Cast Commentary
"I have not voiced in the game yet, however I think that Tsubomi Hiiragi's charm is that she is always full of energy and goes at her own pace. During the recording, the sound director told me, 'You can try playing around with the lines.' After seeing how I tried to change the way I say the normal lines by voicing them differently and with a change in tension, he commented, 'You can continue doing it this way.'"
