I'm surrounded by women.

When it comes to their attitude towards Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, the Katori sisters are surprisingly consistent. They would never go there, even though their family is one of the investors of Tsukinomori Girls' Academy.

Compared with Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, Katori Ryuka suddenly felt that the junior high school department of Uegaoka Girls' Academy was also quite good. Although there was only one day off a week, Sunday, at least there was no need to say "Greetings" and learn various etiquette of young ladies all day long.

……

Sunday morning.

Katori Gensakura woke up and drowsily sat up in bed, only to find out that she had buttoned several of her pajamas incorrectly again!

Katori Gensakura took off her pajamas without touching the buttons, and fell into deep thought as she looked at the pajamas with the buttons buttoned incorrectly.

Why is this happening?

Why did I button my pajamas wrong again?

Katori Gensakura's brain was working rapidly, and she couldn't understand why every time she woke up, there were always a few buttons on her pajamas that were buttoned wrong?

Could it be that after being hit by the truck for the second time, I developed sleepwalking?

The sleepwalking behavior is to sit up late at night every day, unbutton and then button up the pajamas. Because the buttons are buttoned with eyes closed, the buttons are buttoned in the wrong place.

The more Katori Genzakura thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Since a problem had arisen, she had to find a way to solve it first.

So, after pondering her pajamas for a few minutes, Katori Gensakura suddenly had an idea and came up with a super perfect solution!

——I won’t wear pajamas when I sleep from now on!

Chapter 34 Nijiya and Yamada Ryo are transferring to Haneda? !

After breakfast, Katori Genzakura did not waste any time, but went directly to the station and took the train to Shimokitazawa.

Although because of a famous and vigorous science film in Japan, many people can't help but smile mysteriously when they hear the name Shimokitazawa.

But in reality, Shimokitazawa is one of the most popular cities to live in.

Especially since today is Sunday, many people will take advantage of the holiday to go shopping in Shimokitazawa, try popular restaurants that are very popular online, or make a pilgrimage to the holy sites in Shimokitazawa.

After all, there are many spots in Shimokitazawa where you can go on a pilgrimage.

Katori Genzakura was playing with her mobile phone with her head down, and happened to hear a young couple not far away discussing Shimokitazawa.

"Hey, are we going to Shimokitazawa today? I've never been there before."

"I've never been there either, so I asked a friend to recommend some good places. He recommended a restaurant that looked very high-end. They said the curry rice and pasta in this restaurant were delicious, and they also offered a big eater challenge. If you finish the meal, you get a reward, and if you don't, you get a penalty."

"But didn't we just have curry rice yesterday? Do you still want some?"

"I think so, I really want to."

puff……

When Katori Genzakura heard the discussion of the young couple not far away, she found it difficult to control the smile in her heart. She pursed her lips tightly to barely prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Soon, the train entered Shimokitazawa Station.

Katori Genzakura stood up, got off the bus and left the station, then went to the recording studio according to the address that Bunkan Mihui had sent her earlier.

Before entering the recording studio, Katori Genzakura glanced at the time on her mobile phone, which was exactly half past nine.

There is still half an hour until the agreed time of ten o'clock in the morning.

Katori Genzakura pushed the door open and walked in, wanting to say hello to the staff in the recording studio first.

After entering, I found that there were not many people in the recording studio. I only saw a woman with long golden hair sitting on a chair not far away, who seemed to be looking through some information.

Looking at the recording studio at this moment, which seemed to be just herself and the blonde woman, Katori Gensakura was stunned, thinking she had found the wrong place.

Even if there's still half an hour before the official start, there shouldn't be so few people in the recording studio, right?

"Hello, is this the recording studio of STARRY Studio? I'm Gen Sakura Katori, who is here today to participate in the dubbing of "It Will Be You." Gen Sakura Katori greeted politely.

At the same time, looking at the back of the blonde woman, Katori Genying always felt a little familiar.

Especially the triangular magnetic levitation ahoge, which reminded Katori Gensakura of her mother Hongxia, whom she loved very much in her previous life.

Eh wait...

Long blond hair, triangular levitating alopecia, a woman's back that gives off a very cool vibe, the studio's name is STARRY, these elements combined, could it be...

After hearing Katori Genzakura's voice, the woman turned around, and after seeing the blonde woman's face clearly, Katori Genzakura knew that she was right.

"Hello, I'm the owner of STARRY Studio, Ichichi Hoshige, and also the manager of Live House STARRY. This is my first interview, so please be kind."

Ijichi Xingge walked over. Although there was not much expression on her face, she still politely handed over a business card.

"Please, please give me your guidance." Katori Genzakura took the business card, still immersed in shock.

It was also at this time that she remembered the live house opened by Ijichi Hoshika in Shimokitazawa, and the name of the store was STARRY!

No wonder I felt strangely familiar when I saw the name of this studio, STARRY, yesterday.

It turns out they have the same boss!

What makes Katori Gensakura even more curious is that how come Ijichi Hoshika, who ran a live house very successfully in "Lonely Rock", opened another studio to provide recording studios for voice actor companies?

Is it the butterfly effect caused by myself?

Just like Kita Ikuyo wanted to become a voice actor after hearing her own audition submission.

"Meihui has been here just now. She is now buying snacks and drinks at the convenience store downstairs. She should be back soon."

After Ijichi Seika finished speaking, she began to introduce Katori Genzakura:

"The door at the front opens to the lounge. Voice actors usually take a break in there after completing a stage of work.

The place where I was sitting just now was the preparation area. To the right of the preparation area is the recording area that you will use later. The equipment has been set up, and after ten o'clock, you can officially start dubbing.

I heard that you and the other two voice actors are all new voice actors participating in anime dubbing for the first time? Good luck!

"Thank you for your encouragement. However, you just mentioned the other two. Are there three voice actors dubbing "It Will Be You" today?"

After expressing her gratitude, Katori Genzakura asked in confusion.

Today is the first time that Ikuyo Kita and I are doing dubbing together, and it's also the first time that we are doing yuri work. In addition, there are still many voice actors for the characters in "It Will Be You" that have not been decided, so today it should be just Ikuyo Kita and I doing the dubbing.

So who is this sudden voice actor, and which character is he responsible for dubbing?

"Yes, including you, there are three of us.

I don’t have the voice actor list right now, so I can’t tell you who the other two voice actors are?

But they should be here soon, and we can meet and get to know each other then.

There are still more than 20 minutes until the dubbing starts. Do you want to go to the lounge to rest for a while? "

"Row……"

Although I am very curious about which other voice actors will be coming today besides myself and Kita Ikuyo?

But the dubbing work is about to begin, and Katori Gensakura decides to follow her dubbing preparation habits from her previous life and meditate for ten minutes before starting.

Katori Genzakura walked into the lounge, sat on the sofa, closed her eyes and began to meditate. Then Bunkan Mihui, who had just gone out to buy something, also came back.

"Huh... I just found some hot meat buns at that convenience store for really cheap, so I bought a few. Xingge, do you want one?"

"No, I had a full breakfast. A voice actress has already arrived, her name is Katori Genzakura."

"Wow, Katori-sensei is here early. I'll go say hello."

"Don't go say hello to her yet. I just took a look and she was sitting on the sofa in the lounge meditating.

It's really skillful to use meditation to get yourself into work state.

Whether it was the way she greeted people after entering, the ease and grace with which she spoke to them, or the way she adjusted herself, there was no trace of nervousness on her face, and she didn't look like a new voice actor about to debut at all."

"Haha, you think so too. Actually, as early as the first time I met Katori-sensei, I felt that she didn't look like a rookie voice actor at all.

Even the most outgoing new voice actors will feel a little nervous when they meet their agent for the first time.

But Katori-sensei didn't. When she talked about her work, she was so mature and confident that I even had the illusion that she was older than me."

"Are you sure you got her age right?"

"No, I've checked Katori-sensei's information several times. She's 16 years old and will be a freshman in high school when school starts in a few days."

"Which high school does she attend? Why does it start so late?"

"It seems to be Hanegaoka Girls' College."

"Hydochaka?!" Upon hearing the name of the school, Ichichi Hoshige couldn't help but open her eyes wide, then said with a hint of surprise, "That's quite a coincidence."

"What's wrong?" asked Bunkan Meihui in confusion.

"Actually, Hongxia and her friend Yamada Ryo are considering transferring schools recently."

"Transferring? Aren't they both attending Shimokitazawa High School? And Shimokitazawa High School has only been open for less than a month."

"Yes, it's just that Shimokitazawa High School has added a new rule to its school regulations starting this year, which prohibits students from forming bands.

As you know, my sister has always dreamed of forming a band, but the band hasn't even started yet because the school doesn't allow bands to be formed.

As an older sister, I can't bear to see my sister's lost expression, so these days I have been asking people which high schools allow or encourage students to form bands?

Then the lead singer who used to be in the same band with me and is now married and a full-time housewife told me that Haneda Girls' College in Tokyo encourages students to form bands. It is said that almost every student in Haneda High School has joined a band.

So I have been busy with the transfer process recently. Once it is completed, Hongxia and Yamada Ryo will transfer to Hanegaoka Girls' College."

As Yidizhi Xingge spoke, he picked up a meat bun and took a bite.

Chapter 35 Wakaba Mu's Gift

"I see. You really are a good sister who cares about your sister."

After listening to this, Bunkan Meihui said with great emotion, and then added a sentence with a sarcasm:

"Huh? Didn't you say you don't want to eat meat buns?"

"I suddenly want to eat again." Yidizhi Xingge said righteously.

"You just wanted to eat it, right?!" complained the civil servant Meihui.

Ichichi Xingge pretended not to hear and continued eating the meat bun, then changed the subject and asked:

"I just looked at the information for 'It Will Always Be You' and there's only a 13-episode script. Are they not planning on animating it to the end? The manga was clearly finished last year."

“Yes, although Kadokawa Shoten attaches great importance to this work, due to financial considerations, they decided to make 13 episodes first to see how popular it is.

If it's popular, we'll wait until the first season is finished and then release a theatrical compilation.

Once the peripherals and BDs have sold out, we'll continue with the second season. If all goes well, we might even be able to turn all the manga into anime."

Mihui Bunkan explained that this process is also a relatively safe animation production process.

After all, the Japanese animation industry today is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

In the past, they would often launch a large-scale production involving painting, music, dubbing, and scripts, and they would burn through mountains of funds for just one episode.

Now, everyone in the animation industry has become more cautious. Even if there is sufficient funding, they will try to save money and use it wisely, for fear of the embarrassing situation of running out of funds before the work is completed.

"In other words, if the popularity of the first season is not high enough, there will be no hope for the second season, right?" Ijichi Xingge asked incisively.

"That's about it..."

"Katori Gensakura and the other two are all new voice actors. If the second season of "It Will Always Be You" doesn't get announced right after the first season ends, they'll have to quickly find an anime that can be released soon. After all, after the first series ends, they need a second work to consolidate their fan base."

“I did look for it, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica was the second anime I decided to watch.

I plan to wait for the first episode of "It Will Be You" to air. As soon as I see a lot of good reviews, I will immediately roll on the ground in front of my parents and ask them to help me get the dubbing spots for Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi.

By the way, the voice actors I'm responsible for now are not just Katori Genzakura and Kita Ikuyo, but also Wakaba Mutsu. I'll have to get her a voiceover spot when the time comes, and see which role she wants to voice, right?"

"Can you please stop justifying your actions of rolling on the ground, crying, and making a fuss in front of Mom and Dad? You're already in your twenties...

And I’m talking about anime works that can be released as soon as possible. Do you know what it means to be released as soon as possible?

Puella Magi Madoka Magica only has a project plan and character design sketches right now, and maybe even the script outline hasn't been finalized yet. Who knows when SHAFT will be able to start dubbing Puella Magi Madoka Magica?

As the owner of STARRY Studio, Ijichi Seika was aware of SHAFT's recent plans for a magical girl anime. After learning her good friend Bunkan Mie was interested in the project, she inquired about it, but all the information regarding Puella Magi Madoka Magica was vague and confusing.

Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities when this kind of foggy situation occurs.

Either SHAFT has kept this project strictly confidential internally, because if it were leaked, it would cause spoilers and lead to serious consequences.

Or maybe SHAFT hasn't figured out how to produce this project yet, and it could be scrapped at any time.
