"Well, you're right. So his voice needs to sound stupid, passionate, and a little bit like a bad boy."

"Is this...ah?"

"The same example is the Furukawa couple."

Kato Yusuke continued:

"Although these two characters usually stage all kinds of dumbfounding dramas about chasing their wives because the bread made by their wives tastes bad, they show a mature and steady side when it comes to family matters."

"Therefore, the voice actors dubbing these two characters cannot just focus on being funny, but must master the contrast and balance. This is my judgment standard."

Hui muttered "Hmm--" for a while, then thought thoughtfully and said:

"In that case... Is the character Ibuki Fuuko similar? She has a childish side and a side that runs around asking for help for her sister."

"Well, that's right."

"That's right~ So Yusuke, is this the reason why you arranged the audition for the tongue twister of "Keke" yesterday?"

"Well...well, there is indeed a reason for that, but...don't you find it interesting?"

"Eh?"

Kato Yusuke smiled and said, "I mean, don't you think it's interesting when Fuko imitates a chicken crow? I personally think it's very interesting."

"……that."

Hui tilted his head in confusion for a while, then returned to the right angle and looked at him helplessly.

"...To put it simply, Yusuke, you are just trying to satisfy your own evil taste, right? Isn't this really mean-spirited?"

"Pfft~"

The sound monitor on the side slapped his thigh and laughed.

"Is that really true? To be honest, I've been feeling this way since yesterday. Brother Kato, you look serious, but you're actually a bit boring.

Just like the characters you designed, this is also a kind of contrasting cuteness, right? Hahahahaha."

Kato Yusuke shrugged and refused to argue.

Goto smiled for a while and then expressed a little admiration:

“But then again, this is the first time I have seen such a special group portrait work.

Each character has its own highlights and depth, which is completely different from those works where characters are overused for convenience. It’s amazing.”

He raised a big toe as he spoke, while Kato Yusuke nodded slightly in greeting.

The small talk is over and work begins.

Combined with the original paintings they provided, the sound monitor allowed the sound mixer to demonstrate some commonly used sound effects in the game.

For example, the sound of talking, footsteps, opening and closing doors, and the chirping of sparrows.

There's not much to say in this aspect, they are basically the same, and you can make adjustments later if necessary.

The difficult part is the theme song and interlude.

The mixer played the 42 music demos he had prepared.

Kato Yusuke listened completely and expressed his opinions without expression.

"——I'm sorry, I don't think these tracks are good."

"Uh, not all of them...?"

The sound mixer in front of the console rubbed the back of his head, showing a troubled expression.

The female audio producer in office attire quickly checked the case information, raised her hand to push up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and raised questions in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"I'm sorry, we should have created the work according to the information you provided and closely matched the theme of the work, the character's personality, the scene and other factors.

May I ask what you think is wrong?

Is it the emotion of the music? Style? Rhythm? Melody? Or is it something else that doesn’t work? I hope you can give me some advice.”

She asked questions urgently and quickly, like a barrage of questions, exuding a sense of insistence on her opinion.

No wonder she had such a reaction.

You know, what was just played was a full 42 songs!

Although they are still just some unfinished music demos, they are still the result of a lot of time and effort they spent.

It is naturally unacceptable to be denied by a simple "no".

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting a little tense, the sound supervisor quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Well, don't be so anxious now. If you have any problems, we can talk about it slowly."

He scratched his cheek and looked at Kato Yusuke in embarrassment.

"In short, Brother Kato, can you explain specifically what makes you feel uncomfortable? That way we can better understand your needs."

"It's okay if the music needs to be modified, but if you deny it completely, it's a bit... we can't explain it to our superiors without a legitimate reason. I hope you can understand."

It is completely normal for the work designed by the producer to fail to meet the requirements of the partner.

This kind of thing inherently requires both parties to communicate repeatedly, make constant revisions, and finally work together to complete the work.

In fact, the sound supervisors are not afraid of modifications, but they are afraid of encountering a situation where amateurs are blindly directing.

As the audio production said, if the partner has specific requirements, then anything can be said...

But there are often just some people!

If you ask him what he needs, he won't be able to tell you what Chou Yinmao is, he will just throw it at you -

"I don't know what's wrong, but it just doesn't feel right, so I can't do it."

——There is simply no way to handle a case like this!

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of cooperation is almost every creator’s nightmare, the kind that makes them want to slap their face with their slippers.

Kato Yusuke calmly watched everyone's reactions, took Megumi's hand that was stiff due to nervousness, and pondered.

To be honest, the music demos made by the "Cube" family are actually quite good. Although they are not amazing, they are still passable.

Both the happy and sad aspects of the song have been taken into consideration, and you can feel that you are doing something seriously rather than just doing an errand.

But--

It just lacks the original flavor.

In other words, those music lacked the emotion that Yusuke Kato was pursuing.
