Seiyuu Associated with Arts Vision and I'm Enterprise
Arts Vision Chairman Arrested for Sexual Assault - Anime News Network
Quote:
Going by an unofficial Japanese source, Matsuda Sakumi (June 8, 1948-) came up with the concept of "idol seiyuu" ("idol voice actor") - Hayashibara Megumi, Mitsuishi Kotono, Shiratori Yuri, Shiina Hekiru, Horie Yui, Tamura Yukari, et al. - and along with King Records managing director Ootsuki Toshimichi (December 18, 1961-) started the "idol seiyuu boom" in the 1990s. (I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the preceding statement.) I'm Enterprise is reportedly another seiyuu talent agency with Matsuda Sakumi ties. Popular Female Voice Actors Associated with Arts Vision and/or I'm Enterprise Horie Yui Kuwatani Natsuko Tamura Yukari Asano Masumi Ueda Kana Saitou Chiwa Kugimiya Rie Takahashi Mikako Nakahara Mai Morinaga Rika Hayashibara Megumi Miyamura Yuuko Minami Omi Yukana Up-And-Coming Female Voice Actors Associated with Arts Vision and/or I'm Enterprise Fujita Saki Yahagi Sayuri Honda Youko Matayoshi Ai As of the date and time of this post, because of heavy Internet traffic, clicking on the links for Arts Vision and I'm Enterprise official websites and official web pages for the seiyuu below gives the same error messages at http://www.artsvision.co.jp/err.html and http://www.imenterprise.jp/err.html. Kotono Mitsuishi Personal Data @ ARTSVISION Hekiru Shiina Personal Data @ ARTSVISION Yui Horie Personal Data @ ARTSVISION Natsuko Kuwatani Personal Data @ ARTSVISION Yukari Tamura @ I'm Enterprise Masumi Asano Personal Data @ ARTSVISION Kana Ueda @ I'm Enterprise Chiwa Saito @ I'm Enterprise Rie Kugimiya @ I'm Enterprise Mikako Takahashi @ I'm Enterprise Mai Nakahara @ I'm Enterprise Rika Morinaga @ I'm Enterprise Saki Fujita @ ARTSVISION Sayuri Yahagi @ ARTSVISION Youko Honda @ I'm Enterprise Ai Matayoshi @ ArtsVision Big seiyuu talent agencies Arts Vision and I'm Enterprise reportedly carry a lot of clout in the Japanese animation industry. On the other hand, dramatic department - the talent agency which manages the career of Tanaka Rie - is tiny, with reportedly little clout in the Japanese animation industry. It is not even really a seiyuu talent agency. On the top page of its official website, dramatic department lists only three people whose careers it manages: 1) [theater, musical, concert] producer (enshutsuka) Kanno Koumei; 2) voice actor-singer (seiyuu-kashu) Tanaka Rie; and 3) lyricist and composer (sakushi sakkyoku) Douno Youko. (The top link is the company overview {kaishagaiyou}). Lacus Clyne aka Chii aka Suigintou does okay getting work in anime, though.

Anyway I'm going to sit back because this is going to be one heck of a scandal I would imagine, and one I think is unfortunately necessary. Just yesterday on the forums somewhere (I think it was the Lucky Star Voice Actor Appreciation forum), somebody said Japan doesn't respond to corruption unless it reaches the point where it can no longer be ignored and your's truly chimed in on it and the damage it could cause (and because of the fact that I'm borderline clairvoyant it actually comes true the next day, the part about the seedy underside of Japanese business getting exposed that is. Gotta give credit to Houkoholic for bringing it up too). Well that's the case here so I want to see what gets done about it and how much damage it does to the industry now that it has been allowed to explode onto the scene instead of being nipped in the bud.

It truly is a shocking event, 2ch is shaken to its core.
http://blog.yam.com/dormcat/article/10245652 And now the plot thickens. When Ochiai Yurika (Konomi - ToHeart2) quit ArtsVision on October 2006, everyone on 2ch was speculating on the reason of her sudden departure. Upon this news being revealed, she wrote the following message on her blog: http://yaplog.jp/yurisii/archive/2620 私は運がいいです。 - I'm very, very lucky. Unbelievable, no disrespect intended to anyone, but everything in our wicked hentai fantasies could (a big "could" at that) actually be true. |

Anyway apparently something can shake 2ch. Who would have thunk it? I mean I thought they were like the peak of solidarity and unyielding commitment to causes, such as buying campaigns, studios/companies and preferred moe girls. |

I don't know what effect this scandal will have on public perception of the industry and of the specific seiyuu who are repped by those agencies. I suspect they will escape untainted, in the long run, whatever may have happened to some of them in the past, but that they are probably not sleeping well right now. Fans, however, are on their side, calling for an end to "sexual harassment, power harassment, and 'pillow business'" in the industry. By the way, I would not look at the list of top seiyuu with each of these agencies to find people who had fallen victim to this practice. It would rather be among the names we hardly know.

Some of the voice actors might have had sex with the producers in secret to get in. Some might got assaulted but not yet been reported or too affraid. Well all the anime producers who make some real crappy harem animes have their own attitude,ego and character injected into the male protagonist. If youre an artist, youd know. Thats why i advise some people not to watch some animes because they are suck in terms of the way the present their anime and story. They get their passion from the appeal of the female VAs, molesting them reveals their real attitude. This higher up bastards taking advantage of common people.

This case is no more no less about someone abusing its power to make or break one person's career, like how it happen in any work from the next door's post office to Hollywood.

She could really use a serious role to bolster her career these days. Something not limited to being a cute girl with a sympathetic flaw. Wings of Rean was probably the only thing she was in that I ever really truly liked without having to accept certain things in order to enjoy it more. After that eeeeeeeehhhhh.... to much harem stuff. Instant gratification, but not a career advancing opportunity. Oh and Pretear was alright, but like I said she's in too much harem stuff normally.
At face value I believe she is innocent based on the innocent until proven guilty clause because she hasn't been convicted of any offence and it doesn't sound like she will be, because frankly its the bosses fault and he admitted his guilt. |

Why is it that in the west, people loves scandals (Paris Hilton,Britney Spears,etc) whereas in the east, those Otakus want their idol to be pure Virginal ?
Seiyuu-Otaks have to wake up to the fact that Seiyuus are humans too.Just being human entitled them to make mistakes in life, however big or small. I don't really buy the fact that Horie is all innocent. (She being in her 30's now, I don't think she'a all that.....innocent, if you get my drift.) |
