Comment by Mamoru Miyano
I never thought I would be able to appear in Oshi no
Ko, so it is a great honor. I look forward to appreciating the worldview of
this series that so many people have been waiting for, while taking on my role
as the mysterious and enigmatic “Hikaru Kamiki.”
Comment by Hina Kino
Thank you for watching the latest episode! I'm Hina
Kino, and I'm voicing Tsukuyomi. Although I did voice her, it was quite
difficult because there were a lot of things I didn't know about her, but I
paid attention to the gap between her childish appearance and the words she
uses when voicing her. Oshi no ko, a series in which various elements overlap
and combine to create an increasingly fascinating story. Please stay tuned for
the developments in the future!
