Subject: Don't get carried away with practical jokes!。。

For a VA, the audition room is a sacred ground.。。Whether they live or die, get or don't get the part, they devote themselves to this moment.。。If they don't get the part, they search for the next available act like a job hunter looking for the next offer.。。This series is a depressing work made by producers who don't understand this notion and make fun of it.。。I will briefly explain their practical joke (if it can be called that).。。A certain young newcomer was offered the role as an original character in an anime, not knowing that such a role was a lie.。。(The night before the reveal, I'd like to think that he was too nervous to sleep.)。。This person was summoned to the assembly hall with this false news, no rehearsing, no script, brought on stage to be shamed at.。。While he proudly introduced the character he would've been voicing, the screen projection changed, and on it his involvement was revealed to be false.。。On that screen, his earnest acting was ridiculed and laughed at.。。But for him, it was probably not a laughing matter. The bitterness that I heard in his voice still resounds in my ears.

This scene took the sanctity of auditions and violated it.。。This person took an interview and passed it. In that moment, a contract was made.。。This should've meant that he overcame this trial.。。However, this promise was completely overturned. An entirely verbal promise, it seems.。。The actual work shouldn't be rated based on this! The characters aren't bad! Only those guys!。。That's how it should be. The work should be evaluated based on its own merits.。。And yet I still feel that I should condemn this series.。。After being alive, what is the most important thing? This is a question with many answers.。。However, perhaps there are many people who build trusting relationships with others.。。When going into society, everyone realizes the difficulty with raising trust in another.。。Building trust is difficult.。。But the destruction of it can happen in a moment. Truly in the blink of an eye.。。This series has lost a lot of things.。。Remember - the title of the series is "Kokoro Connect."。。Would the characters really do such a thing as this?。。
