--Akaneya: About the third film version and the first original story
Akaneya: I am surprised that the third movie came out so quickly. It has been our longing to do an original story in a movie, so we are very happy to have been able to make it happen and we are also very grateful to the staff.
Serizawa: I think we were able to make this film because of the many people who watched it. So many people supported us, and I want to say "Thank you so much! I want to say "Thank you so much!
Kubota: This time, there are more new songs, all the characters are here, and guest voice actors are participating, making it a very exciting movie. I hope many people will see it.

--What did you think of the guest stars Mrs. Devi (who played Prolia) and Rina Kawae (who played Minifaru) after seeing the film?
Akaneya: There are many unique characters in Pripara, and among them, Gloria (who plays Prolia's younger sister) is a character with a strong personality, but she played the character beyond Gloria beautifully, and it was really amazing.
Serizawa and Kubota: She was perfect and fit in perfectly with the character of Pripara.
Akaneya: Kawae-san also gave a perfect 120 points with her cute mini-falls!

--Akaneya: Akaneya, you also had a cute mini-falcon that scored 120 points!
Serizawa: I thought "US Pae" where the three members of Dressing Parfait went was cool with its costumes. Dorothy and Leona are from Canada, so their English was also well chosen!

--How was your visit to Kaiyukan (interviewed before the preview today)?
Akaneya: It was the first time for all three of us to visit Kaiyukan! It was really fun to do the interview surrounded by a lot of fish.
Serizawa: And the whale sharks came right when we were taking pictures! It was very powerful.

--Serizawa: Have you ever had a private experience in Osaka?
Serizawa: I hadn't been to Osaka since I was a fourth grader on a family trip to USJ.
Akaneya: I am from Akita, but I once visited Osaka on a school excursion. We walked around a lot of places, and I lost some weight because of all the walking. Laughs
Kubota: It was fun to visit Kaiyukan for the first time, but I think there are still many things I don't know about it, so I would like to visit different places.

In addition, as a special guest, Mr. Kenji Yoshida, an inspector of the Osaka Prefectural Police Department's Community Safety Division, who created the tie-in poster for the movie, took the stage and taught the children in the audience together with Akaneya-san, Serizawa-san, and Kubota-san the "5 Yakusoku" to protect themselves. The event was a great success.

When we were making the movie, I was worried about whether or not everyone would come and see it, but today so many friends came that I'm glad we worked so hard to make it happen. I think it's wonderful that the circle of friends is growing through Pripara. I look forward to your continued support.
Kubota: Thank you for coming today! The story changes a little bit every week, and in the third week, there is a SS course for Sofie-chan, who I play. It's a very interesting story, so I hope you will come to the theater again with your friends and family.
