--What is your impression of "Snow White with Red Hair" and the character you are playing in the first season?
Saori Hayami: I think it is as fresh and calm as my impression at the beginning. In addition to the strong core in the first season, Shirayuki's weaknesses and conflicts are also depicted in the second season, so I was able to get to know a new side of her.
Ryota Osaka: Originally, he was a character whose prince-like qualities were really visible, but as he spent time with Shirayuki and the other characters, I think he became someone whose manliness or prince-like qualities deepened even more.
Kaori Nazuka: He is cool, but I feel warmth in every word he says. I think she must be very happy because Zen has changed for the better after meeting Shirayuki.
Yuichiro Umehara: "Snow White with Red Hair" is a well-balanced work with romance, male bonding, and battle scenes. And Mitsuhide is an expressive character in the story, which was fun to play.
Nobuhiko Okamoto: He is a character who is aloof and shows his aloofness to others, but observes his surroundings carefully. I felt more and more pity for him because of his attractive character nearby.

--What are the highlights of the 2nd season, without spoiling anything?
Saori Hayami: Many new characters will appear! They will make a big difference in the work. The relationships between Zen, Shirayuki, and the other familiar members will also change because of them, so that is the highlight of the show.
Ryota Osaka: In addition to Shirayuki and Zen, many other characters will be in focus this time, and the content will become much more serious. I would like you to see how they overcome these challenges. That character may turn out to be very cool.
Kaori Nazuka: In the first season, Shirayuki was always helping us emotionally, but in the second season, we will help her! There will be more unique characters, so I hope you will pay attention to that as well.
Yuichiro Umehara: One character is growing up at a dizzying pace, and it is because of Shirayuki's influence, but Shirayuki also shows a look that she did not show in the first season. Both the tension and the sweet scenes are even better than in the first cool season.
Nobuhiko Okamoto: Signs of growth in that prince! That prince's family is adorable! Crossing the ocean, let alone outside the castle? Hey, Obi, get a grip!

--Nobuhiko Okamoto: The prince is growing up and his family is adorable!
Saori Hayami: In the second season, the world has expanded and more things will happen than ever before. I hope you will pay attention to how Shirayuki and her friends will face the many difficulties they will face. Please look forward to it!
Ryota Osaka: I became even more fond of red hair while acting in this story. I would like to share this feeling with you all, so I hope you will watch and see how the bond between Zen and Shirayuki will grow even deeper.
Kaori Nazuka: I think this work will make you feel thrilled, excited, and warm. Please enjoy the soft and comfortable atmosphere.
Yuichiro Umehara: Both those who know the original work and those who are familiar with this work from the anime will enjoy it. I hope you will pay attention to the growth of Shirayuki and the people around her.
Nobuhiko Okamoto: Look forward to the new opening and ending!
