Yano Chizuru, voiced by Komatsu Mikako
When I was reading the original work, it has exalted me to the blue blue sky. I will never forget the refreshing sensation of the interchange between the exaltation and romance. My character, Chizuru, is the motivator of the team, as well as a cool character with a strong sense of responsibility, but she actually has a delicate side. Due to a certain reason, she treated Tamaki harshly. As this work has the theme of the sky sports, gliding, I am looking forward to the depiction of the sky and it also filled with charming and energetic characters. I'm sure that Tamaki will guide you persistently to the sky. The refreshing, bittersweet, and grand blue sky! Please look forward to it.
Asahina Yo, voiced by Ono Daisuke
I believe everyone has a memory of them doing their best. As well as things that will forget eventually. This is a passionate and refreshing story that will help to remind you of those important memories. The character that I am voicing, Asahina is a person "who won't give up on his dream". There are various moments that I shared the same feeling as him during the recording, which lit a fire inside of me. It would make me happy as the voice actor if the audiences is able to soar high in the sky after feeling the wind from this work.
