<Cast comment>
I believe that a lot of people are looking forward to a completely new Gundam TV anime series for the first time in seven years and for the first female protagonist. At the same time, I didn't think that a day would come where I would be able to play the leading role in a Gundam series title.
Suletta, the character who I play, is an introvert who lacks communication skills, and I was able to sympathize with this aspect during the audition. I especially like the way she tries hard to convey her opinion and her cool side when she pilots her Gundam. I will do my best to play this part.
Please look forward to how the Gundam is used at the school!

When the production of the Gundam series was announced, I learned that this series was taking a different approach from previous titles, and I have been full of great expectations ever since I attended the audition.
I was entrusted with the role of Miorine and I am happy to fulfill one of the dreams, while feeling motivated with the responsibility of this important character. I will do my best to face and express Miorine's complex feelings such as her anger and desires, and present this wonderful series to all members of the audience.

The Mobile Suit Gundam THE WITCH FROM MERCURY PROLOGUE can be seen at the screenings held at each venue of GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE, and online screenings held for limited periods of time can also be enjoyed using the tickets distributed at certain events.
