Comments From Mario Kuroba

(The following block quotes are translated from Japansese.)

― What are your thoughts after finishing the recording?

I had a fun time recording! This time, the recording was on a CG set, but when I actually saw the footage, Pikachu was behind me, and I was so happy to be able to enter the world of Pokémon that I have been familiar with since I was a child!

― Do you have any episodes regarding Pokémon?

The first game software I ever had bought for me was Pokémon Red. I can't believe I'm co-starring with those Pokémon, and I want to tell my past self about it.

― This program features a lot of information about "sleep," but do you have a night routine that you perform before sleeping?

I try to stretch before I go to sleep. Recently, if I sleep without stretching, my body sometimes hurts when I wake up in the morning. Especially during stage play rehearsals and performance periods, I am more conscious than before about stretching before I sleep.

― Please give a message to those who will watch the program!

In this program, a variety of information about sleep will appear. There are many things that people seem to know but actually don't, and I plan to immediately try out the things I learned during recording, so I hope everyone will watch "Oyasumi no Tane." and give them a try!
