I distinctly heard the word "Vocaloid" during the guy's phone call to Sorata, so it is fairly clear that it's a reference to Project Diva.
This kind of stuff happens all the time in research and in creative industries. I've seen two first-hand accounts of research mates whose findings could have turned into a fairly big publication, only to find that someone else had published the same thing just a few weeks earlier. |

Way too much drama(as expected of the second "Toradora") Sorata, please rebound soon, you have a very good friend named Dragon who can help you make a game that will make the company cry like a baby.
Out of all the characters, Nanami doesn't have many options left to pursue her dream(seiyu), and damm, what's with this show rubbing in that hard work doesn't matter in the end? IIRC, there's only one instance that hard work payed off, two if you count the game for the school festival, and that's when Kanda's idea for a game was considered but somehow was rejected in the end i think. Note that I'm not too sure about the events that I mentioned or anything else for that matter. My tears for Nanami are blinding my eyes. T.T |

It's a little too conspiracy theory to say they made up an entire interview segment, wasted time with pretend meetings with Sorata, just to send a letter to Mashiro. That just sounds a bit more dubious to me. Seems probable that they decided to go with a game that is a much safer product in terms of making a profit and at the same time decided to try and secure a talented artist at the same time. After all while Sorata's game wasn't going to fly Mashiro's art can be applied to another game.

It's not a wasted time for them, if they can put their hand on super skilled genius.
And fujisawa's behavior on first interview and during meeting is enough obvious, he was more interested in artworks than sorata game (he insisted more times to asking sorata more drawings from shiina). furthermore, rejecting sorata game and sending in stride a job offer to shiina is clearly indelicacy. Knowing civility and respect significance in japan, this action indicate that sorata himself was insignificant/trivial for game publisher. |

ahhh dat bitter feeling. It is like in a MMO game, no matter how hard you farm an item, it wont drop for you while some people just got it after killing the first mob/boss. Like an support character in every story always get the short end of the stick.

He is not in charge of the company, but he is doubtless member of executive staff (CEO assistant, deputy chairman).
In game industry, it's not rare (i would say it's really common) that executives staff work in one of their department too (designer, programmer, etc ) Last edited by thor94; 2013-03-06 at 19:55. |

I don't buy that this was anything other than that. Might a company mess with someone like Sorata to try and secure a Mashiro? Sure, but doing it this way wouldn't work. It doesn't increase their odds to carry this on and then send a letter after cutting ties. If they wanted to secure Mashiro, they get her the letter before the meeting under the pretense of doing designs for a few games including Sorata's if it passes. But cutting him off and then sending a letter is a near futile effort of a company trying to salvage something out of it. Go with the safe rhythm game and losing the artist is a win/loss. If the unlikely occurs and the artist takes up the job despite Sorata getting shut down it's win/win. I really don't see a conspiracy here.

In areas requiring specific habilities same as sport or art (including cinema, comics/mangas and games), hard work is very rarely rewarded if you have no natural skills. |

School is also about preparing students for the real world. Last I checked, it's very tough out there. There's the old adage, "Nice guys/girls finish last." Nanami is proof of that. And while Fujisawa-san is a fundamentally kind man, he chose to exploit Sorata's game proposal to engage Shiina's services.
If Nanami and Sorata come out of this experience thinking that people can be cruel - even the kind, sensitive ones - if they learn that they will be judged not simply on how much hard work and effort they put in, or their determination and content of their characters, but on how they look, how they sound, and how much money they can attract, then they have truly received an education, one that will serve them well in life. It's a free society. People are allowed to choose their friends, and companies can choose who they hire. Sometimes it's very ugly. Sometimes it's very unfair. That's... LIFE. |

Argh.
I get it, we're meant to feel bad for Sorata. But seriously, the dude has had the same kind of thing whack him in the face at least twice now. Probably three times. And yet he still has the same OMG MY LIFE IS HELL WHY DOES MASHIRO GET ALL THE ATTENTION ARGGHHHHH attitude that he had the last time this sort of crap happened. What happened to the resolution to that panic attack? |: Just felt c(ontrived)rappy. Feel genuinely bad for Nanami though. Oh well, at least the Sorata x Nanamin ship got some wind in its sails. |

It's not the same, anybody could tell that this was a much bigger deal.
Your mistake was to think it's only about one problem, as if humans can separate their issues without them compounding on one another.
