＜I was very excited to see how the story would unfold and how Michiru would look and move on screen, and I can't wait to play Michiru!

The role of Nazuna Hiwatari: Maria Naganawa

<My enthusiastic comment on playing the role of Nazuna

<Comments on the cast
My name is Kaito Ishikawa, and I will be playing the role of Alan. I was surprised when I was informed that I had been cast as Alan. I was filled with anxiety because I had accepted the role on the day of the casting, but I was relieved to hear the title of the film as good news.

<Comments on his enthusiasm for playing the role of Alan
Alan is still a mystery to me, and there are many things about him that I don't know, so I look forward to learning more about him as the film progresses. I will do my best to follow his thoughts so that I don't miss a single move he makes.

Director Yoh Yoshinari
＜What is your feeling behind the title "BNA BNA"?
BNA has BRAND NEW ANIMAL in the title, but it could also be BEAST NEW AGE, BEING NEO ANIMAL, or a synthesis of BEAST and DNA. However, they all share the same meaning of a new existence that can change into anything. The biggest thought behind the title is liberation from various captivating things, and I hope that the rest will be felt by each person who sees the film.

■Kazuki Nakajima
<How do you feel about the work "BNA B.N.A."?
You all know very well that Director Yoshinari's animations are amazing. This time, I took a stance to see how much I can help him in what he wants to do. I believe that we will be able to create something new and different from the previous works directed by Imaishi and created with TRIGGER. Please look forward to it.
