Full text of the comment

Megumi Hayashibara (Sailor Galaxia)
At the very end, I wondered if they wanted me to play the role of "no shortage of opponents". I accepted the role based on this interpretation. After reading the original work, I was conscious of the fact that she has her own righteousness. Her obsession with gaining strength is the reverse of loneliness and emptiness. I engraved the happiness that she wishes for at the bottom of her heart.
The recording was with Koto-chan, and my heart was filled with the thought that ah...Koto-chan had always been Usagi-chan...and that she would always and surely always be Sailor Moon. I am truly honored to be Sailor Moon's last partner. Thank you, Koto and Usagi-chan.
This is truly a work that can be enjoyed by parents and children, couples, alone, or with friends, and is full of enduring, friendship and love. Please watch the final battle of Sailor Moon.

Nana Mizuki (Princess Fireball)
I never thought that the day would come when I would be able to participate in "Sailor Moon," which I have loved since I was a child! I was really happy! I put all my love and energy into my performance, hoping that my voice would convey the core strength and flexibility of Fireball, her straightforward heart for her friends, and her loving and receptive nature. The transformation scene, which I have been longing for, is full of spirit! (Laughs)
I was moved by the image of Sailor Moon, who defies any hardship and faces forward without being defeated by the great mission she has, in order to protect the world she loves and to bring back the people she loves. I believe that the message of the film has many messages that resonate even more now that we are in a time of continuing uncertainty. I hope you will witness the noble and beautiful courage of the Sailor Senshi as they fight for the people they love in the theater!

Kotono Mitsuishi (Chibi-Chibi)
I am very happy to be taking on the role of Chibi-Chibi. Her roots are completely different from the 90's anime, which is something I am looking forward to. Cosmos is the most difficult story in the original series, so I carefully read each word of the script. What I thought was great was that director Tomoya Takahashi followed the storyline and completed the film with a lot of respect for 90s anime. I think it's a must-see before and after."
