The well-known festival comic "Recently, my sister is a little weird" has been in turmoil since it was launched in January this year, and due to various large-scale expressions in the animation, it was once listed as a candidate for banning by relevant parties. Previously, it was announced that a live-action film version of this work would be made, and the relevant PV has been announced. However, it seems that this movie version has not been fully licensed by the original author, Matsuzawa まり. Recently, the author himself published a series of tweets on Twitter to protest against the adultization of the film version.
The author's full text is as follows:
"Now there are editions, events, store collaborations, and so on under the name of "Sister Monster". But no one has ever contacted me at all. And including making this work serialized in a juvenile publication into a movie or something, I didn't realize that it was actually a work that was inappropriate for children until the film was completed. There is simply nothing to say, it is too much.
The original author's thoughts may not matter at all to evaluating a work, or even nonsense, but this work is something that I have spent years working on. Right now, I feel like I'm having a lot of thoughts.
Ladies and gentlemen who make zuò films. Ladies and gentlemen of the film.
I'm sure everyone would have thought that this time the film was made with my full consent, but that's not the case. Of course, please rest assured, I'm not holding you accountable, and I'm going to take immediate action on the issue of licensing, and I'm going to communicate directly with the publishers. Although I have complained here, I also believe that this film will definitely be an interesting work.
But ah, some of the pictures in the movie are too inappropriate for a work serialized in juvenile publications? I've tried to do something about it, but unfortunately they still show it in the movie without reservation.
As early as the stage of plot planning of the movie, I didn't expect it to become such an adult-oriented work, which was broken by my Too young, too simple Tucson, but didn't the relevant parties discuss or explain it to me before the official shooting? Especially now that it is impossible to remake, it is even more uncomfortable.
After the planning phase, almost no one contacted me. So I re-read the contract and found that it was hard to understand that the words "Izuku Publishing, confirmation matters, etc. are in charge of the company." Ah, it turns out that the relevant parties wrote this out of this consideration...... Now I know the importance of this statement.
I'm thinking about things that have nothing to do with the contract, that is, about politeness. Shouldn't there be trust between people? That's what I think about this event. ”
Judging from this incident, Matsuzawa's mood is understandable, but if the parties concerned have not violated the terms of the contract, I am afraid that the author himself will not be able to get a satisfactory answer. For authors, how to protect their legitimate rights and interests is very important.
Minori Chihara will sing the theme song of "RAILWARS!"
The popular light novel "RAILWARS!-Japan National Railways Public Security Force-" has been confirmed to be broadcast on TV in July this year. Previously, it was officially announced that singer-songwriter ZAQ would sing ED songs for this work. Recently, the singers of the theme song of the work have also been decided: the well-known voice actor > singer Minori Chihara will sing for the animation, and the title of the theme song is "The Wind Blows the Face" ("向かい風に打たれながら").
In 2006, Minori Chihara was affectionately known as the "Great Moe God" for his role as Yuki Nagato in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". In recent years, although her achievements in voice acting are not outstanding, she has excellent singing skills and has sung songs for many popular animations including "The Other Side of the Realm" and "Algontia of the Green Star", which has also attracted more and more attention from fans. Since the song has been announced in advance at her concert, according to the audience's Twitter comments, it will be a "very handsome song" and it is worth looking forward to.
In addition, the person who wrote the lyrics for this song is Agui Hatata, and I believe everyone is also familiar with this name, right? The 47-year-old has written and composed many anime theme songs, including "Godknows..." ("The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya") and "Fantasticfuture" ("The Perverted Prince and the Unsmiling Cat" theme song) and other popular songs. She and musician Kamizen Xiao are also well-known "golden combinations".
Daisuke Kikuta, who is in charge of composing and arranging the music, has been the music producer of Minori Chihara since 2007, and it can be said that this time "The Wind Blows the Face" was also tailored for the god of Moe. In addition, in recent years, he has also been in charge of music by Minami Kuribayashi and others.

Voice actor Yurika Ochiai officially announced the suspension of voice actor work
Yurika Ochiai, who has disappeared from the audience's sight since '08 (renamed in '09: Yurina Hase), published a blog post on her blog at the end of last year, explaining her thoughts that she is not suitable to be a voice actor. And just yesterday, she completely announced in her blog that she has ended her job as a voice actress and hopes to achieve another dream. The following is a translation of the blog post:
【Notice☆】
I think I'm almost getting noticed by everyone, so let's make an official announcement on my blog this time. I, Yurina Hase, have stopped working as a voice actor on April 30, 2014. But don't get me wrong, I'll continue to be in charge of some of the follow-up voice actor work. It seems that many people in the industry believe in the rumors on the Internet, and occasionally people ask me if I will be filled by someone else in the future, which scares me (laughs). Even for the sake of the fans, I don't think that's appropriate. The reason for the suspension can be said to be that I have learned about my own shortcomings, and I don't want this situation to happen again. My dreams need to be pursued wholeheartedly, and now I finally understand it. Too late!
In fact, I've taken my career as a voice actor seriously, and I've achieved some results. But in the end, it didn't work to get to the next level. I think maybe my own consciousness is not enough. I often ask myself, "There are so many people who want to be voice actors, but do I want to do it?" "All in all, the fault is my own halfway. And I'm not young anymore, and occasionally when I think about how many years I can live, I find that I still have a dream that I definitely want to achieve! So please forgive me for giving up my job as a voice actor.
The time of human life is limited. The experience I gained as a voice actor can be said to support me now. I hope to use this experience to continue to work hard in my future life. I feel very grateful to all my friends who have been able to support me until now. If... If you can continue to support me, let's meet on another stage! That was the second big stage of my life.
Then, I have something to say to my friends who are now chasing their dreams. Believe in yourself. I've been a small, introverted, and not very good at interpersonal communication since I was a kid, but even then I became a voice actor. And my acting skills are not very good. The key is whether you can always believe in yourself and whether you can persevere in your efforts... I participated in at least 100 auditions before becoming a voice actor and failed, but I didn't give up and ended up being one of the 5 people who stood out out from 5,000. At that time, it was a newcomer training audition meeting. "People like you can't be a voice actor!" I've heard this count countless times. But I succeeded anyway. It's not what others think, it's whether you believe in yourself.
During my various experiences, I slowly realized that my dreams began to change and I moved towards other worlds. It's a step forward, but it's actually started three years ago (laughs). But I've taken both very seriously so far. Maybe it's because I've been stubborn since I was a child, and I didn't think about giving up my dreams at all. Although my goals in life have changed, I haven't really thought about "what will happen if I lose this job?" Something like that. I'm sorry, it's too thick.
Now my dream is still quietly sleeping in my heart. I guess there will be all kinds of things that will happen in the future, such as being ridiculed and despised by others. But I'm sure I'll make it happen! Please believe in yourself in your own way! о(ж>▽▽
