On a summer evening, the most beautiful scene that Yu Murakami has ever seen in his life is on the banks of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto.

I still remember it very well.

He stood on the shore with the sound of the stream washing over the pebbles, and held a camera in his hand to take pictures of the girls of Sakuraso, with the summer dusk in the background.

On Tuesday, July 21, the sunset hangs like an oil painting in the sky.

Yu Murakami stood by the window of the studio, looking out at the dusk in Tokyo in the distance, quietly waiting for the visitors.

"Excuse me."

"Please advise."

Ai Nakano and Miss Sakura greeted the director and other staff members and walked into the studio.

"Can you actually see outside?" Miss Sakura threw her bag on the chair, walked over to Yu Murakami, and looked out the window: "Damn, why is your guy using such a good studio?" I usually use it like a basement! ”

Yu Murakami remembered the time when he was a guest on the radio of "April", and that studio was indeed not much different from the basement.

In particular, the black and white keys of the piano used for the decoration are like the black and white gauze of the mourning hall.

Today is the third time he has hosted the broadcast of "Gem Live", and Ai Nakano and Miss Sakura were invited as guests as diamond sisters in the anime.

"Murakami-kun, I bought some food with Suzune on the way, do you want it?" Ai Nakano asked.

"No, you don't." Yu Murakami shook his head, "Go back to dinner after recording early." ”

"Hmm." Ai Nakano took half of the snacks and put them back in her bag.

The two who just arrived looked at the script for a while and became familiar with the process.

"Good evening everyone, this is the broadcast of "Jewel Country" - "Yu Murakami is Calling~", I am Yu Murakami, the voice actor of Mr. Kongo."

"Every time this show invites the "gems" of "Gem Country" to be guests. ”

"Today is no exception, please ......"

Murakami hasn't finished talking yet.

"Hi~, good evening, everyone! I'm Roundgrain Diamond Suzune Sakura~"

Ai Nakano couldn't help but smile, "Good evening everyone, I'm Ai Diamond Nakano, and it's a pleasure to be a guest." ”

"As you can hear, these are the two of you today. Now let's move on to the first part – reading letters from the audience. Letter from San-san......"

"Wait!" Miss Sakura pointed to the script and interrupted the host again very stiffly: "The script clearly says [Before reading the letter, talk freely for three minutes], you follow the process for me!" ”

"Trouble." Yu Murakami whispered.

Ai Nakano crossed her hands on the table and lowered her head and laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Murakami perked up.

In the first two times, no one dared to interrupt his guests.

"Is he the host, or are we the hosts? The program team can't be mistaken, right? Give us less money? Miss Sakura asked Ai Nakano in a very confused tone.

Ai Nakano stepped away from the microphone and laughed.

Miss Sakura wore black long sleeves, and Aii Nakano was white with long sleeves, so Yu Murakami said:

"The two of you look good today."

"Murakami-san, you're looking good today." Miss Sakura said delicately.

"Hmm."

"Hey! Don't look at the watch! What does it mean to say that we are dressed well, but we keep our heads down and keep looking at the time! ”

"Hahaha~~" Ai Nakano is still included in the laughter even if she is far away from the microphone.

There was still a minute and a half left before three minutes, and Murakami thought about it, and it took ten seconds before he spoke:

"One black and one white, like a couple."

"It's over?"

"Hmm."

"Murakami-kun, Murakami-kun," Ai Nakano reminded softly with a smile, "Say a little more, say a little more." ”

"So, where did you buy it?"

"What? Do you want to buy the same style? It's feminine, perverted. Sakura-sama smiled extremely happily, "Big pervert! ”

"Three minutes to come. Entering the letter reading link, the first thing is ......"

"Hahaha!"

"...... letter from [Kazuki's Catsuke] San--It's a familiar old friend-[Yoyo, Nakano-san, Sakura-san, hello]"

Nakano, Sakura: "Hello~"

[Yoyo and the two guests have been working together almost all the time, and they also share a house. I saw the Saturday tour of the pear yarn sauce ......]"

"Risa?" Ai Nakano tilted her head in confusion, and her little face poked out from behind the microphone to look at Yu Murakami.

"Risa-chan?!" Miss Sakura tilted her face and looked down at someone from above the microphone.

The letter reads.

【...... When I saw the Saturday travel photos posted by Risa-chan, I realized that the voice actors have a good relationship in private and often hang out together. I would like to ask, what do you like to do when you are not working? Who are you going out with? 】”

Miss Sakura said, "There are voice actors and voice actors who have a good relationship, but in my impression, there are not so many. ”

Ai Nakano nodded: "Well, although everyone gets along very well, because of the schedule and work, they are very busy, and the relationship is not necessarily very good." ”

Yu Murakami: "Hmm. Let's move on to the next ......"

"Hey!"

"Murakami-kun~Murakami-kun~ You haven't answered {Catsuke}-san's question yet."

"Hmm... I don't really want to answer questions today. ”

"It's work, Murakami-kun." Ai Nakano said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Yu Murakami sighed, "What do you like to do when you're not working?" 】... Listen to the radio, Nakano's, Sakura's. ”

"Don't you listen to the dog?" Ai Nakano asked with a smile.

"I haven't heard much of it."

"What about the song?"

"No, there isn't. The songs sung by Dongshan are really average, not very ......"

"Hey! It's not allowed! Shut up! ”

"Murakami-kun, Murakami-kun!"

"I'm sorry." Yu Murakami's memory was rewritten, "I often listen to Higashiyama's songs, they are very good, and there has always been a single cycle. ”

The two girls let out a crisp and touching laugh, like a carp jumping briefly on the surface of a silent lake, which makes people think about that picture for a long time, and often recall that picture.

Higashiyama's song was released from the CD, and Yu Murakami didn't think it was worth listening.

But her cappella singing is very flavorful, so when he has nothing to do, he often listens to her practice in the atrium.

"Who are you hanging out with?" Miss Sakura said narrowly.

"Well...... I can't say all the names of the eight girls, Yu Murakami said, "Nobunaga." ”

"Nobunaga again? You just stay with Nobunaga! Miss Sakura said.

Ai Nakano smiled: "I know." Murakami-kun is either Nobunaga, Uchida and Kaito every day. ”

The tone of the two seemed to complain about their husbands who had been drinking out and didn't return home at night.

"Keep reading the letter, Frog Chocolate] San's letter.

[Murakami-san, Sakura-san, Nakano-san, good evening.

watched the latest episode of "Gem Country", the diamond played by Nakano-san is very gentle, and Sakura-san's round-grained diamond is very strong, and the strength is also the most powerful gem outside of Mr. Kongo, I personally like Sakura-san's bass very much.

In addition, the word King Kong in the name of the round diamond means that she has a deeper connection with Murakami-san? Or will they end up together? 】

Am I with round diamonds? It's impossible to do. ”

"[Frog Chocolate] Mulberry is talking about round grain diamonds and King Kong sensei, right?" Miss Sakura said.

Ai Nakano said, "But in the anime, aren't all gems genderless? They also refer to each other as {elder brother, younger brother}. ”

"Love clothes!" Miss Sakura said, "Love knows no gender! ”

"Hmm." After a while, Nakano Aiyi was stunned and responded.

"Murakami, don't you know the original author, Ichikawa-san? How did it end? ”

"There will indeed be gems to get married."

"Oh! Who is it? Who to marry? Jewel? Mr. King Kong? Miss Sakura asked in a flurry of questions.

"Specifically, please continue to pay attention to the original comics, I won't say more."

......

Next, there is also a question session from the audience about the original work.

For example, what is the symbolism of the different styles of hairstyles of gemstones?} }

The answer is determined by Mr. King Kong according to his own preferences.

Finally, there are related peripheral promotions, such as character keychains, figures worth more than 3 million yen, and so on.

Outside the window, when the sky was dark and the city was lit up, the hour-long broadcast of {Murakami was scared} finally ended.

The three of them packed up their things and walked to a nearby station together to catch the train back to Sakuraso.

——————

5th Friday of July, 2015.

The weather is hot, with the highest outdoor temperature reaching 34 degrees Celsius, and the city of Tokyo is not crowded with tourists.

In the Tokyo Seniors Budget Group, girls share every day how to hydrate, protect themselves from the sun, and where to eat ice cream.

In addition, Mizurai's curse on summer will never be absent.

"It's the damn summer, fuck off."

The individual programs of Yu Murakami and Ai Nakano have also been confirmed.

Yu Murakami's program is called "That's the voice actor Murakami~~".

The session plan tentatively reads letters, plays games, {in some cases, judges whether it is popular or not}, etc., and will be adjusted according to the popularity in the later stage.

What can be determined now is, first, the voice actor will be invited as a guest;

the second is to go out every four episodes, and the exterior scenes can only be watched by purchasing CDs;

The third is the assistant candidate You Mubi - the firm asked You Mubi to only sign a contract with YM before agreeing to this.

Nakano's love for clothes is called "Sweater Wine Tasting".

I heard that the first sponsor has been pulled - not a wine merchant, but the production company of "Passerby Heroine".

The collaboration plan of "Sweater Wine Tasting" X "Passerby Heroine" has reached the hands of the voice actors of the four main characters of the anime.

Nozomi Anno, Ai Chino and Saori Onishi began to cooperate with Yu Murakami's itinerary and slowly adjusted their schedules.

Nozomi Anno is a senior, but in the face of [Most Popular Female Voice Actor] and [Most Popular Male Voice Actor], with far more votes than the second place, and tied for the first place, Yu Murakami, can only be convinced and obediently cooperate with the juniors.

"How can it be so exaggerated?"

Yu Murakami shook her head at the peerless beauty Risa Taneda who relayed the latest industry news in front of her.

"Where's the exaggeration? Isn't Nozomi Anno a senior? Or is she not cooperating with you? ”

"Anye-san has time, and there are no other activities scheduled at all, which is the truth."

"She'd rather be forced to convince her juniors than hear your facts, I promise." Risa Taneda pulled her long, beautiful black hair back to her head and tied it into a ponytail.

Slightly thick oblique bangs, two slightly curly strands hanging on both sides of the goose egg face, snow-white slender neck, black tulle-like short sleeves.

If she went to shoot a shampoo commercial, Yu Murakami probably wouldn't change the channel.

Tie the ponytail and start wearing the apron around "The Spirit of the Halberd".

Yu Murakami looked away, took a sip of the oolong tea in his hand, and looked around.

A bar-like kitchen, where the guests sit is lit up enough, and the rest of the room is a little quieter, and the staff in a circle are adjusting the camera.

The first recording site of "Taneda Takahashi's [Please Taste It, Murakami-san]".

"Tie it for me, Murakami."

Yu Murakami turned his head, Risa Taneda turned her back to her, and the button behind her apron was unbuttoned.

He put down the oolong tea in his hand and reached out to tie it.

The back of the little finger touches a small hard object, which is the buckle of Taneda's Risa's underwear.

At his distance, if you look closely, you can indeed see that there are very slight ups and downs.

He hung his hands in the air and helped her tie her apron.

"How?"

Risa Taneda turned around and raised her hands slightly, showing him a peerless beauty in an apron.

"It's a bit of a mismatch."

"Impossible." Taneda Risa immediately denied, "Even if this apron design is not good-looking, it can't be ugly on me." ”

She never seemed to think that she had clothes that she couldn't control.

Risa Taneda took out her phone and handed it to him.

"Take a picture of me, and I'll see for myself."

Yu Murakami unlocks his phone and taps into the camera.

"Do you know my phone's password?" Risa Taneda pointed her finger at him.

"Didn't you type in front of me at the opening banquet of "April"?"

"When was that...... Huh~~" Taneda Risa nodded, understanding everything, "Pretending not to be interested in me, but secretly doing this kind of thing?" It's you, Murakami. ”

Yu Murakami took a good photo, returned the phone to her, picked up the oolong tea in his right hand, and explained:

"I don't have many advantages, and my memory is barely one."

"Huh~"

"On March 1st, the first day of spring, you sang 'Broken Apple', and piano, men's rights and women's rights."

In addition, there is Suzune Sakura, who has short hair and is sick.

At this time, she should be with Ai Nakano on the stage of the "Scarlet Aria" event.

Last night, I heard the two of them say that they had to change their clothes at the event, and I don't know what kind of scene it was.

"Ho Ho~"

The peerless beauty Risa Taneda still doesn't believe that he {remembered everything, not just hers}.

She has confidence in her appearance that is harder than steel.

Yu Murakami was also out of the mood to explain.

Risa Taneda looks at herself in the photo, she is very photogenic, and there is nothing wrong with her clothes, like a kitchen photo.

Satisfied with the group, put away the mobile phone, while washing hands, while asking the staff:

"When does it start?"

"Sorry, please wait, Mimi-san Takahashi is still on the way."

"It's fine."

Risa Taneda smiled and nodded, so the male staff member secretly looked at her more often in the rest of his work.

The two of them had nothing to do for a while.

"Murakami, where is tonight's April celebration feast?"

"Go ahead."

I didn't go if I didn't go before, but now, he has a lot of relationships with many of the original authors - he also used their or animation in "Impossible Love", plus the relationship with illustrators, sound supervisors and other card friends, there is no reason to refuse.

"That's together." Risa Taneda propped her elbows on the bar and looked at Yu Murakami.

"Okay."

"Looking at the news in the group, there are a lot of good things in the lottery of this celebration banquet."

"Oh-"

"Not interested?" She stroked the curly hair that fell from her sideburns, "That's right, after all, it's a man who donated 800 million bonuses, how can he take a fancy to these small prizes." ”

"If anything, I'd like to draw a stwich."

"Isn't there Sakura Village?"

"Concave sauce thought, in case you go, there are not enough game consoles, not enough handles, and I want to buy another one."

"She asked you to buy it for her?" Taneda Risa laughed, and the two small apple muscles on the left and right of the goose egg face were like small white steamed buns that could be eaten in one bite.

"Nope."

"What about you?"

"If you can take it for nothing, why spend it indiscriminately."

"Murakami, I really don't know what to say about you. ...... in a moment"

"Sorry, I don't know why the tram is delayed, I'm late." Minami Takahashi walked in breathlessly.

"It's okay, it's okay until the evening anyway, just take a break." Risa Taneda smiled and poured her a cup of oolong tea.
