Lets Read: Welcome to the NHK
Nicholas Petcosky for Tatsuhiro Satō
Tatsuhiro Satō, a university dropout entering his fourth year of unemployment. He leads a reclusive life as a hikikomori, ultimately coming to the conclusion that this happened due to some sort of conspiracy.
Even though he's 22, because of his smokeing habits and over all character, I'd like to go for a more mature voice. Think, 27 year old detective, but still have to range to move all over the place, because this guy is both insane and higher than pluto.
[Monologue to self, serious tone] In this world, conspiracies exist; however, there is a more than a ninety-nine percent chance that the plausible-sounding conspiracies that you hear about from others are simple delusions or even intentional lies.
[Inner perverted thoughts of a religious girl, silly and goofy tone] I imagined her not knowing how to deal with her feverish body each night. "God is watching, so we can't do something like this. But... but…. I... I can't suppress my excited emotions. Ooh, why am I such a naughty girl? And even though God is watching... I confess. Heavenly Father!" Those sorts of things, where commandments and sexual desire merged into one, such thoughts constantly have to agonize her, I'm sure of it!
[Trying to impress a girl, serious at first, but then starts to give up] "So... you like... bikes and stuff? I really do... like bikes—motorbikes, that is. You can fly like the wind. I just love the pulse of the engine! Well, what do you think? Would you like to come riding with me some time? That is... I mean, I've never actually ridden one before! Ha ha ha ha ha ha...! Okay, see you around!"
