Comments from the cast and artists
Aoi Koga as Hatsusegawa Shuu
When I first read the original work, I was struck by the structure that moves back and forth between the past and the present. I kept reading because I wanted to know what Dara-san’s relationships with the people around her would become. I am very happy to play Shuu, a character with depth who feels more mature than her age. I will do my best so everyone can enjoy her appearances.
Tomokazu Sugita as Fudeki Naomichi
One day, while browsing social media, Dara-san caught my eye, almost as if our eyes met. I kept looking, and before I knew it, I was smiling. I am very happy to be involved in this anime as one of its fans.
Mai Aizawa as Isoko Miwa
When I read the original work, I immediately felt that Miwa was very similar to me. When I received the role, I felt happy, excited and surprised all at once. Miwa is not very good at keeping the right distance from other people, and there were many moments where I thought, “I understand that.” I hope viewers will also pay attention to the small details in the anime.
Saori Hayami as Ane Miko
The first time I encountered this work, I was drawn in by its fun and warm atmosphere. But the story also has clear light and dark sides. As Ane Miko, I will be responsible for the darker and more unsettling parts, so I focused on switching emotions during the recording. I hope everyone enjoys every side of the story.
Houchu Otsuka as Orochi
I was born in a village deep in the mountains of Okayama Prefecture and grew up with yokai legends told by my grandmother. Now it is my turn to become Orochi. I am very excited and happy. I want my Orochi to be frightening, but also somehow cute and endearing.
REIRIE, ending theme artist
We are very happy to be part of “Reiwa no Dara-san” through the ending theme. We hope this song will extend the feelings left after each episode. Please look forward to both the anime and our song. (REI / RIE)
