Naka-ma, careful around that ¥8,000,000 vase! Break it and you'll have to work for one hell of a butler. Or is that something you want to do? Sorry, that was a strange thing to ask.
Announcing, voice actor for characters such as Kyoya Otori, Sebastian Michaelis, and Teyna Iida, give it up for J. Michael Tatum!
