Comments from Shinoda Mariko:
I will be a seiyuu in the upcoming movie, Kami Usagi Rope.
My role is the older sister of Chipmunk Akira, who is always annoyed by having to look after my clumsy younger brothers; a hard-working sister that comes down on them all the time.
This is a rather surreal film with a lot of parts that make the audience chuckle. It is a movie that everyone will enjoy, whether or not you have seen the animated shorts already.
Please some watch the movie!
