Postrecording report (in Japanese only)

Suzuki, who was chosen to play the heroine for the first time in this production, could not hide her nervousness as it was her first time to play a main role, but Ban, who played the other heroine, Shuri, gently asked her, "Are you nervous? Ban, who played the other heroine, Shuri, started the recording session in a friendly manner, gently asking "Are you nervous? Just like the relationship between Shuri and Yuna in the play, Ban took the lead in the dialogue as well. Director Kuroyanagi was impressed by Suzuki's ability to absorb the role and her naturally pure and fresh voice.

After the recording, Ban commented on her role as Shuri, "I was saved many times by Ms. Suzuki's straightforwardness, Mr. Shimazaki's kindness, and Ms. Saito's reassurance. Saito, who played Kazuomi, also commented, "I felt comfortable with the expressions and emotions that could only come from actually talking to each other.

Cast comments have also arrived!

Comments from the four main cast members have also been received, and are presented below (all in Japanese).

■Megumi Ban / Playing the role of Akari Yamamoto
I tried to value what comes out in the dialogue, so I didn't try to solidify it too much. In fact, I think I was able to see the outline of Shuri's heart by receiving thoughts from Yuna, Rio, Kazuomi, and her family and people around her. As I confronted Shuri's dexterity and clumsiness, and her struggle to be completely honest, I was saved many times by Ms. Suzuki's straightforwardness, Mr. Shimazaki's kindness, and Mr. Saito's reassurance.

Marika Suzuki / Playing the role of Yuna Ichihara
I was very nervous because it was the first time for me to play a dialogue in front of a microphone, but everyone was very kind and when I was getting impatient and had to re-record many times, they tried to change the atmosphere and told me something different. I was shocked at my inexperience, but I tried my best to improve my performance by finding new things to work on each time we recorded the scene. Through this recording, I would like to improve my own performance so that I can catch up with my seniors, and at the same time, I felt happy to be involved in this kind of work.

Nobunaga Shimazaki / Playing the role of Rio Yamamoto
I played the role of Rio not because of his appearance, but because I wanted to emphasize his human nature. Thanks to the wonderful staff and cast members, I was able to feel the "real life" Rio, even though it is a fiction. Thanks to everyone, I had a lot of fun playing the role. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Souma Saito / Kazuomi Inui
I had never experienced postrecording for a movie version where the main line is divided into several days, but I was very grateful that all four of us happened to be together for the recording on the first day of my participation. Unlike the auditions and music videos, I felt comfortable with the expressions and emotions that could only come from the actual dialogue. It was a calm recording from start to finish, and all four members said they wished they could have more time to talk with each other! All four members said that they would have liked to have more interaction with each other. It was a stimulating and rich recording session! It was a lot of fun!
