Report on the Preliminary Screening Event

Yurie Funado, who plays Kaika Konosei, Seria Fukagawa, who plays Yu Meiuchi, Moe Nagamuta, who plays Haruno Takaragi, Shiki Aoki, who plays Shun Raimon, and the director Kaori, all cast members of the TV anime "Stardust Telepath" which will start broadcasting on October 9, attended an advance screening (episodes 1 and 2) with stage greetings on Tuesday, October 3, at The event was held at Shinjuku Wald 9 on Tuesday, October 3. Although it was a weekday, the audience filled the large-screen venue, indicating the high expectations for this work.

　The cast members introduced the characters they played. Kaika is a girl who has difficulty communicating with others, but she tries her best, and I think that's part of her charm," Funato said. But she has a deep maternal love for Kaika, so I want you to see the gap between the two! I want you to see the gap between the two!
Next, Ms. Nagamuta said, "Haruno has the image of a good-natured honor student, but she is also surprisingly romantic and powerful! and tried her best to explain Haruno's charms. In the end, Ms. Aoki told the audience, "Shun Raimon is a sharp girl, and since she plays the important role of a sharp-tempered person among the many blabbermouth members, I hope you will see her sharp side.

　Director Kaori was asked what was the key to casting the four unique characters in the story. Director Kaori answered, "It's hard to put it in one word, but I chose people whose voices are exactly the way I hear them when I read the manga in my head. I believe that only these four people could have done it, and I think you will agree that they are perfect for the job! Fukagawa was thrilled, saying, "As an actor, this is the happiest thing I've ever heard from an actor.

　He said that the postrecording had been finished long ago, and that they had done it in groups at the Corona Disaster. However, these four were mostly in the same group, and Mr. Aoki recalled that "from my point of view, everyone was close to the character's inner life, and I was able to see the three of them getting into a lively mood from a distance. The director was quick to comment, "That's already Raimon Shun! There is no doubt that the inner lives of the four were close to their characters. The four members talked about how they had fun during breaks in postrecording, handing out rare sweets and exchanging information on delicious treats, just like at a girls' school.

　They then talked about the highlights of the first two episodes that will be aired in the future. In the second episode, there is a line that Haruno likes to say, and I hope that when you see it, you will think, "This must be her strength and kindness," said Nagamuta. Ms. Fukagawa declared, "There are a lot of space words in the film, so I want people to see them and I want to make them popular! I want to become a buzzword! Ms. Funado said, "I want you to see how Kaika-chan interacts with everyone and her hard work and straightforwardness! I ask. Director Kaori concluded by saying, "The resolution of the film is such that it can stand up to the big screen. I hope you enjoy the cuteness of the characters, the beauty of the backgrounds, the freshness of the colors, and the expression of light in the filming".

　The five celebrated the 20th anniversary of Manga Time Kirara, the magazine in which "Stardust Telepath" is serialized, which will be celebrated this November. When asked about their memories of Kirara's works, Funato-san, who was into "K-ON! and Aoki said that they were addicted to "K-ON! Director Kaori said, "Speaking of KIRARARA, I directed "Yuyushiki"!　And here, I didn't think I would be allowed to direct a film with the honored title of "Manga Time Kirara's" 20th anniversary, so I'm very happy. Fukagawa-san then confided that when she first became a voice actor and did not understand late-night anime acting, she bought an OVA of "Yuyushiki" as a study piece. The director was happy to hear this. The first late-night anime I ever saw was "Gakkou Gurashi! and that was his first encounter with Kirara's works. After "Gakko Gurashi!", I encountered many other works, such as "Hanayamata". There are many works that made me feel warm and gave me a boost," he said.

　In addition, he shared his memories of his school days in connection with the works, making the pre-airing talk corner a very exciting time. He concluded by saying, "We are going to watch the first and second episodes for the first time with the same feelings as everyone else!　All the actors put their hearts and souls into their performances. Please watch with your eyes wide open!　Please watch with your eyes wide open! Director Kaori said, "The entire staff threw up blood and made this movie. Every episode is like a climax, so I hope you enjoy it! These encouraging words brought the pre-screening talk show to a close.

　The broadcast of "Stardust Telepath" will start on October 9. The story is about a high school girl, Kaika Konosei, who is not good at communication, meets a self-proclaimed alien, Yu Akeuchi, and grows up and develops friendship with Haruno Takaragi, Shun Raimon, and others through making a rocket. The girls' struggles and adolescence, and the gentle world depicted by the original author, Rasko Okuma, have been wonderfully animated, and we hope you will see their brilliance with your own eyes.
