The cast of the new Keroro Gunsou film gathered at Yurakucho Asahi Hall in Tokyo on June 16 for a pre-release event. Kumiko Watanabe, Etsuko Kozakura, ano, and Soshu (Shimofuri Myojo) spoke about the movie, which is the first theatrical entry in 16 years. Kozakura noted the recording session felt like it happened just last week, and Watanabe said it felt like a continuation rather than a reunion.
ano, a self-described big fan of the series, is the promotion captain for the 20th anniversary project and performs two theme songs under the name ano & Soshu. Kozakura praised the death voice technique in both songs, calling the one in 'Kashippanashi Destiny' a poignant touch. Soshu revealed he received the offer about a year ago and was thrilled, noting the production team insisted on casting him despite risks. The event closed with a live performance of 'Mata Kaettekita Kerot! to March' that drew concert-like cheers.
