The event was a great success, as original chocolates were distributed as a special gift to visitors, making it a perfect Valentine's Day event. The following is the official report.

Tokyo
Ms. Hanazawa took the stage and began by wishing everyone a "Happy Valentine's Day! as it was Valentine's Day. She then asked the packed audience how many times they had seen "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass the Movie." When she found out that some had seen it for the first time on that day, some for the fifth time, and some for the tenth time or more, she was thrilled and said, "Thank you so much! I'm so grateful for your support! I also went to the theater recently to see "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass the Movie. I had borrowed the DVD from one of the staff members before the completion preview and watched it at home, but as I watched it, I thought, "I have to go to the movie theater! I was so impressed with the images and the movie that I had to go to the theater. The images and sound are so powerful when you see it on the big screen! I was so excited to see it on the big screen," he said.
During the stage greeting, Mr. Hanazawa answered questions from the cast and staff members who co-starred in the film. A raffle draw box appeared, from which the audience drew a piece of paper with a question written on it. Ms. Miyuki Sawashiro, who plays the role of Shion Karanomori, asked "Do you have an ideal image of a woman that you would like to be like this person? She asked, "Do you actually have an ideal woman like her? To this question, she answered, "I would like to be sexy like Shion-san." Seeing the reaction of the audience, she said, "Please don't give me a disappointed 'huh' look! (laugh)" and then commented, "I do admire such a cool woman, don't I? He commented, "I do admire such cool women. Ayane Sakura, who plays the role of Mika Shimotsuki, asked, "Kana-san said that Mika (who plays an unlikable role in the main story) is "cute" and that made me feel very happy. The question. I was not annoyed. Maybe it was because I was playing the role of Zhu who accepts Mika's attitude like that, but also because Ayaneru (Ms. Sakura's nickname) is cute, so I can forgive her (laugh). Tomokazu Seki, who plays Shinya Kugami, and Kenji Nojima, who plays Nobumoto Ginoza, asked the audience a question that was a bit different from what they were used to, and with smiles on their faces, they responded as themselves and as Akira Tsunemori.
When asked by the staff about the difficulties they had in making the movie version, they replied, "I guess it's the English..." Director Shiotani also asked them about the English before they made the movie. Director Shiotani had threatened me beforehand that there would be English in the film (laughs). (Laughs) But I think the movie version has preserved the worldview with those scenes. Regarding Zhu's growth through the first season, the second season, and the theater version, he said, "I couldn't imagine what Zhu would look like in the theater version, considering how she looked at the beginning of the first season. He also said, "I could not have imagined the way Zhu grew up in the first season. Regarding the postrecording throughout the series, he said, "I tried to make up my mind each time on the train to the studio. (In the scenario where Zhu is forced into a harsh situation) I was rocking on the train with my hues all muddled up." He shared some episodes from those days when he was really getting into the role.
Shizuka Ito, who played the role of Yayoi Rokugozuka, did not ask a question, but rather said, "I loved the time I could feel Kana-chan working on the role next to me. Thank you so much for your hard work." She also sent a message of thanks for her hard work. Ms. Hanazawa said, "I always sat next to Shizuka-san during recording sessions. She made me feel very comfortable. I am really happy! I am so happy!
At the end of the stage greeting, Ms. Hanazawa was told by the staff that the number of theaters showing "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass the Movie" had increased. Thank you very much. There will be a special event in July, but before that, I would like to do the Public Security Bureau entrance ceremony, too! I hope everyone, especially the girls, will be dressed in their best-fitting suits at that time! （I would like to join the Public Safety Bureau before that!

Osaka
Greetings from the stage in Osaka. Among the questions from the cast, Takahiro Sakurai, who played Sho Hinagawa and was the only one who did not appear at the Tokyo event the day before, asked a question. The content of the question was a psychological test. You were trying to buy a piece of bread you wanted, and someone intercepted you. How old was the person who took it? To this question, Mr. Hanazawa answered, "A man of about 50 years old. What this question reveals is the mental age of the person who answered. So, Mr. Hanazawa's mental age is 50 years old...? Oh no (laughs). I have to lower my mental age..." said Mr. Hanazawa. Mr. Hanazawa said. Mr. Sakurai asked another question, "There is a piece of clothing that you wanted so much when you bought it, but you hardly ever wear it. What color are those clothes? The question was: "What is the color of the clothes? Ms. Hanazawa answered, "Red! Mr. Hanazawa answered, "Red! This question "reveals the true face of the person who answered. Ms. Hanazawa, who chose red, said, "I am a passionate and active person. She is usually reserved but has a passionate heart. Hearing this, Ms. Hanazawa happily posed with a gut-punch, "I did it! and a gut-punch. By the way, the person who chose blue is "calm and intelligent. He usually acts jovial, but in fact he always has a calm and objective eye. Black is "eccentric and navel-gazing. A rebellious and twisted person. Yellow is "an original individualist. He hates to do the same things as others. White: "Innocent and pure. White is "innocent and pure of heart.
Finally, Mr. Hanazawa thanked the fans gathered at the venue for their support of "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass" and ended his speech with a smile.
