#a3 actor training game

spring troupe seiyuus were so wild in their live stream?? like yeah sure whatever here have this picture of chikage’s seiyuu (wataru hatano) without context

finally finished the summer troupe version!! sunday’s my only day off from work so i did my best finishing this now. some of these jokes may come off offensive but i swear i tried turning them around to be wholesome. hope you all enjoy this one as well ^^

characters: tenma sumeragi, yuki rurikawa, muku sakisaka, misumi ikaruga, kazunari miyoshi, kumon hyodo.

genre: comedy, slight crack, fluff if u squint lmao the just care for each other ya feel??

cw: mentions of violence but as a lighthearted joke, mild swearing, again they’re a lil ooc but it’s bcs these are their privs.

what natsugumi tweets on their priv.

i love how harugumi is the pinnacle of familial love.

like it’s such a good trope that a group of people who struggled all their life one way or another come together for one goal and do their best to reach it despite being broken individually, not knowing that they’re slowly fixing each other in the process of reaching that goal. that’s exactly what harugumi is to me.

it’s just so so so heartwarming that five people who izumi gathered on a whim now get along so well that masumi and itaru both understand that they can’t understand each other (wild ik) but are still able to respect each other and provide support when needed. so fucking familial to the point that even itaru accepts the role of Troupe Dad and even commits to it, most especially being masumi’s acting-dad despite his real dad being alive and kicking because he’s unable to be a part of any important events in masumi’s life.

and then we have chikage who joined for,,, different motives,,, tbh i still don’t fully like chikage considering him using izumi to bait hisoka but it’s understandable given that the organization has given him inaccurate information. but that doesn’t mean i disregard his efforts turning over to a new leaf and letting himself bask in the love he’s never gotten to experience, even going so far as to say that izumi’s the only woman he respects.

however as a writer, for such a troupe like this to be so tight-knit, for a group to be so loving like this, it’s a pleasure to just nitpick the little things to note about each character, about why they chose to be here, about why they stay, about what they’re running away from, and that leaves so much room for potential angst to write— one so pain-striking that all you can think of is “no, they don’t deserve this.”

they really don’t, but it’s a guilty pleasure to expand on characters even if involves hurting both them and yourself.

that being said, their bond is so familial to the point that their problems outside of the acting troupe also involves family one way or another. sakuya not being able to find a permanent family, masumi not getting attention from his dad, tsuzuru having to deal with so many siblings, citron thinking about his position as next in line for the throne, itaru being badmouthed by a friend, and chikage’s only family being killed without his knowledge. there’s so much potential to dig deeper into their individual stories, to just break them and think of until what point they can hold the pain.

this is just my personal thoughts, but i genuinely think harugumi has the most angst potential among all the troupes in mankai. trust me lmao, harugumi angst just hits the hardest.

posting something a lil self-indulgent bcs i thought it’d be funny, i hope y'all likeyyy <33 no reader pov for this one hehe, might make a series out of this if i like it enough

characters: sakuya sakuma, masumi usui, tsuzuru minagi, itaru chigasaki, citron, chikage utsuki.

genre: slight crack, fluff, harugumi being a found family.

cw: swearing (itaru), lighthearted jokes (masumi), sakuya being wholesomely violent, out of character harugumi (because it is their private account after all)

believe me when i say im never turning off repeat for double solitare. like???

muku rapping??? immaculate. juza’s baritone rapping??? godly.

there is literally no bad song whenever any one or more member of the hyodosaka family are singing in it. all we need now is muku, juza, and kumon in one song and we’ll all be done for. not even the depths of hell can stop us from rioting over this family and i stand by that fact.

just look the sheer power they hold and imagine how that would multiply tenfold if we get a song with all three of them. good lord don’t even get me started with their character songs.

itsuka oujisama ni?? adorable. loner?? emotional masterpiece. seiten no sinker?? God’s greatest gift no cap.

then there’s their mixed troupe/play songs. q to juu?? iconic. the prince in full bloom?? angelic. double solitare?? intoxicating as fuck.

now project all that power into a hyodosaka fam song iN THIS ESSAY I WILL

—important.

warnings :: mentions of rape,suicide,domestic abuse,abortion, overall just a man being shitty. please proceed with caution.

i had planned to sleep early tonight to start the remaining requests tomorrow but i came across this on my facebook and i cant keep quiet.

i will not be putting in any effort to make this as aesthetic as my previous post as this is urgent and needs to be brought to light.

to get straight to the point, an issue regarding kazunari’s voice actor ren ozawa and his now ex girlfriend has come to light.

in this article, ozawa’s girlfriend had accused him of beating her into abortion. originally she had written a suicide letter and planned to hang herself but never got to due to a friend saving her. an update by the seiyuu cafe on facebook has been posted saying that his agency has cut ties with him after admitting to his faults.

now, as i say this, i beg of you all who are fans of a3 and kazunari to not hate on kazunari himself as, despite being only a 2d character, he does not deserve the hate. kazunari would not do this.

i ask of you all to stop supporting ren ozawa, to stop sending him love because apparently, he’s not deserving of any. i also ask of you all to hope the best for his ex girlfriend and wish for her healing.

it breaks my heart that he’s done something so disgusting as he’s never looked like the type to do so, but i guess looks can really be deceiving. i hope cybird and liber cast someone else as kazu’s voice actor, someone more deserving and someone morally better.

please do reblog this, or anything to spread the word. this isn’t something to be taken lightly.

if anyone wants the full story, here’s a link to a more-or-less twitter translation on the matter.

Happy Birthday to our Tricky Dahlia!

Last part of the 4th anniversary event~

Link to the recording is here: 4th Anniversary OTFDwY

4th Anniversary The Key to Daydreaming: Secret Key / / Spring’s Door / / Autumn’s Door / / Winter’s Door / / Opening the Future Door with You

Disclaimer:

A3! is owned by Liber’s Entertainment

Director:

Phew…

(For some reason, everyone is playing a performance from their roles in the Mixed Performance… What’s actually happening over here?

A new way to practice?

But, I didn’t hear anything about it, they didn’t tell me anything either…)

Manager:

Director~

About the key, have you figured anything about it?

Director:

About that, I still have no idea…

Manager:

There’s still one thing that you haven’t confirmed right?

Director:

Eh? But, I have asked all the rooms–

Manager:

Look, look, it’s over there!

Director:

Over there…?

Manager:

Mankai Theatre!

<Shifts to Mankai Theatre>

Director:

(Hmm, it’s true that I’m not sure whether the key belongs to the theatre or not…

The manager told me to go and check it out anyway, for the time being, I’m going to check around)

Hmm?

It’s written “Unlocked” here as well…

(I thought someone might be careless to  leave the theatre door open, but…)

<Shifts to Theatre>

Director:

…

(Eh? Someone’s inside?)

Excuse me, it’s currently off limit to any non-related personnel–

Hiro:

Speaking of related personnel, I’m one of them.

Zen:

A former one, it is.

Syu:

If you ask which one you are right now, definitely an intruder.

Kasumi:

Sorry!

It’s supposed to be a surprise–

Director:

–

I see, it’s just you guys… I’m glad.

But, what are the 4 of you doing over here?

Zen:

Isuke contacted me, asking me to retrieve a lost item he had found from my place.

I thought I could ask him send it, but he insisted for the 4 of us to come over.

Kasumi:

We settled on Hiro’s off day and we all came here together.

Syu:

A best-selling actor sure is busy.

Hiro:

Syu-san too, it’s just nice that there’s no performance going on right.

Director:

I see.

(I didn’t hear anything about it though…)

Then, that lost item—

!?

(A projector…?

There isn’t supposed to be such thing in the theatre though…)

<End of Chapter 6>

Yukio:

It’s supposed to be the courtyard next–

Hiro:

Good work.

Kasumi:

Congratulations!

Yuzo:

Geez, you’re finally here.

Syu:

You’re here faster than I thought.

Zen:

I thought you wouldn’t be here by today.

Troupe Member A:

Good work!

Troupe Member B:

We’ve been waiting for you!

Yukio:

Perhaps, this is finally the goal?

Hiro:

Yep, that’s it.

Zen:

Come, this is your award.

Yukio:

Woah, what is this?

An all-you-can-eat stew ticket? Alright! I’m so happy.

Hiro:

Oi oi… Are you serious?

Zen:

To be really happy over something that’s supposed to be a joke is…

Syu:

That’s why, I told you.

He’s not worth making fun of.

Yuzo:

Well, I thought this might happen.

Yukio:

Anyway, I didn’t expect to be able to see performances inside the dorm rooms after just picking up a key.

Director:

(It’s the same with my experience today…)

Syu:

Your face when you were opening the doors today was so interesting.

Hiro:

It was so hard for me not to laugh.

Yukio:

I can’t help it.

I was so surprised you know.

Kasumi:

We decided to surprise you to show our gratitude, and for Yukio-san, of course it has to be a performance right.

Zen:

Other than that, something that can make you happy is more or less just stew.

Yuzo:

That’s exactly the case.

Yukio:

Yeah. I was surprised, but everyone made a good performance, I had fun.

I think I cannot be happier as a director, to be able to be surrounded by all these wonderful actors.

Hiro:

That kind of thing, so you finally get it?

Syu:

You’re so slow.

Yukio:

It’s an improvement.

Next year, let’s get the Fleur Award.

I will definitely get everyone to a full bloom.

<Back to Theatre>

Director:

…

Zen:

That’s so nostalgic.

Hiro:

If I’m not wrong, we missed the nomination for the Fleur award, and we decided to encourage him because he was depressed.

Syu:

Kasumi gave a ridiculous name to it right.

Kasumi:

I don’t think it was embarrassing you know…

Hiro:

What was it again?

Kasumi:

It’s “Daydream Party”!

Zen:

… That was so embarrassing.

Hiro:

Daydre… Ugh.

Syu:

I couldn’t say it then, even now I still can’t get it out of my mouth.

Hiro:

A gathering of old men and party, really, you…

Kasumi:

Don’t say such thing…!

Zen:

Well, the plan itself was not a bad idea though.

Hiro:

It was a lot of work somehow.

Syu:

But, I didn’t expect to be shown that again in this kind of place.

Kasumi:

Furthermore, we are the recipient of the surprise this time.

Director:

Actually, it seems like they’re doing the same surprise to me–

Kasumi:

That key…

Syu:

Hmm, it seems that it’s getting carried over from the parent to the child.

Hiro:

Geez, don’t make it a tradition in this troupe.

Kasumi:

Haha, sounds like them all right.

Hiro:

Speaking of which, that means they’re all waiting over there aren’t they.

They’re waiting for Director to come.

Director:

Right.

Zen:

You better go quickly.

Hiro:

They will complain if you’re late.

Director:

Since you’re all here, why don’t we go together?

Syu:

We’ll just be the wet blanket if we come.

Hiro:

Yuzo and Reni also said that they will come over at night, once again, then, everyone will barge in uninvited.

Kasumi:

See, hurry up.

Director:

–Alright!

Kasumi:

…

Manager:

Everyone.

Hiro:

Oh, you’re here. The perpetrator.

Syu:

Anyway, I’m sure you’re the one who taught them about it.

Manager:

No, that’s not the case! It’s just by chance that the newborn leaders found the treasure chest with the tape.

It was locked, but I properly unlocked it–

Syu:

Ah, you were embarrassed because you laughed like an idiot and you sealed it away right.

Zen:

Speaking of which, the lost item that Isuke talked about, is it about this projector?

Hiro:

This, it’s the one we gathered our money for to buy right.

Kasumi:

We did it so all the troupe can use it fairly, it’s that one.

Manager:

Yes. A message from the newborn leaders, “We borrowed it for a little bit. Thank you so much.”

Syu:

Whether it’s by a strange law or just to be admirable…

They could have just use it without our permission.

Zen:

Surely, it was quite expensive, but it’s already old, I have nowhere to use it anymore.

Kasumi:

It’s fine for them to use it right.

Hiro:

But, this is also one of our memories…  For their sake, maybe it’s better for them to try their best and buy a new one of their own…

Zen:

Don’t be stingy.

Syu:

It’s immature.

Hiro:

I, it’s not like I’m being stingy–

Kasumi:

Well, well, I understand.

It’s full of different kind of memories.

Hiro:

… There’s no other choice.

Let’s give it to them because they’re poor.

Manager:

Umm, there’s a continuation of that message…

“We’re grateful to take over it”…

Hiro:

So they’re ready to take it from the beginning!

Geez, what a cheeky bunch.

Syu:

It’s not admirable at all.

Zen:

Well, young people should be like that after all.

Kasumi:

I have to tell everyone to put that much into their performance as well.

Hiro:

You’re right. I’ll charge them the full amount if they don’t get the Fleur award.

Zen:

As I thought, you’re just being stingy.

Hiro:

I’m not stingy! I’m just trying to set off the flames inside them!

Kasumi:

Ahaha.

<End of Chapter 7>

Director:

(I wonder if everyone’s really waiting for me in the courtyard…

I’m a bit nervous, but… I’m excited as well.

I wonder if Dad was feeling like this too back then)

<Shifts to Courtyard>

Director:

…

(There’s no one here…)

–!

Sakuya:

Welcome back, Director!

Tsumugi:

Welcome back.

Banri:

Good work.

Tenma:

You’re faster than I thought.

Taichi:

Good work!

Itaru:

Otsu otsu.

Citron:

Congratulations dayo~!

Chikage:

Welcome back.

Misumi:

Welcome ba~ck!

Banri:

Anyway.

Sakuya:

To “Daydream Party”–

Troupe Members:

Welcome!

Director:

Everyone… When did you prepare all of this?

Kazunari:

We tried our best so we don’t get found out.

Muku:

I thought we wouldn’t be able to make it in time, it was so nerve wracking!

Yuki:

In the end we barely made it though.

Kumon:

I’m glad we made it in time~!

Homare:

Then behold, it’s the long-awaited prize.

Azuma:

To Director who managed to reach the goal safely, we prepared a small gift for you.

Tasuku:

I think you can already make a guess if you watch that video.

Director:

Thank you.

Is it okay to open it now?

Omi:

Of course.

Director:

(Dad got an all-you-can-eat stew ticket, maybe it’s an all-you-can-eat curry ticket…)

…?

This is… spices?

Tsumugi:

Eh, umm, they’re flower seeds…

Sakyo:

I’m sure you were thinking about an all-you-can-eat curry ticket right.

Director:

I mean, well, I thought it’s a continuation from the all-you-can-eat stew ticket.

Omi:

It’s supposed to be that at the beginning.

Azami:

But it’s going to be boring if it’s the same right.

Tsumugi:

We were actually quite lost.

Banri:

The opportunity immediately widens when we try not to stick with curry.

Masumi:

I thought I would be able to put a stamped marriage certificate and a ring inside.

Tsuzuru:

That’s too much!

Itaru:

A game assortment maybe.

Citron:

Itaru’s hard FPS selection~

Tsuzuru:

Director’s definitely not going to be happy you know.

Juza:

I recommended a dessert platter.

Banri:

I told you that we don’t know when Director-chan will come, so they might go bad.

Hisoka:

I wished it was a marshmallow tower.

Tasuku:

That’s just something that you want to eat isn’t it.

Misumi:

I wanted to add triangles inside as well~

Tenma:

Everyone’s saying their own preferences too much.

Chikage:

I also recommended spicy spices.

Tsuzuru:

I thought that would be something that you enjoy as well.

Guy:

In the end, we came to the conclusion that it would be more fun if the content of the treasure box is unpredictable.

Tsumugi:

This seed, we don’t know what kind of flower will bloom from it.

Director:

I see.

In that case, it will be exciting to see it growing before it blooms.

Sakuya:

We watched the video from the first generation, and the adults were laughing as if they’re high school students, it looks like so much fun…

Even when they’re adults, they were able to find companions that they can spend times like that with, I’m sure it was an amazing thing to have.

We were having fun watching them as well, but…

Even though they were aiming for the Fleur award, when I remember that they got separated before it being granted, it became a bit lonely…

Tsumugi:

One day, we might end up walking towards different paths just like that.

Banri:

The possibility is not zero certainly.

Tenma:

That’s why, we will inherit the thoughts and wishes of the first generation, and decided once again, to win the Fleur award one day.

Tsumugi:

The reason that we’re all here today, is all thanks to Director.

Banri:

It’s thanks to Director-chan who broke the door to our heart.

Director:

I, I wonder if I was too forceful…

Tenma:

From now on, towards our future, we need you to stay with us, Director.

Sakuya:

One day, when the seeds finally bloom, I want Director to watch over it.

Director:

Yeah. I will definitely get everyone to a full bloom.

That’s why, let’s aim for the Fleur award together!

<End of Chapter 9>
