■Comment from Ishibashi HaruakiI’m

Ishibashi Haruaki, and I will be playing the role of Henri Nobel III.

I was also a member of the soft tennis club when I was a student. On the day before the recording, I remembered the feeling of holding the tennis racket I used at the time and hitting the ball, and then headed to the recording studio. I did my best to portray Henri, a “genius prince” who has an aura of elegance, but is also very competitive and somewhat boyish. I

am very honored to be able to take part in such a historic work as The Prince of Tennis!!

Thank you very much!!
