INTERVIEWER Tell us about the scenes and lines that left a deep impression on you, as well as your thoughts after the recording.

Ichimura Tetsunosuke / Youth Servant Kaji Yuki (hereinafter referred to as Kaji): No matter what the scene is, I feel a tingling in my chest when I think about the successive tragedies that will happen in the future...... Among them, the scene at the beginning where everyone bakes white potatoes together is so peaceful that people smile unconsciously, which is very impressive. It would be nice to be like it every day......

Ichimura Tetsunosuke / Teenager & Tamura Ginnosuke Kobayashi Yumiko (hereinafter referred to as Kobayashi): It's finally Koko Taro~! Personally, I'm most impressed by Koko Taro from "Persona of the Shinsengumi", not because I hate him, but although I know something about him, I was shocked when I actually saw the anime...... He's the old enemy of Hijikata Suizo~ But I still like it......

Hijikata Toshisanjo Nakata (hereinafter referred to as Nakata): A scene of a short and happy daily life with Okita, and the last words of "please" that I asked Kondo to take care of because I was worried about Okita's body. Then, I was also impressed by the ending of the trio of Harada, Nagakura, and Fujido's friends.

Okita General Officer, Saiga Kanzuki (hereinafter referred to as Saiga): "Ah, this time has finally come. That's the mood. It's a very sad volume for both the Shinsengumi and Okita.

Nagakura Shinhachi, Katsuhei Yamaguchi (hereinafter referred to as Yamaguchi): From now on, both the Shinsengumi and the stupid trio will have a difficult time. But in the side story, I can still hear the conversation between them and Tetsunosuke in peacetime, and I'm really happy.

Fujido Heisuke Torikai Kosuke (hereinafter referred to as Torikai): It's getting heavier and heavier. But while nostalgic for the happy times, it is also meaningful to stage such a story.

Sanosuke Harada, Kenji Nomura (hereinafter referred to as Nomura): The head office's physical condition is deteriorating, but it really pokes tears when he says "If you don't go...... you can't go, in order to be able to get to Tetsu's side." After that, Hao's response was also tear-jerking!

Yamazaki Hiroshi Sakurai (hereinafter referred to as Sakurai): Okita's death posture kept flashing in my mind. Sad, scared, but calm at the bottom of the heart. Yamazaki's words, which suppressed his heart, were heart-wrenching and impressive.

Saito Ichijo Matsuyama Takashi (hereinafter referred to as Matsuyama): "Hehe, I don't want to joke anymore~" The first time Saito expressed his emotions was in this place. I can't believe this is the acting used against Ito...... What is true humanity?

Kondo Yuji and Toshi Takaya (hereafter referred to as Toshi): "Oh, the head secretary. This line always makes me laugh (laughs) when I think of "cleaning" (the same pronunciation).

Daisuke Hirakawa (hereinafter referred to as Daisuke Hirakawa) in a certain scene, someone said, "You're really disgusting~goosebumps are up~" (wry smile) Don't do this~ I accepted it as a compliment (laughs). I'm happy if people think it's creepy. Please try to find this scene.

Yamatoya Suzuku, Shinnosuke Tachibana (hereinafter referred to as Tachibana): Although the Suzu in this volume is mainly in the shadows, there are various ideas colliding with each other in the main plot of the story, and I think it is very interesting.

- Please leave a message to fans who are waiting for the release of Radio Drama Volume 5 (released on July 29th).

Kaji: Radio dramas are finally getting better. Each character is forced to make painful choices. Tetsunosuke will also encounter new problems...... Where is the truth? Let's fight together! Thank you for your kind attention.

Kobayashi: It's finally time for the Battle of Goryokaku! From now on, I will follow Iron Nosuke as Ginnosuke to protect this battle. Dear fans! Please look forward to the next volume as well!

Nakata: It's a historical fact, but the story begins to move in a harsh direction. Please witness the path they have chosen, or have had to take.

Saiga: As the story gets better, it becomes more and more painful and sad, but I still want to convey it to everyone.

Yamaguchi: Their respective fates have already begun to turn. Please guard the path they have chosen.

Torikai: It's been five volumes...... I'm also working hard this time, so please look forward to it.

Sakurai: It's finally time for the oil trail incident. It's depressing, heavy-hearted, but it's also an important plot. I hope many fans can hear it.

Matsuyama: It's finally getting better. The story has also unfolded dramatically, so please experience this feeling of no return.

Tushi: Gradually forced into a cornered Shinsengumi. So, how does the story unfold from now on? I'm looking forward to it myself.

Hirakawa: I've been waiting for you for a long time! The oil trail chapter begins! This time, Ito also brewed a unique atmosphere (laughs). He has such a unique sense of existence, if only I could express it as much as possible...... (wry smile). Anyway, it's a freshly baked work, so be sure to listen to it!

Tachibana: Please enjoy this work in detail, where the plot is accelerating and each has intertwined feelings and ideas.
