[Beautiful music~ Like listening to celestial music, it instantly soothes the ears!]
No matter how many times I listen to it, it still sounds ridiculous. This person's Chinese is even more standard than mine.
[This pronunciation is too clear, it actually lacks a certain charm, hahaha]
[My mom asked me why I was kneeling in front of the computer QAQ]
"The sky is the color of rain after a storm, and I am waiting for you~ The moonlight is scooped up, blurring the ending~"
"Like a timeless piece of blue and white porcelain, beautiful in its own right~ Your eyes are filled with a smile~"
After finishing the song "Blue and White Porcelain," Qingshui Tou took a sip of Pangdahai water and said, "Anyone want to hear 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion'? Wait a moment, I'll play you a different version."
While singing, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Shen's version of "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" would not be released until the CCTV Summer Concert three years later.
Compared to Jay Chou's original version, that version definitely has a different charm and a refreshing feel.
"Your calligraphy, like flowing clouds and running water, is as delicate as your light footsteps as you push open the door under the moonlight."
"In a rush, a thousand-year-old stele is easy to make a rubbing, but your beauty is hard to capture. The original is lost, to whom can my true heart be given?"
When Shimizu Toru opened his mouth, his voice was even more ethereal than when he sang "Blue and White Porcelain" earlier, almost reaching the realm of a child's voice.
The audience, who had never heard him sing in this voice before, were immediately struck by an unparalleled impact.
Many people watching the live stream with headphones felt a tingling sensation on their scalp and their arm hairs stood on end.
My God! What an amazing voice!
[Zhou Shen? Is that you, Zhou Shen?!?]
Just when I think I understand the main package well enough, it always manages to come up with something new.
[Zhou Shen, just bear with it, I'll get you out of here soon!]
If the first three minutes of the song were just a pleasant surprise for the audience, then the ending allowed everyone to experience the charm of the music.
"Unrelated to romance, I'll leave this preface for your reply."
"Handwritten words are without shame, unafraid of worldly right and wrong—"
The transition from weak to strong in this part of the melody evokes a feeling of a phoenix crying out as jade shatters in Kunlun, enough to conjure up a heart-wrenching love story lasting hundreds of thousands of words.
"Rain patters on banana leaves, and has been pouring down for several more nights."
"I wait for the spring thunder, to remind you who you love; I wait for the spring thunder, to remind you who you love."
As the final, sudden burst of operatic singing faded away, viewers who were originally focused on listening to the song and shouldn't have been distracted by sending comments suddenly started frantically typing on their keyboards.
Fortunately, Shimizu Toru has a secondary computer specifically for viewing the bullet comments; otherwise, with his current 2080 specs, it would definitely lag for more than ten seconds.
[Ahhhhh!! It's so, so beautiful! It's simply heavenly!!]
[So beautiful it leaves you speechless! You only realize how little you know when you need it!]
I hereby declare that this version of the Lanting Preface is the best of all covers!
[Where's the slice man?! I'll give you three minutes; I need to see this slice!!]
Along with the explosion of comments, there were also SC (Super Star) messages and gifts. After thanking them a few times, Shimizu Toru realized she couldn't possibly thank them all, and quickly advised:
"Everyone should consume rationally. It's fine for rich guys, they don't need to skimp on these small amounts. There's no need for them to squeeze money out of their living expenses to tip me."
He's not short of money now. Not to mention that his Bitcoin has more than doubled in value, he's still seeing a steady stream of new Bitcoins coming out every day.
The money he earns from live streaming, while perhaps not entirely unimportant, certainly only accounts for a small portion of his income.
"Let's continue singing. We've already sung two of Jay Chou's songs. Next, I'll sing one of my own."
Toru Shimizu has only released one Chinese song so far. As soon as he finished speaking, the comments section provided the answer: "My sadness is made of water."
"Disgusted by the rainy weather, pitiful messy hair, new shoes covered in mud, goldfish playing in my socks~"
"Can I remove my tear ducts? My eye makeup is completely ruined. Lately, things haven't been going well for me, and I hate that Mercury is retrograde again~"
Actually, I don't really like bikinis, and I don't really like eating fish either.
After the song was finished, someone immediately asked in the comments when a new original Chinese song would be released.
After thinking about it, Shimizu Toru realized that so much time had passed, it was indeed time to sing another song.
As for which poem to copy, he quickly came up with an idea.
"Tong Tong" was released by the band DOUDOU in 25 and sparked a wave of fan creations on Bilibili!
Anyway, the lead singer of this band is Zhan Bing, so why not copy him?
Is this song at risk of being taken down?
Just like with Taylor Swift, the fact that her songs were taken down proves their quality.
Moreover, there's nothing wrong with the lyrics themselves. If you insist on interpreting them as implying someone is contemplating suicide, then all I can say is that Shimizu Toru has done a good job of reading comprehension.
Volume 1: Chapter 155 Demon Slayer (Voice Acting)
In late August, the summer heat in Tokyo had not yet subsided.
As scheduled, Shimizu Toru arrived at the recording studio for "Demon Slayer" half an hour early.
Compared to the more lighthearted and adventurous style of "Dr. Stone," the recording studio atmosphere of "Demon Slayer" is obviously more serious and focused.
After all, the original work is full of heart-wrenching plot twists in the later stages, and even in the early stages, there are many emotional climaxes, so voice actors need to spend time preparing their emotions beforehand.
It's impossible to be laughing with friends one second and then immediately be able to do a crying scene the next while entering the recording studio. That would be a clear case of schizophrenia, wouldn't it?
Goto, voiced by Toru Shimizu, doesn't have a huge role, but he's one of the main characters after the Spider Mountain arc.
While recovering at the Butterfly House, she plays a crucial role in receiving patients and explaining the important concept of "Complete Concentration and Constant Concentration," serving as a pivotal element in advancing the plot.
After signing in, he sat quietly in a corner of the waiting area, habitually observing his surroundings. Voice actors arrived one after another, most of whom were familiar seniors to him.
"Oh my? And who is this?" A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of curiosity, rang out.
Shimizu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hanae Natsuki with a friendly smile—the voice actor for the tough-looking Kamado Tanjiro.
Startled, he quickly stood up and bowed: "Hello, Hanae-senpai. I am Shimizu Toru, who is here today to voice Goto. Please take care of me."
"Shimizu-kun? Ah! You mean Morishima Hodaka from Weathering With You and Nanaboru from Argonavis, right?" Hanae Natsuki had clearly done his homework, or rather, Shimizu Toru had been making headlines lately:
"I never expected you to voice 'Demon Slayer'! Welcome, welcome! I saw your performance at the Budokan before, it was great!"
"You flatter me. I still have a long way to go. I will try my best not to hold everyone back today."
Shimizu Toru maintained a very humble attitude. Hanae Natsuki, as one of the top voice actors in recent years, has demonstrated remarkable acting skills and professionalism that are widely recognized in the industry and deserve respect.
"Relax, everyone in Demon Slayer is easy to get along with," Hanae Natsuki encouraged with a smile, probably thinking of his own early days in the industry.
Just then, there was another noise at the door, and a cute-looking woman walked in. It was Akari Kitō, the voice actress for Nezuko Kamado.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Kito."
"Good afternoon, Hanae-san." Akari Kito responded softly, her gaze falling on Toru Shimizu, and she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"This is Shimizu Toru, who will be paired with Goto today."
"Hello, Kito-senpai, I'm Shimizu Toru." Shimizu Toru bowed again. ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh, that's what happens when you debut late; there are seniors everywhere.
"Hello, Shimizu-kun." Akari Kito gave a slight smile. "Nice to meet you."
One by one, the other main voice actors arrived, including Hiro Shimono, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, and Saori Hayami.
"Matsuoka-senpai, it's been a long time!" Upon seeing the One God again, Shimizu Toru took the initiative to greet him.
"It has indeed been a long time, has it been several months?"
"Yeah, the last time we met was in 'The Rising of the Shield Hero,' back in April."
"It's been so long already, time really flies."
The only god seemed a little reserved. After greeting everyone, he sat down in a seat a little further away, vividly demonstrating what social anxiety is.
The main problem is that he is not only afraid of women, but also feels uncomfortable around men who are too good-looking.
Of course, if Shimazaki Nobunaga hadn't frequently taken the initiative to chat with him, the two might not have become well-known best friends in the industry.
Shimizu Toru was actually a little excited. Looking around today, there wasn't a single unknown person. Even the minor supporting roles were played by well-known voice actors. This was the top lineup in the industry.
The sound supervisor quickly gathered everyone into the recording studio. Shimizu Toru took a deep breath and tried his best to get into the best state.
The character of Goto needs a calm, reliable tone with a slightly explanatory quality; it can't be too flamboyant, nor can it lack presence.
When it was his turn, Shimizu Toru focused his mind and cleared his head to avoid making a mistake on his first appearance.
This sparked a nationwide frenzy of discussion, as the nineteenth episode of Hinokami Kagura, which was hailed as a masterpiece due to its superb visual presentation, had already aired.
The episode everyone is going to record is episode twenty-one, where Lower Moon Five "Rui" has been defeated, and the reinforcements are beginning to clean up the mess.
On the split screen in front of Shimizu Toru, there is a picture of a Demon Slayer Corps boy who has become bald due to venom, and then the scene switches to Goto holding a syringe.
"Ah~ Butterfly Lady's antidote is really effective."
"Yes, and he mobilized resources immediately after assessing the situation here. He's truly a remarkable person, and so is he..."
As the voice actress voicing another member of the Hidden faction finished speaking, the scene shifted to Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was already unconscious.
Shimizu Toru asked with a hint of curiosity, "Oh? That guy?"
"Thanks to him for defeating the ghost, the spread of the poison has slowed down a bit."
The panel then cuts to the Demon Slayer Corps members wrapped up like mummies, and Shimizu Toru quickly says, "Okay, that's about it, right? Good luck~ Everyone should be saved this way."
"But I still want to finish my work quickly and leave here as soon as possible."
"Yes, because it stinks horribly here."
Neither of them made any mistakes, and they nailed it in one take. The sound supervisor nodded and said, "Okay, Shimizu-kun, that's good. The emotion and tone are very accurate."
Shimizu Toru breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully nothing went wrong: "Thank you for supervising, I'll head out now."
The next part mainly focuses on Tanjiro, Giyu Tomioka, and Shinobu Kocho's confrontation, so he's not involved for the time being.
As soon as he stepped out of the recording studio, Takahiro Sakurai, the voice actor for Giyu Tomioka, patted him on the shoulder with a smile:
"You're really on fire lately, newbie! It was worth it when I first saw your potential; my judgment was spot on!"
Hearing this roundabout self-praise, Saori Hayami couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Stop being so narcissistic, hurry up and go inside."
The moment the two entered the recording studio, a memorable scene unfolded.
Giyu Tomioka: I am not disliked.jpg
Also entering the recording studio were Hanae Natsuki, Kitō Akari, and Ueda Reina, who voiced Kurihana Kanao.
Only after the storyline of the group came to an end did Shimizu Toru rejoin the recording studio with the other three voice actors who voiced the members of the Hidden group, as well as the One God.
"There is a wound on his forehead."
"Okay, tie them up."
"Is his jawbone fractured?"
"Hmm? It's a bit pitiful to tie him up like that?"
Then two other infiltrators discover Inosuke hanging upside down and carry him away.
"I did nothing. I couldn't even defeat a single demon on my own."
"Perhaps I'm not that strong..."
The next segment features Zenitsu Agatsuma, voiced by Hiro Shimono, explaining the setting of the Hidden One through his inner monologue after waking up.
It wasn't until the very end that Shimizu Toru reappeared, trying to wake the unconscious Tanjiro.
"Wake up, hey! Wake up, wake up, hey, hey!!"
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Hey! How long are you going to sleep?! Can't you get up now?!"
"This is right in front of the pillar!"

Ever since I got the sheep, I feel like my maximum health has decreased by half.
In the past, minor illnesses like colds would get better even without medication.
I've been taking medication for several days in a row, but I still have a stuffy nose, headache, and cold sweats.
