In addition, it also previews the actors of Bai Long, Faceless Man, Xiao Ling, Boiler Grandpa, and Tang Mother-in-law:
Chihiro: Kana Hashimoto, Moe-no-Ue-Shiraishi
White Dragon: Daigo Tiger Ji Lang, Miura Hiroshi
Yukio: Koharu Sugawara, Tomoto Tsujimoto
Ko rei: Miyu Saki, Princess Kai
Furnace Furnace: Tomoro Taguchi, Satoshi Kamoto
汤ba/钱baba: Mari Natsuki, Park Geun-mi
The other actors, the roles are played by two people in turn
The protagonist of "Weather Child" is voiced by Daigo Daigo Tiger Ji Lang as Hakuryū, and Hanjizoya voice actress Park Lumi of "Attack on Titan" plays a mother-in-law. Tomohiko Ben, who starred in "Wei Yutian ~ Tokyo Olympic Story ~", played a faceless man with a strong cast.
Spirited Away describes a little girl who mistakenly breaks into the land of the gods and sacrifices her name to save her parents, thus embarking on an adventure in the wizarding world as another. "Chihiro" and "Chihiro" seem to have different existences in the story, and this stage play is announced as "double starring" Kashi: Hashimoto Kana and Kami Shiraishi Mengyin, whether the two popular beautiful girls will interpret more dialogue about "Chihiro" and "Chihiro" finding themselves, which is also quite curious and expected.

Kana Hashimoto said that when the anime was released, she was still a schoolboy, and she longed for the role of Chihiro at that time; Ueshi Shiraishi also expressed her hope that she would do her best to play this brave girl role! The official also released the interview records of the two, and both of them frankly said that they would cheer up the interpretation of Chihiro's role, and also hoped to get everyone's support!
