I had read the original before I heard about this story, but I thought it would be a gentle mystery based on a fairy tale that everyone knows, but I encountered a dead body in the forest, and in addition to that, Cinderella appeared and went up and down. The development that greatly betrays expectations continues as a fuss to. Still, it is composed of a firm plot, and it has become a work that mystery fans will be satisfied with, and I remember reading through it in no time.

In playing Little Red Riding Hood this time, I was really looking forward to how Director Fukuda would direct this original work. The Little Red Riding Hood that I play is a little different from the character that many people read and love.

In addition to the fun of the story, the point I would like you to pay attention to is the set and costumes for the gorgeous performers. I was surprised that so many people gathered together, and it was fun and stimulating to perform. I think that the viewers will be able to enjoy the feeling of traveling together in the world of this story. Please look forward to a new modern fairy tale!

When I received the offer, I was delighted and surprised to hear that it was the role of Cinderella, which I’m sure every woman had longed for at least once. I felt very busy. Furthermore, when I read the original, it didn’t take me long to finish reading the co-starring Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, as well as the full-fledged mystery development.

The fairy tale world created by Director Fukuda based on the original work was magical, and it was a fluffy and happy time during filming. The costumes and sets are really well made, so I think everyone can enjoy that as well. I myself am very much looking forward to the completion!

I played the prince of a certain kingdom that Little Red Riding Hood meets on her journey. Everything was a fantasy filming location, including a large-scale set that recreated a medieval European castle and gorgeous costumes, so I enjoyed a surreal and extraordinary feeling. The content can be enjoyed by children and adults alike, so please look forward to it!

Have you ever seen a Japanese person playing a foreigner with such seriousness in a video work? No, no. At least I see it for the first time. The sense of taboo against twisting the world of fairy tales is also irresistible. This work is full of such first-time feelings. That said, the cast is totally addicted! I want you to enjoy the unusual world!
