Speaking of voice actors, anyone who has read Japanese anime can think of their job characteristics - to realize their dreams by selling their voices. However, the recent situation in the voice actor industry has exposed all kinds of ups and downs. This seemingly glamorous profession actually hides a lot of hardship and frustration.

Although the voice actor industry often has all kinds of strange things, the recent situation is like a blowout, and it is constantly exposed. Among the various news, there are good and bad, and there are even big news that shocked the entire industry, which makes people sigh and regret.

Sour: Voice actor Matsukai Miyu died on October 27 at the age of 38

Matsuki Misuke

Although it happened a few days ago, every time I see this news, my heart tightens. The female voice actor Matsukai Misuke, who voiced Saginomiya Isumi in "Hayate the Combat Butler" and Katsurako in "Sneak Nyaku", passed away on October 27, Japan time, at the age of 38. A few days later, Ms. Matsukai's agency officially issued an obituary, announcing the sad fact to the public.

Known as the "post-70s beauty girl", Matsukoi maintained very good relationships with other voice actors with her optimistic attitude and gentle personality, including Suzuki Tatsuhisa, Inoue Marina and others. After Ms. Matsukoi passed away, her former voice actor friends posted messages to express their condolences, which shows her wide influence. According to the agency, Ms. Matsukoi died during her convalescence, and the specific cause was complications caused by pneumonia. Prior to this, she was hospitalized for acute pneumonia in July and suspended all dubbing activities.

What is heartbreaking is that the always optimistic Miss Songlai was confident that she would "find someone to marry after being discharged from the hospital". On her birthday not long ago, she happily cut the birthday cake and wrote down her wish of "getting married". However, now...

Let us temporarily step away from the sadness of Ms. Matsurai's death, change our mood, and look back at the sweet news of the marriage of Tosyuki Toyonaga, nicknamed "Tossy".

Toyonaga Toshiyuki is a Japanese voice actor, singer, and actor. When he was a voice actor, he dubbed characters such as Ryuugamine Teijin in Durarara! and Nagachika Hideyoshi in Tokyo Ghoul, winning the love of the audience with his soft and varied voice. At the same time, as a singer and actor, he has also participated in stage plays, and composed and sang songs, which shows that he is versatile.

After his first solo concert "Today You Laugh" at the end of October, Toyonaga Toshiyuki announced his marriage. He said that he and his wife have been dating for more than four years and have formed a strong bond and tacit understanding. What is surprising is that compared to other voice actors who caused dissatisfaction and anger among fans after getting married, Toyonaga Toshiyuki's marriage news did not stir up too many waves. Fans also sent their blessings one after another, and there was no impulsive and radical behavior, which was surprising.

Bitterness: Voice actor Yurika Ochiai reveals the reason why she became an "abandoned child" and the "poorest voice actor" complains bitterly

Ochiai Yurika

As mentioned above, after Matsukura Miyu passed away, many friends posted messages of condolences, including Ochiai Yurika (now known as Hase Yurina), the voice actor who voiced Yukiho Hagiwara in The Idolmaster. Taking this opportunity, she reappeared in the public eye and told the painful inside story of how she gradually became an "abandoned child" and was hidden away.

Fans who are familiar with the Idolmaster project will know that the idol Yukiho Hagiwara, who belongs to the original 765 Production, once had a change of voice actor. Yurika Ochiai was the voice actor of Yukiho at the beginning of the project, and then Akemi Asakura took over. Fans have speculated for a long time about the replacement of Yukiho's voice actor. According to the official statement, Yurika Ochiai "gave up the voice of Yukiho for her own dream", but in fact it is not that simple.

Yurika Ochiai once performed for money in Akihabara, and ended up being called the "poorest voice actor". Unlike others, there are not many positive reports about her, but negative news and gossip are endless. Previously, she was exposed to have talked with a scout for a romantic action movie, and also released a photo album and erotic pictures with inappropriate content. Whether it is true or not, it is impossible to verify, but these rumors must have had a deep impact on her, and also led to the final ruthless "hiding" ending.

Spicy: Voice actress Takabe Ai was arrested for drug-related crimes and all related works were removed from the shelves

Takabe Ai

If there is any news about voice actors recently that is extremely sarcastic, it is the news that voice actor Takabe Ai was arrested for drug-related crimes.

On October 15, Japanese police arrested Takabe Ai, a popular idol and voice actress who had participated in the dubbing of animation works such as "Love Killer" and "Blue Flower", on suspicion of violating the "Psychotropic Drug Control Law". According to the police, cocaine and psychotropic drugs were found in Takabe Ai's belongings and home, and she is currently detained in a women's detention center. In Japan, which hates drug use, once you are involved in drugs, your life is basically over, such as the previous example of Noriko Sakai.

It is not just Takabe Ai's life that is implicated, but also many works she has participated in dubbing. In an interview, Takabe Ai's agency said that it has terminated the contract with her, and at the same time, her name has been completely erased from the list of voice actors in a series of related works such as "Love Killer Baby" and "Blue Flower", completely severing ties with her.

Although he is not famous, as a public figure, once his drug-related crimes are exposed, the consequences he will bear are hundreds of times more than those of others.

Many people admire the profession of voice actor, believing that it "injects soul into virtual characters" and is very worthy of admiration and envy. In fact, voice actors are also members of society, bearing many troubles such as daily life and work pressure, and experiencing the same setbacks as ordinary working people. There are many fledgling newcomers who are still in obscurity, and there are also many voice actors who have worked hard for decades but are still unknown. The cruelty of the industry can be seen. As for the various soul-stirring moments and warm plots in the new July show "That's the Voice Actor", how many of them will appear in reality? After all, there is still a huge gap between ideal and reality.
