Comment by Watanabe Naomi (as Zirconia)
I never dreamed that I could appear in my favorite series “Sailor Moon”, so I was extremely happy! For me, Sailor Moon is the “light of my life”. I’ve loved it since I was a child, and just watching all the Sailor Guardians makes me crying, and I still love it so much that I keep buying all kinds of items.
When I was offered the role, I wondered if it was for a new Sailor Guardian. But it was Zirconia as the antagonist (laugh). She’s a villain and an old woman character, so I had to lower my voice quite a bit and do it while almost crushing my throat. Even though my heart hurts, I made sure Zirconia’s feelings were felt in my acting, “I’ll defeat the Sailor Guardians!”. I think she is the character that most fits me so far.
In the movie, you can see the cool Sailor Guardians, as well as many powerful enemies. It’s a work that not only our generation but also parents and their children and teenagers will be able to enjoy! I hope you’re all excited and looking forward to it!
