Yoshinoh Aoyama (Meg Raspberry)

When I read the original story, I felt the overwhelming light she radiated.
I am honored to have been entrusted with a part of Meg Raspberry's life, who is naïve, healthy, and hardworking.
I think I will give Meg some of my tears of joy that I shed when I was chosen to appear in the film...!
Thank you very much for your continued support.
（I look forward to working with you in the future.)

Yoshiko Sakakibara

I came across this work when I was thinking that I must prepare myself to accept death, which will surely come someday, with grace from now on. It was like a revelation to me.
I will accept it firmly together with Meg.
