Comments from Hanazawa Kana
Q1. What is “Urusei Yatsura” to you?

I first met with “Urusei Yatsura” when I was little. I was shocked to “Lum’s Love Song”, which I remember listening to it, and listened multiple times so that I can sing this cute song one day! This song is one of my favorite that I always sing in karaoke.

Q2. Please tell us Ran’s appealing points and what you wish to keep in mind and looking forward to as you play her in the anime.

She has the dual personality, which are the extreme cute mode and the super angry mode, so I am certain that she never makes you feel bored. There is the reason for her to behave either cute or angry, so I hope I can play her powerfully as I stand by her emotions and thoughts.
