Megami Magazine July 2024 - Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote

[gotouhitori]

"I have to have you stay the night so we're not lying to our fans when we say we spend the night." I mean it's an entirely harmless thing to just be economical with the truth about, and a little weird to do just because of that, but nothing too out there.

Boy, that escalated quickly.

"Other voice actresses go to hot springs together, therefore I need to get in the bath with you."

"I'm just teasing you. And to that end I need to sit in your lap. While we're naked in the bath."

"And comment on how comfortable your breasts are pressed into my back."

Holy shit, this show.

denial is a river in egypt (and two girls on a beach)

Yugure Yuhi is good at many things. At the ripe young age of 18, she landed herself a role as the protagonist in the hit show Phantom. She can draw a realistic rendition of a mecha with her eyes closed, she can nail down a new dance within a few hours and when her back’s against the ropes, she can dish out meaningful compliments to her fri–partner on her high school radio show.

What Yugure Yuhi is not good at is pick-up beach volleyball.

THIS FANDOM ONLY HAS 4 FICS AND THIS IS THE 4TH?? we are in the yuri trenches out here o7 stay strong, yuri warriors

[arataka-reigen]

She is so losergirl coded to me

[star-fandoms]

YES!! I have five actually, and while I'm still trying to fit them in a way that would make more sense for the canon story(So one director, in my own little version ig each of the troupes have their own directors, but also I know that there are some people that really don't like when the story is changed, even if it's not a drastic change, so that's why I'm trying to work on a more canon version?) I also don't have any art of them so I'll be using picrews for now, I'll give the link too ofc! I'll update this once I make art for them since the picrews won't have the colors/clothes/body types I have in mind.

Izumi Sato: She/Her, Bisexual, 22-23, January 23. She's supposed to be like Izumi from the game with a few changes to make her more like an oc of mine. All of the stuff that happens in game to make her join the Mankai company, happens to her. She's easy to get along with and extraverted, she's not afraid to embarrass herself and is great at encouraging others to be themselves as well. In my own story she encourages her younger sister, Aiko, to come stay at Mankai company with her to try and encourage her to get out and socialize more. She's sometimes a little pushy and stubborn, but she means well. She's the main director for the spring troupe. The character's I ship her with are Tsuzuru, Itaru, Citron, and Chikage. Her fashion would consist of comfy clothes that are still cute. I also think her hair would be more in between this brown and the red hair her sister has. She would wear blues the most.

Himari Asahi: She/They, Pansexual, 19-20, April 10. She's close friends with Izumi! She struggles to be as outgoing as Izumi and really admires Izumi for her personality, that's why she tries her hardest to talk to others, since she wants to be like Izumi personality wise. She loves dressing up in cute fashion, and she can be her weird true self when she trusts you enough. Izumi calls her an alien which Himari does not deny, she's not actually an alien sadly, but she thinks it'd be cool if she was. She goes to the same university as Kazunari, wanting to be an artist for video games. They're prone to disaster and bad luck, but they try their hardest, always, even if no one notices how hard they try. I ship them with Misumi, and Kazunari. They would be the director for the Summer troupe while Izumi takes care of the Spring troupe. I think their color scheme would be more of a periwinkle rather then lavender.

Chika Suzuki: She/Her, Bisexual, 25-26, November 3. Chika is a very mature woman who acts like the mother of the company, she's reliable, wise, and caring. She's also the richest of my A3 oc's, coming from a very wealthy background. She helps Izumi out with managing the Autumn trope and the finances. She's also childhood friends with Yuki, who taught Chika how to enjoy life and be herself. Despite Chika helping out a ton with the company, cooking is her kryptonite, she cannot cook a meal to save her life. She's also the tallest out of my A3 oc's, being 5'11. She first got into the Mankai company because she was interested in acting and found enjoyment in watching the plays, which caused her to donate a large sum of money. She later looked into working for the Mankai company, wanting to actually BE there. Despite having no history with management, she understood what she needed to do very quickly and adapted well. I ship her with Omi, and Sakyo. Her fashion consists of expensive, mature looking clothes that are also comfortable to wear, mainly wearing black, white, or red.

Yuki Kimura: They/She, PanDemi, 25-26, December 18. Chika's childhood friend! Yuki was a very shy child, but she always found enjoyment in the little things and was extremely grateful of the stuff that she could have as she grew up poor. Eventually Yuki's mother passed and Yuki got adopted, causing her and Chika to separate. Eventually, Chika and Yuki reunited in Mankai company and are closer then ever. To this day they still struggle with asking for things and spending their money, usually they'll spend their money on their friends rather then themselves. The people I ship them with are Tsumugi, Tasuku, Hisoka, Homare, Azuma, and Guy. They help out with managing the winter troupe. They also feel their soul leave their body when Chika cooks and therefore wastes food since it's inedible. Their fashion consists of warm, baggy, comfortable clothing. Their also chubby and have a lisp, which makes them really awkward and nervous whenever they speak. Yuki prefers to wear white clothing, but they enjoy any pastel clothing.

Aiko Sato: Any/All, 16-17, PanDemi May 5. She's Izumi's younger sister who's a total recluse. He has a really hard time socializing with others ad lives in constant fear of other people. It does not want to see people and it doesn't want others to see it. They go to school and that's their main experience with life outside of their home. She doesn't talk to anyone but her sister and even then she wants to run away when her sister tries to get her to go out. He hates himself and almost everything around him, he's extremely pessimistic and nihilistic. When it's sister makes it come to Mankai company it takes it a while before it even talks to anyone, just nodding at what they say if it's around them. However, they are a fan of fashion and after coming to Mankai company they stttarted to dress more how they wanted to, wearing cute dresses and accessorizing. With time she gets really close to the people in her age group. He helps out around Mankai company here are there, providing water bottles during training, or helping with dinner and cleaning, rather then doing any actual work. The people I ship them with are, Sakuya, Masumi, Tenma, Yuki, Muku, Kumon, Banri, Juza, Taichi, and Azami. It'd be more chubby, and have horrible eyebags. They also prefer to cover one eye because they're very insecure of their heterochromia, so sometimes they'll cover it with their hair or an eyepatch, whatever they feel like at the time. Aiko wears black and white mostly with little hints of color here and there!

Here's the picrew I used!: https://picrew.me/ja/image_maker/1649970

[synthesizershowdown]

Round 1 Has Finished!

Thank you all for voting! Some of the results are not what I expected while others are exactly what I thought they would be. Either way, it was an exciting time.

If you would like a breakdown of each winner along with occasional bit of commentary, it will be below the read more. Otherwise, the next round will start in a few days!

Macne Nana (87.5%)

Koharu Rikka (62.1%)

LUMi (60.6%)

Camui Gakupo (70.5%) - I’ll admit, I’m a bit surprised how low in votes Kiritan was. She’s decently popular in Japan, so I kinda thought it would translate here.

Sweet ANN (81.3%)

Kevin (69.7%)

Yamine Renri (59.5%)

COKO (73.9%)

AZUKI (53.8%) - Really now. Zunko lost to Azuki of all vocals.

Rana (82.4%)

Maika (93.5%) - For the longest time it’s was 100% for Maika, which made me laugh when I saw that.

Kizuna Akari (57.7%) - So, apparently it’s ZHIYU Moke. I had his photo saved as Zhiyun, autocorrect says Zhiyun and I have always referred to him as Zhiyun. I’m so sorry Zhiyu Moke fans, I’ve failed you.

flower (80%)

Otomachi Una (77.5%)

Macne Papa (69.6%)

Chis-A (79.2%)

Marie Ork (62.5%) - This was probably the most obscure face-off.

galaco (84.8%)

Tonio (79.3%)

An Xiao (58.3%)

RUBY (70%)

SeeU (88.2%)

BIG AL (53.1%)

CUL (51.3%) - This was such a close match, the lead swapped a few times. I think the difference might only be two votes. 

Lily (54.7%) - I love Lily, but I really expected all the Crypton vocals to pass at least the first round.

Yuezheng Ling (59.3%)

IA (86.2%)

Sato Sasara (68.2%)

DEX (80%)

Chiyu (92%) - I had to be reminded of Ginsaki’s existence when making this blog. I remembered the Vocalina girls more than him, which probably says something.

YOHIOloid (61.5%) - Of the two controversial Vocaloids, I did think Lapis would be more popular because of her design at the very least.

Kotonoha Aoi & Akane (71.9%) - I’m a little sad I couldn’t separate Akane and Aoi into their own spots on the bracket, but they literally have the same voice. It’s arbitrary which one is singing, which always saddens me.

Xingchen Minus (81.5%)

SF-A2 miki (87.9%)

Tone Rion (51.5%) - I wish they never changed Rion’s design. I loved the moe idol maid look. And the purple hair.

Natsuki Karin (67.9%)

Ryuto (82.5%)

Sachiko (65.8%) - Kinda surprised the enka vocal beat the versatile English male vocal, but maybe Jun is just too obscure...

Megurine Luka (85.7%)

AiKO (85.7%)

ASTERIAN (83.8%)

OLIVER (78.8%)

YUU (66.7%)

Kaai Yuki (75.6%) - I love how, of all the AHS vocals not named Yukari, Yuki is the vocal that gets new songs on NicoNico. And she’s the child vocal.

Tsurumaki Maki (56.4%)

unity-chan! (71%) - Is it because she has a design? Because I literally don’t think I’ve ever heard a song with her.

Genbu (60%) - This was the first tie. Kinda didn’t think that would happen until a later round.

Fuiro (53.7%) - Really?! I’m absolutely baffled by this result. Is there just an appeal for Fuiro’s edgy look?

Mo Qingxian (78.6%) - Kinsaki has even more votes than Ginsaki and yet I also forgot about her.

Cong Zheng (59.3%)

Mayu (85.7%)

Hatsune Miku (73%) - Poor Nemu never had a chance. The vote was closer than I expected though.

AVANNA (91.2%)

kanon (77.4%)

Yuma (51.2%) - Why was this so close?

Hiyama Kiyoteru (72.2%) - How did I get his name backwards? I checked the wiki and everything...

Haiyi (51%)

Kagamine Rin (77.1%)

Prima (77.4%)

Luo Tianyi (92.3%)

MEIKO (81.8%)

Chika (78.4%)

Yuezheng Longya (65.7%)

VY1 (86%)

MEIKA Hime (79.1%)

Nekomura Iroha (76.3%) - This actually shocked me. KAFU is so popular on NicoNico, she gets at least one new song in the top 20 every week. She’s even getting a SynthV! Iroha, to my knowledge, never had that level of popularity. The NicoNico-Tumblr disconnect really shows sometimes, huh?

Kagamine Len (65%)

Kasane Teto (88.7%)

GUMI (83.6%)

SONiKA (51.9%)

SOLARIA (90.2%)

Po-uta (85.4%) - ... Is he actually popular? As someone who doesn’t like Porter Robinson really follow YouTube original songs, I don’t see him pop up on my feeds.

ROSE (54.8%)

VY2 (60%) - I put VY1 in the poll itself. I’m an idiot. I really hope that didn’t actually effect the vote. Also, kokone is probably my favorite vocal design. I don’t really know why, but I really love her appearance.

MEIKA Mikoto (88.7%) - I actually forgot to capitalize the MEIKA for both of the plum siblings. I’m such a fake fan.

YANHE (95.7%) -  None of the V5 or V6 standard vocals passed this round, which probably indicates how well liked they are.

Yuzuki Yukari (75.9%)

Haruno Sora (65.3%) - Surprised about this one, but I’m also glad I won’t have to copy that weird N thing with ONE again. Copying the unique symbols in some of the vocals really is something I don’t recommend.

Utatane Piko (88.5%) - If you haven’t heard AiSuu, it’s a unique experience. Her voice is so not what I expected when looking at her design.

Mirai Komachi (56.3%) - The only isotope vocal to continue on is COKO, who I think is the least popular of the four released vocals. Fascinating.

Eleanor Forte (69.5%)

Xuan Yu (80%)

L♀LA  (65.2%)

Fukase (75.8%) - I know ALYS is an obscure vocal from an obscure engine, but still. I expect the pretty lady to beat the burnt boy, not get destroyed in the vote.

[whaleswagbracket]

ROUND TWO

[ID: A photo of a Commerson’s dolphin breaching and a photo of a group of Sato’s beaked whales surfacing, with a VS symbol between them. End ID.]

These competitors might both be black and white, but they’re very different in terms of outgoingness. Commerson’s dolphins have a reputation for swimming along boats in a behavior called bow-riding, while Sato’s beaked whales, like the rest of their family, really don’t like being spotted. It’s the reason we know so little about these shy fellows!
