Taeko Okajima is a typical "office lady" in a big company in a big city. When she takes a sabbatical to the countryside in Yamagata Prefecture, the hometown of her brother-in-law, the journey recalled her memory of her 5th grade year. During her stay in Yamagata, she works hard and happily as a farmer and is surrounded by friendly relatives and villagers, bringing up more memories. Their hospitality makes her to reconsider her choice of life.

Laura Dawn Bailey is an American actress and voice actress. Best known for her anime roles (at first, Funimation titles but she has definitely moved on), she has also supplied voices in video games and worked as staff on several anime series. She's become one of the most prolific female voice actors in the AAA gaming industry since 2010.

Some of her best known anime roles are Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist, Young Trunks in Dragon Ball Z, Maka Albarn in Soul Eater, Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket, Sana Kurata in Kodocha, and Shin Nohara in the English dub of Crayon Shin-chan.

She is married to fellow voice actor [Travis Willingham](https://anilist.co/staff/95026/Travis-Willingham), and they have one son, Ronin.

Bailey primarily does video game voice overs and western animation nowadays, rarely getting any new anime roles, generally only reprising roles when she does anime. If she does get a new anime role, it's usually with Studiopolis.

Her sister, [Federica de Bortoli](https://anilist.co/staff/95767/), is a popular Italian voice actress too. She dubbed [Kikyo](https://anilist.co/character/1359/) (from "Inuyasha") for the first 26 episodes, then contractual questions forced dubbing staff of Dynamic Italia to change casting roles and give her one to [Francesca Guadagno](https://anilist.co/staff/96231/).
