Official report from the press conference

Prior to the announcement of the main cast of voice actors, a press conference was held with Yu Serizawa and Teppei Kaminishi, the double lead actors.

The two were very happy to be cast in this production. Mr. Uenishi said, "It's my first time to play a regular role and my first leading role, so I was really, really happy.Ms. Serizawa said, "I have often played characters with strong personalities, so playing Iroha was a challenge for me. However, I thought I could create an Iroha that only I could bring out, so I was really happy to have been selected for the audition. I was really happy to have been selected for the audition," she commented.

As for the charm of the work, Ms. Uenishi said, "At first, I thought it would be a typical work about an otaku and a beautiful girl, where a man and a woman meet. But I thought it would be a story about how two people's hearts connect with each other, but it is a story that begins after they connect, and I thought that was the charm of the story."

Serizawa: "I like shoujo manga, so I read a lot of them, and there are many stories where the heroine shines and the boy hero is pulled along, so I thought it would be like that, but it is a story where the otaku boy "Tsutsun" (Tsutsui's nickname) pulls Iroha and the others along, I thought the appeal of the story was that the otaku boy "Tsuttsun" (Tsutsui's nickname) pulls Shikoha and those around him along. I thought that was the charm of the story.

Serizawa mentioned that the first post recording was held on the 19th, "Kaminishi-kun looks just like Tsutsun! He is not a good communicator and doesn't talk to me with eye contact. But I am glad that Kaminishi-kun played the role of Tsutsui. I was one of the few junior voice actors among many senior voice actors, so I felt like I had to be firm, which helped me calm down, and I was able to make use of that in the role as well."When I talked about how Kaminishi-san was during the post recording, she said, "That's not true! (While denying that he looked just like Tsutsun, he added, "I was really happy that Serizawa-san played the role of Iroha. He pulled me along during the recording sessions, and I was able to get into the role right away, so I was able to bring out the relationship between Mr. Serizawa and myself in the role. I hope that in the second half of the film, I will be able to show you a solid performance along with the story. I hope I can show you a solid performance in the second half of the film, along with the story," he added.

When the topic turned to the live-action movie to be released this fall, Mr. Serizawa said, "I would love to meet (the movie cast)! I would like to know the height of Ms. Ayami Nakajo (who plays Igarashi Iroha in the live-action movie), who is very stylish (laughs).

Ms. Uenishi: "Actually, I've been watching videos of Yuto Sano (who plays Hikaru Tsutsui in the live-action movie) on TV and other places as a reference for my acting, so I'd love to meet him and talk about his acting and other things!
I would love to meet him and talk with him about acting and other things! I would love to meet you and talk about acting and other things!
I hope you will come visit us at the recording studio as well!

Finally, Mr. Kaminishi said, "I hope that you will all keep your hearts and minds open so that even after years have passed, you will still want to watch the movie again! I will do my best to make it a work that will stay in everyone's hearts for a long time, so please give me your support from now on!

Ms. Serizawa: "There is a movie and an anime, so there is a lot going on, but it is about love, otaku, beautiful girls, and other things that are close to our hearts, so I think you will have a lot of fun. I think you will be encouraged by the "Tsutsun" who tries her best, and I hope that this work will give you courage, even if only a little. Thank you very much for your cooperation. I hope this film will give you courage, even if only a little.
