Noriko Hidaka (Asakura Minami in "Touch")

─ How did you feel when you were asked to participate in the anime of Mitsuru Adachi's latest serial work "MIX"?

It is like a dream come true to be able to participate in Adachi's work again. Moreover, the setting is Meisei Gakuen, the same school as "Touch". I am very happy to be here.

─ ─ Do you have any message or enthusiasm for the fans of the work?

I wonder how I will feel when I see the characters moving in the studio.
I guess I feel nostalgic and a little ticklish, like when I visit the alma mater from which I graduated. Back then, I was pulled along by you all, but this time, as a Meisei Gakuen alumnus, I will do my best to be a reliable senior!

Producer Koji Nagai, Yomiuri TV
MIX" is set in Meisei Gakuen, the school from the famous "Touch" series. You must be wondering about the relationship between Tatsuya Uesugi and Touma Tachibana, which is depicted in the visuals. We are now preparing for the broadcast, and I am excited every day. I hope many people will enjoy the "thought-provoking" world of MIX, where baseball and romance are involved and something to get caught up in.
