Interlunium 4koma Fandub Project!

Specialty: Rinko Hanazawa is the centre of Interlunium. Visual.

Age: 18

Backstory: Rinko Hanzawa and her little sister was raised in a family of elite musicians who had high expectations, those of which Rinko did not fulfill, causing her to get into serious troubles with her parents with more-than-severe punishments. One day she was singing in the park, and this caught the attention of a girl named Junko. Rinko was surprised to see someone so interested in her singing since her teachers were always telling her she wasn't good enough. When Junko asked if she could teach her to sing as well, Rinko was thrilled, but before she could respond her father dragged her off. A few years later, Junko transferred into Rinko's class, and this event led both of them into a better mental state. The living circumstances at Rinko's place grew worse, and when she finally had enough and rebelled, Rinko's parents threw her out. Junko found Rinko in the park where they usually hung out and immediately took Rinko into her family. After awhile with Junko, Rinko discovered her burning passion for music and decided to become an idol. When she auditioned for I MY ME's idol opening with Junko, the pair were recognized for their strong emotions and accepted them.

Backstory: Most of Junko's past is a mystery because of her shy personality. She's very kind and caring, and is marveled by astronomy as that is one of her few known hobbies. Junko is known to always head home for three days; May 31st to June 2nd, and even Rinko does not know why. Rinko would sometimes tell the story of when Junko used to sneak out on nightly walks during the winter with Rinko through the forest, and on one occasion they stumbled upon a small kitten who's fur matched the snow. They cared for the kitten until they found out that it could not be brought into their dorms, so they left Artimis (named after famous anime cat and the Greek goddess) with Kellen, Junko's father.

Backstory: Dam Bi grew up in South Korea with two other siblings, with her being the only girl. She did not spend much time with either her parents or her siblings due to circumstances, and as she grew older she became interested in fashion and Japanese culture at the same time as her idol curiosity grew stronger. Dam Bi improved her singing skills with lessons and even joined a dance group who needed a member that could design their outfits, but when she attempted to audition for Korean idol groups she was rejected. However, she did not let this get her down, and instead took up learning Japanese and eventually English. Dam Bi improved her academics and all the while researched ideal idol companies, figuring out a plan that would be fit to pursue her idol career. When she showed this plan to her parents, they approved and allowed her to study abroad in Japan (at this point she was fluent in Japanese.) At fifteen she moved in with her host parents the Tanaka's, who at first were hesitant about letting her stay but soon grew to treat her as their own daughter, giving her the nickname "Bibi". When it was time for her to move back to Korea, her parents almost begged her to stay because of their financial situation. This worked out for Dam Bi as she was thrilled, and soon auditioned for I MY ME's idol project. She was surprised when the judges were blown away with her performance, and it was no shock when they offered her a position.

Backstory: Kanon Mitsuboshi grew up in a middle class family who loved her very much. One day while they were driving, her car crashed, but no one was injured badly. This incident traumatized Kanon to the point where she would be more secretive and kept to herself. She would hang around kids older than her trying to gain their praise but instead received bullying. Kanon believed that the bullying gave her a personality that she needed and started to curse at home while her grades dropped. When Kanon's parents talked to her about it, she told them the car crash made her realize that she should live her life the way she wants it and without regret. After the explanation, her parents went along with her act for a few more years and gave her a guitar hoping that the outlet would serve as a less violent way to express herself. When her grades dropped so low to the point she didn't even bother to show up at school, Kanon's parents threatened her that if she kept it up then she could just live with the older kids she idolized. This fake threat shook Kanon out of her personality and she began to pick up her act, transferring schools to cut ties with her bad influences and studying hard. When she performed at an open mic show, an I MY ME employee scouting for members saw her potential and offered her a position. Her parents approved and she became an idol.

Backstory: Chiyo Watanabe grew up as an ecstatic and playful child, but because of her green hair she was often bullied, causing her to stay inside and play video games more. Her parents noticed the change and brought her to the zoo, where she regained some of that energy seeing all of the cute animals. The bullying came to an extreme when a nice girl invited Chiyo to meet with her behind the school, and with high hopes Chiyo agreed. When she went there after school, she discovered the two girls who had been bullying her and the "nice" girl. They cut off half of one of her braids before a teacher heard Chiyo's screams. After this incident Chiyo's parents bought a house and moved schools, and with the new school came Chiyo's long thought-out hairstyle: two cute buns that resembled hamster ears. She became obsessed with idol games and anime which lead to her interest in becoming an idol herself. She prepared for I MY ME's auditions as best as she could but was declined a spot. However, when she arrived home her parents presented her with a new pet: a hamster! She was so happy and cared for the hamster, Momo, all night long. One of the producers couldn't stop thinking about Chiyo's potential, and after a long time considering, they called her and asked if she would be interested in a position. Her parents were very proud and she moved into one of idol dorms to begin her tough training. After passing, it took a long time for her to be assigned to a project.

Backstory: Megumi was raised in a sheltered lifestyle, often wearing kimonos due to the traditional Japanese inn that her parents run. She would pass for full-Japanese if it weren't for her natural sandy blonde hair and green eyes, but not many people in her area treated her any differently. When she grew older she decided that she wanted to see more of the world and applied to a school in Tokyo. After arriving, Megumi noticed that the majority of the population did not wear kimonos regularly, and when passing by foreigners she would be asked for a photo. Others did not believe she was Japanese and that she was just a foreigner dressing up, and this upset Megumi. She noticed the music videos by current idols while passing by a store, and Megumi was immediately captivated. The way they had hints of classical music mixed into a more modern tune intrigued her, more to the point she wanted to become an idol herself. With some luck there was an I MY ME producer nearby who caught Megumi's attention and asked her if she would be interested in becoming an idol for the company. She gladly accepted.

Backstory: Eimi Inagawa was raised in a caring family despite her father's dangerous occupation. When Eimi's siblings came into the picture, she spent a lot of time bonding with them although they couldn't talk just yet, and because of this she tried to teach them how to speak. Her parents thought this was very cute and took a video of her teaching them and sent the video to a talent agency. They were shocked when the agency reached out asking if Eimi would be interested in modeling for them. Eimi declined their offer since she wanted to wait until she was older before modeling. Eimi took up learning the trade of performing arts, and at the same time keeping up her grades. She was highly praised for her advanced knowledge, but she never thought of herself as a prodigy. When Eimi first debuted as a cute and clumsy idol who often wore yellow, many people enjoyed her performances and she quickly gained a large fanbase. However, she was uncomfortable with the fact that everyone was watching her, and so she went back into training and later debuted again at fifteen with the same ideal but a more.. mature version. Because of Eimi, I MY ME became one of the most popular companies, and in turn she was the most highly paid solo idol. Only a few know of her entitled personality.

Backstory: Kazue Ono came into a loving family, and although they were on the lower side of the financial spectrum, they still tried to raise her and her older brother to the best of their ability. Since they were unable to buy her many toys, she would play outside or at the park and watch the anthills, sometimes even feeding them and protecting them from other children. Her parents felt bad about giving Kazue her brother's old clothing, so they set aside some money and bought her an ant farm. Kazue was so happy that she would spend all of her time in her room tending to the ants, and this caused her appearance to become paler and taller. She was known as the "zombie" of her school, but after watching zombie movies with her brother, she came to like the  zombies (possibly because of all the bugs surrounding them.) Around the same time she became a horror fan, Kazue's financial situation was substantially improved when her father was offered the position of producer at a new idol company called I MY ME. He had to move into the city to work, but they were able to move with him later on. While the family was transporting her insect cases into the house, one of them broke, causing her mother to ban insects from the house. Kazue's father decided to let her keep her bugs but at the idol dormitory, also hoping that having other girls around Kazue would influence her to have a more girlish style. Some rumors started that there was a handsome ghost always entering one of the dorm rooms which sent bad vibes, but this instead intrigued the new idol group Interlunium.

Backstory: Lu Mei (Yume Zhou) grew up in China with her mother and dedicated gymnastic WSU coach father. Her mother, before she moved to Japan, always told her to use common sense, and Yume stuck to that saying during a test or confronting a teacher about their bad teaching skills. She was an overall B student though, and dedicated all of her free-time to gymnastics, hoping to be accepted into WSU and maybe make her way as an Olympic gymnast. However, Yume's dreams would meet a drastic end due to a bicycle accident that broke her right leg. She would recover, but her leg would be much weaker. Chitose (Yume's mother) brought Yume to Japan to comfort her and take her mind off of the incident. Yume picked up the piano again, finding music to be a type of comfort, one of which Chitose fully supported. Yume also used dancing as an alternative to gymnastics since it allowed her to move constantly without same pressure. She became a backup dancer for a performance group, and this piqued her interest in idols. This made her decide to audition for an idol career at I MY ME. After practicing hard she left the auditions proudly, and when the company company called her, Yume immediately started her training. Soon after they assigned her to an up-and-coming group named Interlunium.

Backstory: Anette Chanel's real name is Chizuru Anami. She grew up in a wealthy family who often traveled with her and her older siblings. Although she and her siblings did not play much at first, she often pulled pranks on them and vice versa. Out of all their travels Anette was most interested in France, the basis of where she took up her own "melodica playing French prankster": Anette Chanel. It got to the point where she ditched her old name and personality entirely and fully embraced her new persona, correcting everyone who referred to her as Chizuru. Anette decided that once she finished school she would permanently move to Paris. She knew that her parents would not give her the money to do that, so after researching a couple of enjoyable jobs she figured that auditioning for I MY ME's idol auditions would be the wisest decision. Anette was accepted into the program, but received an okay response from the audience after her debut. This only got her comedy gigs with her friend Eloise. However, she knew that her time to shine would come, and that all happened when Intelrunium was formed.

Backstory: Akira Hoshino was raised by two wealthy parents, both of which wanted their daughter to be perfect. They planned out things from her hobbies/extracurricular activities to what she would eat. At first, Akira was alright with everything because she liked when people praised her, however as she grew older Akira became bored of everything since there was no point to her extra skills. Akira asked her father why all of these things were necessary, and he told her that one day he would step down from his company and she would take over. This shocked Akira, not because she was happy but because she thought her father's job was boring. After thinking this over she told her parents that she wanted to live freely, but they disapproved. This outcome led Akira to defy her parents and quit all of her lessons (except singing) and sign up for dance. While she was hanging out with a group of male friends, someone handed her a flier for an idol performance. When they went to see them perform, the boys made fun of how they danced and sung, but Akira hushed them. She was mesmerized by the fact that they were having fun and didn't care about the negative comments from the audience. Being an idol was the escape she needed. Akira told her parents about her discovery and they shut her down, but Akira didn't care, she knew what she wanted. She joined a dance group to further her experience, and afterwards tried to stay away from home as much as possible. While Akira was out an I MY ME producer approached her asking if she would be interested in joining the idol program. Akira immediately accepted without a thought of her parents, and a little later Rinko invited Akira to Interlunium.

Since the only "extra" in the current 4komas is Junko's dad, I'll be keeping this role open for multiple members since it'll be easier to combine them into one role. When you audition, please also reply or add a note to your audition stating who you're going for. 

Extras: 

Akihiro (Junko's father); Cast to Ediolosa

CV: Kellen 

Lina Fujimura (Interlunium's manager)

CV: Arucelli

Lina does not enjoy people who are generally aggressive, and tends to stray away from those personalities. She loves her idol games, and although Lina despises whales, she is one herself. 

Tsubasa Amano (Classmate of Eimi & friends with Dam-Bi and best friends with Nami Samejima)

Based off of Swakoo's OC.

Tsubasa Amano is the best friend of Nami Samejima, and is in idol training. She's in the same class as Eimi, but talks to Dam Bi much more. 

I will be helping out with animating the 4komas, but extra help will allow things to move more quickly. Be mindful of deadlines as I would hate to go off schedule. Please link your previous work (preferably comic editing style.), thank you.

Current Video Editors:

8uo
DeluNelu

As you could probably see from the role name, I will need at least 1-3 mixers that are ayble to apply sound effects and hopefully balance mic differences. I do not have much experience in this whatsoever, so any help is greatly appreciated. Please link any previous work (preferably comic editing style.) Thank you.
