Q: You played Yuki. How did you feel about the offer?

Komatsu Nana: Yuki had a harsh past and she wondered how to find the light ahead. I wanted to play the role as I thought about how I could find sth like "small light" that Yuki found.

Komatsu Nana: This time, I was able to join Shofukutei Tsurube and Ayano Go, and I was looking forward to seeing how the three of us would be together, so I thought "I would definitely like to perform."

Q: I can't forget the court scene in latter half. We can see Komatsu's true acting and long dialogue in one cut, which is a highlight.

Komatsu Nana: I was very nervous that day. Originally, I was the type that I can't do without rehearsals, so I couldn't stop worrying.

Dir. Hirayama: A week or so ahead, when I told her, "I'm going to make that one cut," she told me "I thought so!"

Komatsu Nana: I thought it would be like that!

Dir. Hirayama: There was a need for a flow of emotions in one cut, rather than different cuts.
