Cast Comments] (*Honorifics omitted)

Rina Haruna as Rito Sudo
I have loved anime since I was a child and became an ani-song singer because I loved it so much, so voice acting was a job I had always dreamed of.
I thought it was too awe-inspiring and impossible for me to be a voice actor... a voice actor... a job like a god who breathes life into characters...!
Is this a dream? Am I really sure about this?
I'm so happy and nervous that I'm already on the verge of fainting, but since I'm going to do it, I'm going to face Rito Sudo head-on and give it my all. ！！！！！

Uesaka Sumire (playing Mari Shirako)
As someone who has a longing and attachment to Harajuku, I am very excited to play the role of Mari Shirako in a production set in Harajuku! Mari is a girl with a Lolita atmosphere, and I feel sympathy for her. I will do my best to play the role!

Mainaka Ishimi (Kotoko Watanumugi)
I am looking forward to playing the role of Kotoko, who looks so cute and fluffy.
I will do my best, so please look forward to it!
