When I heard about the audition, I was surprised to hear that "Escape from Japan" was going to be made into an anime. I was surprised at first. I was not sure how it would turn out since it is an original work, but I would like to enjoy playing the role of Luna, just as she was curious about new things and joined the game to have fun. Will she be able to escape from the hunters safely...? Please watch over me!
