“Ah, so it’s being renewed… I wonder who will act Garterbelt,” I thought, and then it turned out to be me. I was honestly surprised to be taking on that physically demanding role after 14 years, and I realized that I’d have to push myself and get in shape to handle it. After all, as you all know, it’s quite a serious role… So, I’m fully focused and deter to approach it with seriousness and dedication.

When I first heard that ”New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT” was in the works, I didn’t believe it for about a month. Then, I was told I would be reprising my role as Chuck, and that’s when I realized, “It’s really happening!” and “I’ll be able to take part in that crazy, wonderful project again!” With that realization, I spent many nights trembling with a mix of excitement and pressure.
Every day, I quietly mutter “Chuck!” in casual conversations, trying not to let anyone notice, and whenever I’m alone, I immediately shout “Chuck!” and do my best to work hard on preparing for the role!

Let’s go wild together!!!

“Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt” is back…! I never imagined I’d be able to participate as a voice actor. If I could go back and tell the younger me who used to draw and play around with pictures of my beloved “devil sisters”, that one day she’d get to voice Fastener and be bossed around, I wonder what kind of face she’d make… I’m honestly so happy and looking forward to it!

I’m really happy to be able to participate again in such an experimental and bold work among the TRIGGER productions. Each episode has its own unique tone and I had a great time creating music in a variety of styles to match that.
☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo) / Music Producer
This time, we also worked on the production while having sessions with different track makers. Compared to the previous series, I was able to communicate even more closely with the TRIGGER staff, so I’d love for you to check out how the visuals and music synchronize this time!
