■Shion Wakayama & Natsuki Hanae Discuss New Character Kinta Sakata! Message to the Viewers

Toward the end, they talked about what to look forward to going forward. About the newly introduced character Kinta Sakata, unveiled in the recent PV, Wakayama raved, “Kinta’s personality is really complex, but in the recording, he truly became ‘Kinta!’”

Hanae added that Daichi Fujiwara, who plays Kinta, joined the cast partway through, saying, “He seemed really nervous. He’s very polite—a total contrast to Kinta himself (laughs),” also mentioning this gap and expressing high hopes for Kinta’s future appearances.

In no time, the program approached its end, and both left messages. Hanae said, “Personally, I’m looking forward to how everything unfolds! Please continue watching!” Wakayama commented, “It’s been a whirlwind so far, but it’s going to be nonstop from here. Please see it through to the end!” With that, the program concluded on a high note.
