(The following is the official report of the stage greeting.)

Soma Saito, who played the main character Tokio Furuta, said, "I can simply enjoy various emotions without putting them into words.

Rikiya Tomizono, who makes his debut as a voice actor with this work, played the overly cute and feminine Kotaro Tojima, and revealed that while the character has grown, he has also grown.

Tomizono said he was so nervous during recording that he almost lost his voice, but "it was like a dream and I was so happy," he said. Looking back on the recording session, Mr. Saito and the others looked at Ms. Tomizono with warm eyes like a big brother.

Yuichiro Umehara, who plays the role of Shun Goto, the butler of the heroine, Horiko (Sakiko Horinomiya), said, "At first, I thought they were mature characters.... Saito-san recalls fondly how he and Tokio used to love books and how he used to wonder if there was a heroine in a book somewhere. He said that there were similarities between him and Asimo, but Mr. Uchiyama, who played the role of Asimo, said that there were no similarities between him and Asimo. He said the exact opposite, and the audience laughed.

When the MC asked about the key word of this film, "mote", Mr. Tomizono said, "It is cool to see someone who is trying hard and working hard at something," while remembering "mote" in his childhood. People who work hard for their dreams and jobs are really sparkling. Saito also said, "The same thing! Saito also said, "The same thing!" He also said that people with a gap like Shun Goto in the play are "popular" among the audience. Mr. Saito immediately answered "Mr. Uchiyama" and Mr. Uchiyama, who does not laugh easily, said, "I am happy when he laughs! They talked about the gap between a person who is usually cool and doesn't show emotion and a person who is cute when he becomes emotional.

Regarding the theme song "High School Princess" sung by the five members of the main cast as "Odawara Jyosei High School's 'Motomen' Club," Mr. Umehara said that the song is a good one and that it easily catches one's ear, and that even after a long time has passed since its recording, he still hums the catchy melody in his head whenever he hears it. Even now, after a long time has passed since the recording, he still hums the tune in his head because of its catchy melody.

Mr. Tomizono recalled the first time the song was used in the trailer, which gave him goosebumps and made him happy.

Finally, Mr. Saito, on behalf of the audience, expressed his feelings about the film, saying, "It is not a straightforward coming-of-age story, but it is a work that gives you the courage to take the first step forward when you fall in love with someone. The greeting speech ended with a great success.
