"That's it."

Doma turned around and smiled, giving Masamune and the other man in the private room an OK sign.

"No problem, the business is doing well!"

Hearing Umaru's laughter from inside the private room, Takeshi Honjo also started laughing.

I thought it was just a small street-side shop, but I didn't expect it to be in such a good location and such a big restaurant. It can definitely be considered a mid-range restaurant.

Although running a restaurant is quite troublesome, such a large place can generate a decent monthly income if business goes well, which is much more promising than the previous life of a corporate slave.

Chapter 157 The Light-Up Girl Who Never Forgot Her Original Intention

"Ah...! I misspoke."

As time went on, after the storyboard for K-On! was completed, the voice acting work began.

Having had the experience before, the five members of K-On! were very clear about their job duties, but when they returned to the recording studio to record the anime's opening theme, they still encountered numerous problems.

"What are you doing? Yui, everything was fine during rehearsals, wasn't it?" Ritsu Tainaka asked helplessly as she read her lines.

"Sorry, I was just too focused on the opening sequence. Come to think of it, we don't think we ever wore the clothes from the opening and ending sequences of the first season of the anime?"

"Because the style of the clothes is too embarrassing, even I feel very ashamed."

As they spoke, Ritsu Tainaka secretly glanced at Mio Akiyama, who was looking at her script next to her.

"But if you can't continue singing, why not let Mio start?"

"Huh...? Isn't Mio in charge of the ending theme? I want to sing the opening theme."

Seeing this, Masamune, who was outside the recording studio, took the microphone and interjected:

"Both of your versions will be included in the subsequent Blu-ray releases, so you can each sing it once."

"It's getting late today. If we don't start soon, we might be busy until very late."

"Do we have to work overtime?" Hirasawa Yui turned to look at the crowd outside the window.

"That's right. If we can't finish it even by working overtime, then we'll have to remake the schedule."

"Huh...? I understand."

The only thing Hirasawa Yui is unwilling to do is cause trouble for others.

He picked up the script again, closed his eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, said seriously:

"This time there will definitely be no problem."

The recording began the next moment.

Soon, Yui Hirasawa's voice filled the recording studio.

Seeing that the five members of K-On! were working smoothly, Masamune quietly left when the music was halfway through.

With three animations to be produced simultaneously this quarter, all departments are extremely busy, with their schedules packed full.

Although Masamune didn't have much work to do himself, he was never completely at ease about the progress of each stage of the work.

Moreover, in order to complete the heavily revised script for "Shirobako", it was necessary to travel back and forth between various departments.

That's about it for the voice acting. There's no need for too many anime to appear in *Shirobako*; two will suffice: *K-On!* and *My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU*.

Next, let's look at the other aspects.

……

"Huh...? Where did President Hayase go?"

After finishing her voice acting work for the day, Yui Hirasawa subconsciously looked around.

"The president has been gone for several hours."

Kugayama Yae, who was playing the role of a passerby, subconsciously struck up a conversation as he passed by.

"Has he left? I didn't even notice. I was planning to talk to him about the radio program."

"Are you talking about 'K-On! Interviews', Hirasawa-senpai? I listen to every episode, it's very interesting, and it feels like my inner weariness has been healed."

"Thank you for liking our radio program. Just call me Yui. It always feels a little strange to be called a senior by someone my age."

K-On! Interviews is an online radio program hosted by two members of K-On!, with two members taking turns hosting each time.

The main purpose was to promote the anime. It was also held last year during the broadcast of K-On!, and it was announced to be ending soon after the anime ended.

This year, thanks to the popularity of the first season, the promotion for the second season began well in advance during its production.

"I wonder what business Hirasawa-senpai has with the president? If it's urgent, I can ask others in the company group to see where the president is."

"Hmm...it's nothing urgent."

Hirasawa Yui turned around and discussed it with Akiyama Mio and the others, then took out her phone and dialed Masamune's number, which was quickly answered.

[What's wrong, Wei?]

"President Hayase, there's something I want to tell you. It's like this: promotion for anime is very important, as it affects anime sales, popularity, and our band's reputation. I know that about it."

"However, aren't we taking on too many gigs?"

Even if college students have plenty of time, they still have to attend classes.

"We've been taking on so many gigs—radio, variety shows, photography, concerts, and so on—that we haven't been able to practice singing these past few days."

[Sorry, in that case, I'll talk to Ando later and see if we can reduce the number of promotional gigs you've taken by half.]

call……

Hirasawa Yui let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Thank you, that's a great help."

"I know it's a good thing for voice actors to be able to take on more work, but we're only doing it part-time; our main job is still in the band."

[Isn't your primary job to be a college student?]

"Ah... I misspoke. But it's pretty much right."

While speaking, Yui Hirasawa noticed strange static coming from the phone and asked in surprise:

"What's wrong on your end? Is the signal bad?"

[No, they're doing running training here.]

Does running require training?

[Of course, the details in the animation are very important; the animation and sound effects will vary greatly depending on the running posture and speed.]

Hirasawa Yui tried to imagine an animation with a related scene, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Compared to other companies, Musashino's animations are excellent in terms of detail, and you discover something new every time you rewatch them.

During the recording of radio programs, readers' letters often mentioned many details that they themselves had not noticed.

"That's true, details are indeed very important."

"That's all I wanted to say. You guys go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."

[Okay, feel free to call me anytime if you need anything.]

……

Da da da……

Watching Aoi Miyamori run around indoors in various ways, Masamune silently wrote this scene down in his notebook.

Although this is not her main job, the production department needs to coordinate with various departments and meet the needs of different people.

Even after she became the production manager, this situation did not change much.

However, this is also because Miyamori Aoi has a very kind personality and can't refuse other people's requests.

Looking back, during the interview, she seemed to have said something like, "I'll do anything you ask me to do."

"That's pretty much it."

"Is it ready now?"

"Hmm, Miyamori's running form is perfect, unlike that of most girls. Has she ever trained in track and field?"

"No. What standard do you use to describe a typical girl, Mr. Morita?"

"Yui Hirasawa from K-On!"

“I think your standard of reference may be a bit problematic. My type is the normal standard for girls.”

Noticing Masamune taking notes nearby, Miyamori Aoi quickly walked over and asked curiously:

"What are you writing, President?"

"Material collection".

"Ah... oh."

Miyamori Aoi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

Xiao Lü said the same thing before; no wonder they were taught by the same teacher.

No wonder I've been seeing the president wandering around the company with his laptop these past few days.

"President, what's next after the promotion of K-On!"?

Did you hear that just now?

"Ah."

"Let's use other, more traditional methods of advertising, such as television and online advertising, even if it costs more money."
