Voice Actor Comment
"Since this is a game where you produce idols, I am very interested as this means finally, here's a game that female players can also enjoy.

My character is one who, despite the fact that he's aiming to become an idol--a profession where he's supposed to become a fashion leaders for the young generation--is actually quite old-fashioned in his speech as well as his tastes, due to the strong influence from his grandmother. I am personally very curious about what type of idol he will develop into. Please regard him kindly."
