Things in the Media

[wildmelody]

So um... I was looking through the news and A actor who I liked a lot passed away. The weird thing is, I always liked him because he sounded a lot like my papa.

So I gave my father a hug today, and I'd like everyone to give your family hugs to. Just because, well, it feels like it needs to be done. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching old home movies and anime today.

.. I'm sorry to hear it, Hibiki-chan. No matter who passes away, whether it's someone close or just someone famous.. that's still sad, right? [ Especially given her reasons. ] But I agree with you, you never know when something might happen, so.. it's really, really important to always show you care to everyone you love!

[wildmelody]

Yeah that's what I feel. I never knew my grandparents and my mom and dad are all that I have. I just remember growing up to his voice acting and performances, so I was really sad when I heard he passed on.

Thanks so much for your concern Usagi. It's really helpful.

[selene]

[ Well, at least she's glad to hear it's cheering her up a little.. ]

Hee. I'm sure your father loves you a whole lot, Hibiki-chan. And your mother too! After all, that's what parents are for. And they're still here both with you!

[wildmelody]

Yeah that's true! I'm really glad they're around for me. I love them a lot.

[selene]

Maybe you could go do something fun together sometime! Or are your parents busy a lot?

[wildmelody]

I could probably get Papa to go out camping with us later on. Though Mama is off on tour right now for the violin.

[selene]

.. Wah, your mother plays violin, Hibiki-chan?! That's so cool..!

[ Little does she know she's going to fangirl about a similar thing all over again in about two arcs. But still. ]

[wildmelody]

Yeah, mama is a world-famous violinist and my papa is a famous composer and conductor. They met during one of mama's tours and settled in Kanon Town. I've always loved mama's violin, and apparently she would play it for me when I was to go to sleep.

[Repetition is a wonderful thing.]

[selene]

That's such a cute story.. so they met and fell in love because of music being their passion, it sounds like something straight out of a manga, ehehe!

[wildmelody]

Apparently Tsubomi's mom and dad met in a field full of flowers, and it was love at first sight. At least according to what I know.

[selene]

Eeeeh?! Are you saying everyone's parents get a cute story like that?! Mama and Papa said it was nothing special when I asked them before! That's so unfair..!

[wildmelody]

Most parents downplay their first meeting from what I heard, but it's rather adorable. Maybe when you find someone it'll be great.

[selene]

[ ...

Ah.

Awkward.

She scratches the back of her head a little, pausing before she answers. ]

Um, I already have someone like that, although I don't know if our first meeting was "adorable"..

[friendcontracts]

It would be harder if the actor sounded like a family member.

[wildmelody]

It is, yeah. And I was a big fan of his. I grew up with his voiceovers and performances.

[friendcontracts]

Can't say I ever heard of him, though.

[wildmelody]

He's pretty modern, though it's been a while. He has done, hmm... mostly dubbing and animation roles. He dubbed a dog named Beta in Up from Pixar, Taylor in Eat-man and was in a recent Live Action role.

[friendcontracts]

Guess I'm not really up to date.

[wildmelody]

We can get you up to date. I'll give you a way to watch Kamen Rider WArmored Battle Doubler.

[friendcontracts]

What's that, then?

[wildmelody]

The live action show that he was a part of. He was a really spectacular villain in that.

[friendcontracts]

I only really see a couple of movies once in a while. Can't say I'm one for television either.

[wildmelody]

He's really good at what he does to be honest. Really spectacular actor.

[friendcontracts]

You really liked him, I see.

[wildmelody]

Yeah I really did. There was something wonderful about his voice.
