Press Release Comments - September 20th, 2024

A press release was posted on September 20th, 2024, which announced additional cast member for the Rayquaza Rising arc. A comment from Yu Shimamura, the voice of Briar:

My name is Yu Shimamura, and I'll be playing Briar in the Pocket Monsters TV show. I've been in a Pokémon movie before, and back then my heart was fluttering with excitement at hearing the Pokémon voices too, but the Pocket Monsters TV show is just so soulful and really gave me the feeling that THIS truly is Pokémon. Briar turned out to be a lot more passionate that I thought she'd be, and I'm looking forward to facing Pokémon alongside her with all the excitement that comes with it. Even though I'm technically a teacher in the eyes of Liko and Roy, I look forward to working with everyone as a fellow adventurer on the same quest.

【ブライア役・嶋村侑】
テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスター」でブライアを演じさせていただきます嶋村侑です。以前、劇場版に出演させていただいた際も、ポケモンたちの声にときめきましたが、テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスター」も本当にソウルフルで、「ああこれがポケモン！」と感動しました。ブライアも私が思っていた以上に情熱的な人でした。私もブライアと一緒にワクワクしながらポケモンと向き合おうと思います。リコやロイから見ると先生ではありますが、探求する同志として、これからよろしくお願いします。
