Comments from the cast】 ※Titles omitted

Q1: What is your impression of this film?

Tomita: First and foremost, I thought the work made me want to go to Kyoto! Tomita: First and foremost, I thought it was a work that made me want to go to Kyoto. The buildings and food in the work are unique to Kyoto, and you can imagine "What kind of antiques and mysteries will appear in this story...! I was thrilled to read the original work because it was filled with so many exciting things. I think the soft and gentle atmosphere of this work is also its charm.

Ishikawa: I had a yearning to see a world like the one in this work spread out in a store I happened to drop in on a whim.
The characters in this work are somehow human, and I felt very familiar with this world. I thought it was very fascinating that it seemed like something that might not exist anywhere else.

Q2: What is your enthusiasm for the role?

Tomita: Aoi and I are from the same hometown and have many things in common, so I feel close to her...!　When I auditioned for the role, I was a high school student just like Aoi, so I thought that I could play the role in my own way and sympathize with the problems of human relations peculiar to adolescence. I hope to grow together with Aoi through the work!

Ishikawa: I am worried about whether I can pronounce the words properly since the character speaks the language of Kyoto. I myself am weak in the accent itself, so I will do my best to reproduce the Kyoto language with the help of the people around me. In addition to his use of language, I would like to play his strong heart, intelligence, and the gap between the two.

Q3. The show will air in July 2018. Please give a comment to your fans.

Tomita: There are a lot of mystery elements in the story, so I would be happy if you could enjoy the story while feeling the romantic atmosphere and guessing along with Mr. Holmes and Aoi. I am also very much looking forward to the broadcast!　Please give my best regards to the TV anime "Holmes of Kyoto Teramachi Sanjo"!
