18] Sound
Shall we begin?
[07:20] Chika
Haru-chan! I'm making coffee. Want some?
[07:24] Otome
Oh, really?
[07:26] Otome
Thank you!
[07:27] Otome
I'd love some.
[07:29] Yumiko
I knew it...
[07:30] Yumiko
Watanabe's acting takes my breath away.
[07:33] Yumiko
As I am now, I have no chance
against Yugure Yuhi.
[07:37] Yumiko
Her acting is so good.
[07:39] Yumiko
Her voice is so good.
[07:42] Yumiko
I can't stand her, but when I let my guard
down, I find myself admiring her.
SIGN Tragic: Yuhime Confirmed on Casting Couch
[07:46] Yumiko
So why...?
[07:48] Yumiko
Why did something so dumb have
to rob her of acting opportunities?
[07:59] Otome
Yasumi-chan?
[08:02] Otome
Are you okay?
[08:03] Otome
Did something happen?
[08:04] Yumiko
Huh?
[08:05] Yumiko
W-Well...
[08:08] Yumiko
The whole casting couch thing
has just been a lot.
[08:13] Yumiko
Nee-san, they're saying stuff
about you online too, right?
[08:17] Yumiko
That you might also be shady because
you're in a girl group with us...
[08:23] Otome
Are they saying that?
[08:25] Otome
I mean, it's just online chatter.
[08:28] Otome
You don't have to worry about it.
[08:31] Otome
Since the first time we worked together,
[08:33] Otome
it's always made me happy that
you call me "Nee-san,"
[08:37] Otome
just like you did when we were acting.
[08:39] Otome
I figure as your big sister, and as your
senpai, I have to have it together.
[08:44] Otome
So you can talk to me about anything.
[08:47] Otome
After all, I'm your big sis.
[08:50] Yumiko
Otome-neesan...
[08:53] Otome
One more important thing.
[08:56] Otome
There are lots of people around
you who want to help you, me included.
[09:01] Otome
But you should know it's
not good to bottle things up
[09:05] Otome
because you're worried
you might inconvenience someone.
[09:08] Otome
You have to prioritize
what you want the most.
[09:13] Chika
I see. Sakuranamiki-san said that?
[09:17] Chika
Not to jump on the bandwagon,
[09:19] Chika
but I get what she means.
[09:22] Chika
I've also felt something was a little off.
[09:25] Yumiko(m)
Even Watanabe could tell?
[09:27] Yumiko
Well, then...
[09:30] Yumiko
Hey, Asaka-chan?
[09:32] Asaka
Hmm?
[09:32] Yumiko
Is our radio show okay the way it is?
[09:37] Asaka
I think it's fine.
[09:39] Asaka
Your listener count and inbox have exploded.
[09:42] Yumiko
Even though we're just talking as ourselves?
[09:45] Asaka
It's working, though.
[09:48] Asaka
Why do you ask?
[09:50] Yumiko
It's been bothering me for a while.
[09:54] Chika
You say our show is popular,
[09:56] Chika
but aren't some of those emails negative?
[09:59] Asaka
Every show gets those.
[10:02] Asaka
Compared to the rest of your mail,
they're just a drop in the bucket.
[10:05] Yumiko
I wanna know more about that drop.
[10:07] Asaka
I don't think you should bother.
[10:12] Asaka
Most of it is stuff like, "I'm surprised you
can still do this show after deceiving people."
[10:17] Asaka
Or "I bet they only pretend
to not like each other."
[10:20] Asaka
Or "I liked it better before."
Stuff like that.
[10:22] Asaka
Do you really want to hear all that?
[10:25] Chika
No.
[10:26] Chika
Sorry for making you say it.
[10:28] Asaka
It's okay.
[10:29] Asaka
Though I did think you were going to ask
how to get into your roles or something.
[10:34] Yumiko
Get into our roles?
[10:36] Asaka
I mean, you've been told to emphasize
your real personalities, right?
[10:41] Asaka
I was thinking maybe you've
overextended in that regard.
[10:44] Chika
Well, of course, it can be a bit stifling,
[10:48] Chika
but it's not like we're playing other people.
[10:51] Chika
Besides, isn't it bad to think that way?
[10:54] Asaka
Regardless of the situation,
[10:56] Asaka
it's not wrong to think
"playing this character is tough."
[11:00] Asaka
From where I'm sitting,
[11:02] Asaka
it seems like you guys are
having a tougher time than before.
[11:05] Asaka
There are lots of voice actors
who go with their real personalities,
[11:09] Asaka
and acting like someone who's
you but not quite can be really stressful.
[11:15] Yumiko
Then what do you do
if you have that problem, Asaka-chan?
[11:20] Asaka
Either you live with that stifling
feeling for the rest of your life
[11:24] Asaka
or you stop playing that character, I guess.
[11:33] Yumiko
What's up?
[11:35] Chika
It's my mother.
[11:37] Chika
She's waiting at the agency.
[11:40] Chika
She wants me to come talk about my future.
[12:00] Chika's Mom
What are you two doing here?
[12:01] Chika's Mom
This doesn't concern you.
[12:03] Yumiko
Since I'm doing a radio show with Chika-san,
[12:06] Yumiko
I think this does concern me.
[12:09] Chika
I asked Dad to come.
[12:11] Chika's Mom
I'm fine with Yumiko-chan,
[12:13] Chika's Mom
but you have no right to say anything.
You're just going to get in the way.
[12:17] Kamishiro
I'm only here because Chika
asked me to be here for her.
[12:22] Kashima
Now, then, Watanabe-san,
[12:24] Kashima
what did you want to discuss today?
SIGN Found where Yugure Yuhi lives
1. Voiceless anonymous
I followed her after school, but man,
that's a nice place lol
2. Voiceless anonymous
What's her apartment number?
3. Voiceless anonymous
Literally a crime
[12:27] Chika's Mom
Have a look at this.
[12:29] Mom
There's a picture online of
the building where Chika and I live.
[12:35] Yumiko
Does that mean they figured it out?!
[12:37] Chika's Mom
Yes. They weren't able to determine
our apartment number,
[12:42] Chika's Mom
but this puts Chika in a very
dangerous situation.
[12:45] Chika's Mom
I won't stand for it any longer.
[12:48] Chika's Mom
I'd like her to quit voice acting.
[12:50] Chika
Mom!
[12:51] Naruse
But...
[12:53] Kashima
It's the agency's fault
things have gone this far.
[12:58] Kashima
I am deeply sorry for that.
[13:00] Kashima
However, Watanabe-san—
[13:01] Chika
Mom!
[13:02] Chika
We didn't talk about this at all!
[13:05] Chika's Mom
Your opinion is irrelevant.
[13:07] Chika's Mom
Once something happens, it'll be too late.
[13:09] Kamishiro
Even so, it's cruel to ask her
to quit right now.
[13:13] Chika's Mom
You don't even care that your
daughter is facing imminent danger?
[13:18] Kamishiro
I agree that precautions need to be taken.
[13:21] Kamishiro
But my point is that quitting
voice acting is too extreme.
[13:25] Chika's Mom
If we care about Chika's safety,
[13:27] Chika's Mom
it's best to tackle the root problem.
[13:29] Chika's Mom
Voice acting isn't worth it
if it puts her in harm's way.
[13:34] Kamishiro
But Chika's gifted. She's even landed
the lead role in an anime.
[13:39] Kamishiro
If she quits now, it will cause
trouble for a lot of people.
[13:42] Chika's Mom
How can you say that as her father?!
[13:45] Chika's Mom
I really hate that about you.
[13:48] Chika
Enough!
[13:49] Chika
If you're so against it, I'll move out!
[13:52] Chika
I'll move in with Dad!
[13:54] Chika's Mom
I have sole custody.
[13:57] Chika's Mom
As you're a minor, there should be no issues
with your guardian dissolving your contract.
[14:02] Chika's Mom
If you really insist on being a voice actress,
[14:05] Chika's Mom
at least wait until you graduate high school.
[14:07] Naruse
A-A year and a half?
[14:09] Naruse
That's really too long...
[14:11] Yumiko
H-Hold on just a minute.
[14:13] Yumiko
Yugure Yuhi quitting would be terrible.
[14:16] Yumiko
Our radio show is just taking off.
[14:19] Chika's Mom
I do think that's regrettable,
[14:21] Chika's Mom
but you'll just have to end it.
[14:23] Yumiko
I-I don't want... Watanabe to quit.
[14:29] Chika's Mom
Your feelings are irrelevant.
[14:31] Chika's Mom
The problem is that there are
people with ill intent out there.
[14:35] Yumiko
Then I-I'll tell those people...
[14:40] Chika's Mom
Huh?
[14:41] Yumiko
I'll tell them, "This is seriously harmful,
so please stop doing it!"
[14:47] Chika's Mom
And you think they'll relent
if you ask them to?
[14:51] Yumiko
That's what I believe.
[14:54] Chika's Mom
Then how about this?
[14:57] Chika's Mom
At a specific date and time, you post,
[14:59] Chika's Mom
"After school, I'm going to go to the
station via the shopping arcade.
[15:03] Chika's Mom
But everybody, please don't come.
[15:06] Chika's Mom
If anyone talks to me,
I'm going to quit voice acting."
[15:13] Chika's Mom
If no one actually comes to bother you,
[15:16] Chika's Mom
I'll forgo putting Chika on hiatus.
[15:20] Yumiko
There's no way...
[15:21] Chika
I'll do it.
[15:23] Chika
If I have to go on hiatus anyway,
[15:25] Chika
I can accept it if my fans drive
the final nail in the coffin.
[15:28] Chika's Mom
What? What are you getting so serious for?
[15:32] Chika's Mom
I was obviously joking.
[15:34] Chika's Mom
I would never let you do that.
[15:37] Naruse
Ma'am, please let us come up with a plan.
[15:40] Naruse
I think that's a bit too harsh,
[15:43] Naruse
but please, anything so she can
continue voice acting!
[15:48] Yumiko
If it means Watanabe can keep going,
I'll do everything in my power to help, too!
[15:56] Chika's Mom
Then let's do it this way.
[15:58] Chika's Mom
Yumiko-chan, you'll also wager your voice
acting career and go along with my joke.
[16:04] Yumiko
Huh?
[16:05] Chika's Mom
If anyone talks to you on your
way home, you go on hiatus.
[16:09] Chika's Mom
It's perfect, right?
[16:11] Chika's Mom
You believe in your fans, don't you?
[16:32] Chika
Sorry for staying over out of the blue.
[16:35] Yumiko
I don't mind that...
[16:38] Yumiko
but why are you in here with me?!
[16:40] Chika
It's a bit small for the two of us, huh?
[16:42] Yumiko
I told you so!
[16:47] Yumiko
Let's think of something.
[16:48] Yumiko
A way to continue voice acting.
[16:51] Yumiko
Going on hiatus is out of the question.
[16:53] Yumiko
Right?
[16:55] Chika
Naturally, I feel the same way.
[16:58] Chika
But my mother doesn't listen
when she gets like this.
[17:03] Chika
Hey, can I talk about something
totally different?
[17:08] Yumiko
Sure. I'd love that, actually.
[17:11] Chika
Yubisaki-san is practically
the same height as me.
[17:16] Yumiko
Yeah, you're right.
[17:18] Chika
But even so, her breasts
are quite respectable.
[17:24] Chika
Sato, can I ask for a favor?
[17:27] Yumiko
You can't touch my boobs!
[17:29] Chika
I didn't even say anything.
[17:32] Chika
That exchange with my mother
was really depressing,
[17:36] Chika
so I'm really upset...
[17:42] Yumiko
No fair, Onee-chan.
[17:44] Yumiko
If you're that upset about it,
[17:46] Yumiko
you can touch them.
[17:49] Chika
Thank you, Sato!
[17:51] Chika
I knew you'd have mercy on me.
[17:53] Yumiko
You are really twisted.
[18:02] Yumiko(m)
Do I have to just sit by and watch
as Watanabe's forced into hiatus?
[18:07] Yumiko(m)
I can't do that.
[18:09] Yumiko(m)
But...
[18:11] Yumiko(m)
Even if I go in on the wager,
there's no way it'll work out.
[18:16] Yumiko(m)
And then I'll be on hiatus, too.
[18:21] Yumiko(m)
Would I quit voice acting?
[18:24] Yumiko(m)
No way! I only just made it.
I've worked so hard for this.
[18:30] Yumiko(m)
I haven't even managed
to audition for Pritia*...
[18:34] Yumiko's Mom
Yu-chan's sure a sweet girl.
[18:37] Yumiko
Yeah.
[18:38] Yumiko's Mom
Will she come over again?
[18:41] Yumiko
Yeah.
[18:49] Yumiko's Mom
What do you think you should do?
[18:51] Yumiko
I don't know.
[18:54] Yumiko's Mom
What do you want to do?
[18:56] Yumiko
I don't know.
[18:58] Yumiko's Mom
I'm sorry. This isn't
the right way to go about it.
[19:02] Yumiko's Mom
This isn't something you kids
should have to worry about.
[19:06] Yumiko's Mom
I actually have something to say.
[19:09] Yumiko's Mom
Could you get your managers,
Yu-chan, and her mother together?
[19:14] Yumiko
Huh?
[19:17] Yumiko's Mom
I'm sorry for asking you here
when you're all so busy.
[19:21] Kagasaki
Er, then what did you want
to discuss today, ma'am?
[19:26] Yumiko's Mom
It's about yesterday.
[19:29] Yumiko's Mom
I understand how Chika-chan's mom feels.
I really do.
[19:33] Yumiko's Mom
I mean, there's so much to worry about.
[19:37] Chika's Mom
Indeed.
[19:38] Kagasaki
I heard about what happened as well, so...
[19:42] Yumiko's Mom
Good. I was also thinking of having
Yumiko go on hiatus until she graduates.
[19:49] Yumiko
Mom?!
[19:50] Yumiko's Mom
I mean, Yumiko's in the
same boat as Chika-chan.
[19:54] Yumiko's Mom
But I can't bring myself to tell her to quit.
[19:58] Yumiko's Mom
When I heard you actually went and did it,
[20:01] Yumiko's Mom
it gave me the courage to do the same.
[20:04] Kagasaki
Ma'am, what about how Yumiko feels?
[20:08] Kagasaki
This is so one-sided.
[20:10] Yumiko's Mom
I hear a parent has the right to ignore that,
[20:14] Yumiko's Mom
so please keep your opinions to yourself.
[20:18] Yumiko's Mom
But I also heard Chika-chan's
mom had a fun little wager.
[20:23] Yumiko's Mom
If the girls can prove their fans have no ill
intent, she'll allow Chika-chan to keep going.
[20:28] Yumiko's Mom
I think that sounds like it's worth trying.
[20:32] Chika
Please! You can't do this for me.
[20:35] Chika
It's annoying!
[20:37] Yumiko's Mom
I'm sorry, but this is a family affair.
[20:41] Chika's Mom
Are you trying to get to me?
[20:44] Chika's Mom
Emotionally swaying me won't work.
I won't retract what I said.
[20:48] Yumiko's Mom
I know.
[20:49] Yumiko's Mom
But I'll hold you to your word.
[20:52] Yumiko's Mom
If the girls win this wager, both of
them can continue working, right?
[20:57] Chika's Mom
Are you seriously suggesting that's possible?
[21:00] Yumiko's Mom
Their chances are nonzero.
[21:03] Chika's Mom
Suit yourself.
[21:05] Chika's Mom
If anything, I think Yumiko-chan going
on hiatus would be a good thing.
[21:10] Chika's Mom
She's no better off, after all.
[21:15] Yumiko's Mom
Are you familiar with Witchy Pritia?
[21:19] Chika's Mom
No.
[21:20] Yumiko's Mom
It's a long-running morning
anime for children.
[21:24] Yumiko's Mom
Many voice actresses aspire
to get a role on that show.
[21:28] Yumiko's Mom
In turn, the competition is really fierce,
[21:31] Yumiko's Mom
so landing a role is really hard.
[21:35] Yumiko's Mom
Some people even think of joining
Pritia as a status symbol.
[21:40] Yumiko's Mom
You said that Yumiko going
on hiatus would be good.
[21:44] Yumiko's Mom
But she won't do it.
[21:47] Yumiko's Mom
Don't underestimate my daughter's resolve.
[21:50] Yumiko's Mom
Utatane Yasumi is a voice actress
who will eventually star in Pritia.
[21:55] Yumiko(m)
We barely have any chance of success.
[21:58] Yumiko(m)
But in order for us to keep going,
[22:00] Yumiko(m)
we have to stake everything*
on this reckless wager!
SIGN #07 Yuhi and Yasumi Just Can't Give Up
[23:36] both
"Yuhi and Yasumi Just Can't Give Up."
