Congratulatory comments from the cast

Kazu Laser

At the beginning of the program, you introduced me as a representative Gundam fan in the entertainment industry, which is never the case for a wooden person like me...but I never thought that I would be involved in such a job, and I am already filled with emotion.
Congratulations on your 45th anniversary. I hope you will continue to call me every year for the 46th, 47th, and 48th anniversaries!

Takanori Nishikawa

Congratulations on the 45th anniversary of Gundam.
It was a lot of fun to be able to talk like this with so many people from different generations, and above all, to be able to talk in the common language of Gundam.　

Kanata Hongo

Congratulations on the 45th anniversary of Gundam.
I had a lot of fun today! I was able to talk about Gundam with my seniors who also love Gundam and those who are interested in learning more about Gundam, so today was a very enjoyable day.

Rini Takagi (Momoiro Clover Z)

I am very happy to be invited to the 45th anniversary program of Gundam, which is loved by people all over the world! I was told by many people about the appeal of Gundam, and I realized once again that there is nothing better than liking Gundam. I want to know more and more about Gundam.
Congratulations on the 45th anniversary.

Nicole Fujita

I was a Gundam beginner, but I learned a lot from people who have a lot of Gundam love, and I thought I would like to start Gundam a little!　I would like to start with one of the manga as well as the anime, as they looked fun.
Congratulations on the 45th anniversary of Gundam.

Mumei

Congratulations on the 45th anniversary of Gundam.
I was originally a Gundam fan, but through the program I learned that there are still many more works, series, and goods. There were a number of things I was interested in, so after I get home, I want to look at more works and buy more goods to show off to my friends!
