─ ─ Your impression of the character of the young Twenty Faces when you first saw him, your enthusiasm for the role, and your impressions after actually recording the scene.

I thought he was a beautiful, neutral boy.
Since GACKT is playing the voice of the current Nijumenso, I fantasized a lot about whether the young Nijumenso would also have a mysterious atmosphere.... I was quite nervous because it was my first attempt at postrecording, but I am truly grateful to the cast for their kindness.

─ ─ Do you have a message for those who are watching "TRICKSTER"?
I am looking forward to seeing how the story will progress, both as someone who was involved in the production and as a fan. I would like to continue to make "TRICKSTER" more exciting together with everyone. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
