The scene is meant to be very heavy with sad and, in many ways, regretful emotions. As of now, I don't want many line-reads to be full-on crying while talking, but I do want to portray that the character is speaking while holding back tears. Multiple takes trying different approaches are encouraged.

I'm looking for VAs that can read and perform lines in Japanese as well. If you can't read Japanese, you are still welcome to audition in just English, but being able to read lines in Japanese is a definite plus.
