Tanahashi put the phone down and shuffled a few pieces of paper around on the desk, slightly confused. The man he had just spoken to was one of Japan's most sought after actors, and the owner of his own agency on top of that. Tanahashi understood why Iwaki Kyousuke-sama had called - Sigma agencies specialised in the items Iwaki-sama had been looking for: seiyuu. Voice actors. Sigma Pro managed only the best, the creme de la creme of seiyuu. Still, it would have been a chance for some of Iwaki-sama's company's own clients to get the roles in this new BL drama. The novel Flesh Flute had been a best-seller, and the author, Sawa Nagisa-sama, was not an insignificant nobody but, like Iwaki-sama, a famous celebrity. With Iwaki-sama's and Sawa-sama's names on the cover, the CD would sell. Oh, it would sell.
Looking down at the list in front of him, Tanahashi reached for the folder where he stored the phone numbers of the limited group of seiyuu he managed. Despite being Sigma Pro's managing director, Tanahashi preferred to keep in touch with the what happened outside the office, and this was the way he liked it. He only used his valuable time on the best, obviously. And the best was what his new clients, the famous gay Iwaki/Katou couple, had asked him to find. In that regard, Flesh Flute had been something of a gold mine for Sigma. The story revolved around four hosts who had their problems with love and relationships, and Tanahashi had been able to secure quite a few of the roles for his actors.
Tanahashi looked at the list again. He was sure he had chosen the right seiyuu for the parts, and luckily Iwaki-sama had agreed. As it were, Iwaki-sama and Katou-sama had met Kurokawa-san, and had liked him enough to kindly suggest that he were to be one of the actors who landed the beneficial contracts for the CDs. Tanahashi had suggested that Jouchi Wataru-kun as Shinkawa Takaaki. Jouchi-kun had developed rapidly, and the part as a young host who ruthlessly pursued the love of his life suited the young actor.
Of course Kurokawa-san was playing a seme - his favourite ... position. Kenzaki Toshiya was a suitable role for Sigma Pro's famous seiyuu - and not too straining for his busy schedule. Kokubu Touma-kun were to play Ishii Naoki - a smaller part, but well suited for Kokubu-kun's talent. Most importantly, the part made sure that Kokubu-kun was present when the drama CD of the year was made. It almost made up for the fact that Hosaka-san and Kazama-kun from the O.P. agency were offered the parts as the famous and not very pleasant host Iwaki Kyousuke, and his lover, Takaaki Ryou.
Tahanashi pulled the phone closer and called Kurokawa-san to inform him that his contract was ready, and that he was needed at the office.
