●Originally written by Yoichi Takahashi
─ ─ Q. How did you feel when the Junior Youth version was decided to be broadcast?
Many people enjoyed the TV anime "Captain Tsubasa" that aired in 2018, which is why the sequel, "Junior Youth Arc," is now being made into an anime. We hope that everyone will continue to enjoy the story and that the thoughts and feelings we put into the work will be conveyed.

─ ─ Q. Do you have a message for your fans?
The original "Junior Youth Arc" was serialized in the 1980s.
On the other hand, this anime is set in the "present" like the previous one. Compared to the time of the serialization, the distance between Japanese soccer and the rest of the world has become closer today.
When you watch it now, you will see it in a new way. Please enjoy it with a fresh sensation.

This time we are leaving Japan and going up against rivals from all over the world.

─ ─ Q. How did you feel and how enthusiastic were you when you were chosen to appear in the Junior Youth version?
First of all, it is a great honor for me to be able to participate in the "Captain Tsubasa" anime, as I am from a generation that has taken the series for granted since childhood.
And to be able to voice Schneider in the anime is even more special.
I was like, "Yes, yes, this is it! This is it!" I can't wait to hear the fun, passionate, and intense dialogue that will be exchanged during the recording.

Q. Do you have a message for your fans?
We are pleased to have the "Junior Youth Arc" animated again so that everyone can watch the hot battles.
I will do my best to play the role so that everyone who has enjoyed it up until now and everyone who will be able to experience it from now on will be able to enjoy it!
