Ishikawa Kaito as Mimura Subaru

Q1. What is your impression of the work?

This story carefully depicts how the members commit to volleyball, and how they are related to each other. Each high school has its own character, and you will be really excited to see their journey to get here.

Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution?

Mimura is an ace that everyone relies on.
I don’t fully understand his feelings so far, so I’m looking forward to the development.

Amasaki Kohei as Ochi Mitsuomi

Q1. What is your impression of the work?

Pure, honest, I thought this is what youth story should be.
I like this kind of story as we only have a limited time to play sports in school days, which is transient but has a drama.
Also, the story is set in Fukui, so the characters speak with the Fukui dialect throughout the series.
I am from Osaka, so I studied it hard.
Please watch Mitsuomi, Subaru, and Fukuho are playing active roles!
Thank you for supporting us!

Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution?

He significantly changed how to commit to volleyball.
I quit the club that I belonged to in high school as I hurt my back, but I could not make a decision to be a manager, probably because I was not determined enough to support other members, and I was not passionate enough to be involved in the sport in a different position and to find another dream there. I don’t regret the decision, but still I admire Mitsuomi’s decision.

Opening theme: yama

To commit to something with support from friends. I thought this was what youth days should be. The lyrics of ‘Mahi’ describe those who face difficulties while dealing with themselves, which will remind you of the main story. Please listen to the song, and feel their persistence.
