Ex-Takarazuka Star Miyu Sakihi Voices Moon Princess in Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete Anime Film

    It is announced today that 30-year-old ex-Takarazuka star Miyu Sakihi makes a guest voice appearance in the upcoming original anime film Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete (Sing a Bit of Harmony).

  Sakihi entered the Takarazuka Revue as a 96th student in 2010, then became the top musumeyaku (the actresses in female roles) in September 2014. After leaving Takarazuka in 2017, she has expanded her activities to include musicals, recitation plays, TV dramas, movies, and CD releases. This is her first anime voice acting work.

  Sakihi voices Moon in the in-story anime Moon Princess, who has been the protagonist Satomi's idol since she was a child, and is the key character in the story. She also sings an insert song "Feel The Moonlight ~Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete," which will be included in the film's soundtrack. She says, "I never thought that I would be able to work on an anime film, so I was very happy," and "It was a strange feeling, I was thrilled to hear a voice that sounded like me, even though it was a character with a completely different visual than mine. My impressions clearly tell you that I'm a newcomer (laughs). It gave me a new dream that one day I'd like to speak the dialogue as well!"
