Kaidou Asuka
Kanata suddenly shouted, “We will appear in the movie” during the call with our manager, Maeda-kun. At first, I didn’t know what it was, but I was surprised to find that the trajectory of the duo of LIP x LIP will become a movie. We were also present at the site when the duo first met each other, so is this also fate? I was very happy when I found out that I can see HimePime, who can only be seen during the stream, on screen.

Kanata Ichigoya
When I was so surprised and shouted to Asuka, “We will appear in the movie”, he got angry (laughs).
Our manger Mae-chi is a bit of a sadist. Everything is so sudden. But his tension is not going any less makes it feels like a clerical job (laughs). Isn’t this really amazing like Bon Festival and New Year came together!?

Takahiro Sakurai (role of Maeda Riku)
-Tell us about your impression of this work.

Let’s call it Cinderella Story, it was a work associated with it.
However, not all of the underlying suffocation is wiped out.
The last scene of this work may be just the beginning of them.
I thought it was up to them to decide what the happy ending was, and their last words speak for themselves.

-Tell us your impression of your character and thoughts about this role
He will not appear a lot, but all his appearances will be memorable.
I feel some strong will in his muttering. I done the recording while giving off an impression of a songwriter.
