Cast Interviews (original in Japanese)

Sumire Morohoshi (Kanata Myojo)

Q: What kind of character is Kanata Myoboshi?　What do you find attractive about her?

Kanata is a pure and cheerful character who is straightforward with everyone. She may be a bit of a natural, but she has a core, and the way she always faces things with all her might is very cool. I feel that Kanata's charm lies in the fact that she has a warm aura that melts the hearts of those around her and makes them smile without them even realizing it.

Q：Morohoshi, what do you think are the highlights of "Battle Athletes ReSTART! Q: What do you think are the highlights of "Battle Athletes Undokai ReSTART!

Each of the unique characters has their own deep drama, and I think the story is very worth watching. I hope you will feel a lot of power from the sparkling Kanata and the other characters, such as the heart-throb feeling that only a sports team can have, the bonds with friends, and the way each person pursues his or her own dreams and goals.

Q: Do you have any sports-related memories or episodes yourself?　If so, please let us know. You can also tell us about your personal feelings.

Basically, I am not good at sports, so I used to feel depressed during physical education classes in my school days, but I loved field day. I was a child who liked to be praised, so I remember I tried my best in every event to show my family how good I was. I was especially enthusiastic about dancing. When I look back at the photos from those days, I feel a little embarrassed because only one person's face is in serious mode.

Q: Please tell us about your thoughts and ideas you put into the character of Kanata Meisei and your message to the viewers who are looking forward to the start of the broadcast.

I was inspired by Kanata and her friends, who are looking straight at the goal and putting everything they have at their disposal, and I myself gave my best performance. I hope that everyone will be able to feel the passion that we, the cast, put into the play, as well as the feelings of Kanata and the others. I can't wait for you to see it. Please wait for it with anticipation.

Yui Ishikawa (Eva Gallenstein)

Q: What kind of character is Eva Gallenstein?　What is her charm?

She is "shrouded in a veil of secrecy"...so there is not much I can say about her, but she is just very strong. She seems cold at first glance, but I hope you will pay attention to what she is carrying on her back, how she came to be that way, and how she changes from there.

Q: What do you think are the highlights of "Battle Athletes ReSTART! Q: What do you think are the highlights of "Battle Athletes Undokai ReSTART!

Not only Eva, but also everyone is thinking about something as they participate in the "Battle Athletes Undokai". I was surprised when I realized the big meaning behind this event. Each of them has their own burdens to bear, but the friendships that have developed among them are very passionate. They are rivals and friends, but where do they end up?

Q: Do you have any sports-related memories or episodes yourself?　If so, please tell us. It can be a personal experience, etc.

When I was in junior high school, I was not a member of any sports club (or rather, I went home), but for some reason, I was selected as an athlete or an alternate for three years in a sports competition in which representatives from junior high schools in my ward gathered to compete. Because I wasn't involved in club activities, I enjoyed doing morning and after-school practices with everyone.

Q: What are your thoughts and ideas behind the character of Eva Gallenstein and what message do you have for viewers who are looking forward to the start of the broadcast?

When you hear just "girls having a field day..." you might think it's a fun and playful anime, but behind that, there is a very deep theme hidden in the story. There are many things about Eva that I can't talk about yet, and it is frustrating that I can't write about them here, but I am sure that this is a passionate work that will make you say, "I love my friends! I am sure it will be a passionate work that will make you think, "I love my friends!

Miu Tomita (Sherii Wong)

Q: What kind of character is Sherii Wong?　Q: What kind of character is Sherii Wong and what is her charm?

As the character is described as "a person of hard work who stands up to despair," she is a girl who has worked harder than the word "hardworking" can fully express.
　She is a girl who makes me want to cheer her on, just as I was moved by her hard work when I was playing her.
　I was directed to be very boyish during the first recording session, so I am playing the role with the hope that I will be cool, but also show the cuteness appropriate for my age.

Q: What do you think are the highlights of "Battle Athletes ReSTART! Q: What do you think are the highlights of "Battle Athletes: The Great Undokai ReSTART!

Each of the characters has a heavy past and trauma, but I think the highlight of the show is the way they face up to it and work hard to move forward.
I am sure that by the time you finish watching all the episodes, you will fall in love with everyone!
It is very impressive how everyone, including Sherii, is moved by the main character Kanata and changes, so I hope you will pay attention to the drama of their friendship.

Q: Do you have any sports-related memories or episodes yourself?　If so, please tell us. It can be personal feelings, etc.

I have been practicing karate for about seven years since I was in elementary school, and I have a dan.
I happened to see karate on TV and thought it looked really cool, so when I was going to elementary school, my mother asked me if there was anything I wanted to learn. I remember saying, "Karate! I remember saying, "Karate!
I remember saying, "Karate!" She was very strict about etiquette and speaking up properly, so I am glad that I did it now. Laughs

Q: What are your thoughts and feelings about the character of Sherii Wong, and what message do you have for the viewers who are waiting for the start of the show?

I am sure that you will be moved by the way the girls overcome difficulties with their friends.
I hope you will be on the edge of your seat waiting to see how the "prosthetic limb athlete" will affect the story.
I am putting my best effort into the recording, so please look forward to it!
