【Eguchi Takuya (played by Akira Kaneda)】
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
I can't help but resonate with my soul the same way I read a comic in one go. I don’t play sports at all, but I still appreciate the popularity of sports comics. There are so many wonderful lines that can be interpreted not only in sports but in life and when I read it, there was something in my heart...!

Q2. Please tell us your impressions of the characters you play and your passion for them.
Kaneda is a very stubborn character. But I think I have enough energy to get out of it. I'm burning my life. That's why it's worth playing, I try to hit his feelings with the microphone. Thanks!

[Kotaro Nishiyama (played by Junnosuke Nakano)]
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
Anyway, it's hot and interesting and I'll be reading it with all my attention. The characters have strong personalities and rich facial expressions. I am looking forward to this drama. It's really an honor to be able to participate in the animation "Blue Stone".

Q2. Please tell us your impressions of the characters you play and your passion for them.
I also participated in sports when I was in junior high school, and I was shocked by the difference in the athletic ability levels of my seniors and friends, especially the difference in the intensity of the exercise I felt. Nakano-san brings back such memories for me and I only respect the appearance of trying to overcome it.
I think many people who have read the work sympathize with Nakano-kun. I'll do my best to provide a hard body!

[Yuki Ono (played by Chiaki Muto)]
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
Speaking of the image of football comics, my impression is that there are many youth sports comics set in "club activities", but the fact that it is set in "club youth" attracted me. In a world where "winning" isn't a goal in itself, it's fun to watch them grow through their struggles from a different perspective than the sweaty comics.

Q2. Please tell us your impressions of the characters you play and your passion for them.
I will play the role of Chiaki Muto, the captain of Musashino Youth. He plays an important role in the game as a team commander, but there are also scenes where he comes to the end of the game. The Musashi Field Battle is full of highlights, including the movements on Esperion's side and the conflict with Kaneda's ace. Please look forward to!

[Maeno Tomaki (played by Satake Akira)]
1. What is your impression of this work?
Each character and team has its own personality, and I think this is a work that depicts the real parts of football very delicately.
I played football when I was a student, and I deeply sympathize with the realistic descriptions of "It turns out to be so difficult" and "It turns out to be so awesome!"
I think this is a wonderful work that can let different people understand the fun and difficulty of football.

Q2. Please tell us your impressions of the characters you play and your passion for them.
Satake is an image of a talented young director who can be called IQ but cannot see the bottom line. While grasping their abilities from a bird's eye view, we recommend using tactics on top of that, but since I used to be a DF (defender), employing this tactic improves line and momentum. While I think this is a tough one to hit, I'm going to follow this strategy and try to put on a pretty good face in front of the microphone.

[Superfly (opening theme song)] I am responsible for the
opening theme song.
Through football, I carry the feeling of supporting a boy growing up with struggles and worries. It’s an honor to be a part of wonderful work. I'm really looking forward to the collaboration between anime and music!

[God Does Not Roll Dice (Ending Theme Song)]
This is an important work that transcends the boundaries of football comics, from the art of therapy to the preciousness of loving someone, and teaches "life" itself. Such "Blue Stone" has been animated since spring, and we will be responsible for the ending theme of the second season. The song
expresses the sadness of the summer breeze gently caressing the cheeks and swaying in the freshness. It expresses the mood of the heroine Hana in my own way and can become a part of "Blue Stone". What an honor... I don't know the detailed rules of football, but while reading football comics, I screamed alone in the room and fainted in pain. It was so exciting and dazzling that I fell in love with bluestone. On Saturday nights this summer, I’ll be sitting in front of the TV watching games. I love Hana! (Vocal Shusaku Yanagita)
