Cast comments have also arrived!
(Original text)

Mutsumi Oribe as Mutsumi: M・A・O
I got the impression that Mutsumi is a girl who has a lot of knowledge about insects and is gentle and calm, but also skilled in survival techniques. I also felt a strong affinity with Mutsumi because she is not usually talkative, but when she talks about what she likes, she suddenly becomes very lively and talkative (laugh). I am very happy that the film will be released in theaters and that we will be able to present it on the screen with powerful images and sound. I hope you will enjoy the drama of the insects, which are depicted with great attention to detail in their forms, and the humans who struggle to survive in the harsh environment, in the theater! Please enjoy the drama of insects and humans trying to survive in a harsh environment at the theater!



Rika Tachibana as Chitose Naruse
Chitose Naruse is a very serious and firm chairperson of the committee. Her personality sometimes causes her to clash with others, but she also has a kind and gentle side to her. Although she rarely gets a chance to observe insects closely, they look incredibly cool when depicted on the big screen! And don't miss the slightly sexy scenes of the female characters! (laugh) I think this is the ultimate panic horror film that can only be expressed through animation and CG. I would be happy if you could experience it in the theater.



Misato Fukuen as Ayumi Matsuoka
Finally, the movie version has been released! We have been waiting for it for a long time. I am so excited to see that unique world on the big screen...! I'm so excited to see it on the big screen. I hope you will be thrilled by Mutsumi's bravery and be on the edge of your seat with everyone who appears in the film. I would like you to see Ayumi's kindness and strong sense of justice, but most of all, there is that scene that surprised me in the original story. No way! I never thought I would get to perform such a love scene...! I was so nervous during the recording (lol). Please check it out at the theater.




Momo Asakura as Mami Miura
I think the highlight of this work is the depiction of insects. The movements of the giant insects were so realistic that I had goosebumps while recording...! My character, Mami Miura, is a quiet, cute girl who is frightened of both people and insects, but she is a determined girl who will stop at nothing to survive. She runs and screams and vomits... I had a great time doing something I don't get to experience very often. I hope everyone can experience this thrill at the theater soon!

Tomoaki Takahashi as Misuzu Kamino
The "Giant Mushroom Archipelago"... Finally, it has been made into an animated feature film! The story is full of thrilling scenes... The story is full of exciting scenes that will make your hands sweat! The realistic movements of the bugs are also noteworthy. And... The crowdfunding project "Tomoaki Takahashi vs. Giant Jigabachi" bromide is also a very powerful photo! We are looking forward to next year's release... Please look forward to it!



Yurika Kubo as Ai Ino
My name is Yurika Kubo, and I play the role of Ai Ino. My impression of Ai Ino is that she is the type of girl who can get along with both men and women alike because of her cheerful and open personality. Furthermore, in some parts of the work, she gives me a strong sense of justice. In addition, as one of the highlights of the work, there is a gap between the many extreme descriptions and the sexy and seductive way that makes you feel nervous. I personally think this is a highlight of the film.



Takuya Eguchi as Kazuhiko Kai
Kazuhiko is a smart guy who plays a supportive role to the main character. At first, I thought he was a good-natured guy who was wrapped around the strong, but later I realized that he was a guy who could calmly judge situations and read the atmosphere well. I hope I was able to express that. The highlight of the work is the fear of bugs! I think there are many people who are scared of even the smallest bugs. On top of that, these bugs become huge and attack you even more! The despair is amazing! I hope you will enjoy the thrill of wondering whether you will be able to escape from the fear.



Ko Komada, who plays Atsushi Kamijo

Atsushi Kamijo, the character I played this time, is a badass bossy character with a rough look and a rough tone of voice that makes you feel like you don't want to get involved with him. Atsushi has a very selfish mindset, but it is ironic that because of his pressure, he is able to show some kind of leadership in the extreme conditions in which everyone is placed. I hope that you will fully enjoy the real-life exchanges between "humans" who are suddenly thrown out into a world of ferocious and gigantic insects, where survival is at stake, and the fear of when and where the insects might attack!



Marina Inoue as Inaho Enoki
When I was asked to play the role of Inaho Enoki in "Giant Insects," I was surprised to learn that she is a character from another work of yours. I was surprised to learn that it was a character from another work of the professor. I was surprised to learn that it was a character from another work by the professor.
