Mitsushima, who has worked with Moriyama four times in the past, spoke enthusiastically about making her musical debut. She commented, �Moriyama-san�s face has grown extremely handsome, and he has become a great guy. It is reassuring to work with Mirai-kun. Because he is experienced in theater and musicals, I want to rely on him.�

Moriyama stated, �This is the first time I have worked with the same person in a movie, drama, play, and musical. The cat is said to have died a million times. I'm looking forward to see how I will get killed by Mitsushima who will play the white cat, in the end."
