This time, I will be in charge of the role of Yoshiki. My name is Chiaki Kobayashi. From the time of the audition, I didn’t want to be with you, but I wanted you to be. I was being swayed by mixed emotions that were both scary and
comforting. I will mobilize all my blood, flesh, and bones, and do my best to bring out all of Yoshiki’s feelings and sorrows. This is a work that many people would like to see because we live in a modern society where a variety of values ​​coexist, so please look forward to the broadcast. Thank you for your understanding. I will be entrusted with the role of Hikaru in the anime “The Summer When Light Died.” My name is Shuichiro Umeda. Playing the role of “Hikaru” was new to me, and at the same time, it felt like I was looking into the darkness. There are many uncertainties in his mind and body, but his desire to be with Yoshiki is certain, so let’s play him while fully sensing that feeling. That’s what I thought when I went to the audition. I will do my best. Director: Ryohei Takeshita ＞ When I read the original work for the first time, I wondered how I could express the frames of the original work in an anime. I remember reading through the pages with excitement. All of our staff members are working diligently on the original work in order to skillfully animate not only the delicate emotional nuances of the characters, but also the beautiful and innovative manga structure. We are working hard to create a beautiful animation of Yoshiki and Hikaru, two young people struggling to understand each other, so please look forward to seeing it aired. ■Broadcast/work information [Broadcast information] TV anime broadcast starts in summer 2025 “ABEMA” Free exclusive/unlimited viewing fastest delivery etc. [Work information] Staff Original work: Mokumokuren (serialized in KADOKAWA “Young Ace UP”) Director/Series composition: Ryohei Takeshita Character design/chief animation director: Yuichi Takahashi Muddy Animator: Masanobu Hiraoka Animation production: CygamesPictures Cast Yoshiki Tsujinaka: Chiaki Kobayashi Hikaru: Shuichiro Umeda Copyright notice: (C) Mokumokuren/KADOKAWA, “The Summer When Light Died” Production Committee *When posting or using image materials, please be sure to indicate the copyright.
