I never thought I’d be able to get involved with basketball, which I’ve been involved with for so many years, in this way.

This was my first time bringing a character to life with my voice, so it was a great learning experience to learn a different approach to expression. I was able to genuinely enjoy the experience.

I hope you can feel the pure emotions I had as a student. Unfortunately, the Paralympics have been postponed, but I’m looking forward to the day when I can see the athletes shining and having fun!

When I saw the animation for this anime, I was surprised to see that they were able to perform such an amazing feat.

I play the role of a female athlete who takes on difficult challenges.
I hope that people can relate to the way she tries her best to grow up.

The Paralympics have been postponed for a year, but I hope that people will be encouraged by this animation.

Miura Daichi

I made an enjoyable song based on the theme this time of wheelchair basketball.

The song “Not Today” expresses the shivering excitement of athletes and the inverse proportion to the calmness of their minds as we try to imagine what they might be thinking right before a game.
I hope you will enjoy it along with the wonderful animation.
