If you thought you had seen it all in the world of anime, get ready, because this will leave you with a smile on your face. Ayane Sakura, the talented voice actress of Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte, surprised all her fans by recording an audio of herself… Sleeping! Yes, as you read it. In a promotional strategy that no one saw coming, Ayane used her skills and charisma to connect even more with the anime’s fans.
The seiyuu Ayane Sakura, voice of Ameku Takao, enchants fans with her beautiful voice.
The recording was part of the promotion of the series, and although it was only a few minutes of audio in theory, fans were absolutely delighted with the result. Just imagine, listening to Ayane Sakura recreating those soft, soothing sounds of someone resting. Interestingly enough, this type of playback is becoming increasingly popular among those who are looking for content that relaxes them or makes them feel like company, so it wasn’t as far-fetched a move as it sounds.
After listening to this bit of aural heaven, fans were quick to call for the full recording to be released. They literally flooded social media with comments like ‘We want more of this!’ and ‘I need this audio to sleep to every night.’ Others joked that they should include it as a special bonus on the release of the series.
Ayane Sakura is known for her work in popular anime such as My Hero Academia where she voices the lovely Uraraka Ochako, as well as Charlotte where she plays Nao Tomori, just to mention a few of her performances. So it is no surprise that her voice has such a magical effect on people. But what makes this case so special is that we are not talking about a typical performance, but something much more intimate and relaxed. It’s as if the fans have been able to peek into a quiet moment of her day, and that obviously makes many feel more connected to her.
Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte had already attracted attention for its interesting plot and characters, but this marketing strategy definitely gave it an extra edge. It’s a series that mixes mystery, deep emotions and a touch of medical intrigue, and now, thanks to this detail, many are even more intrigued. Because let’s be honest: if they’re willing to do something so unique to promote it, what other surprises will they have in store for us?
Although there is no official confirmation that the full recording will be released (yet), the fan reaction might push the producers to seriously consider it. After all, when the fandom speaks, the producers listen. And in this case, the message is clear: more Ayane Sakura, please.
This curious publicity move reminds us that there are always creative ways to stand out in the anime industry. Sometimes, you don’t need a blockbuster full of special effects, just a talented voice and an original idea. And if one thing is clear, it is that Ayane Sakura can make even the act of sleeping worth admiring. Now we just have to wait and cross our fingers for the full audio to reach our hands, or rather, our ears. What do you think? Would you download an audio of your favourite seiyuu sleeping?
