<The full commentary is below>
Tanezaki Atsumi (as Dai)
I truly loved "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" when I used to watch it as a child. With this great passion for that work, I've always hoped to see a new series of it. I will do my best to make sure that both those who are new to this work and those who had the same passionate feelings about it in the old days will able to enjoy it.
Toyonaga Toshiyuki (as Pop)
My favorite adventure of Dai...
On top of that, I never thought that I would be able to play Pop.
I wish I could tell that to myself as a teenager since I read this manga so many times. "You'll be voicing Pop in the future!".
In that case, you would spill some mucus from your nose as you say, "That's amazing!".
I'll do my best to play my character, including the uncool scenes, the coward scenes, and the scenes full of courage! Medoroaaaaaaa!!
Komatsu Mikako (as Maam)
A world that everyone longed for, a group of characters that gave courage to everyone, a story that inspired many people. I feel very honored to be involved in such a work that can be considered as the Bible of Life. I want to put my heart into it and express the true spirit of Maam through my voice!
Also as a viewer, I'm looking forward to seeing the newly colored "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" of the Reiwa era!
Hayami Saori (as Leona)
I feel happy and nervous at the same time of being able to be involved in this work that is loved by so many people.
While enjoying the noble and strong-willed (and sometimes mischievous) Leona, I'll do my best in the dubbing session by joining this great adventure with all the staff and cast members. Let's look forward to the release!
Sakurai Takahiro (as Avan)
My name is Sakurai Takahiro and I will be the voice of Avan.
He is a character who appears to be so mature in terms of thought and interpersonal distance that he earned the saying, "A wise man keeps his knowledge to himself". He learned how to draw his own strength.
I think this is a work that will be nostalgic for our generation, and those in their teens and twenties will be able to find excitement in the fight scenes.
Let's all of us join this great adventure with Dai and his friends!
Kaji Yuuki (as Hyunckel)
I never thought I'd be able to get involved in the "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" as a voice actor and even as Hyunckel...! Seriously, I really feel like I'm having a dream. I'm so happy.
When I was a child, I used to read the manga with great excitement and do impressions of its characters. I actually might have used the "Amudo" impression during the audition (laughs).
I will do my performance with great responsibility and pride. Stay tuned for the broadcast!
