This is Makoto Kikuchi.
By chance, I was scouted by Ihara Office's Mr Oshima,
and jumped to the voice world.
Even though I'm not knowledgeable nor experienced, I challenge the days to be a voice actress.
There are also others who were hired in the same agency.
Asami, Ren, Konatsu, Ryoko.
One, two!
All five of us started living together.
My job using my voice started to become fun when living with them.
Wow! So cool!
Even though sometimes it's hard,
all of us are aiming to be professional voice actress that everyday we're doing our best!
Nice run!
Ren! Ren! Oh, Ren!
Ren! Ren!
Woohoo!
You're so cute, Rei! Yay!
You danced both opening and ending songs!
Besides that, you danced everything of the original version alone.
Wow!
Do you understand how much I love PreCure now?
Yes, I understand it now.
There's no way I would not become popular.
You will!
Isn't it weirder that I wouldn't become a PreCure voice actress?
It is.
I'm a fan of SuiPuri as a whole.
I have a question! A question!
Go ahead.
SuiPuri?
You don't know?
What? It's the abbreviation of "Suite PreCure"!
It's PreCure's eighth series and its sixth generation.
The "Suite" that is used in the title is from the musical term "musical suite".
The main themes are music and friendship...
Ah! Ah! We get it.
I'm sure it's alright. I've memorized all the lines in SuiPuri.
But even if you've memorized them, you won't get work.
It's been decided I'll be a regular cast.
What?! Really?!
Wow!
Really?
What kind of character?
Well, even though it's not a big role, there's no big or small role there anyway.
Now, I act towards my goal frantically.
Really? Wow.
Amazing. You're really a genius. Really? Wow.
Ah, welcome back.
Welcome home.
Welcome back.
What is it?
It's nothing.
If things don't get decided here, I'll cast away being a woman!
What is that?
[ Voice Girl! ]
"Sakura's packed lunch looks delicious!"
"Did you make that yourself?"
"Yeah. Huh? Did you also made one yourself, Kana?"
"Whoa. What's that? Your packed lunch is full of pumpkins!"
"I heard that pumpkins are really good for the health."
"It has lots of Vitamin E."
"There you go again. Isn't it just another superstition?"
"It's probably just written from your usual magazine."
"Even your horoscope last time should've been perfect but..."
Ms Inaba.
Yes?
Um, Kana's line at page 10 cut 28
is too short. Please only do that line again one more time.
Okay.
"I heard that pumpkins are really good for the health."
Ms Inaba.
Huh? Ms Inaba.
Could you please not act?
Okay.
One more time then.
"I heard that pumpkins are really good for the health."
Again.
"I heard that pumpkins are really good..."
Again.
"I heard that pumpkins are really good."
Ah.... Okay, it's good. Thank you very much.
Okay.
Use the first take in the main line.
Yes. Use the first take in the main line.
First take?
Her speech doesn't change at all.
Okay.
Use the first take.
Got it, the first take. Understood.
Yeah. Got it, the first take. Understood.
Excuse me!
Huh?
Ah yes. What is it?
Please tell me in detail what was wrong.
Do you like anime?
Yes. I like them more than anyone!
Huh?
You got a good voice.
Ah, okay. Thank you very much.
You know, she's someone selected by Ihara's Mr Oshima along with Asami Kuriyama.
Wow, that's amazing.
Isn't it? She's someone we can expect good things, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
But she's like that.
Ah... You'll really wonder, huh?
This series won't have monsters nor magical girls after all.
But there are many works like that.
Well, you won't think you would like to work with her.
That's really true.
Anyway, it's fine if she didn't show up starting next week.
No! Even if she's like that, she's more or less a regular cast.
Huh? Then at least start acting like a human.
Don't react like that!
But what you're saying is something basic.
But it really is basic.
Well, we're thinking the same.
Jeez, I'm really in a bind.
Asami...
Makoto.
What is it?
I'm sorry but I'm going to complain a bit.
Hm?
What is with that sound director?!
Ah, yeah... Huh?
Say it directly if something is wrong! What is with "You got a good voice."?
Don't just vaguely compliment me that way!
Act like a human? Huh?
Ren... Act like a human? Huh?
"Please don't act". Huh? Huh? Then why did I come here for? Ren...
"Please don't act". Huh? Huh? Then why did I come here for?
But I came there to act!
Ren... But I came there to act!
I have to act but don't act. What the hell is that?
Ren... I have to act but don't act. What the hell is that?
Is this philosophy? Nietzche? Is he Nietzche?! Ren...
Is this philosophy? Nietzche? Is he Nietzche?!
Ren, calm down. Is this philosophy? Nietzche? Is he Nietzche?!
But "I can't do it" is something a voice actress must not absolutely say.
I know as much as what a voice actress must do, you know.
Dammit. I'll be sure to get this over!
That's what you should do. Be sure to get this over.
Of course I will.
Just what does he mean by playing a human?
Good morning, Ma'am.
'Morning.
Huh? You have a recording?
Yes. Though I only got a small role.
Oh! Great going!
How about you? Do you have a proper job?
Ah, well, I have a fair amount of them.
Really? Great going!
Oh, thanks.
Ah...
Hm? What's wrong?
Ah, it's nothing...
What is it?
Um, how should you act a human?
Hmmm...
I guess what I do is observe people.
Huh? What is that?
I would listen to people who are talking to each other while I'm riding the train.
A weirdo?
No.
I would observe what kind of facial expressions real people make
and what they're thinking while they're talking.
Also...
Thank you for waiting.
Ah, coming.
Um... Ah...
Ah, please go.
Ah, sorry.
Observe people, huh?
Okay...
Why am I here?
I thought that in order to act a human, you should do some observing of people.
Well...
Lots of different kinds of people pass by here, so I think you'll be able to observe people.
Just watch out.
Makoto, help out since you came home.
Got it. Okay, I'm off.
Okay.
Welcome! Mandarin oranges are just 398 yen each!
Ah, welcome back.
Ah, welcome back! Are you going home from school?
Yes.
Hey, how about eating some fruits while walking home?
No, thanks...
You can make these bananas to chocolate bananas or milk bananas.
Ah, it's also delicious if you bake them in a toaster.
Don't you want to eat them?
No, thanks...
What? But...
Then how about this...
I am recommending broccolis for today!
How about you get one?
Ah, mister. Why don't you buy some vegetables?
No, thank you...
Why don't you just take a look?
No, thank you...
Mister.
Ah, no thank you...
Ah...
We have your favorite mandarine oranges!
How about you get one?
You can also have a taste. Go ahead.
Ren, do you understand something somehow?
Yeah.
There are many ways of saying "No, thank you".
True!
Thank you very much. Goodbye.
She doesn't change.
Ah, what should I do? Hmm...
I wonder why...
I really don't understand it at all.
It's useless whatever you do.
Hey, Asami...
It's impossible for someone like you who doesn't know anything.
Looks like Ms Inaba is having a hard time in her current role.
I think it's better if someone can give her an advice...
She doesn't need it.
Well... But...
There's no point if she can't find the solution herself.
Useless, huh?
Observe people...
What?
You have to observe people!
Hm?
Yeah!
Try doing it!
Hey, mister!
Please buy... some banana...
Ren!
No! You're being too shy!
But it's a wonder you can do something like this.
You just have to think you're acting.
Like a barker in a walla.
Try to make ad-libs.
Okay.
Welcome!
Welcome! Ma'am, what do you plan on making today?
What don't you buy something that will make you beautiful?
Then, I'll buy next time I pass by.
Good!
Okay.
Welcome!
Ma'am, why don't you buy a pumpkin?
It has lots of Vitamin E that it's good for your health.
You somehow have a strange voice.
What?
"Why don't you buy a pumpkin?"
"It has lots of Vitamin E that it's good for your health."
Oh no, I'm really not good at all. "It has lots of Vitamin E that it's good for your health."
Oh no, I'm really not good at all.
You got a good voice.
Could you please not act?
So he told that my voice is nice when I said it normally.
Normal voice?
Yeah, something I said when I was not acting.
I was told that I should do something like that when acting and anime.
I have to act in plays.
This series won't have monsters nor magical girls after all.
"I heard that pumpkins are really good for the health."
Please act like a human.
This is it...
So observing people after all is...
It's not only about observing strangers. It is also observing your own self!
Yeah.
"No, it's nothing."
"I'm sorry everyone."
"I heard that pumpkins are really good for the health."
A! I!
I~ U~ A~ I~ U~
"Hey, tell me more about pumpkins."
21…
25…
"I didn't know. So you did something like that."
"To be honest, I'm a little impressed."
"Hey, tell me more about pumpkins."
If things don't get decided here, I'll cast away being a woman!
Ren hasn't come home yet.
I'm not worried about her.
Hm?
Hey, you actually gave her a hint, right?
I didn't notice it at all.
It's impossible for someone like you who doesn't know anything.
I get more passionate if I have rivals.
It was bad. I said things that are not good again.
No way...
But...
Thank you very much!
Goodbye.
Ms Inaba.
Yes?
Um...
See you again next week.
Yes! I'll do my best again next week!
Okay. Bye.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Alright! The stew that Ryoko made is waiting for us.
Oh! I'm already hungry.
Aren't you? Let's go and eat.
It is said that only one out of a thousand can become a professional voice actor.
To become one of them, I think you only need one thing.
That is to build your small efforts one by one.
That's what I think one needs.
The show is about to end now.
This was "Haruka Tomatsu's Waiting Sound". Listen again next week.
