Fumiya Imai as Yuya Niyodo

I am Fumiya Imai, the voice of Yuya Niyodo in "Kami Kuzu Idol.
What a "trashy" idol role! I am so unmotivated to play this character that every time I record the show, I wonder if it is okay to record while feeling so weak. (laugh).
However, as the recording sessions and music recordings progress, my understanding of Niyodo and Asahi and the others grows, and I find it fun and rewarding to play the role as Niyodo changes and grows. I will do my best so that everyone can enjoy the show. I look forward to your continued support!

Nao Higashiyama as Asahi Mogami

My name is Nao Higashiyama, and I will be playing the role of Asahi Mogami!
Asahi, who is said to be a goddess idol, is a girl who is devoted to idols. Her body is always overflowing with sparkling energy, and I, as the actress, am also energized by her energy! The recording session is now underway, and all the characters are laughing, sulking, making fun of each other and making fun of each other. ...... is a very busy place! (Laughs) I myself will try my best to be energetic. And I am also looking forward to the live scenes! Please look forward to the broadcast of "God's Kuzu☆Idol.

Comment from Shun Horie, who plays the role of Kazuki Yoshino

My name is Shun Horie and I play the role of Kazuki Yoshino. I am very happy to be able to play the role of Kazuki Yoshino, and I would like to thank Mr. Imai, who plays the role of Niyodo, for his efforts in playing the role of Kazuki Yoshino. I'm enjoying watching over the efforts of Mr. Imai, who plays Niyodo, and Mr. Higashiyama, who plays Asahi, while participating in the recording. I think the combination of the three of us is already outstanding, so I would like to continue to work together! Outstanding...isn't it...?

This is all thanks to all of you who have supported us since the time we first published the story.
