■Sayaka Kanda as Teresa
I was really nervous because I had to do the postrecording with senior actors!
As a Yamato fan, I am looking forward to seeing the movie.

Nora Hirano
I would like to aim for "Yamato Babble" to be this year's "buzzword of the year" award.
It is the same year as "Farewell Space Battleship Yamato: Warriors of Love" (1978), so I will be a big woman who can say that I have rolled over Yamato.

Kenichi Suzumura as Daisuke ■Shima
After the young atmosphere of Island in the previous series "Space Battleship Yamato 2199," I played him as a reliable person in this film. I believe that you are about to see an awesome film that will set you ablaze. Please enjoy the film to the end.

Director Nobuyoshi Habara
The entire staff put their hands and hearts into making this film, line by line, color by color. I hope you will look at this film with warmth.
Please enjoy this film filled with so many feelings.

Screenplay: Harutoshi Fukui
We have completed the first chapter that we put our heart and soul into, but there is still a long way to go (until Chapter 7).
I hope that Yamato will run with you all from now on.

It was also announced that the ending theme song for the film will be "Yamato Yori Ai wo Komete" (Sung by Kenji Sawada), the theme song for the animated film "Farewell Space Battleship Yamato: Warriors of Love," which also served as the motif for the film. Don't miss it!
