EP.221 - Veteran Seiyuu performing on Stage and Being Criticized for that & Utaites Taking Leading Roles

Many veteran seiyuu, with decades of experience, have been criticized for participating in 2D music projects and performing on stage with younger seiyuu. At the same time, the industry is changing so much that Utaites are taking leading roles in projects that used to be exclusively for professional voice actors. What is happening right now? Why are fans complaining about veteran seiyuu and what is the problem we should all team up to talk about instead of ageism? Is the seiyuu industry changing, bringing people of different backgrounds to do voice acting work and, potentially, "take" roles away from professional seiyuu?
