## Cast comment

Congratulations on the anime series for *Bocchi the Rock!*.

This is Yoshino Aoyama, I will play the main character, Hitori Gotoh.

I am grateful for the miracle that I was able to meet in this way by increasing the affinity with the role of Hitori Gotoh that day when I lived with a damn-big-negative self-consciousness.

B-But when it's on the air, a different person... may be... playing it... isn't it?

I-I look forward to working with you!!
