• @Miraclepine: Hi, regarding ALT1, the source does not say that she had never heard of Tezuka. Are you sure you've linked the right page? BorgQueen (talk) 11:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

• @BorgQueen: Issue seems to have slipped in when I was translating it from the jawiki page. I have fixed it and have added the ALT1A accordingly. ミラP@Miraclepine 14:12, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

@Miraclepine and BorgQueen: In translation, I am unable to confirm that "mother of voice actors" is in the reference provided both here and in our article. Bruxton (talk) 17:36, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

@Bruxton: The linked webpage starts: "鉄腕アトムの声で知られる“声優の母”清水マリが19日..." which translates to "Mari Shimizu, the "mother of voice actors," known for her voice of Astro Boy, on the 19th..." BorgQueen (talk) 17:40, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

@BorgQueen: Thanks, my bleary eyes missed it, and in translation it is muddy. Bruxton (talk) 17:44, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
