Rie Takahashi is a popular voice actress recognized for roles like Megumin in Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!Emily in Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsuand Takagi in Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, just to mention a few, since the list is immense! But like any member of the voice acting industry, Takahashi also has to try his luck in another closely related industry, singing.
Although Takahashi had already interpreted musical themes for series such as Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! and Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, she had done it as her own characters and not as herself (i.e. credits go to the character/franchise). Takahashi already signed with the record agency A-Sketch since 2014, but the opportunity to offer their first live concert will not come until next February 26 in Japan, with the event “Rie Takahashi 1st LIVE (高橋李依1stLIVE)“.
But we are not here to talk about Takahashi and his first live concert, but about a curious post he made on his Twitter account. Perhaps due to the excitement of her first concert, the popular artist shared a series of recommendations for fans who were going to attend the event.such as not forgetting your entrance ticket, your wallet, charging your mobile phone, taking precautions for COVID-19 and other things.
But in one section, Takahashi gives you some recommendations “about your personal hygiene”, such as that you should trim your nails before the event, not get drunk and so on, and the most important recommendation is that they take a bath! That’s right, it seems that Takahashi “knows something”, because he even added a tag that mentions: «You don’t want to bother someone with your scent». Wow things!
Of course, the peculiar recommendation drew comments on social networks:
- «It is an impossible request to fulfill for some».
- «Oh no, some have been cast as enemies».
- «The truth is that his fans must smell pretty bad for him to have written something like that».
- «It is so obvious. In fact, I’m surprised that otakus have to be reminded to take a bath.».
- «It’s amazing that I have to remind them».
- «The girls of Love Live! they also made the same recommendation before».
- «Do smelly otakus never think that the otaku guy next door stinks? I can understand that they are used to their own stench and don’t notice it, but I find it incredible that they don’t notice the smell of the one next door».
- «Are otakus seriously offended by this? They’re worse than a pain in the ass.».
- «I think the stinkier they are, the more respected they are among their entourage.».
Fountain: Yaraon!
The entry Megumin’s voice asks otakus to bathe was first published on Kudasai.
