[Video] Minami Hamabe and Haruka Fukuhara's real-life experiences are being made into an anime!? They're also thrilled with a surprise birthday cake. JA Kyosairen "Tasukeai Story" Episode 1 & Making of

The first episode of the JA Kyosai Ren anime "Tasukeai Story," in which actors Minami Hamabe and Haruka Fukuhara serve as voice actors, was released on August 29th.

"Tasukeai Story" is an anime based on stories submitted to the "Tasukeai Story Recruitment Campaign" run by JA Zenkyoren, and the first episode will be a special prologue based on an episode of "helping each other" that Hamabe and Fukuhara actually experienced. The characters Minami and Haruka are modeled after Hamabe and Fukuhara, who also voice the characters. In the story, the two embark on a journey to find "helping each other," triggered by their own experiences.

In addition to the anime, behind-the-scenes footage of the recording and an interview video of the two were also released. As the anime's release date and the two's birthdays are close by, they were surprised to receive a special cake made with plenty of fruit during the recording.
