The five of them also left a comment for their fans:

Comment from Yoshihiko Aramaki

I am so happy I get to play Tsumugi Tsukioka for MANKAI STAGE ‘A3!’. I can see many similarities between myself and Tsumugi, so I am looking forward to portraying him! I will work hard to show the delicate side of Tsumugi, express his acting and be a good leader for the Winter group!

Comment from Ryo Kitazono

My name is Ryo Kitazono and I will play Tasuku Takato. I was able to watch the SPRING & SUMMER 2018 stage play, which made me cry tears for all the anxiety, worry, but also excitement I felt when looking at the cast members. I can’t wait to join the shining world of A3! where everybody is working hard and chasing after their dreams. I will work as hard as my character to be able to present you a perfect stage. I am looking forward to meet everybody at the theater!

Comment from Keisuke Ueda

I’m Ueda Keisuke and I will play Hisoka Mikage. My personal special skill is ‘falling asleep in an instant no matter where I am’ so I feel a special bond with Hisoka. So far I also didn’t get to play many mysterious characters like Hisoka, so I am really looking forward to it. A3! is packed with stories that tell the problems and joys of an actor. As a representative I want to express especially this part to the audience.

Comment from Ryosei Tanaka

I am so happy I get to play Homare Arisugawa, a member of the MANKAI Company, in this stage play! I came to love this work because as an actor it is easy to sympathize with it and follow the story and relationships of all the characters. I will work hard to make this already well loved work loved by even more people! With poetic inspiration I will work hard to become one with Homare Arisugawa, so please look forward to it!

Comment from Kandai Ueda

I am Kandai Ueda, playing Azuma Yukishiro. After Spring & Summer 2018, Autumn & Winter 2019 is the second stage play for this popular game app. I am very happy I get to play in this play of a work that is loved by so many people. I love Azuma nearly as much as all the wonderful ‘Directors’ out there, so I will keep him close to me as to not make him feel lonely and also meet everybody’s high expectations. We will wait at the theater for everybody while deepening the bond between the cast members and wait until the moment when the smiles of us and the ‘Directors’ reach their full bloom.

A3! is a smart phone game with over 5.5 million downloads, where the user becomes the ‘Director’ and gets to train handsome male characters. The male characters are split into four groups called Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
