Official Report】※Honorifics omitted.

 Director Nobuyoshi Habara, who had just seen the movie, said, "I can feel the atmosphere in the audience saying, 'Why did it have to end here? Director Habara immediately asked, "Who thought of that? Director Habara immediately responded, "Who thought of that?

However, when the topic turned to the production of the film, Kamiya-san revealed that he had been quite anxious during the recording sessions, saying, "I wondered if I could really do this..." He then added, "But the quality is amazing. He then added, "But it was completed with great quality, so I was relieved." He told the audience that he was satisfied with the work.

 When asked about the highlights of the second chapter, Nakamura said, "I never thought that this would be the 'launch' chapter that I would be watching over. That's why I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. I hope that Yamato will be in a pinch just right (and that I will have a chance to appear)." When Mr. Nakamura expressed some disappointment, Ms. Fukui followed up by saying, "I wouldn't have invited you here (for the stage greeting) if I wanted to just leave you out. When Mr. Nakamura responded to the comment implying that he would appear in future productions, he also said, "That's a relief. I believe in you.

 In response to the same question, Mr. Kamiya said, "I haven't done much so far, but this time I have a line that says, 'Let me on, just let me on! ' line. It's super cool. Just get in!" The inversion of the word is what makes it so mysterious and persuasive. Fukui explained, "Only a man who is fully aware that he is handsome can do that. Director Habara also told us the reason for casting Kamiya, "When I read the script, all I could think of was Kamiya's voice! I'm so happy!" and she had the happiest expression on her face today.

 Ms. Kanda introduced the ending theme song for Chapter 2, "Tsuki no Kagami (Mirror of the Moon). She sang the song in the role of Teresa, and said, "The ending is important because it adds to the lingering feeling of the story and stirs up a sense of anticipation for what is to come next. Since (Teresa) is said to be a goddess, I tried to imagine the peace of all things and sang with the lights turned down a little (in the recording booth) so that I could enter into the world view. I hope you will listen to the song like water. He told us the story behind the recording process.

 After that, in response to Ms. Fukui's request to have Teresa pray for Director Habara, who had just celebrated her birthday three days earlier, so that she could complete the series in good health, Ms. Kanda posed as Teresa and said, "Director Habara, congratulations on your 54th birthday. This work seriously depends on you. Please take care of yourself and please run through to the end. Please take care of yourself and please run through to the end." Director Habara was so moved that he said, "I'm about to cry (from happiness)! I'm so happy I'm about to cry! The audience applauded loudly.
