Takuatsu Terashima as Jun Uenoyama (Red)

-How do you feel about playing this role?
He is 29 years old, a mature man who can do his job well, but he has someone he likes nearby, but he is a bit naive and doesn't want to step out of his comfort zone in love.

-What would you like to say to the audience who enjoys voice dramas and videos?
I don't think the voice cannot take care of your skin, but I think it can moisturize your heart, so I hope you enjoy listening to it over and over again.

Yoshimasa Hosoya, who plays the role of Kouhei Okunomori, Blue
-How do you feel about playing this role?
Entertaining? I think it is a character created with a In a good way, I think it is interesting that the setting is so surprising, "Why? I felt that the surprising setting was interesting and would be fun for the users.

-What would you like to say to those who enjoy the videos and voice dramas?
I personally feel that the word "botanical force" doesn't sound like a cosmetic product, but in Japanese it is "the power of plants. I see, it sounds like a cosmetic product. I hope you will enjoy the "Botanical Force" as you imagine it from the sound of the word.

Ryohei Kimura, who plays the role of Meito Wakakusa in Yellow
-How do you feel about playing this role?
I think it is a common character that is used to women, rather flirtatious, but single-minded about the person he loves, but because he is a childhood friend, I thought it was cute that I could bring out his ease and carelessness that he doesn't show to other girls. In the scene where the heroine is sleeping and reveals her true feelings, I asked her if she could hear me. and then he said, "What did you say? What did you say? I then reveal my true feelings to the heroine when she says, "No, no, I'm not going to say anything else. (Laughs.) It's like you're saying something embarrassing. That's so cute.

-What would you like to say to the people who enjoy your videos and voice dramas?
Of course it is good if the product is useful for daily use, but I think it will be even more fun to use it on a daily basis if you become more attached to the product as you get to know the characters. I would be happy if you feel more familiar with our products and Meito.

Junichi Suwabe as Mamoru Green Awashima
-How do you feel about playing this role?
Compared to the other characters, he seemed to have a more mature taste. Not only as a professional, but also as a human being, he seemed to have a bit of a relaxed attitude, and I enjoyed playing him without being overbearing. I was conscious of giving him a "raw" look, or rather, a more realistic impression of his existence. I hope everyone will like my performance.

-What would you like to say to those who are enjoying the video and voice drama?
I am sure that you will be able to feel the presence of Awashima-kun as if he were "right there" with you! I hope I was able to bring a moment of relaxation to those of you who work hard every day.

Shota Aoi as Senka Pink Hazuki
-How do you feel about playing this role?
I thought at first I would try to be cute because I am a friendly character like a dog among the five of them and (my assigned color is) pink, but after learning about the other cast members, I thought about it a lot and wondered if I didn't have to make it too cute because I have a high voice to begin with. I think I was able to smile a lot (during the recording) because I don't smile often in my daily life.

-What would you like to say to those who enjoy the video and voice drama?
Hazuki is such a cute character that she approaches you with her tail wagging, so I recorded her voice so that you can be healed by this original voice drama if possible, so I hope you can be healed by listening to it.
