00:00My name is Ryu Kimura. I'm just your average plain high school guy, but
00:06Yeah
00:07Today's been a real challenge
00:10Hey you looking cute today. Oh
00:14That voice could it be huh?
00:18What?
00:19Can't you see I'm in the middle of something don't bother me
00:23That game Tokimeki boy, right?
00:27How do you know and?
00:29Seriously, I can play any game I want. Okay
00:33She's my stepsister Reina one year younger from my mom's remarriage five years ago
00:39We still haven't really clicked and our conversations are minimal my constant worry
00:46Thanks to you I missed a voice line
00:50Sorry Reina you really like that character in that game, huh like him but
00:58You're totally different from him, you know
01:02Don't bother me anymore
01:06That voice yep, it has to be
01:09Tokimeki boy just came out a fresh romantic simulation game
01:13You date 20 diverse characters from your classic prince to cute younger bros
01:18And even older dudes all while navigating school life and why am I so into this game you ask?
01:26Well, I'm the voice behind one of the capture targets righto
01:30Whoa, hearing it for real is kind of embarrassing. I
01:35Got into this job because my mom worried about my shy personality
01:39So I joined a theater troupe at age 3 while my friends dropped out one by one. I kept at it because I love acting
01:47Being someone else is kind of fun
01:50Acting's a blast. I even landed regular jobs in commercials and dramas, but
01:56During one play when a co-star threw an ad-lib at me. I froze up couldn't remember my lines
02:02What do I do? What was the next line? Come on Ryu after that incident. I
02:09Became afraid of doing unscripted acting and as a result, I stopped getting roles with recognizable names
02:15But still I'm grateful for getting those small supporting roles with fewer lines
02:21At that time the agency president introduced me to a voice acting job that could be done without showing your face
02:28Due to these circumstances
02:29I'm involved in this line of work and keeping at it on the down-low that I'm the voice behind those dreamy guys in romance games
02:37Especially from the family
02:39Never thought Reina would go all-in as a Tokimeki boy user
02:44But against my expectations, it looks like Reina's diving headfirst into Tokimeki boy
02:54And there goes more right-o merch piling up she likes him that much
03:00What?
03:02Nah, nothing
03:04Stop checking out a girl's room. Seriously
03:07My bad
03:09Rather than apologizing just be more mindful from the start
03:14Seriously, if you don't want to be seen maybe close the door
03:20Nah forget it my bad one day Reina dinner's ready
03:29Hey you listening it's dinnertime. Come on. I'm coming in
03:34Love you. Love you. Love you
03:43Feels like I caught my stepsis in a no-go zone
04:01Cut me some slack my life's already in the negative zone
04:05Hey
04:08How long you been there
04:11Just got here, but didn't hear or see nothing
04:14Erase it from your memory like right now
04:18Okay
04:19After that, I started getting emails from Reina pouring out her feelings for right-o and caught her smooching posters more often
04:27I
04:30Love you, too
04:39Feeling like it's some kind of punishment game
04:42But if Reina finds out that I'm the voice behind right-o, it might crush her dreams
04:47So I've decided to keep quiet about it
04:50Seeing a side of Reina the usually cool girl getting all into the game is a surprise
04:57Guess she's got a bit of a regular girl side after all
05:02Well, that's kind of too much lovey-dovey stuff
05:06Actually now that I think about it in these five years since becoming family
05:10I haven't really bothered to find out what interests Reina has, huh?
05:15One day. Hey, what's so great about Tokimeki boy? Anyway, huh?
05:22But just your typical romance sim, isn't it?
05:25Why are you suddenly
05:27Sure, I'm curious about the hidden character otaku does face behind the glasses too, but
05:34Are you also curious about what's behind my glasses?
05:38It's still a secret
05:40Other characters are pretty standard, right? Hey, you know way too much about Tokimeki boy
05:48Huh?
05:49I know right?
05:51Otakura won't take off his glasses and let's their affection levels maxed out
05:56So intriguing, right?
05:59Yeah
06:00Why the heck am I getting all worked up over my stepsis holding my hands?
06:05But gotta say my number one is still right. Oh, oh
06:10Right. Oh, yeah, he's cool. I guess it's not just about it being cool. It's right doesn't nurturing aura
06:19That's what makes him so charming
06:21Come on, this is just game talk
06:24but
06:26Righto's ultimate charm is definitely his voice
06:30You know
06:33Feeling all happy when he talks with that gentle voice
06:37Totally gives off that ideal big brother vibe
06:41ideal big brother
06:43Top grades good-looking and even tall a versatile guy
06:49But when it comes to talking about his little sister, he gets all cute, you know, Oh
06:55Righto's got a ton of stories like that
06:58Totally plus the difference between his voice before and after getting close to you is irresistible, you know
07:04Well compared to righto. I'm like the total opposite of an ideal big, bro
07:10Not really though
07:13Huh, you just got a few areas where you could step it up a bit. That's all
07:19Step it up. What's that supposed to mean?
07:22just
07:23You know geez
07:26Well, you could learn a thing or two from righto. Maybe
07:31Mmm, can't change my face. But if you say so, maybe I'll give it a shot
07:37Yeah, go for it
07:39Wait Raina actually looking at me like this. I never thought the day would come
07:44After that, we started talking about the game from time to time
07:48These choices here thinking from a guy's perspective. Which one do you think is the right answer?
07:55What?
07:56Hey, how would you like to be encouraged with words? Huh me?
08:02Honestly, it's just a game. So why not choose however you feel like
08:07But even in a game I don't want to be hated by righto, you know
08:11She's saying such cute stuff and then one time
08:26Well good for you but a bit too close ain't it
08:30You always lose yourself whenever it's about righto, huh?
08:34Well, this righto is super cool and with a voice, too
08:40You really love righto, huh? Yep. I do
08:45Feeling like I'm getting confessed to wait. No, it's about righto. Not me, right?
08:51I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
08:55Confessed to wait. No, it's about righto. Not me, right?
09:00What am I even doing having these thoughts about my stepsis?
09:05Is the distance between me and reina started bothering me a bit? Hey, don't crash here. Seriously
09:16If you're gonna sleep go to your room
09:18Oh righto
09:23Hey
09:24I love you
09:26so much
09:28This is bad
09:30What do you think of me?
09:33That's what I want to know the most
09:35Wonder if it's okay to keep hiding that i'm righto's voice actor
09:40One day with that worry on my mind
09:43Listen, there's gonna be a paid dlc with character voices released
09:48Yeah, there was talk about that
09:51Gotta get it on release day for sure
09:54But it's a paid one, right? Don't really need to
09:57Huh?
09:58You think it's not important for me?
10:02That's not what I meant
10:04Got it
10:05I totally know what you're really thinking now
10:08Nah, I just figured i'm not part of the main voice crew, but man that was a harsh comment
10:14Seriously, my bad
10:17Whatever
10:18From that moment reina didn't open up and chat with me like she used to
10:23a few days later
10:24a fan event
10:26Yeah for the announcement of the sequel to tokimeki boy
10:30but I
10:31They want you to join too
10:33Having a mysterious voice actor in the mix will stir up some buzz, you know
10:38buzz for real
10:40Plus naito is a popular character in the game and honestly, it won't fly without his voice actor
10:47On the day you'll be in character costumes and you can follow the script while emceeing
10:53You up for it?
10:55If i'm in costume, maybe reina won't recognize me even if she comes in that case
11:01I'll give it a shot
11:03On the day of the event
11:05All right, the stage and the audience are pretty far apart with this heavy makeup there's no way she'll figure out it's me
11:15That's reina she really did come but it's cool there's no way she'd recognize me
11:22Right. Oh look over here
11:25Thanks, everyone. Seriously. Appreciate it
11:32Thinking she didn't notice that's what I believed
11:36Been waiting for you, do you?
11:39What are you doing in a place like this
11:42Reina why the heck are you here?
11:45Your boss introduced me
11:47Said it's fine since i'm your family
11:49Boss, this is the one event. You absolutely shouldn't have let her backstage for
11:55There's still some makeup left, you know
11:59So
12:00Care to explain?
12:03Ugh
12:04I'm, sorry for keeping the voice actor thing a secret
12:08Oh
12:09So you're the one behind righto?
12:12Yeah, kind of messed up
12:14so
12:15Were you laughing at clueless me?
12:18No, that's not it
12:20Yeah, I kept quiet because I didn't want to mess up the image you have of righto
12:25for me
12:26You saying you liked my voice for righto made me genuinely happy
12:31Sure, it ended up being kind of deceiving but I didn't want to see you disappointed
12:36actually
12:38I had a hunch
12:40somehow
12:41I thought maybe you were righto's voice actor
12:46I hear your voice every day, you know
12:49Little speech quirks and stuff. I could tell right away
12:53Really?
12:54plus
12:56i'm
12:57Not disappointed
12:59Huh plus
13:02Even before we became siblings
13:05I've been watching you since you were on tv
13:08When I was staying at home alone or when school gets gnarly you were always there to boost my vibes
13:16Your smiles on tv kept my heart in check, you know
13:21She felt that way about me
13:23So when I found out you're my stepbrother from my dad's remarriage five years ago
13:28I was stoked
13:30Wanted us to be tight for sure
13:32but
13:33the view I met
13:36Wasn't cracking a smile
13:38More like a nervous wreck
13:40Totally not like the image I saw on tv
13:43Must have been when I was screwing up on stage losing my confidence
13:48I got some details from your mom, but honestly
13:52kind of bummed
13:54But you know what?
13:56Every time I peeked you studying those scripts
14:00You don't hate your acting not at all
14:03You hustle hard in every job
14:05I started thinking that
14:08I wanted you to have more confidence
14:11Really? You saw me like that
14:14but
14:15When I tried talking to you, I had no clue what to say
14:19So I started writing fan letters using a fake name
14:23You did that
14:24What can I say I
14:27I was totally into you
14:30Can't blame me, right
14:32Into me purely as a fan got it
14:36at least
14:38back then
14:39That's when
14:41I found out about righto with a voice like yours
14:45Just because he sounded like me was the first thing
14:48Yeah
14:50Even though we became siblings. We weren't chatting much
14:53And since righto's a character who cares about his sis
14:57Even though I knew it was fiction
14:59it
15:00It felt like you were talking to me
15:03So it became a blast when we started chatting about tokimeki boy
15:09honestly
15:10I wanted to talk to you
15:12Do you?
15:13Like I talked to righto in the game
15:16I
15:17Enjoyed talking to you too reina
15:20but
15:21I was the one rejecting it
15:23I wasn't straightforward always throwing shade
15:26Didn't expect you to be cool with me being distant
15:30Nah, I wasn't making an effort to know what you were thinking either. It goes both ways
15:36No
15:37I was pretty selfish
15:40idolizing you
15:42When I thought it was different and got all sad
15:45It was really self-centered
15:48so
15:49I gotta apologize
15:51I'm, really sorry
15:53for everything
15:55If you're apologizing I should have made time to talk to you too
15:59my bad
16:00Thanks for forgiving me
16:02We good now, right?
16:04Yeah
16:05But when did you realize I was righto's voice actor?
16:10duh
16:11Every time we talked about righto you'd get all jittery. It was pretty obvious, you know
16:16uh
16:18But seriously writing fan letters when we live together my sis sure beats around the bush
16:24What?
16:25You're no better to you
16:27Yeah fair enough, but let's be straight with each other from now on
16:31Got it
16:32No more hiding
16:34I'm openly rooting for you
16:37Thanks having you cheering for me is reassuring. That's how we finally started talking openly
16:43After that taking in reina's feelings I actively took on acting jobs in theater and movies again
16:50With the support of those who already recognized me as an actor. I even got more lead roles
16:57Reina my biggest fan kept cheering me on and with that I kept on working enthusiastically
17:04But we still had a major issue to tackle
17:07I like reina but
17:09We're step siblings as weird as it is
17:12Keeping this kind of not really dating relationship is honestly tough
17:17I'm sure reina feels the same
17:19Can I talk to both of you about something?
17:22Huh?
17:23We got together during a tricky time in both your kids puberty
17:27And our remarriage didn't include adopting each other's children
17:31so
17:32on the records
17:34We're not technically siblings, huh?
17:37Huh?
17:38Seriously?
17:39Wasn't hiding it but lately watching you two felt like it's time to spill
17:45So that means I can say I love reina without any hang-ups, right?
17:50Yeah
17:51Though we're still essential to each other our relationship seems like it's about to change once again
17:58Hi, it's me mill
18:01Thanks for watching my channel. I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too
