Kamiki Ryuunosuke
The anime will give you vigor and strength.
We all have “hero” figures we look up to surrounding us. I myself felt the power from the people around me and would like to thank them for it.

Shimono Hiro
I always had an interest in parasports, and was grateful to be able to perform with Kaji-kun and Kamiki-san! After performing, I found out how the passion and sense of speed are the same as any other sport. I’ve loaded my performance with what I felt through the production.

Kaji Yuuki
I believe this anime can introduce parasports to many people, including anime fans and sports fans. I myself received much courage and energy from the show.
