Get well, Kitamura-san!
It's good that Satou-san stepped in as a replacement.

This game is still going on? I often wonder what else is there to tell. Well, as complex as this series is there's always more to add.

Hope he gets better. One of my favorites, ever. At least she's being replaced with a fantastic seiyuu as well. I hate it when people get replaced :\

Eri Kitamura has been a great live performer at Animelo Summer Live and Animax Musix also. I hope that she returns to full health and singing and voice work soon.

The managers need to tell their idols to get some more rest, they are dropping like flies yet again.

The voice cast includes:
Souichiro Hoshi as Keiichi Maebara


It has been quite a while since I last saw a VN with a voiced protagonist.

This is the second time she's had to take off work due to illness in the past 3 months, with the first being the Cross Ange premiere. I hope nothing serious has happened to her.

I agree. They used them like robots. Rolling Eyes

It looks like that this is the end of Eri Kitamura's voice acting career.

"The novelty from the last episode of Royal Radio is a laminated card and the sticker is Ghost Chest! Also, it appears that right now it's being said that Kitamura is very ill, but what people are talking about isn't current. We're sorry for causing worry. She's doing her best at work today, just as usual!"

As this is an official photo from KitaEri's management, I'm guessing (personal guess) that the recording for this game was done in September, when she got ill and couldn't attend the Cross Ange premiere.

Thanks for the translation!!

So, Eri-san is better now, but due to illness back in September she was unable to do some voice parts back then?

This is more of a "complete collection" of all the PC, PS2, and DS arcs into one game. I actually need to finish the eight arc, and can't play the PS2 or DS storylines since they were never released in English.

However, I think I'll buy the PS3 version of this when it comes out. I'm studying Japanese, and the fact that it's fully voiced makes things far easier. Now I'll be able to know the pronunciations of kanji, while being able to repeat them with the game's backlog anytime I want.

This sounds like an extremely long game though. Just the original eight arcs alone is like 60 hours. With everything else included now, this sounds upwards of 80 hours. Shocked
