Natsuki Hanae as Mr. Seal

After the post recording
In the short video, I was able to see a lot of heartwarming exchanges between a polar bear and a seal.
I was worried about how to express the cuteness of the seal, but the teacher and director gave me detailed instructions, so I am looking forward to seeing the finished film!

Atmosphere of the recording studio
The staff and I were all in a friendly atmosphere like polar bears in love.
Thanks to this atmosphere, I was able to do the postrecording well.

Impressions of each other
Umehara-kun is taciturn, so I used to talk to him a lot, but I was glad to see that he started talking to me more often.
He is a good person after all. He wrapped me up like a polar bear.

What was it like playing the character?
The seal is a very small boy who is always trembling, so I played him while trembling all the time. They are really cute. I hope they live happily for a long time.

What are the highlights of this film?
Basically, I think this is a film that you can relax and enjoy watching.
You can see the harshness of the wild and their relationship with each other in some parts.
I think you will enjoy it, so please look forward to it!


Yuichiro Umehara as Polar Bear
After the post-recording

It was the first time for me to play an animal role, and I struggled to create the character at first, but I enjoyed the recording.

Atmosphere of the postrecording studio
The recording studio was small, but the atmosphere was calm because of the warmth of the work.
I remember a stuffed seal peeking out from the mixer room.


What was your impression of each other as co-stars?

We have worked together before, and we usually interact with each other, but I felt like I saw a new side of each other.


What was it like to play the role of the character?

It was my first time playing an animal role, and I was worried about how I should play the role, but I created the character through discussions with the original author and the director.
I enjoyed playing the childhood of the polar bear and the male member of the couple in the drama CD.


Highlights of this work

Whether you are a fan of the original work or new to "Polar Bear in Love," we hope you enjoy the heartwarming and slightly surreal atmosphere between Mr. Seal and Mr. Polar Bear.

Scenario Art

A male polar bear falls in love with a male seal?
It is a very surreal and chuckle-worthy story, but the universal theme of love inspired me to create a very serious and magnificent piece of music. I hope it will color this wonderful work.
I recorded the vocals in a real cave (in Tochigi Prefecture) while shivering in the sub-zero cold, so I think the song fits the icy worldview in the story perfectly. Please enjoy it.
