The Day I Became a God Voice Actors Comment on Jun Maeda's 'Disappearance'

In the sixth episode of the The Day I Became a God radio show posted on Friday, voice actors Natsuki Hanae and Ayane Sakura briefly commented on series creator Jun Maeda's recent disappearance from public life. At roughly the 30:40 mark of the program, the actors comment on how they normally read out a message written by Maeda, but this time, he did not leave a message.

The actors' brief exchange is translated as follows:

Sakura: Okay, so, Maeda-san left a message this time, too.

Hanae: Oh? Did he? Wait, he didn't!

Sakura: No way!

Hanae: Yeah, there isn't one today! ...Aww, how sad.

Sakura: Aww, you crybaby, Natsuki-chan.

Hanae: I'm so sad.

Sakura: Don't snot all over the place! Don't take advantage of the situation to get your snot everywhere! ...Ah, so he didn't leave a message today.

Hanae: He must be busy.

Sakura: I wonder if he's got his hands full right now.

Hanae: Or maybe he's finally allowing himself to let loose?

Sakura: Whoa, apparently he's missing right now.

Hanae: Oh, I see...

Sakura: Yeah.

Hanae: Well...

Sakura: Well, we'll continue to wait patiently for Maeda-san's return.

Hanae: We'll wait. Please do things at your own pace. We're hoping for the best.

Sakura: Yep!

(Awkward laughter)

Hanae: It sure is weird for the voice actors to say this kind of thing...

Sakura: Yeah...
