LOVE VOICE

Recently, there have been two incidents in the seiyuu world that have caused everyone's topic.

One is that the super-popular idol voice actor Yusuke Ono announced that he will temporarily stop his activities as a voice actor after the end of his current job and will take a break.As for when to rest, there is no mention at all.

This is like a bomb dropped among young female fans. The office's mailbox, website, Ono's personal homepage, etc. receive a large number of letters every day, trying to keep Ono who intends to quit.

The other one was not so conspicuous compared with Ono's news.Veteran voice actor Takikawa Yusuke lost his voice due to excessive fatigue of the vocal cords and had to temporarily recuperate. Most of the people who expressed regret for this were those who had followed Takikawa as fans from the beginning.There are also sayings on the website, "After Kondo was admitted to the hospital, Takikawa also lost his voice. I have to say that the decision to change the voice actor in the theatrical version of "Knights of Wings" is very predictable. It is time for the voice actor industry to update." .

Few people thought of whether the two events were related.

The office was flustered for a while because of Takikawa's sudden loss of voice.The number of times Imai apologized to people recently has also increased.

"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry. Mr. Takikawa also apologizes for this. I really caused you trouble." Imai kept bowing while talking on the phone.

"Ah, if possible, please replace it with other voice actors from our agency...Yes, I have been under your care all along..."

After finally filling the gap caused by Takigawa's departure, Imai was already so tired that he slumped on his seat.

"It's really hard work...Takigawa is really too, what kind of seiyuu can't protect the vocal cords... In the end, we have to clean up the mess." The colleagues around him complained in a low voice.People who usually call him "Mr. Takikawa" honestly, now only call him by Takikawa's surname, without showing any respect.

"Shut up! Mr. Takikawa didn't even think about it himself. It's rare to see someone as serious and dedicated as him! And the reason for his loss of voice is still unknown. Even if it recovers someday, it's possible. You'd better say a few words, Do your own thing first." Imai reprimanded his colleagues who entered the office two months later than him dissatisfied.

The other party looked dissatisfied, but did not continue.

In the office, I often heard the saying "Takigawa can't be used", which made Imai feel very unhappy.Most of the people who would say this were people who were senior than him, so even if they wanted to reprimand the other party, they couldn't open their mouths.

It seems that there are not many people in the whole office who are really worried about Takikawa.

"There are too many people like Takikawa who disappear from the seiyuu industry every year. There is nothing to be surprised about. Even if Takikawa recovers, it will be very difficult to make a comeback in this industry. After all, not everyone can be like Aoki Hideo has been successful all the way. But it's a pity... Takikawa's work seems to have just improved..."

When expressing dissatisfaction with the senior with whom he is more familiar, the other party replied like this.

Is everyone too cold-blooded, or have you not adapted to this industry yet?Imai doesn't want to delve into it, but the matter of caring for Takikawa comes from the heart, and it will never change.

"I believe that Mr. Takikawa will recover, so don't worry Mr. Takikawa. I have already communicated with the producer. Once Mr. Takikawa's vocal cords are all right, there will still be a lot of work. Please Mr. Takikawa Take care of your body and strive for a speedy recovery."

Imai on the phone still maintained his politeness, and Takikawa could even imagine his strict appearance.

I see, thank you.

Unable to vibrate his vocal cords, Takigawa could only express his gratitude through his breath.

After finishing the call, Takigawa retracted his body into the sofa, feeling flustered from idleness.

After Ono left that day, Takikawa realized that he could not speak out.No matter how hard you try, your vocal cords just won't vibrate.

Even the most comprehensive examination revealed nothing physically wrong.In other words, with the vocal cords intact, Takikawa lost his voice.

Whether it is caused by the spirit is still unclear. In short, such a Takikawa will definitely not be able to continue his work as a seiyuu.

In fact, I have already decided not to be a voice actor anymore, even if I don't have a voice, it doesn't matter.I believe that there will be jobs that can be done without talking.

Takikawa comforted himself.But the emptiness in his chest could not be filled by such unrealistic comfort.

Why didn't I realize that I liked this job so much?

When you can still use your own voice to perform different roles, everything seems to be taken for granted.

Kondo, who loves this industry more than himself and works hard with all his enthusiasm, should feel more pain than himself.

Takikawa could finally understand Kondo's mood.

My wife spends more time away from home.In order to support the lives of two people, the wife's workload is much greater than before.She is fulfilling the responsibilities of two people with one body.

In front of such a wife, he could only show his incompetence more and more.

Maybe going to the hospital is a better option.Just choose the hospital where Kondo works, so that we can see him every day and be each other's companions.

Don't even think about it, my wife will definitely object.She will definitely say something like "don't worry about anything, just leave it to me".

Giving up on the idea of ​​going to the hospital, Takikawa continued to lie on the sofa bored, feeling that the passage of time was slower than ever.
