"Who is even paying you to do this?" The reporter was dumbfounded. "This is... Really... A financial..." She looked over at the crew. The camera wasn't rolling. "This is dumb, Robert. This is ridiculous and I don't understand. Before we go on air, can you make me understand?"

It was the 2080s. Robert was a thin and tall man who was dressed as if he were in a parody of a 1980s movie. He didn't even pull it off well. A casual observer would likely pick out elements from the surrounding decades before the idea of it being the 1980s dawned on them.

"You see, my generous online donators..." He smirked from behind his handlebar mustache.

"You get like... Two hundred dollars a month. That's publicly visible." The reporter groaned as she got a notification in her ear piece. Going on air. 

She smiled brightly and held up her microphone. "Pac Mania! Donkey Kong! We have here a man dedicated to those old arcade classics! He's on a journey across America to play them all!" She looked over at the smug and smirking man. "Meet Robert Link. You must get a lot of high scores!" She pointed the microphone towards Robert.

"High scores? Who cares about that." He chuckled. "I'm on the vibe, you know? Real revival arcades. Have you ever seen a quarter in person?"

The reporter kept her cool. "Yes, Robert." What kind of question was that even?! Where did it even come from? She used coins to pay for her coffee that morning!

"Yeah, you know," he was still smirking, linking his thumbs through his belt loops. "There aren't any real machines left. So you go and they're just a bunch of raspberry pis, but it's the vibe."

"You're..." The reporter smiled brightly. He was traveling America to play video games on emulators. That wasn't even something you needed to leave your room for! "On an exciting journey! Do you have anything to say she the viewers at home?"

"Win or lose," he unhooked his hands from his belt loops to shoot finger guns at the camera, "It's about how much the nacho cheese looks like plastic when you're running off of vibes."

The crew began to pack up. The reporter just stared at him. "You... Your parents are basically loaded, right?"

"Yeah." Robert dropped the act. "They don't like me very much. So they're paying me to do literally anything other than be in the same zip code as them."

"Oh..." She covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry!"

"Don't be." He pulled some sunglasses from his back pocket and put them on. "Where I'm going, you don't need love... You only need vibes." He paused and took the glasses off. "But yeah. Uh... If you know anyone who isn't in this zip code hiring, I've got like... Five degrees in film and media."

"Really?!" The reporter stepped back. 

He shrugged. "Yeah. They paid a lot to get me out of their hair back in the day."

How Are Aoya Ritou's banks?

Ritou has three banks. 

His version 1 CV has three pitches. His voice is very nice!

VCV 1 has four pitches. His voice is lovely!

Finally, we have his summer vacation vcv. It has four pitches. There's end consonants! If this was a CV, I would make him sing in English! But it's a vcv, so it's best to show off how good the Japanese is. He has a very nice voice!
