Comment from Hiroshi Yamamoto (Director)
The reason why we decided to make a two-part movie version is because we didn't have enough time to produce it in time, so let's put aside the joke about ...... (laugh). The first theatrical version was a medium short film of less than 60 minutes, which means that there will be no feature-length version. I hope that you will experience the same feeling in the theater as you had in the TV series, where you couldn't wait for one week to see what would happen next.

　Thoughts after the post-recording
It had been a long time since I had done postrecording, and I was nervous from beginning to end. I was so tense in odd places that my stiff shoulders were at their peak. But after the postrecording, I felt that WUG had come back.
　After a year, playing my character again
I was relieved that I had not forgotten my voice. I feel that the range of my true dream has broadened even more through WUG ZOO!

I was very nervous because it had been a long time since I had done postrecording. I tried my best to make use of what I learned last time as much as possible.
　After a year, playing my character again
I felt that Ai-chan Hayashida has grown up. But I am glad that I was able to keep the good parts of Ai Ri.

It was the first time in a long time that all seven of us worked together in postrecording! I thought that dubbing was fun after all.

Minami has not changed. In fact, she was easier to play than before!

It has been a while since I performed in front of a microphone. The seniors as well as the WUG members have experienced a lot in the past year, and their behavior and acting have changed a lot... I was a little left behind (laughs)! I will try harder!

My hairstyle had changed: ！！！！！！！ I was confused at first, but as I continued with the recording, it started to look very cute... Kanoh is still NO.1!
