[00:09] Yumiko
Onee-chan!
[00:11] Yumiko
Over here!
[00:14] Yumiko(m)
I thought maybe I could cheer
Watanabe up by inviting her out,
[00:17] Yumiko(m)
but I never thought she'd actually come.
[00:20] Yumiko(m)
I can see how all this would
be really depressing...
[00:35] Yumiko
Watanabe, is there anything you
want other than crepes?
[00:39] Chika
Let me think...
[00:41] Yumiko(m)
The only way for us to keep being
voice actresses is to take the wager.
[00:46] Yumiko(m)
But the way the internet is whipped
up in a frenzy over it,
[00:50] Yumiko(m)
there's no way it's gonna work.
[00:52] Yumiko
Ugh.

[02:31] Chika
Hello.
[02:33] Mekuru
Man, talk about running into people
I did not want to see.
[02:37] Chika
Yubisaki-san, are you on your way to work?
[02:39] Mekuru
Yeah.
[02:40] Mekuru
A special for a mobile game.
[02:42] Mekuru
Oh?
[02:43] Mekuru
I never would've thought the
ultra-popular idol voice actress
[02:47] Mekuru
Yugure Yuhi wastes time
like this on her days off.
[02:52] Yumiko
Yubisaki-san...
[02:53] Mekuru
Later.
[02:54] Mekuru
Some of us take our careers seriously.
[02:58] Yumiko
She's, like, the worst.
[03:03] Yumiko
Let's go.
[03:09] Yumiko
Well, see you later.
[03:11] Chika
Sato.
[03:13] Yumiko
Yes?
[03:14] Chika
If we do end up having to quit voice work,
[03:17] Chika
do you think every day would be like this?
[03:19] Yumiko
Huh?
[03:20] Chika
If I go on hiatus for a year and a half,
[03:23] Chika
everyone will forget who I am.
[03:27] Chika
Nobody would want me, and I'd
no longer be able to do voice acting.
[03:34] Chika
When I imagine that,
I get so scared I can barely take it.
[03:39] Chika
It hurts.
[03:40] Chika
It's really painful...
[03:42] Chika
It's like some incredibly dark,
deep void is filling my chest.
[03:47] Chika
I had no idea losing my vision of
the future could feel this terrible.
[03:52] Yumiko(m)
I get that.
[03:53] Yumiko(m)
That's how I've been feeling all along.
[03:56] Yumiko(m)
So you finally understand?
[03:58] Yumiko(m)
You were so popular from day one,
[04:01] Yumiko(m)
I guess you've never felt
anything like this before.
[04:06] Chika
Thank you for taking me out today.
[04:08] Chika
It made me feel a little better.
[04:11] Yumiko(m)
How could I even think that...?
[04:15] Yumiko
You know, it's not set in stone
that we'll be going on hiatus.
[04:19] Yumiko
We've got a lot to think about,
[04:20] Yumiko
like how we'll announce the deal and stuff.
[04:24] Yumiko
But until then, let's just focus
on the work right in front of us.
[04:30] Chika
You're right.

"Sakura Colored"
Meet & greet release event
[04:42] Otome
I'm so happy!
[04:44] Yumiko
You're sure in high spirits, Nee-san.
[04:46] Otome
Of course I am!
[04:48] Otome
It's not every day that you
get to meet your fans!
[04:52] Otome
I can't wait to chat with them.
[04:55] Yumiko(m)
Nee-san, you're blinding...
[04:59] Kagasaki
Yumiko.
[05:00] Kagasaki
There's no need to be nervous.
[05:03] Kagasaki
Do what you always do,
just like you always do.
[05:06] Naruse
W-We're going to be here too!
[05:08] Naruse
So don't you worry.
Just mingle with your fans.
[05:12] Yumiko(m)
This is our first event
since the incident.
[05:16] Yumiko(m)
We have more staff today than
for a normal meet and greet like this.
[05:20] Yumiko(m)
Having Otome-neesan as the main
attraction was strategic, too.
[05:23] Yumiko(m)
They're hoping nobody
will say anything too nasty
[05:27] Yumiko(m)
in front of Sakuranamiki Otome.
[05:31] Yumiko(m)
I'm still nervous, though.
[05:33] Yumiko(m)
Not to mention...
[05:34] Yumiko
Kagasaki-san.
[05:36] Yumiko
Don't you think we should be
dressed up like how we used to?
[05:40] Kagasaki
I don't think so.
[05:42] Kagasaki
These are your personas now,
so this is fine.
[05:44] Kagasaki
I think you look very Yumiko-esque.
[05:48] Yumiko(m)
I guess if we're enforcing these
personas, this is for the best.
[05:54] FanA
Y-Your show earlier was amazing!
[05:57] Otome
My show?
[05:59] Otome
You came to see it?
[06:00] Otome
Thank you! That makes me so happy.
[06:02] Otome
I had so much fun with it.
[06:03] Yumiko(m)
The strategy is going exactly as planned.
[06:05] FanA
I wish you all the best!
[06:07] Chika
Thank you...
[06:10] FanA
I-I'm rooting for you.
[06:12] Chika
I'll work hard.
[06:14] Chika
Thank you for coming today...
[06:16] Yumiko
Hey, you came last time, too!
[06:18] Yumiko
I remember you!
[06:20] Yumiko
Thanks a bunch!
[06:21] FanE
Th-Thank you.
[06:23] Yumiko
Come again!
[06:27] Yumiko(m)
I'm just being myself,
[06:30] Yumiko(m)
so why is it so hard?
[06:32] Yumiko(m)
It's not like anyone's expecting
me to be especially bubbly.
[06:36] Yumiko(m)
And I can even tell what
kind of fans want that...
[06:40] Yumiko(m)
But if Watanabe and I want
to build these personas,
[06:43] Yumiko(m)
we can't change our behavior.
[06:45] Yumiko(m)
This was never an issue
for the previous "Utatane Yasumi."
[06:52] Otome
Thanks for coming out today!
[06:54] Yumiko(m)
A girl all by herself?
[06:56] Yumiko(m)
That's rare.
[07:00] Mekuru
Saku-chan, I love you!
[07:02] Mekuru
I love your radio show
and listen to it weekly!
[07:03] Mekuru
If I win the raffle for the
live recording, I'm so there!
[07:05] Mekuru
I know you're super busy, so I appreciate
you doing live recordings!
[07:08] Mekuru
I'll come to your next live show, too!
[07:10] Mekuru
I'm rooting for you! I love you!
You give me life!
[07:12] Mekuru
Thank you for everything!
[07:16] Otome
I'm so happy!
[07:17] Otome
Thank you so much!
[07:21] Chika
Thank you very much.
[07:23] Mekuru
I love your singing so much!
It's too good! It's a national treasure!
[07:26] Mekuru
And your acting is so amazing that
I'm always captivated! It's the best!
[07:29] Yumiko
This girl is really passionate...
[07:32] Yumiko
I'm amazed that I can understand her
with how fast she's talking.
[07:36] Mekuru
Good luck with everything! I love you!
[07:41] Yumiko
Thanks for coming!
[07:47] Mekuru
Yasu-Yasu, I'm so happy I get to meet you!
[07:50] Mekuru
I've loved you since Plastic Girls!
[07:52] Mekuru
Mari-chan was my favorite!
I bought a ton of merch!
[07:54] Mekuru
I really love your singing, too!
[07:56] Mekuru
I listen to all of your character songs!
[07:58] Mekuru
I'm so happy I get to hear
you sing with Heart Tart!
[08:01] Mekuru
Your acting was really great
in Under the Purple Sky, too!
[08:03] Mekuru
I love you!
[08:05] Yumiko
Thanks so much!
[08:07] Yumiko
That makes me really happy!
[08:10] Yumiko
I hope you'll keep supporting me.
[08:13] Yumiko
Please come see me again if you can.
[08:16] Yumiko
I'll be waiting for you.
[08:20] Mekuru
Yasu-Yasu, I really love you...
[08:23] Mekuru
But...
[08:25] Mekuru
I'm sad I won't ever get to see
the old Yasu-Yasu ever again.
[08:32] Mekuru
I-I-I'm so sorry!
[08:34] Mekuru
I really didn't mean to say that!
[08:35] Mekuru
I-I'll go now!
[08:37] Yumiko
Wait!
[08:38] Yumiko
Did you just say you're sad
you won't get to see me?
[08:43] Yumiko(m)
I can't just ignore that.
[08:46] Yumiko(m)
I feel like I'm on the verge
of cracking something here.
[08:49] Mekuru
Um, I didn't mean to!
[08:53] Mekuru
I'm so sorry.
[08:56] Yumiko
Yubisaki-san?
[08:59] Mekuru
L-Let go of me!
[09:01] Yumiko
I just want to ask you something.
[09:03] Yumiko
There's a cafe on the top floor of this
building. Please wait for me there.
[09:07] Mekuru
What for?
[09:08] Yumiko
Do you want this to get out?
[09:11] Staff
Excuse me.
[09:13] Yumiko
I'm sorry!
[09:14] Yumiko
I really loved her hat,
[09:16] Yumiko
so I was just asking about the brand.
[09:22] Chika
I wasn't expecting that.
[09:24] Yumiko
Yeah.
[09:25] Chika
Yubisaki-san is bawling.
[09:29] Yumiko
Yeah...
[09:30] Yumiko
Why are you crying like that?
[09:33] Mekuru
Because this is the worst!
[09:35] Mekuru
I didn't want anyone to know,
[09:37] Mekuru
yet you had to be the ones who found out!
[09:39] Mekuru
This is so shameful!
[09:41] Mekuru
I'd rather be dead!
[09:45] Mekuru
If I grovel at your feet, will you forgive me?
[09:48] Mekuru
If I apologize for everything until now
[09:51] Mekuru
and grovel naked at your feet,
will you keep it a secret?
[09:54] Yumiko
Whoa.
[09:55] Yumiko
What do you take us for, horrible monsters?
[09:57] Mekuru
I do.
[09:59] Yumiko
Yeah, okay, groveling naked
sounds pretty good.
[10:02] Chika
So, I still don't know what to think of this,
[10:06] Chika
but are you actually a fan of ours?
[10:09] Mekuru
I am. I unironically love you.
[10:12] Yumiko
That explains why you knew so much about us.
[10:16] Mekuru
I was so happy when I won the raffle
for the meet and greet release.
[10:20] Mekuru
I had work, but miraculously,
I was able to make it on time.
[10:23] Chika
W-Wait a minute!
[10:25] Chika
But you were totally furious at us before.
[10:29] Chika
What was that all about?
[10:31] Mekuru
That was entirely genuine, too.
[10:34] Mekuru
It's true that I'm a fan,
[10:36] Mekuru
and it's also true that I'm mad.
[10:38] Mekuru
As your senior voice actress,
I found your behavior unacceptable.
[10:42] Mekuru
That's why I needed to say my piece.
[10:45] Mekuru
Plus, it was really annoying that I
had to help clean up your mess.
[10:49] Chika
So you can really draw that line?
[10:51] Chika
You adore us so much in real life,
but you hate us at work?
[10:55] Mekuru
You're the same way.
[10:56] Mekuru
Even though you don't like your
partner, you don't let it show.
[11:00] Mekuru
It's like that, but flipped around.
[11:02] Mekuru
I don't want my work
to encroach on my private life.
[11:05] Mekuru
I'm just a lot more strict about it than most.
[11:08] Yumiko
You aren't hiding something else?
[11:12] Yumiko
I mean, I understand wanting to keep
your work and private live separate.
[11:15] Yumiko
But this is over the top.
[11:17] Yumiko
Like you're really trying to build a wall.
[11:20] Mekuru
I'm the type of person who got into voice
acting because I adored the actresses so much.
[11:25] Mekuru
At my core, I'm just a superfan nerd.
[11:27] Mekuru
In fact, I still am...
[11:31] Mekuru
At heart, I'm still just a fan, okay?!
[11:34] Mekuru
I love you all so much that I can't help it!
[11:35] Mekuru
Do you honestly think I could keep
my cool actually meeting you?!
[11:38] Mekuru
You casually talk to me
because we're working together,
[11:41] Mekuru
but it's too much for me!
[11:42] Mekuru
I couldn't take it if I didn't build a wall!
[11:48] Yumiko
So you really do like us, huh, Mekuru-chan?
[11:51] Mekuru
Don't call me that!
[11:54] Mekuru
I've loved Yasu-Yasu ever since Plastic Girls.
[11:58] Mekuru
Mari-chan was my all-time favorite.
[12:00] Mekuru
I loved your performance, blending
your real voice with the character.
[12:05] Yumiko
Stop! I'm dying!
[12:07] Yumiko
You really, seriously like me?!
[12:10] Mekuru
I do!
[12:11] Mekuru
I follow your socials and radio show.
[12:14] Mekuru
I go to your events.
[12:15] Mekuru
I even went to the Plastic Girls live event.
[12:17] Mekuru
After Mari-chan's solo song, hearing your
catchphrase over the speakers made me cry.
[12:17] Yumiko(overlap)
Wow, you really do love me, huh?
[12:20] Mekuru
Just remembering it has me in tears.
[12:25] Yumiko
"You hold it right there!"
[12:26] Sign
Plastic Girls
Episode 14 "Marigold"
[12:26] Yumiko
"I won't tolerate this!"
[12:30] Mekuru
You can't do that to me!
[12:32] Mekuru
It's just cruel!
[12:33] Chika
Sato, we're here for a reason...
[12:36] Yumiko
Oh, yeah.
[12:38] Yumiko
I invited you here because
there's something I want to ask you.
[12:42] Yumiko
At the meet and greet event,
[12:45] Yumiko
you said you were sad because
you'd never get to see the old me again.
[12:49] Yumiko
I want to know what you meant by that.
[12:52] Mekuru
Precisely what I said.
[12:55] Mekuru
Yasu-Yasu, I've liked you ever since
your debut. You too, Yuhime.
[13:01] Mekuru
But what made me fall in love with Utatane
Yasumi was the cute, cheery way she talked.
[13:06] Mekuru
And with Yugure Yuhi, her refined, gentle demeanor.
[13:09] Mekuru
Nothing like you are now.
[13:11] Chika
But, Yubisaki-san,
[13:13] Chika
you must have seen what I was
really like at the office.
[13:16] Chika
And you still liked my persona?
[13:20] Mekuru
Who cares what you're really like?
[13:22] Mekuru
Every voice actress, to some degree,
puts on an act when they face the public.
[13:27] Mekuru
I'm no exception.
[13:28] Mekuru
I didn't like you as our agency's little star
[13:31] Mekuru
but as the Yugure Yuhi I saw on the screen.
[13:35] Mekuru
After that casting couch rumor,
[13:37] Mekuru
the two of you decided to run
with your real personalities.
[13:41] Mekuru
It was good for your radio show,
so your agencies were on board.
[13:45] Mekuru
You're rebranding yourselves.
[13:48] Mekuru
But... what the hell?!
[13:51] Mekuru
What about the people who
liked who you were before?!
[13:54] Mekuru
What about how I feel?
[13:56] Mekuru
I know you made the best of the situation!
[13:59] Mekuru
But this isn't about reason!
[14:00] Mekuru
My two favorite voice
actresses are just suddenly gone,
[14:03] Mekuru
and two totally different
people took their place!
[14:05] Mekuru
How could I not be upset about that?!
[14:08] Mekuru
As a voice actress and as a fan...
[14:12] Mekuru
I really hate you two.
[14:16] Yumiko(m)
I guess this is exactly what was bugging me.
[14:20] Yumiko(m)
Is it really okay for us to stay this way?
[14:23] Yumiko(m)
Is just assuming these new personas enough?
[14:25] Yumiko(m)
We were questioning ourselves for leaving
behind fans like Yubisaki-san
[14:33] Yumiko(m)
who liked us from before.
[14:42] Yumiko
Sorry for calling you here all
of a sudden, Asaka-chan.
[14:45] Asaka
It's fine.
[14:47] Asaka
But what's this favor you need?
[14:49] Yumiko
We'd like you to film a video.
[14:51] Yumiko
We want to send our fans a message.
[14:55] Asaka
Like what you did before?
[14:58] Asaka
Your agencies were pretty upset over that.
[15:00] Asaka
Maybe you just shouldn't?
[15:02] Chika
It'll be fine.
[15:04] Chika
This time it won't be a
livestream, just a video.
[15:06] Chika
We won't release it until we get
approval from our managers.
[15:11] Asaka
Well, if that's the case...
[15:16] Chika
I'm Yugure Yuhi.
[15:18] Yumiko
And I'm Utatane Yasumi.
[15:20] Yumiko
We're recording this video because we
wanted to reach out to our longtime fans.
[15:27] Yumiko
Recently, a former fan said something to us...
[15:30] Yumiko
That they liked who we were before,
[15:33] Yumiko
not the people we are now.
[15:35] Yumiko
When they see us now,
[15:37] Yumiko
it makes them sad because it feels
like our old selves are gone.
[15:40] Yumiko
We hadn't fully considered that.
[15:44] Chika
I think we hurt some
of our longest-standing fans.
[15:48] Chika
Even though you've been supporting us
for so long, we acted like that meant nothing.
[15:53] Both
We're very sorry for that.
[15:56] Chika
The other reason we're recording this
is because we have something else to tell you.
[16:04] Chika's Mom
You'll walk from here to the station,
going through the shopping arcade.
[16:08] Chika's Mom
If nobody talks to you, then you two
win, and I won't say another word.
[16:14] Chika's Mom
Otherwise, you're on hiatus
from voice acting until you graduate.
[16:19] Chika
Fine.
[16:24] Yumiko
They're probably here because of our video.
[16:28] Chika's Mom
I already know how this will end.
[16:31] Chika's Mom
Chika, if you try to...
[16:33] Chika
Let's go, already.
[16:34] Chika
We're wasting time.
[16:36] Chika's Mom
Then I'll follow and watch.
[16:40] Yumiko(m)
I know that asking you all to forgive us
is honestly more than we deserve.
[16:48] Yumiko(m)
Maybe we're just being self-indulgent,
[16:50] Yumiko(m)
but I really want to face everyone
who's supported us.
[16:55] Yumiko(m)
But now that it's time, it's super scary.
[16:59] Yumiko(m)
I don't want to go on hiatus.
[17:04] Yumiko
W-Watanabe?
[17:05] Chika
If you're worried, well,
just look at me right next to you.
[17:09] Chika
When you realize you're not alone,
things should get easier.
[17:16] (Flashback) Yumiko
When you realize you're not alone,
things should get easier.
[17:20] Chika
I'm reliable enough, aren't I?
[17:25] Yumiko
That's right.
[17:26] Yumiko
I've got Yugure Yuhi by my side.
[17:30] Yumiko
Thinking like that, I feel better.
[17:32] Chika
I really hate that side of you.
[17:50] Yumiko(m)
I thought this would be over right away,
[17:53] Yumiko(m)
but maybe these people are here to watch...
[17:58] Yumiko(m)
If that's the case,
[18:01] Yumiko(m)
maybe we can actually
make it out unscathed...
[18:10] FanA
E-Excuse me! Could I ask you
for some directions?
[18:13] FanH
What?
[18:14] FanH
I'm busy right now.
[18:15] FanA
I really need help!
[18:16] FanH
I've gotta do this right now.
[18:18] FanA
So do I!
[18:20] FanH
Are you trying to defend them?!
[18:22] FanH
They've been deceiving us!
[18:24] FanH
You're cool with that?
[18:25] FanH
No way, right?!
[18:26] FanH
So I'm going to speak my mind!
[18:27] FanH
If that means they have to quit,
they did it to themselves!
[18:31] FanA
I'm not okay with it!
[18:32] FanA
I really loved Yuhime!
[18:34] FanH
Then why are you trying to stop me?
[18:36] FanA
Because I still... I still love her!
[18:40] FanA
I want to keep supporting her!
[18:42] FanA
I don't want her to go away!
[18:45] FanA
Please, keep walking!
[18:47] FanG
Okay! If he won't say it, then I will!
[18:49] FanB
I-I won't let you through!
[18:52] FanB
P-Please don't!
[18:53] FanG
Get out of my way.
[18:55] FanG
The Yasu-Yasu I loved was fake!
[18:57] FanG
I'll never forgive her!
[19:00] FanB
Learning that Yasu-Yasu lied
to us made me sad, too.
[19:04] FanB
But I don't want her to stop working!
[19:07] FanB
Even when bad things happened at school,
[19:09] FanB
hearing Yasu-Yasu's voice
always cheered me up.
[19:12] FanB
She helped me through tough times!
[19:14] FanB
Please, just go!
[19:17] FanB
D-Don't stop.
[19:19] FanB
Whatever you do,
please don't stop voice acting!
[19:23] FanP
I'm just talking to myself!
[19:24] FanP
I don't like who you are right now,
[19:26] FanP
but I still don't want you
to quit voice acting!
[19:30] FanC
You're in Phantom, right?
[19:31] FanC
You can't quit now!
[19:33] FanC
We want to hear your voice again, Yugure Yuhi!
[19:35] FanC
I mean, I'm just talking to myself here!
[19:37] FanQ
I'm still waiting for more Plastic Girls!
[19:40] FanQ
It'll suck if Utatane Yasumi
isn't part of it!
[19:42] FanQ
But I'm just talking to myself, too!
[19:47] Yumiko(m)
We're almost at the station!
[19:49] Yumiko(m)
Just a little farther!
[19:54] Yumiko
This is as far as we go...
[19:56] Yumiko(m)
But at least we got to hear everyone out.
[20:00] Yumiko(m)
The last thing we got to hear was
our fans wishing for us to keep going.
[20:06] FanR
What the?
[20:07] Yumiko
Y-Yubisa—
[20:09] Chika

[20:10] Mekuru
I don't even know myself!
[20:12] Mekuru
I hate both your guts!
[20:15] Mekuru
But I love you, too!
[20:16] Mekuru
I want you to continue voice acting!
[20:18] FanR
What the hell?!
[20:23] Mekuru
Run!
[20:24] All
Run!
[20:24] Mekuru
Just keep going, you two!
[20:26] All
Go, go!
[20:27] All
Just a little more!
[20:32] Chika
I'm... I'm just talking to myself right now!
[20:36] Chika
But I'm going to keep voice acting!
[20:39] Chika
I'll never giving up again!
[20:42] Chika
I will always, always give my best!
[20:44] Chika
And it's all because of you!
[20:47] Yumiko
I'm just talking to myself, too.
[20:50] Yumiko
But I'm also going to continue
voice acting forever!
[20:53] Yumiko
I'll never quit!
[20:55] Yumiko
Thank you!
[20:56] Yumiko
Everyone, thank you so much!
[22:51] Chika
