Eiji Mikami's Comment
Q1. Impressions of the Work
When I first encountered this series, it struck me deeply, as it resonated with my career as a voice actor. As someone also pursuing a dream, the determination and passion of these egotists moved me repeatedly. This strong will is something I realized I was missing. I am truly honored to be part of Blue Lock, a series that has given me such insights.
Q2. Impressions and Enthusiasm for the Character
I thought he was a charming character. At the same time, unlike the other members of Blue Lock, I felt there was a sense of distance, as if there was a wall between him and soccer. I want to express this "distance from soccer" carefully. I will do my best to keep up with Hiori and the other characters! I'm both nervous and excited!
Sho Hatano's Comment
Q1. Impressions of the Work
I had watched the first season of the TV anime and felt it was a work full of humanity. The characters encounter soccer in various environments, and their efforts sometimes pay off, while other times they are crushed... I have the impression that it portrays these moments with both passion and cruelty.
Q2. Impressions and Enthusiasm for the Character
Nijiro Nanase has a straightforward and bright personality! He speaks in a dialect, which adds a cute charm. His thoughts and feelings are often visible in his expressions. I want to portray Nijiro's unique traits with sincerity. I'll do my best to live each moment with Nijiro!
