The role of Fujino will be played by Yumi Kawai, an actor who is scheduled to appear in works such as Anno Kagawa, the lead role in ``Annokoto'' and Jun Sakamoto in ``A Girlfriend in April' ', and the role of Kyomoto will be played by Chinatsu, the main character of `` Atsui Chest Sawagi ''. Mitsuki Yoshida, who plays the role of Teru Kitasato in ' Kamui no Uta, ' has been chosen as the main character.
Yumi Kawai, who plays Fujino:
My name is Yumi Kawai, and I played the role of Fujino.
``Look Back'' is a manga that touched the hearts of many people. This time, Director Oshiyama and the rest of the production team created an animation, and I added breath and voice to the story in an attempt to add new color to the time that Fujino and Kyomoto lived. This was the first time I had the opportunity to participate in the world of anime, and I did my best to convey the earnest voice that goes along with Fujino's body, which moves wonderfully in the drawings. Be sure to watch the movie “Look Back” in theaters!
Mitsuki Yoshida, who plays Kyomoto:
When I first read ``Look Back,'' I was struck by the realistic world that Tatsuki Fujimoto had created, and I was really looking forward to seeing how this work would be turned into a film.
When I auditioned for the role of Kyomoto and saw the video for the first time, I was so moved that even though it was an unfinished picture, I said, ``Wow! That world is alive!'' and I burst into tears during the recording, even more so when I saw the footage of Fujino and Kyo. I fell in love with the book.
It was my first time working as a voice actor, but I put my heart and soul into my role.
I would be happy if you could look forward to it.
