●Please tell us how you felt when it was decided that you would be in charge of the opening theme.
I was honestly happy to be able to work with such a historical work. Since this is the opening of the story, I wanted to do my best to make the content feel exciting.
●Please tell us your impressions after reading the original story and scenario of “Spice and Wolf.”
A very peaceful rural landscape surrounded by nature, with vast grasslands and small villages from the European Middle Ages, came to mind before my eyes. I could even feel the wind rushing through me. The various events that occur during the road trip between the main characters, Lawrence and Holo, were interesting, and I wanted to see the next episode more and more.
●Please tell us the name of the song and the thoughts behind the song.
The Holo who spends time with the protagonist is a wolf incarnate, and although she would normally be feared, she is actually a cute, fun and bright girl. Because of her, she sang in a way that was warm and full of humanity, yet also conveyed the sublimity of the divine wolf, in a way that gently and beautifully echoed across the meadow.
●Please give a message to those who are looking forward to the anime.
Please get in the mood with the opening song. Please enjoy watching it while anticipating the song’s title, “Tabi no Yukue.” It might be even more exciting if you add a tail and ears to it!
