Minase then revealed her feelings, saying, "I was overwhelmed and felt a lot of pressure. It was a long-awaited movie, so I was nervous. I felt like it was a heavy burden as I performed."
Seto said, "There were scenes where Mai showed her emotional side, and when I rewatched them, I felt my own immaturity, and I wondered if I would approach it differently now, but I thought that what I did back then was the right thing to do.
