KitanoKii; "I've always loved Bushido and martial arts, and I've wanted to play through the genre from a long time ago, so I'm very happy to be involved in this play." There was also plenty of communication with the staff in Oita Prefecture, so that the shooting could be carried out in a very stable feeling. I think this work is a work that people of every era will love. I hope to finish a great work with you. ”

"I am Hongo Sodo, who plays Masato Fujii. This work has both traversal elements, comedy, youth and a little bit of love elements. I think it's a very positive and enjoyable work. In the work, I showed kendo scenes, so I also practiced kendo hard. I hope to be able to enjoy the process of shooting. Please look forward to it. (Tsubaki/Translation)
