Nao Higashiyama comment
My name is Nao Higashiyama, and I will be playing the role of Rin Suzunoki! But when her emotions get the best of her, she has a lot of different expressions! I am also looking forward to seeing how the unique daily lives of the girls who read the original story and got their hands on their dream vehicle, a motorcycle, will be depicted in the anime! I am looking forward to seeing how it will be depicted in the anime!

Buon, buon, buon... Hello everyone! I'm so happy to be able to play the role of Sei-chan! I am very, very happy! Sei-chan is a "badass" girl who has a crush on "badasses"! Being a young lady of the Minowa Group...the time has finally come for me to show off my Yamaguchi Group lady power...! ...... It's a lie. I'm a civilian. I want to ride a motorcycle! I hope I can give voice to my enthusiasm for motorcycles so that everyone will feel the same way! Please give me your best regards♪
