<Full comments are below>
Hanazawa Kana (Xiaohei) comments
Xiaohei is a character that combines the cuteness of cats and children. I kept in mind to make her cute! and pure! while playing her.So take it both and be cute! That's it! I played keeping this thought in mind.
Xiaohei is exiled from where he used to live, and that begins his growth. He thinks for himself that who is a friend or an enemy. He also experiences an incidents which drastically changes his value, and he gets tougher by experiencing such hardships.At the start of the story, Xiaohei being chased from where he used to live. That is the beginning of his growth. Who is your friend? Who is your enemy? He tries to live judging others this way. Moreover, he found put that the values can be turned upside down.
However, through such a situation, though constant worries, Xiao Hei becomes stronger.
That's why the scene where Xiaohei fights with a strong will is so impressive. The dynamics of the battle scene is the charm of this work, butthe facial expressions and staging of the cute Xiaohei fighting bravely are the best. the look and performance of the cute Xiaohei when he bravely fights is the best. It is a nice opportunity to see each other at the movie theater in the society with an ongoing hardship. Please look forward to it!It's a choking life, but I think it's a wonderful opportunity to have a big adventure in the cinema. Do look forward to it!
Miyano Mamoru (Mugen) comments
I was first drawn into dynamic actions and delicate expression of the animations.I was first for me to participate in animation with such delicate expression, bold action, and politeness.
In this story, fairies and humans living together butand have complicated relationships. There are good and bad behaviorspoints in things in both sides, which creates conflicts. This movie also deals with a very universal theme like "is it to avoid conflict?".Is it possible to avoid conflicts? This work is also dealing with a very universal theme.
Mugen is a human who is involved in the fairy world. I had his "position" of between humans and fairies in my mind, while playing himHe stays boldly on his "position" of between humans and fairies. It is cool to see how his belief can be seen through "position". MoreoverAnd in the movie, Mugen meets Xiaohei, and many others. And thanks to meeting Xiaohei, who is not afraid of anything, we can see what is really matters to each of them.
I am very happy to be able to join the work with such a gorgeous cast memberscast. Please enjoy it at the cinema.
Sakurai Takahiro (Fengxi) comments
Fengxi is a very empathetic character. His actions may not be right, but there is always a "reason", and I can understand his feelings that "You can't change the world by doing only the right things". He just chasing the light ahead. So I was careful not to make him looks like a villain. When fighting Mugen, he went straight to victory. I think when Xiaohei met Mugen and Fengxi, those two people like light and shadow.
The dynamic actions are skillfully woven into the story of this movieIn this work, the action is skillfully woven into the story. I think it's a difficult experience to enjoy this work with a simple but essential message.I believe it well This is my pride. I met this work as I get able to reconfirm my origin. I hope you can see it on the big screen of the cinema.

"To All Dads" (Subete no Touchan Tachi he) is the video exclusively released on the internet to cheering all working fathers around Japan by featuring Nohara Hiroshi from "Crayon Shin-chan". This movie is directed by Takahashi Ayumu, who had directed the bonds between the father Hiroshi and his family members in "Crayon Shin-chan: Intense Battle! Robo Dad Strikes Back".
This movie "To All Dads" has been created as the promotion movie for Suntory "Craft Boss".
With a theme dedicated to working dads, it shows 5 years of Nohara Family from the birth of Shinnosuke and the emotions of the father, Hiroshi.
<Full comments are listed below>
The special comment from the director Takahashi Wataru
Q. What do you think after you watched the completed video?
I did not think that I could create work only with Hiroshi's hidden feelings, so this was a new experience. I once again thought about Nohara Hiroshi, and I concluded that he is a friendly dad who looks awesome, but actually not so much.
I believe he had to spend busy days by raising a child while working outside the home, but I think how he complains and smells is charming, in other words, he makes me comfortable. He can show such true feelings because his family, including his wife Misae, Shinnosuke, and Himawari accept him to the fullest. They are such a wonderful family.
---Please tell us the highlight of this video.
Please take a close look at the growth of all family members, since it depicts 5 years of Nohara family. I think 5 years from the birth of a child is like experiencing a storm, but there are both happy and sad incidents during those 5 years. I think how this video depicts multiple emotions through the father Nohara Hiroshi is the point to pay attention to.
---Please tell us the message in this video.
I wanted to deliver a feeling with warmth, hard work and courage through the life of Hiroshi. Also, there are funny scenes in the video, so please laugh together with Nohara family.
---Takahashi-san, we believe that you have participated in multiple "Crayon Shin-chan" series, but this is the first time for you to direct the web video. What is the difference between the movie version?
Simple to say, it is the length. It was difficult to deliver the message with a given time since the web anime is shorter compared to the movie. I created this video by thinking that I am going to create a promotion movie for the movie called "Story of Nohara Hiroshi". Also, since the staff was whom I have worked together for a long time, so I could create the video being relaxed.
---Could you send the message to "Crayon Shin-chan" fans around Japan.
I think this video gives you power. Please say "thank you" to your dads. I think "thank you" will make Japan brighter.

"Rurouni Kenshin: The Final" will be released on April 23, 2021, and "Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning" will be released on June 4, 2021.
＜The full text of the comments is below.
Takahashi Issei (Katsura Kogoro)
This is the third film I've worked on with director Otomo-san, and I was grateful and fascinated to be able to act in the Otomo group again.
When I played Katsura-san, I tried to observe Kenshin's mind, but Sato-san was always there as Kenshin, so I could act without worry.
Murakami Nijiro (as Okita Soji)
I feel extremely happy to be able to play the role of Okita Soji.
I tried my best to keep the originality of the character, while at the same time working hard on the action.
This time "Kenshin" is different from the previous ones because he is the "Hitokiri Swordsman", so the air he wears as Kenshin and what Ken-kun looks at in his eyes are different and impressive.
Andou Masanobu (as Shinsaku Takasugi)
I had an image of Otomo-san as a unique, energetic, and vigorous director.
I wanted to have a session with such a person, so I was honestly happy to receive the offer.
Otomo Keishi (Director/Screenplay)
About Takahashi-san
The end of the Tokugawa shogunate was a time of ephemeral moments, a time when a murderous glamour was appropriate. Issei is able to find the one and only way to express this. Moreover, his depth is unbelievable. The way he plays Katsura-san, you can feel his detailed feelings for Kenshin, and at the same time, I think he will definitely be a strong accent for the film.
About Murakami-san
The image of Okita-san naturally overlapped with Nijiro's sharp image of small stature. I think he did a wonderful job of portraying this fascinating character with a unique mood, including the dream confrontation with Kenshin.
About Andou
I really felt that Andou Masanobu has a unique charisma that captivates people's hearts in an instant. The extras were instantly uplifted and taken in by his charm. I think that Takasugi-san's boldness and delicacy, his presence that cannot be summed up in one word, were more than adequately embodied.
