Yamadera Kouichi and Ootani Ikue will be co-starring in the youthful fantasy film "Kimi wa Kanata", which is fully backed by Toshima-ku Ikebukuro, the land of manga and animation. They have worked together in various works, including the "Pokémon" series and the overseas drama "Full House", and this will be the first time they will be playing "a doube cast". Under director Sena Yoshinobu, who is working on a animation feature film for the first time, "Kimi wa Kanata" has Matsumoto Honoka, who played Sumiko, the main character's coworker, in the NHK TV series "Hiyokko", and Seto Toshiki, who played Kamen Rider Brave in "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, as the main cast. Mio (voice: Matsumoto Honoka) has feelings for her childhood friend Arata (voice: Seto Toshiki) but hasn't been able to express those feelings to him, and their relationship has been a bit awkward. One day, Mio gets into a fight with Arata over something her friend said. She goes to meet Arata to make up with him, but she has an accident on her way there. When Mio regains consciousness, she find herself in a strange world. Yamadera and Ootani will be double casting Gheemon, the character that guides Mio in the strange world. When asked about when he got the offer, Yamadera said, "I thought it was some kind of mistake, and I asked my manager to confirm the offer immediately. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was double casting with Ootani-san and that it was a cute character, haha." Ootani's reaction to this offer, which is the first time in her career was, "I was excited by the amazing offer! It's such an honor to be given this opportunity." Director Sena explained the reason for double casting Yamadera and Ootani as Gheemon, "I had this image of Gheemon being a weird character, so I thought of changing its voice along with its looks.

It hasn't been revealed how the two will be playing the role, so let's look forward to further information to come up. The film "Kimi wa Kanata" will be screened at nationwide theaters including TOHO Cinemas Ikebukuro from Nov. 27, 2020. <Full comments are as below> Yamadera Kouichi as Gheemon ■Thoughts on being offered a double cast. I thought it was some kind of mistake, and I asked my manager to confirm the offer immediately. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was double casting with Ootani-san and that it was a cute character, haha. ■Thoughts on the recording. Director Sena explained Gheemon's character in-depth and with a strong passion, so I really enjoyed the role. It was quite the experience to play the same role as Ootani-san. Ootani Ikue as Gheemon ■Thoughts on being offered a double cast. I was excited by the amazing offer! It's such an honor to be given this opportunity. ■Thoughts on the recording. Yamadera-san's was cool as always. Cute? Maybe. It was a new experience to dig into the same character together. Working with him was so reassuring. Director/Scriptwriter/Author: Sena Yoshinobu ■The reason for double casting Yamadera-san and Ootani-san I had this image of Gheemon being a weird character, so I thought of changing its voice along with its looks. And when I thought about who I wanted it to be voiced by, Yamadera-san and Ootani-san were the ones who immediately came to my mind. Yamadera-san is like the joker in a deck of cards. He can take on any role perfectly and is a superstar that can express a strong presence even in short lines. And Ootani-san has an amazing voice that continues to soothe everyone who hears it. The idea of double casting came to me when I thought it would be great if the two could voice Gheemon together. ■Thoughts after finishing the recording. I realized again that Yamadera-san is an amazing entertainer who always thinks about giving the audience an enjoyable experience. Ootani-san brought much more cuteness and comfort to the character than I expected. Please come to the theaters to see how the two take on the role of the same character!

Also, as the additional casts, Yamadera Kouichi plays the Owner Cat, an important character who invites the main character Muge to the world of "cats", and Ogi Hiroaki plays Mr. Kusunoki, who is in charge of Muge and Hinode's class. It is known that Hanae Natsuki, who plays Hinode, entered the voice actor industry because he admired Yamadera, the legend among the voice actors, and this is the rare occasion where the teacher and the student participate in the same work. Mr. Kusunoki, who is the teacher for Muge and Hinode's class, was created by imaging Ogi playing the character since the performance director of this movie was a big fan of Ogi. Mr. Kusunoki have a caring personality and lives in his own pace, and the appearance of the character matches well with Ogi's characteristics. The main visual released this time depicts Muge's happy but also the sorrowful expression with the pale light, while Muge looks at Hinode playing with a cat. The meaning hidden in this visual intensifies the expectations toward the story. The animation movie "Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu" will be released in the nationwide movie theaters from Jun. 5, 2020. <Full comments are listed below> 【Yamadera Kouichi, playing the Cat Master】 Q1. Your thoughts when your appearance in the movie was decided Before I knew the movie's story, I became happy to be able to participate in the movie, where Shida Mirai and Hanae Natsuuski play the main characters. Hanae-kun is the underclassman from the office I belong to and is so active that I even become jealous of his popularity. Shida-san is my favorite actress from "The Queen's Classroom", and I became even a bigger fan of her, witnessing her genius acting in this movie as well. Q.2 About your character "the Cat Master" He is mysterious, playing innocent, and evasive unique character. I had so much fun playing him. Q.3 A message toward the fans and who will watch the movie Changing feelings of the two characters, the ordinary scenes, and the mysterious world of cats...everything is neatly and delicately depicted in this wonderful movie. I want people from many generations, especially teens who often have many worries! 【Ogi Hiroaki, playing the homeroom teacher, Mr. Kusunoki】 Q1. Your thoughts when your appearance in the movie was decided I don't know what the staff are thinking because they offered me to play this character. lol The last time I played the character was the movies from overseas, so the staff there was mostly from abroad. I was relaxed in the recordings because I had a translator by my side, but I got nervous in this movie's recordings because the staff was Japanese. Q. 2 About your character "Mr. Kusunoki" Actually, when I got an offer, I knew beforehand that the character was designed to imaging me. I only believed 50% of the story and participated in the recording, because the character Mr. Kusunoki had glasses on,a little old, looked fat, and it did look like me. I played character naturally because the character actually looked like me. I still believe 50% of that story even after I finished recordings. lol Q. A message toward fans and who will watch the movie This is the movie that a family can watch together. Both adults and children can enjoy this movie, and I want everyone to watch this. I love works with family love, so I want the families to watch his as well. Also, I want the people who watch the movie to think that my character is a nice teacher. lol Like, "I want to have such a wonderful teacher like this!" lol It is long because this is the movie, but please refrain from using the smartphone in the movie theaters. 【Yorushika】 I often watch the movie from old times. I watch the movie every time I have free time, and the impressiveness I feel after I finished watching with harmony with music is irreplaceable. I often get charmed by movies that the story and the uniqueness of music fights. The first word I received from the director was "do in a way you want". Yorushika is the band that has a theme when making music, and it was the middle of making a new album with a new concept when I received the offer. I was happy to hear such words and realized that I have to go out of the decided concept and do freely, not only making the music with a concept. The theme song used in this movie output the uniqueness of Yorushika. I expected the song to shine by fighting with the creativity of the movie while creating harmony with it. I can't wait to see the movie at the theaters. (C) 2020 "Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu" Production Committee
