＜Comments by Emi Nitta
Six years have passed since the beginning of "IRODORI MIDORI" and my long-cherished dream of making a TV anime has come true! Watching the PV reminded me of so many things.... Watching the PV, I remember so many things... The smiles on everyone's faces filled my heart with joy. I hope you enjoy the Irodori Midori style of flirting in the anime as well!

＜Ayaka Fukuhara comment
Congratulations & thank you for making the short anime, Irodori Midori!
Irodori Midori has made history with episodes and live performances, and I can't believe that the day will finally come when we can see everyone in action...! I'm so moved!
They are all so expressive, I can't wait to see what kind of faces they will show us.
I can't stop being excited about Arin because she looks so good in all kinds of expressions, such as flustered, smug, and nervous!
I hope that those who have always loved "IRODORI MIDORI" and those who are just starting out with the anime will enjoy it as well!

I'm also excited to see all the members of Irodorimidori and Chanagi in the anime world.

If you know Irodorimidori from the anime, I would be very happy if you could come to the game center to play tunism and meet the Irodorimidori members.

Staff comments arrived!

Original story: Lettuce Shichijo (IOSYS)
When we were told about this project at the time of its launch, we thought it would be a one-off songwriting project, but as we followed their path as the original work, we were given the opportunity to come to this point.
I would like to thank everyone involved and all the fans for their support, and I look forward to enjoying "Irodori Midori" with you from the first episode onward.

Original story: Cabbage Saito (SEGA)
What are you going to animate for? Dream? Publicity? Of course there is that, but it is also to repay the debt of gratitude to the work that grew up with many connections and luck. I think we wanted to create a place where all the staff and cast who breathed life into the work, and all the fans who supported it, even if only for a moment, could come together and enjoy it. Because animation surely has that power. Let's enjoy it together!

Character draft: Hisasi
It's finally here! The anime adaptation!
The story started with 5 members, but before we knew it, there were 14!
What started out as a game has now grown into a large group.
What started out as a game, has gone through a series of live performances, and now is being made into an anime.
We hope that this anime adaptation will help new people to understand the cute yet passionate story of Irodori Midori.
Let's all continue to make Irodori Midori exciting!

Director: Chiharu Tanaka
I made this film with the hope that the girls' school life would be colorful and vivid.
We hope you can feel the colors of those colorful days through the screen.
We hope you will enjoy watching it to the end.

Series Composition: Rei Ishikura
This is a work in which the characters with unique identities, who are truly "Irodori Midori," get to know each other and grow through various conflicts, and in the process of making this work, I was reminded how nice it is to have friends. I believe that both those who know "Irodori Midori" and those who don't will enjoy this work. We hope you enjoy it.

Character Design: Kaori Goto
I was in charge of character design and instrument design. I am very nervous and anxious about my first major role, but I hope you enjoy watching it.
