Cast Comments

Rhodes Heartfield : Kengo Kawanishi

Please share your thoughts with us now that you've finished recording.

It's a complex story involving different species with different thoughts and ways of life, and even among the same species, there are all sorts of differences in how everyone thinks. I really enjoyed acting it out.

Please tell us about the character you played, along with your first impression of them, any similarities between you, their best qualities, and things you kept in mind while acting.

When I first saw his design, he seemed elusive and hard to grasp, like it's hard to tell what he's thinking. But as I read the script, I started to feel differently about him once I learned about his position. I found that gap to be charming, and I made sure to keep the essence of the character in mind while I acted.

Could you tell us about any scenes in particular which left a lasting impression on you?

Now that we've finished recording, if I think of each scene as a stepping stone toward the conclusion, they all seem great. But personally, I like the scene where you get a glimpse of who the heroine really is while Rhodes is playing a game with her.

Finally, please leave a message for the fans who are looking forward to the game's release.

As I write this, there are still many days to go until the release, but I do think it's a wonderful story, and I think the other characters aside from Rhodes also have brilliant stories of their own. So, I hope everyone's looking forward to it.
