Statements from Confirmed Voice Cast
【Saku Chitose voiced by Shogo Sakata】
“Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle” is a fresh portrayal of adolescence, and I was deeply moved when I read it.
I feel very honored and excited to play the role of Saku Chitose among these characters, who are torn between ideals and reality, but who are still moving forward.
As a fan myself, I’m also looking forward to seeing Hiromu-sensei’s delicate and beautiful writing come to life as an anime.
Finally, I would like to share some of my favorite quotes from the original work.
Carry philosophy, celebrate aesthetics.
Reach for the moon.
【Yuko Hiiragi voiced by Manaka Iwami】
During the auditions, I was attracted by the charm of each character and the shadows I could gradually sense, and I thought it would be fun to be involved in this production.
Among the wonderful cast members, I enjoy playing Yuko, who is cheerful and energetic with no hidden motives, and whose mature side makes me nervous every time I play her!
There is a lot of interaction between the characters in this work, but the dialogue is stylish and full of charm, so please look forward to it!
【Yua Uchida voiced by Hina Youmiya】
My name is Hina Youmiya and I will be playing the role of Yua Uchida.
The manuscript used for the audition contained many excerpts of conversations, and I I went into the audition imagining what the atmosphere would be like so that I could live as Yua-chan.
I was still in a dreamy state when I was accepted for the role, but when the recording started and I experienced the recording atmosphere, I finally felt the joy of being here.
I will do my best.
I hope you look forward to the broadcast!
【Yuzuki Nanase voiced by Ikumi Hasegawa】
My name is Ikumi Hasegawa and I will be voicing the character of Yuguki Nanase.
As I write this comment, the recording session is still in its early stages, but there is a parade of thoughts and words that I have never used before!
I’ve never been a high school girl like her! I am also impressed by Yuzuki’s charm.
I even feel like my potential is being brought out by Yuzuki, who is so much better than me, and it’s a fresh feeling and great fun to talk with my co-stars!
Please look forward to the anime!
【Haru Aomi voiced by Rumi Okubo】
I had previously read the original work, so my mind was sharpened, and I had tremendous concentration during the audition, and I felt that I had come to a mutual understanding with Haru. So I was really happy when I heard that it had been decided!
Haru is petite and cute, but at heart she is a crisp, athletic girl, so I play her with that in mind.
This piece is blue, beautiful and full of sparkle, but the carbonation is never permanent, just like the Ramune drink.
I hope you enjoy this page from the youth of Chitose-kun and his friends!
【Asuka Nishino voiced by Chika Anzai】
I am Chika Anzai, the voice of Asuka Nishino.
This is a personal story, but I’m from Fukui Prefecture.
The places that appear in the work are set in the Fukui-like landscape, so it’s kind of strange for me! I remember the air of Fukui during the dubbing.
Asuka is really like the wind, sometimes pleasant, sometimes warm and mysterious, but she is a very attractive girl.
I feel honored to be involved in this film as her.
Whether you are from Fukui or not, please look forward to the day when you can see them in animation!
