Hiromi Igarashi
Q. What was your impression of this work?
I was impressed by the strange dancing and the unique atmosphere. I like the snow girl because she is cute.
Q. How do you feel about the role?
The character design in the anime gave me a cute impression, so I will try my best to have a fun interaction with Suzu while keeping the coolness.

Arisa Nakada
Q. What is your impression of this work?
I thought it was a wonderful work with stories about various yokai, from major yokai to minor ones, and I felt the liveliness and sometimes fragility of yokai. I thought, "Are there yokai around me...? No, I wish there were! It is a very enjoyable work that makes you love yokai so much that you wonder, "Are there any yokai around me...?
Q. How do you feel about the role?
I will do my best to show you various Suzu-chan, such as her mysterious charm of being both childlike and elderly, and the mysteriousness peculiar to the yokai called "Zashiki-doji!

Maria Naganawa
Q. What is your impression of this film?
I thought it would be eerie because it is a story about yokai, but I was warmed by the chuckles and the heartwarming content. I think the unique atmosphere of the picture diary, which is not found in manga, is very appealing.
Q. How do you feel about the role?
I want to do my best to express the sisterly feeling of Yukimusume and the innocence of a still young child!

Eri Kitamura
Q. What is your impression of this work?
I thought it had a distinctive style with an air of ennui! I am excited to encounter the work and honestly wonder what it would be like if this atmosphere were accompanied by sound!
Q. What is your enthusiasm for the role?
Kitsumen is a dynamic character who disturbs the pace of Kiantaro and his friends in a good way, so I will do my best to play her mischievousness as a comical mood-maker while keeping her bewitching charm in check! Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Sayaka Ohara
Q. What is your impression of this work?
I felt that it is a rare work in which we can learn about a wide variety of ancient Japanese yokai, sometimes humorously, sometimes surreally, in a lighthearted world where the characters come alive at a brisk pace. Before I knew it, I found myself becoming very fond of yokai (laugh).
Q. How do you feel about your role?
When she is silent, she is a graceful and beautiful Yamato Nadeshiko who looks good in kimonos, but when she opens her mouth, she is a storm of abusive language. I am going to enjoy the role without worrying about being a "mother" (laugh).
