EP.173 - 2023 Wasn't The Best Year For New 2D Projects
2023 was the very first year since 2014 in which less than five 2D music projects were launched.
Given how we all got used to many 2D music projects launching per year, it sounds crazy to have so few launching in 2023.
It seems that after getting dozens of new projects per year since 2015 - to the point of oversaturation - things have started to slow down.
But why is that happening?
What could be behind that?
Do we have fewer seiyuu available to voice characters?
Are projects getting more expensive? Are seiyuu actually charging more?
Or are fans’ expectations higher than ever before?
Well, this episode is all about what was once a trend and is now declining quickly.
And I got answers for you in this episode!

EP.171 - The Rise of Digital Singles in the World of Seiyuu Artists and 2D Groups
Digital singles have become the latest trend for male seiyuu artists and 2D groups. However, most of the times, these songs make their way into the full CD releases down the road.
When a seiyuu artist or 2D group releases multiple digital singles leading up to an album and that album includes all those songs and barely any new, aren’t digital singles ruining the fun that should be reserved for full-length albums?
In this episode, let’s talk about what digital singles are, how important are they for an artist’s career, and how this trend both keeps seiyuu artists’ music alive but also removes all the novelty of their full-length albums.

EP.167 - Let's talk about Shouta Aoi's "ECLIPSE"
Although it easily goes under the radar for many fans of male seiyuu music, Shouta Aoi's "ECLIPSE" is a genuinely solid single. But in this episode, more than talking into deep detail about "ECLIPSE", I ended up going into a bit of detail into what is Shouta Aoi's best song to date, the 7-minute long, post-rock ballad, "I am".
This is an unscripted episode and trigger warning, "I am" is a song that tackles themes of mental health in there. If you feel emotionally fragile, I do not recommend you to listen to that song.

Easily regarded as one of the best albums to be released in the past 20 years by a male seiyuu artist, Soma Saito's "in bloom" is no stranger to accolades, positive reviews, and a whole lot of respect by fans, casual listeners and even the Japanese press.
In many ways, "in bloom", Saito's 2nd full-length album released in 2020, is dark, intense and deeply emotional. It feels like going on a journey and what a journey that is!

EP.158 - Small Budget, Big Dreams: The Secrets to Success in 2D Music Projects
Big dreams and ambitious concepts can make a 2D music project popular but quite frequently, the money invested in each project ends up determining which projects stay up and remain active and which disappear from the public eye.
But there is much more to it.
Let's dive into detail, creating 2 fictitious 2D music projects - one with 100.000€/$ and another with 1.000.000€/$ and see how those budgets impact the quality of a project and where we have to make concessions in order for it to be launched without debt. We will be saving money on one of them and overspending on the other.

EP.155 - Understanding boundaries: Loving seiyuu
In this episode let's talk about fans' love for seiyuu and the boundaries that should be respected.
Loving seiyuu is okay. Trying to meddle in their personal lives, wishing them hell when they announce their marriage, or when they are going to become parents is not okay.
From stalking to spreading rumors, asking seiyuu to apologize for being happy, wishing them to divorce their significant others, and shifting from supporting to actively "hating" seiyuu, there have been plenty of situations in which a simple piece of news ends up becoming hell for seiyuu when it shouldn't.

An underrated gem, MEDICODE's self-titled debut CD "MEDICODE" continues to be one of the best showcases of what versatility as a singer or even what being a vocal chameleon means for male seiyuu.
With a young, still unknown, Soma Saito on vocals, the visual-kei band, part of the FlyME Project, was doing unique things in the music industry. From the faux baritone technique to the first time a seiyuu did screamo in a 2D music project and even Saito sounding nothing like himself, this CD is filled with highlights.
In this episode, you and I revisit it and I talk extensively about my passion for it and visual-kei rock music.

EP.148 – The Old Unspoken Rule: 7 Years of Career = Solo Artist Debut
Up until 2019, there was a unique unspoken rule that dictated who were the male seiyuu that could have an opportunity to make a solo debut.
For years, only seiyuu with at least 7 years of career as a voice actor could get that golden chance that now can be obtained almost right after making a debut in the voice acting industry.
So why was that happening? Did it make any sense? Who were the seiyuu making debuts following such rule? These and more questions will be answered in this episode.

This is an unscripted episode that feels more like a regular conversation - more so than usual - in which I cover the 4 CDs that impressed me, why I do not take into account 2D music projects that are always active, why those 2D music projects should make strategic pauses to regroup and be more welcoming to new fans, as well as the particular things about December and why artists usually didn't release music in the last two weeks of it.
To wrap up, expect a conversation about why the 1st quarter of 2023 was perfect for male seiyuu artists with a smaller fanbase to make an impact and why they should avoid releasing music at the same time as Mamoru Miyano, Toshiki Masuda, Soma Saito, and Yuma Uchida.
All of this is neatly wrapped up in a 24-minute episode!

EP.143 - Male Seiyuu that Could Impress as Acapella Singers - Part 1
After talking about what is acapella music, how technical it is, and why seiyuu performing this music genre are among the most technical out there, it’s time for me to talk about the male seiyuu who I wish were performing acapella music more frequently regardless if it is solo or as part of a 2D group.
This is an episode based loosely on several comments here on the YouTube channel as well as on the website about seiyuu’s singing skills. Most of you recognize talent when you hear it and you frequently mention who you’d love to either make a solo debut, join 2D music projects, or most recently, perform acapella music.
Also big thank you to the viewer “Unwelcome” for inspiring this episode as a whole.

EP.142 - How Expensive is it to Create and Launch a 2D Music Game?
In this episode, you and I will be talking about Japanese mobile game development, especially 2D music games, and the costs associated with creating games like Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live, IDOLiSH7, and Hypnosis Mic Alternative Rap Battle.
You and I will explore the reasons why some 2D music games can be expensive to make, including factors such as high production values, voice acting costs, and localization efforts.
Finally, I’ll talk briefly about the current trends in Japanese mobile game development, as well as opportunities for innovation and growth in the industry - which may raise even more the costs of creating 2D music games.

Now it’s time to talk about the 2D music project that is betting a whole lot on acapella music, and is yet to have a rival project stealing away its thunder, aoppella!?

EP.140 - Seiyuu Acapella: The Perfect Blend of Voice Acting and Music
We’ve got all types of music, from more intense to minimalistic, overly produced or natural performances, and all types of singing voices from male seiyuu. There are so many awesome voices out there and every day, more and more seiyuu join the industry flaunting beautiful or powerful voices and awesome techniques to boot.
But have you stopped for a bit to notice that we seldom have opportunities to enjoy listening to our favorite singers among seiyuu just…sing without distractions?
That’s where acapella music makes its big entrance.

EP.139 – 5 April Fools pranks by male seiyuu that were crazy
April Fools'.
The day in which male seiyuu tend to go a bit crazy or insanely creative for their own amusement.

With April Fools just around the corner, let’s check the times in which some of your favorite male seiyuu perhaps took things a bit too seriously or even went all out to fool us all.

EP.138 – 2023 Will be an Awesome Year for Fans of Male Seiyuu Artists
Seeing as this year has kicked off rather slowly for fans of male seiyuu artists, you'd be mistaken to think the rest of the year will be as uneventful.
Truth is, 2023 has the potential to become a year to remember given how many high-profile male seiyuu artists and bands have yet to release a full-length album or it has been a while since they last released a full-length album.
In this episode let's go over 10 CDs that will probably be released in 2023 and 1 CD that is already confirmed for a release.

EP.127 - 7 Albums that Went Under the Radar in 2022
After talking about the best songs and albums by male seiyuu and 2D music projects released last year, it’s time to cover the albums that I feel were completely overlooked yet, they are awesome and deserve all your love and attention.
From insanely technical performances to laidback ones, from pitch-black songs to aggressive rock anthems, emotional ballads, and passionate tunes. There was a little bit of everything, catering to fans of the widest variety of music genres, voices, singing styles, and overall group vibes.
These are just some, of the various CDs I loved in 2022 that, unfortunately, due to how the projects they are from are not that popular, never got to be in the spotlight as they deserved. Please do check them out if you can:

Seiyuu are taking singing incredibly seriously, some of them being insanely innovative doing things no other seiyuu artist has done.
Some 2D groups have a defined, robust identity that they are proud of and we, as fans, are seeing them grow before our eyes (and ears).
In this episode, let's celebrate the best songs released by 2D groups and male seiyuu artists in 2022.

While being signed to a big talent agency is both an accomplishment and an opening of the doors to a career that can, potentially, be a really good one, there are other options for seiyuu when it comes to management.
Smaller or independent talent agencies can provide a more balanced management experience and, at times, are the solution to the low pay that seiyuu get when signed by big talent agencies.
In this episode let's talk about a couple of independent seiyuu talent agencies.

Much has changed in the seiyuu industry since the 90s. Some things for the better, others for the worst. From not showing their faces to having to showing them in order to get famous even down to what is now expected of newcomers, the voice acting industry in Japan is almost unrecognizable from the 90s up until now.
In the previous episode, you and I got to know the insights from popular seiyuu Megumi Ogata about the changes and how she sees those impacting today’s generation of seiyuu.
In this episode let’s check what Kouchi Yamadera feels has changed in the industry.

Over the years and since 2000, seiyuu units have been a constant and were, for some time, even a trend. However, not all survived the test of time, others ended up disbanding, while others never managed to be successful, to begin with.

What happened that made seiyuu units both a trend as well as a niche in a span of a decade? Get to know this and more in this episode!

It is a matter of going past the buzzworthy names, the young rising talents, and stars and you’ll come across the stars of “old”, the old-school talents that took their first steps when the music industry sneered at voice actors and what they could be able to achieve. Time to celebrate the veterans that "still got it".
