Have you… Have you seen it? I CAN‘T CALM DOWN! I’M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF! :D I’m so in love with those guys… This is the best duo ever!
does someone have a spare file they can share me for Tenimyu Undoukai 2019? I just want some more 3rd season content 🥺🥺
From DVD vol 7, made by me. Edited using off vocals.
Konishi wrote an article on the Japanese online news website Ironna, sharing her thoughts on the #MeToo movement in Japan, as well as her own experiences with harassment from her superiors. The article is titled: "My Tell-All Story about the Demons Lurking in the Voice Acting Industry."
That was absolutely horrifying and disgusting. As much as we expected sexism, I’m not sure how many of us actually knew it went to this extent. To me, it’s shocking that they not only intrude on sexism but on workplace rights. You would think that someone would’ve set up a guild or a union (besides agencies) that would fight for the rights of voice actors.
I don’t think these practices are as harsh since a lot of the events in the article take place a couple of decades ago, but it’s not like this was that long ago. She’s born in 1975 which makes her just a year younger than Takahiro Sakurai.
I wrote a bit here about some other things about inequality: https://natsspammityspamspamham.tumblr.com/post/182791600287/seiyuu-rant-gender-inequality
I’m just going to be tagging a few people who happen to be in the seiyuu group here on Tumblr (who don’t have Reddit which this was initially shared on). @akaskira @sarapyon @luxicity @fearooren84910407 @datenshi-luci @tattsunsan @jyuhachi1994 @msyuksanh @rinchin143 @levichan17
Here are some of the things endured by Konishi and her colleagues (which is probably the tip of the iceberg):
Keep reading
I wanted to talk about some of the replies that I read. They were thought-provoking for me, so I decided to post them all here. Hitting three birds with one stone.
@datenshi-luci
Yup. I hear a lot about it in K-Pop. The entertainment business is especially rough with sexual harassment and assault.
And yeah, the Arts Vision scandal was terrible. She was assaulted at only 16. This incident did occur in 2006, and he was released a few months later after his arrest. He stepped down as chairman in 2007. I feel like he wasn’t really held accountable. He apparently was released for medical reasons or something like that. Basically, bullshit
What’s even worse is the fact that he was the founder of the company, and this agency represents a lot of good voice actors Saki Fujita, Jun Fukushima, Souchirou Hoshi, Tomoaki Maeno, Kousuke Toriumi, Yuuichirou Umehara, and Daiki Yamashita just to name a few. It is also the parent company of I’m Enterprise which is another huge agency which houses Saori Hayami, Youko Hikasa, Kaede Hondo, Rie Kugimiya, Maria Naganawa, Mai Nakahara, Saori Oonishi, Ari Ozawa, Chiwa Saito, Ayane Sakura, Aya Suzaki, the Uchida siblings, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Hiro Shimono, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka.
@akaskira
I couldn’t agree more. After reading the university scandal, where they deterred women who wanted to become doctors by discouraging them and manipulating their test scores, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why the childbirth rate is low (one of the many reasons). When you make a woman choose between her career and her family, it gives her an ultimatum that men don’t face as often. It’s truly disappointing, and I hope they begin to realize this. Shinzo Abe himself is quite a conservative person though, and he hires people who might not have liberal views (there have been controversies since they are anti-gender equality and anti-LGBTQ).
@luxicity
I wouldn’t be surprised if they do know about it. Okamoto and Sugita should probably know about the darker sides of the industry. Some of these stories do make it up to the surface, but there isn’t a whole lot they can do about it. It’s pretty common knowledge that young female voice actors get hit on by the higher-ups and that sexual harassment is almost the norm in several industries. Okamoto and Sugita are both really nice guys (as far as we know). Despite what he says sometimes, Sugita is actually nice and treats younger voice actors to meals (which might’ve been because of Yukana), is down to do anything with Nakamura, and is encouraging of other people (not to mention his sense of humour). Okay, but he did give M.A.O. a not-so-nice drawing as a joke when she asked for his autograph. I think that was just a joke that missed though.
Explicit cases about higher-ranking female seiyuu usually don’t make it to the surface (by my knowledge), and Maaya Sakamoto has been working in the industry for most of her life. The English Wikipedia doesn’t have as much information, so I used the Japanese entry. It states that she has been working as a voice actress since she was eight years old. Nana Mizuki has also been in the industry for a long time. She started at voice acting at seventeen years old, but even she was sexually harassed by a teacher. She was also abused by her father and received death threats from a fan of hers. Quite a few female seiyuu do receive death threats or stalking incidents from fans, but I will argue that it happened to Shinnosuke Tachibana as well. I just see it a lot more with female seiyuu.
@luxicity When that incident in Arts Vision happened, I felt very uncomfortable, whenever Suzu introduced himself and naming his (then) agency Arts Vision. I was so glad that he left and founded his own. But I was worried, bc when that case got public and there was a trial (though that jerk of a manager got away easy), I was wondering what he and the other male seiyuu affiliated with that agency thought. It’s really a scary thought to think that some of the male seiyuu knew or even saw some stuff, even if they could not do a lot about it, it still makes me uncomfortable and ponder.
@natsthinkitythinkthinkthonk I’ve read Nana’s memoires and it was horrible what she had to go through, even more so since she was even abused at home. I thought Maaya started out as an child actress first and got into the singing and voice acting business. I don’t know if it’s different when you start out as a child actress and I’m not sure what kind of agency she’s affilitated with. Like, is it a theater group or school for talents, or a training school specifically for training voice actors and actresses?
And that university scandal is really telling. Few months ago there was a report that the university paid some of them compensation or whatever they call it. Like, yeah, you ruined and denied some of them their future and that money should make it even and forgotten? There’s def sth very wrong and the politicians are still asking themselves why the birth rate is so low. I know, the issue is more complicated but I also think that this is one of the main reasons for it.
can’t risk it
THIS PIECE OF PICTURE WORKS.
Gotta take all the chances…..
Never risk it
I can’t take the chance by not posting…🍀
Could use any good luck the universe can spare.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS
ITS COMING!!!! AND ITS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO MICROSOFT!!!!
WE’RE FINALLY GETTING WHAT WE DESERVED!!!!! YAAAASSSSSS!!!
I’m so so so hyped!!!
mafia!taeil
mafia!nct profile
Taeil doesn’t like who he is
He’s the leader of a group of boys who barely even know today’s date
How could he ever like who and what he is?
he wakes up every morning in the middle of Seoul with nothing but a frown on his face
because he knows that he won’t enjoy the day ahead of him
It starts with meeting Ten and his recruits
It ends with Johnny and Taeyong complaining about everything he could do better
It feels like sometimes, he’s a bit hopeless in his position as the leader of NCT
“fearless” they call them, but Taeil the furthest from fearless
all that Taeil has ever wanted to do is protect the people around him
and that’s what he plans on doing, even with bad press for himself
Taeil always wanted to return NCT to the triad it used to be
No one really knows what Moon Taeil looks like outside of NCT which he thinks is good
Effectively Taeil can go whenever he wants, whenever he wants without causing harm
Especially on nights where he’s drinking away his problems, it’s a good thing
He likes this bar near to Sejong university which is usually quite quiet
Aside from the occasional university student who just act like he isn’t there
He’s still young enough to seem like a student who secluded himself enough to be unknown
and that identity is one that he takes on whenever anyone approaches him from across the bar
Which is rarely, surprisingly
Girls and guys alike don’t like a 24 year old who looks like he hasn’t slept in days, if you didn’t know already
Taeil is sipping on some whiskey when the seat next to him is taken one night
It’s only around eleven but Taeil is so tired he can barely even hear his own thoughts
He’s been using the whiskey to sooth the problems for far far too long now
Ten is telling him that there’s no one willing to join NCT
Johnny is telling him that there’s no incentive to the younger members
Taeil needs a distraction and that distraction ends up being you
this isn’t how his usual evening where he finds someone goes though
He’s not pulled out of the bar and into a cab having his scars traced and hair pulled
Instead he finds himself listening to you recite a quote over and over with a strange look on his face
He has no damn clue who you are or what you’re doing
But he thinks you have the most beautiful voice
so much so that when you stop talking and shut your eyes to try and memorise it, he asks you what the quote is from
‘it’s from pride and prejudice.. have you read it?’
Taeil feels intimidated by the English words but shakes his head no
‘what does it say in korean?’
‘A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us’
He realises you’re smart unlike the others here and takes a liking to you
The way you brush your hair softly back from your eyes and how you smile gently
as it turns out you’re studying at Sejong university, you’re almost finished with your degree
but Taeil has a moment of panic when you ask him what he’s studying
and he realises it’s stupid, but he tells you that he’s studying history to not feel awkward
Taeil stupidly thinks that you won’t like him if he isn’t like you
He doesn’t feel like it’s all bad because he ends up taking your number at the end of the night
and he sleeps easy, for once, with something else on his mind
like.. when are you going to call him?
when are you going to text him back?
the next morning is the answer, and you ask if he’s free that evening because you’re bored
Taeil wishes he knew what bored felt like
He meets up with you and forgets his responsibilities with NCT for a while
You’d have never recognised him once he left his apartment in Seoul and met you at the park you suggested
His bright yellow jumper and yellow hat that matched somehow made him blend in
he feels like that kid who got to live his university dream for once and he loves it
he also.. quite enjoys the sound of your voice and your laughter and your gaze on him
He’s a leader, he’s learnt to be loud and have his voice heard
But when he’s with you he can go back to being quiet and listen to you
he loves it all so much
the relationship between you two starts off as friends
Taeil is so happy to have someone he can call a friend that it’s unreal
Even if his only friend doesn’t know one thing that’s true about him
Other than his name, age and how he feels about you
Taeil knows how badly he fucked up with you by telling you he was a university student but it’s too late to take it back
Especially when you’re hanging out with him in the library and one of the staffs is carrying out checks
they ask to see his university card and he has to lie that he left it at home
Somehow it works and they tell him to remember it next time
that’s when Taeil starts to suggest that the two of you avoid university places
Or rather he says he’d prefer to do less educational activities and spend more time with you
He doesn’t know why exactly it came out like that but it did
Taeil realises a week or so later that he said he wanted to spend more time with you because he wanted you
Not the act of having a friend, it was the effect he had on you
But all lies have to be outed eventually, Taeil is hanging on with everything he can for you not to find out he’s Moon Tae Il
but in the meantime, you two are becoming closer and closer each day
You think you know everything about him, and you almost do
Just not his identity or job or anything like that
Not what his real person could do to you
Or hurt you, even
Taeil’s crush becomes no joke when he finds himself becoming protective
It’s nothing that he’s noticed happening to you, but he realises he cares when he starts checking you’re locking your doors
That you don’t leave windows open
‘because you never know who’s looking for a place to break into’
He’s not stupid enough to think his life won’t interfere with yours
But it takes a few months for one of his rivals to find you
Luckily the two of you are together and when the guy approaches you Taeil stands in front of you
You have no idea what’s going on but Taeil is getting angry and the other guy too
It’s the first time Taeil has ever been anything but happy and calm in front of you
When the other guy leaves you’re a bit shaken and taeil knows he has to be somewhat honest
He says that it’s someone he’s not at all friendly with but you’re not stupid
You leave it for a couple of days before you’re with Taeil again and he kinda..realises you’re off
He asks you what’s wrong and he’s surprised to hear you ask
‘what’s NCT?’
and he panics because he has to try and explain everything, he doesn’t even answer you
not until you carry on and leave him no other choice
‘Online it said they were a triad.. why was that guy asking you about a triad?’
Taeil realises he has to either be honesty or he has to lie to you again
And really, lying to you is exhausting and he hates it so so much
So he goes for a third option which he makes up on his own
‘I don’t know, I really don’t. I think he was trying to scare me’
Taeil isn’t exactly telling the truth but he isn’t directly lying either
Truth is he has no idea to the identity of the man who came up to you two anyway
he’s glad you accept it, but he knows it’s ok your mind a lot
Because whenever you two are out together you’re always checking people
You seem on edge and taeil feels bad for it
He made you worried about all of this and he needs to make you feel safe
To protect you, like he was always meant to do with NCT
So he decides to take you out one day to ask you something
Well, tell you that he has feelings for you that are beyond friendship
You’re meant to meet him at a park nearby but Taeil decides to meet at yours instead
He hears from Youngho that someone is planning something around Taeil
Who heard from Chenle when he was trying to plant some recording devices in his home
so Taeil is in a little bit of a panic mode about you
He’s so paranoid in fact, when he sees you open the door and you’re wearing the most beautiful yellow dress
Which coincidentally match the bunch of tulips which he got for you
he just says it to you straight
‘I’m NCT’s leader’
It’s not what he meant to say but it was the first thing on his mind
That and how beautiful you looked but.. Taeil knows what he has to do
He realised that he couldn’t be in a relationship with you and confess unless he was honest
As much as that could take away from him
You’re unmistakably a little confused by his words and you invite him in to tell you everything
which he does
He tells you how he’s been in NCT since he was young and when the old generation started to die
He was elected as the new leader
and that he has all the other members under his control
That he didn’t want to tell you in case you saw him differently
He tells you that he didn’t want to be known as Moon Tae Il but rather just taeil
The guy who likes weird movies and enjoys strange music and doesn’t have too much stress
Even if you’re annoyed at him, it’s a lot to take in from one confession
He doesn’t even get to tell you that he likes you
Partially because he doesn’t want you to return to him with pity for him you know?
So you don’t see him for a few days to think over things
Taeil isn’t going to leave you on your own, don’t worry
He makes sure you’re okay and if he’s not available he has Youngho or Taeyong do it too
Most people are far too chicken to have a run in with Moon Tae Il so they leave him alone
And most importantly you too
He doesn’t expect to see you back for a while though
One day when he’s on the way to the library to sit a few desks away from you
You bump into him and he has to hide the smile on his face from finally getting to see you up close
Absence really does make the heart grow fonder
‘Did you not think that I’d notice you and the other two always following me around?’
Taeil feels a bit awkward after that
‘Thanks, though. For making sure I was okay. You made me feel less scared, like I was being protected’
And if you want to tell Taeil that you’re okay with what he does that’s up to you
But he’d be the best boyfriend
And an even better protector for you
Because no one fucks with Moon Taeil
Unless he’s in love with them, of course

These are probably things you didn’t know about NCT 127. We have asked about it from them!
Q: Who sleeps the most?
The members pointed towards Taeil without hesitation Taeil: I sleep whenever I can. I tend to wake up late.
