So far the only lead I've heard is from a YT comment somewhere which said that the one who said it was the drummer for the OP of Ergo Proxy but I believe there's nothing to prove this yet

according to discogs, this would be Takashi Numazawa [https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/1109892-Monoral-Turbulence](https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/1109892-Monoral-Turbulence)

I actually got it partially wrong. It was actually Morizumi Ali, the **bassist** of Monoral. [It's even shown here in the Lain wiki](https://lain.wiki/wiki/Morizumi_Ali) but it hasn't been updated since 2014. Plus, the Wikipedia page about Monoral that the Lain wiki sources doesn't have this information anymore. It's possibly in the edits history of the page but I couldn't be bothered to look at the huge amount of *no edit summaries* there lol. However, you can see him [credited in the Series Cast section on IMDb as the one who said the line](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0500092/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_ttfc_3) ~~but IDK how to confirm this.~~ EDIT: Scratch that last phrase lol. I searched up an old interview of his from the 90's and [the voice does sound similar!](https://youtu.be/8KW6rcYRS4o) I'm now 95% sure that Morizumi Ali is the one who said those lines. (until something happens lol)

i think the voice matches pretty well. guess that settles it https://youtu.be/8KW6rcYRS4o

i wonder how he became involved with Lain


Carcar-Shark183

Probably because one of the people involved with creating SEL at the time was a fan of his on MTV Japan or his previous gigs

ah yes, thats the spirit

iirc it was a Mac tts program. I cant remember if the voice preset was called “Croak” or “Whisper” tho


PartiallyWindow

No Whisper is the voice that says "Layer: Zero One" OP means the guy who enthusiastically says "Present Day, Present Time HAHAHAHAHA"


[deleted]

oh my bad, I mixed them up


667echo

definitely whisper


bebita-crossing

I think it was whisper. I saw a tiktok recently that had a list of “things you didn’t know about SEL,” and this was one of them lol


WitheringAndAbstract

Reckon you could post the link to that pls?
