PV commemorating the release of the latest 8 volumes of comics

In the PV released to commemorate the release of the latest volume, Akira Ishida, who played Kirishima Miyama in the volume 5 PV, Koji Yusa, who played Shoma Toriashi in the volume 6 PV, and Hiroshi Kamiya, who played Thistle Suo in the volume 7 PV, are reunited.
The video will be available for a limited time only until January 20, 2024, so take this opportunity to check it out.

■ Comment from Akira Ishida, who plays Kirishima

It has been a long time since I recorded a PV for "I want a stranger in my next life.
Last time I was speaking alone, but this time it is composed of three characters, so I am looking forward to seeing how it will turn out when combined with the others.
I hope everyone will listen to it and read the latest 8 volumes of the comics. I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope you will read the latest volume 8 of the comics.

■ Comment from Koji Yusa, who plays Shoma

The previous PV was only a one-person version, so it was fun to participate in the three-person version this time.
The lines are from the original story, but since the other person does not appear, I was able to make a strong impact and do a little more than the original.
The character voice bonus in the 8th volume of the comic had a lot of freedom in the length of the lines, so I focused on the atmosphere of the story. I think you can understand the seriousness of Shoma's thoughts and feelings. If I had to say so, I would have liked to have talked with Kirishima.
I hope you, the readers, will enjoy it. And please support Shoma!
Please also send your requests to hear more to the right place (laughs).

■ Comment from Hiroshi Kamiya, who plays the role of Thistle

Thistle has only been on the scene for a short time and is still a mystery to us, so he was truly a character that was elusive.
Both Mr. Ishida and Mr. Yusa play their roles with a certain charm, so I thought it would be a good idea if I joined them and messed up the audience's mentality!
The appearance of the third man, Thistle Suo, makes the future even more unpredictable, so please look forward to the latest volume of "I want a stranger in my next life!
