[AIMYON comment]
Totto-chan is loved all over the world.
I feel that it must be extremely significant that such a story as Totto-chan is being made into an animated film in this day and age.
When I saw the footage of the production in progress, I was moved to tears.
It feels like something hot is rising from the center of my stomach, through my chest and straight into my eyes.
When I first heard about the offer I was a bit nervous, but at last year's Red and White Song Battle Tetsuko said to me, "I'm looking forward to working with you," and I was very happy.
Although our records and memories of the eras we lived in are different, I am happy to be living in the same era as you, and I am full of gratitude to Tetsuko for choosing me.
