Starring Ami Toma
I was shocked when I heard she had decided to play Kokoro-chan, and I thought she might have misunderstood. I’m very happy because the original “Kagami no Kojo” was recommended and read, and then I bought it myself and reread it.
It was my first time auditioning for a voice, so I was worried that I should be like this, but I thought that there was something similar to Kokoro-chan, so I desperately wanted to win the role of Kokoro-chan. I practiced and challenged. She feels like herself because Kokoro-chan is a little timid and sometimes can’t say a little thing or what she thinks.
When I was reading the original, I was reading while wanting to support Kokoro-chan, so I will do my best to make it a work supported by everyone who sees it the same way.
Original by Mizuki Tsujimura
I felt that “Kagami no Kojo” was a novel that was quite difficult to visualize. However, I imagined that if it were an anime, I would be able to convey the world view of the castle under construction and the thoughts of the main characters in the atmosphere of the original, so I would like to ask for it.
I didn’t realize it when I was writing, but I feel that the setting of going out to the castle with the mirror in my room as the entrance is exactly what I was looking for in books, animation, and movies when I was a teenager. If you open the page, you will find your whereabouts. While reading, become a companion to the main characters. I would be thrilled if this movie also became such an existence for someone.
Also, Director Hara was very much influenced by the time when I was sensitive. I am thrilled to be able to ask the director Hara for “Kagami no Kojo” this time. I look forward to seeing everyone who lives and moves on the screen.
