Soumi Yoko comments
–Could you tell us about the appeal of this work?
What can I say? It’s the “let’s go slow” spirit of Yoh. If we could, we’d go slow too! I think that’s what he’s longing for. And not only is Yoh-kun loose, he’s also strong! …… It’s too unfair!
–Can you tell us about your enthusiasm for playing the character of Lyserg Diethel?
Twenty years ago, I was given the role of Lyserg, even though I had never played a boy before. It was a regular role on ……. The excitement of that time is coming back to me now! I’ll do my best to go back to the beginning and look forward to working with everyone!
