Although I didn’t have much experience in voice acting, it’s thanks to those who devotedly guided me, I feel like I’ve finally been able to enter the world which I’ve never experienced before. Having directly experienced the work, I will spend more time reading scripts so that I will have deeper understanding of my character.

Lynn also shared: “In this movie, there are quite a lot of conversations between my character and Takasugi’s character “I” thus I’m really interested in creating the atmosphere in the studio. I will try my best to convey the “soul” into each word, so that the audience can feel character Yamauchi Sakura can be felt as a real person and to touch their heart.
