Misaki Kuno, Mariya Ise, and Shunichi Toki Discuss the Highlights and "Healing" Atmosphere of "SHIROHIYO"

"SHIROHIYO - Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble" (abbreviated as SHIROHIYO) is a territory management fantasy following Ageha Kikuno, the eldest son of a count's family who loves cooking, sewing, and singing and possesses memories of his previous life as an "otomen," and his half-brother Regulus.

While the heartwarming atmosphere of the show is one of its charms, according to Toki, the recording sessions were also peaceful, led by Kuno’s gentle presence: "Kuno-san’s soft mood spread to everyone, and the dubbing booth was just so calm," he recalled. Some stories about Kuno’s occasional clumsy moments on set were also shared, and the program started in a relaxed, friendly mood.

The discussion began with in-depth explanations of each character. Misaki Kuno, who plays Ageha, revealed, "Since he has memories from his previous life, his mental age is quite high, so I approach the monologue scenes with the mindset of someone in their 30s." She also noted, "But in the Kikuno family, he behaves as a five-year-old, so there’s a noticeable gap. That’s what makes Ageha’s character so intriguing." Mariya Ise praised Kuno, highlighting her large number of lines and the important “singing” parts in the story: "Both in terms of script and her role, she carries the core of the story. She treats this work with the greatest respect—she’s truly a model leader." Embarrassed, Kuno blushed deeply, filling the studio with a warm atmosphere.
