As for how he feels now that the second part of the film has been released, Mitsuishi said, "I am just so happy to be in this space (the movie theater with the audience) and I am soaring. I know everyone's lives have changed dramatically and there are many things to worry about, but I hope we can bring you a little bit of fun today." Fukuen added, "The staff and cast have worked hard to create and deliver the film, so I am happy to see such a wonderful scene at the end of the promotion today, which is the unveiling and birthday of the film. The two who were responsible for the promotion of the show were delighted to be able to see such a wonderful sight at the end of the promotion.

Nojima, making his first appearance at the event, said, "In the first part, Mamoru had no opportunity to play an active role and was ill, but in the second part, we will be able to show you how he has grown. There are many wonderful scenes in which Mamoru finds his own way of being and is reminded of his existence," he said confidently. Matsuoka, who is participating in the series for the first time, said, "When I heard the result of the audition, I thought it was a surprise. When I received the script, I couldn't say "Nn~n~！！！！" with joy in my voice. with an inarticulate joy. The last scene with Chibi-Usa was wonderful! I'm also anxious to see how their relationship will develop in the future.

At the end of the event, Mitsuishi, who had led the cast in the "first theater version in 25 years" and completed many promotional activities, was presented with a surprise flower moon in the shape of the moon, which symbolizes Sailor Moon, as a token of gratitude!

Whenever I go to the studio to record a scene, I am always worried whether I can be Mamoru or not, but when I stand in front of the microphone and glance at Mitsuishi-san, Mamoru's kindness and the way he cares for Usagi come back to me. Today, I can be Mamoru while thinking that Mitsuishi-san is wonderful. I always feel that Mamoru is only Mamoru because of Mr. Mitsuishi," he said, expressing his gratitude.

Fukuen, who also played Chibi-Usa in the new series, said, "Kotono-san is the bridge between the 90's TV anime and Crystal. I think the new series started because of Kotono-san. She is always so nice, a little bit natural, and motherly. I can feel her love for the cast and crew and for the work. I feel that Kotono-san is the Usagi-chan. I hope she continues to be Usagi-chan from now on.

Mitsuishi said, "I am very happy with everyone's feelings. It was a very wonderful day, not to mention the release of the second part. I am happy to be able to enjoy it with everyone.
