Voice Actresses Yuko Natsuyoshi and Saori Hayami Return to 'THE FIRST TAKE' for 'World is Mine' Remix

Voice actresses Yuko Natsuyoshi and Saori Hayami are set to return to the popular YouTube channel "THE FIRST TAKE," which captures artists' raw performances in a single, unedited shot. For the channel's 666th episode, the duo will perform "World is Mine CPK! Remix"—an insert song from the anime *Chou Kaguya-hime!*—featuring a special arrangement unique to this appearance.

This marks their second visit to the channel following their performance of "ray Chou Kaguya-hime! Version," which garnered over 3.7 million views and widespread acclaim for their exceptional vocal range and emotional delivery. Due to the massive success of their previous video, fans have been eagerly awaiting this follow-up, which features a remix of the fan-favorite "World is Mine."

Social media platforms are already flooded with anticipation, with users calling the collaboration a "legendary pairing" and expressing their excitement for the 10:00 PM premiere. Yuko Natsuyoshi, who has a proven track record in music-centric projects, joins Saori Hayami to showcase their synchronized chemistry in the high-pressure "one-take" format.

The performance, which promises to evoke the energy of the anime's live scenes, will premiere today, May 13th, at 10:00 PM JST. Given that both are considered some of the finest vocalists in the voice acting industry, this "chemical reaction" in front of a single microphone is a must-watch for fans of anime and music alike.

The context

In the Japanese entertainment industry, voice actors (seiyuu) often have significant singing careers, performing theme songs and character-based music that frequently tops the Oricon charts. "THE FIRST TAKE" is a prestigious YouTube channel that invites top-tier artists to perform a song in a single take, emphasizing raw talent without the safety net of post-production editing. The appearance of voice actresses on this platform highlights the high level of vocal skill required in the modern anime industry. The songs mentioned here are associated with characters in the anime series *Whisper Me a Love Song* (Sasayaku You ni Koi o Utau), where Natsuyoshi and Hayami provide the singing voices for the fictional band Lorelei, performing within the play-within-an-anime titled *Chou Kaguya-hime!*.

2021 Japan Derby Winner Shahryar (5-Year-Old Stallion) Retires from Stud Duty

It has been revealed that Shahryar (5-year-old stallion), winner of the 2021 Japan Derby, has retired from stud duty. This unusually early retirement, coming just this year after he began his career as a stallion, has sent shockwaves through the horse racing fan community. The primary reason for his retirement was an extremely low conception rate.
