by The official PV for the TV anime “April Showers Bring May Flowers,” based on the original work by Sakagaku Roku, has been released. The series will begin airing on TOKYO MX, MBS, and BS Nippon TV from July 4, in an early morning classroom. The PV starts with Ueno Yosuke witnessing Tabata Hana, who is acting like a heroine in an early morning classroom. This incident leads to the depiction of Hana and Yosuke getting closer in school life, after school, and even in their private lives.
The video also features the character voices of Uguisudani Sumire, played by Aoyama Yoshino, and Gotanda Tetsuo, played by Hosoya Yoshimasa, as well as the opening theme “BLOOM (feat. Ayumu Imazu)” by TWS for the first time. Hatano Yu will play the role of Shinbashi Tsutomu, and Koichi Makoto will play the role of Ueno Keisuke. Hana and Yosuke’s classmate, Shinbashi, has a bright personality and is a central figure in the class, but he is wary of others due to a bitter experience he had in middle school.
Keisuke is Yosuke’s younger brother, and although he is an elementary school student, he possesses judgment skills that rival those of adults, but sometimes shows a childish side. Hatanaka commented on Shinbashi, “He is a character I can relate to, and it was fun to play him! He’s bold, but I hope he can still maintain his sensitive side and face this role!!” Koichi said of his impression of the work, “I laughed at the gap between Tabata-san’s negative and withdrawn personality, but his inner rampage and I were healed by the natural and cheerful Ueno-kun every episode.”
The ending theme will be “Souvenir” by GLASGOW. Vocalist and guitarist Aratani commented, “I hope that Souvenir will be a song that gives Hana-chan, Ueno-kun, and everyone who loves this work a push forward.” “April Showers Bring May Flowers” is a school love comedy centered around Tabata Hana, a high school girl who is not confident in her appearance but dreams of a romance like in a shojo manga, and Ueno Yosuke, a handsome guy at the top of the school caste system. Hana is played by Hayami Saori, and Tsuchiya Shimba plays Yosuke.
Comment from Hatanaka Tasuku (role of Shinbashi Tsutomu) Impression of the work To be honest, I can understand Tabata’s feelings, so I read the original work while empathizing with him. In the midst of all that, I like it. It makes me realize that “I love you” is such a warm feeling, and I like this work. Enthusiasm for playing the character Shinbashi is also a character that I can empathize with, although he is not Tabata, and it is fun to play him! He is bold, but he also has a sensitive side, and I hope I can do this role justice. Please support Shinbashi as well!!!
Comment from Koichi Makoto (role of Ueno Keisuke) Impression of the work: A must-see for those who want to feel the heart-warming excitement! When I read the original work and while doing the dubbing, I laughed at the contrast between Tabata-san, who is negative and withdrawn but raging inside, and the natural and cheerful Ueno-kun, who was a source of healing in every episode.
The love between these two people… You will want to support them with all your might. And the quirky and warm characters who support them. You will want to immerse yourself in this world and spend your youth with them. Enthusiasm in playing the character Keisuke-kun, who I will be playing, is Ueno-kun’s younger brother, and has a personality that is the complete opposite of his older brother. He is remarkable and mature, speaking to the core of the matter. But he… is actually in unrequited love with a specific person.
The expressions of a boy in love that he sometimes shows, his conflicts, his childishness at this age, his frustration… Because he is a low-energy character, I played him with care to see the changes when his heart is moved. Please look forward to Keisuke-kun’s performance! GLASGOW’s comment about his enthusiasm in taking on the ending theme and the song: Congratulations on the anime adaptation.
I read the entire original work and was moved by its purity. Hana-chan is so brave… We wanted to be a part of such excellent work, so we wrote the song “Souvenir.” We hope that “Souvenir” will be a song that encourages Hana-chan, Ueno-kun, and everyone who loves this work. We are very honored to be in charge of the ending. Please enjoy both the anime and the song. Vo.Gt.Aratani
