The TV anime Hotaru no Yomeiri held a preview screening on September 6 at United Cinemas Toyosu, showing episodes 1 through 3 ahead of its October 9 premiere on Fuji TV's noitamina block. Voice actors Lynn, Kouki Uchiyama, and Kento Itou appeared in kimono, discussed their auditions, and played a game guessing which scene Lynn found most romantic. The answer was the episode 2 scene where Shinpei shows Satsuko fireflies and confesses his love.
Lynn said her manager, a fan of the original manga, pushed her to win the role of Satsuko, and that she felt pressure knowing the series has many original readers. Uchiyama, cast as Shinpei after the voice comic version, said staff told him he was a perfect fit, though he found the character complex to record. Itou got the same note about Kotaro.
The event also included a fateful encounter sketch segment. Lynn drew a bear necklace she had wanted after seeing it in a TV drama, Uchiyama drew a soccer ball, saying Shinji Kagawa's overseas transfer got him into European soccer, and Itou drew an acoustic guitar, explaining he chose guitar over baseball in high school, a decision he credits with leading him to voice acting. The key visual was unveiled at the event.
