Main character information & standing pictures and cast comments

[Yu Yang: CV. Yuki Inoue]

I’m Yuki Inoue, who will play the role of Yu Yang.
In a very difficult and delicate story about what to write a comment,
I was able to spend my days working hard so that I could speak for Yu Yang’s feelings.
What you can see on the surface and what you can move around inside while living your daily life.
A reality that makes you want to turn your eyes away, or a past that you want to forget.
This is the story of a life-sized university student who has many things and struggles with struggles.
I acted with all the emotions and thoughts that came to me.
I’d be happy if there was something that could be conveyed through the story.

*Introduction of characters*
Kato (kato) A second-year student at the University of Design Faculty.
He is social and friendly, and has a wide range of friendships with both seniors and juniors.
From past experiences, he avoids pushing others inside of himself.

[Lee fan: cv. Ryota Suzuki]

I’m Ryota Suzuki, who is in charge of the voices of Lee fans.
I feel that this work, which delicately depicts the shapes and relationships of the characters, is a work with the power to move the heart, even though the time flows calmly.
The purity of a cool Lee fan who has a few words.
And I would like to politely show the ability to take action and the strong feelings that are born from pure.
I would like you to pay attention to the beauty and music.
Thank you very much! !

Main staff comments

[Director: Tomoe Makino]

However, reading the original made me think about how hard it is to live, even though the person I fell in love with was the same sex.
I hope that the words and actions that Yu Yang thought and thought will remain in someone’s heart and give them an opportunity to think even a little like me.

[Series composition: Aiki Kawamura]

When I read this work, I thought it was a work that I could feel the “connection of the heart”.
What you couldn’t do alone, the presence of someone who is connected to you, gives you trust and a sense of security.
I was told once again that the courage to take a step can change.
I think it’s a warm story that finds such an existence.
It’s an honor to be involved in the script for “Here U Are”, which is heartwarming.
We hope that you will all enjoy it as well.

[Character design: Asami Hayakawa]

I am very happy to be able to deliver the ordinary daily life of people loving people to everyone through this work.
It’s all about not being able to reach it, but I’m going to do my best together with everyone who is involved.
Thank you very much.

[Music: Shinya Kiyozuka]

I tried to express the charming characters that appear in “Here U Are” in various tones and genres.
Please enjoy the performances by top-notch musicians and the sensibility of Asia’s “sorry”.
Of course, the tone of the piano!

[Original work, D-kun]

When I heard about it, I was really looking forward to it, and the day has finally come!

I’m very happy to see the characters moving and speaking!
I hope all readers enjoy it.
