Comment from Koki Uchiyama (voice of Daiki Himekawa): My name is Koki Uchiyama, and I am in charge of the voice of Daiki Himekawa. I will do my best to bring out the charm of the original work and characters in the animation. The play-within-a-play will be well-described, so I’ll be paying close attention to how Daiki Himekawa will act.
Yusuke Kobayashi (voice of Sakuya Kamoshida) Comment: I will be the voice of Sakuya Kamoshida! I want to differentiate between the two roles: the actual guy who is passionate about acting and who lives his life as a character on stage. I look forward to the broadcast!
Comment from Seiji Maeda (voice of Melt Narushima): I am Seiji Maeda, who plays the role of Melto Narushima. I’m very happy to be able to play my favorite Melt, following on from the first season. I hope to be able to shoulder Melt’s regrets and pain after going through “Today Ama” and be there for him. I appreciate your support of [Oshinoko] and Narushima Melt!
