■ Comment from Kanon
My name is Hiyori and I will be playing the lead role of Yoyogi Johnny.
From the moment I first read the script, I felt a strong sense of affinity with the character as there were many similarities to my own personality.
I’m a little overwhelmed by the amount of lines I have to say, but I hope to do my best and contribute to creating a good work.
I’ve also become close with my co-stars and we’re able to read the script in a fun atmosphere, so although I’m very nervous about filming, I’m looking forward to it!
I am grateful for being given the honorable opportunity to play my first leading role in my first production, and I will do my best to act in the role.
