Sho Hayami (playing Musurika), Tomokazu Seki (playing Kokirilla), Ai Kayano (playing Hazel), and Ayahi Takagaki (playing Praline) will play the roles of the strange creatures and witches they meet during their journey.   [Comment from Rie Shibata] This time, I'm Rie Shibata, who will be playing the role of Aunt Rosa. It was my first time working as a voice actor for a TV anime, and I had a lot of fun playing the character as it had a lot of punch to it. In the story, he also sings a children's song! It has a solid story and is a work that I would recommend checking out even if you don't usually watch anime. Please look forward to seeing how he interacts with the main character, Somali-chan.   [Broadcasting station decided] Three broadcast stations have been decided: AbemaTV, TOKYO MX, and BS Nippon Television. Detailed information such as broadcast times and days of the week for each station will be announced in due course.
