Restraining order got you down? Now you can still hear your crush's voice again.

Creepy? Oh yeah. Total stalker bait. These poor idols are so pimped out.

A very small part of me feels sorry for the routinely over-fleeced Otaku/addicts of Japan, the rest of me is glad I don't have to worry about being stalked by the nutballs among them.

Wow, this just is creepy, no matter how you look at it.

I feel bad for those voice actors in Japan, while there are some nice and reasonably sane fans, among them are the few, the proud, the "interesting" side of anime fandom.

Japan sure does cater to the creepy side of anime fandom don't they.

But hey now at least you can hear your favorite voice actor, even with a restraint order or several restraint orders all via smartphone.

Although I'd like this, even as a girl, I don't like the monthly thing. Why can't they just charge once like Bisei Tokei?

They most likely update it, which is why they would charge monthly rather than one-time.

If I can have Mamoru Miyano wake me up every morning, it'll totally be worth it. Cool
