Comment from Shinji Kawada

1) Enthusiasm!
George is a very jovial guy.
I would like to play him with all the love I can muster when he was enjoying himself before his surgery.
I hope he will be able to cheerfully face the trials that lie ahead...

(2) A word to your partner, Minami Takahashi, who will be playing the role of George after his sex change
Ms. Minami Takahashi, I don't think we will be able to work together in this way again in the future.
Let's work hard together, transcending gender barriers.

Love me. Love me. Rina mun."

■Minami Takahashi comment

1) Enthusiasm!

I want to show you how worldwide I am! but I lost my foreign accent early on!
The good thing about Rina is that she is not dyed-in-the-wool idol.
I hope to return to the U.S. someday, and I will do my best for that!

(2) A word to your partner, Shinji Kawada, who plays the role of Lina before her sex change.
I never thought that the day would come when we would be able to play one character together.
I got all of my acting inspiration from Mr. Kawada!
Kawada-san is the creator of Lina!
Thank you, father, for your continued support.
