■Shoko Nakagawa as Rapunzel
Six years after the movie, I am happy to be able to play the voice of Rapunzel again. Rapunzel is a princess of my dreams, with her mass of curiosity, her courage to take a step forward, her bravery to go on adventures, and her ability to cheer up those around her. In the TV series, we get to see a lot of Rapunzel that I have always wanted to see. I am also in charge of singing this time, and the music is wonderful and the lyrics are really great, with content that sticks in your mind. I am looking forward to seeing Rapunzel again in this way, and I hope that many people will be able to see Rapunzel again.
