I awoke this morning to a rather busy morning on twitter about some stuff concerning some seiyuus. So, I figured I do some digging around and happened to come about a certain story that involves a certain anime that is currently airing right now, Kokoro Connect. A lot of the information that I managed to gather was from twitter and 4Chan, so I apologize if some things may be wrong. But anyways, it turns out that they were having a Kokoro Connect recently and two seiyuus were MCs at this event, Terashima, Takuma (Aoki) and Kanemoto, Hisako (Yui). One part of the show involved a "special guest" to appear. That "special guest" was Ichiki, Mitsuhiro a not so well known seiyuu who hasn't really had many roles in the industry. Well, the whole idea was to actually prank the poor guy in front of hundreds (maybe thousands) of people at the show or on Nico Nico Douga. Here how it went down, Mitsuhiro was invited to audition for a voice acting gig for the anime Kokoro Connect not knowing that his agency and SilverLink were in on a prank. So, the producers made him say some embarrassing lines while video taping him with a hidden camera. Well, during the show, Mitsuhiro was invited on stage in front of the audience and shown the video of him during the audition saying all of those weird lines. So, if I'm not mistaken, Terashima, Takuma (Aoki) was bashing him referring to him as the show's janitor and Kanemoto, Hisako (Yui) was laughing along with it and also was laughing about it on her own talk show. So yeah, he thought he was finally going to make it big only to have those dreams stomped on.Read more »
