This morning on X (Twitter) I found out some absolutely wild news:

I’m a seiyuu fanboy, and I know most voice actors don’t have it easy — plenty of them can’t make a living off it. But my working assumption has always been that voice acting is a job where, even if the pay is bad, most people keep the title for life. Meaning: you might stop wanting to do it, you might take fewer gigs, but you don’t just come out and declare you’re quitting forever. Even when it happens, it’s rare. And yet here we are with a retirement, and from a CV I actually remember: Shimura Yumi (志村由美). In visual novels she’s better known as Inoue Hana (井ノ上花).
