<Cast Comments> (titles omitted)

Machico / Playing the role of Hikari Kokura

I myself learned about beam rifles through "Rifle is Beautiful. Although it is still a minor sport with a lot of "static," I would like to convey the feelings of the girls who fight against various pressures and emotions and are helped by their friends in every shot they make! The warm feelings of youth! I hope you enjoy the anime!

Akane Kumada / Playing the role of Izumi Shibusawa

When I was chosen to play the role, I was genuinely very happy! I was also wondering what a beam rifle is, by the way. I read the original story again and found out that it is a very interesting story. As I re-read the original story and researched the competition in my own way, I became more and more fascinated by it. I will do my best as Sensui Shibusawa so that I can pour out a sunny kindness, and I hope you will love this work as much as I do.

Saki Minami as Erika Meinohama

When I read the original story, I was surprised that such a wonderful competition existed! I was surprised. I think there are still many people who don't know about beam rifles, but I would be happy if this work could make people interested in beam rifles, even if only a little. Personally, I think that high school girls and guns are a great combination! Please enjoy it!

Anna Yamaki / Playing the role of Yukio Igarashi

I first encountered the competition of beam rifles in this work, and I am very happy to have broadened my interests once again. If you have never heard of beam rifles before, I hope you will enjoy "Rifle Life" with Hikari and the others! If you have experienced beam rifles before, you will surely feel the thrill of sympathy!

Natsumi Fujiwara / Playing the role of Akira Shinonome

I am very happy to be involved in this work because I also like games that use firearms such as rifles. I am also very excited to play the role of Akira Shinonome, a very attractive character. I hope that those who enjoyed reading the original work as well as those who enjoy the anime version of "Life is Beautiful" will enjoy watching it. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Rena Ueda / Playing the role of Misa Kuroi

This was the first time for me to experience beam rifle competition. In the recording, there were many monologues by the characters during the competition, and I was surprised to see that they used more physical strength and energy than they appeared to. I will do my best with as much enthusiasm as Chidori High School!

Minami Takahashi / Playing the role of Karen Sakashita

This is a work where you can feel fluff, tension, youth, and everything in between. Please enjoy the mysterious atmosphere and the cuteness of the characters! Hanako, I will do my best!

Mainaka Iwami as Ryoko Mochizuki

I am very happy to be able to perform in such a cute and soothing world! I have a dream to try rifle shooting at least once in my life, so I would like to take this opportunity to try it somewhere. I will do my best to deliver my work to you all in a fun way! Thank you very much for your cooperation!

M・A・O/Asakura Rei

My name is M.A.O. and I will be playing the role of Rei Asakura. He is the head of the shooting club, and while he is strict with himself and others, I found him to be a wonderful and humane character with a sense of weakness and mischievousness. I will do my best to express the charm of Ms. Asakura, so I hope you will check out the anime as well as the original story. I hope you will check out the anime as well as the original!

Yukiyo Fujii / Playing the role of Yuko Tsurumaki

The recording studio was so gorgeous with all the girls that I felt like I was in a manga. Even though I didn't have to prepare for my role, I felt like I was in a manga and thought, "Wow, what cute girls they are...". Ms. Tsurumaki is cute but also a bit strange, so I hope to enjoy playing the role! Thank you very much for your cooperation!
