The first part, “Lycorice Recoil”, which was performed in January last year and received great acclaim, had many people looking forward to the second part, as it did not depict the end of the anime. I wonder if there is?

Here, we have gathered together the female cast of Cafe Rico Rico, Misato Kawachi who plays Chizuka Nishikigi, Akiho Motonishi who plays Takina Inoue, Mieko Ishii who plays Mizuki Nakahara, and Nonoka Obuchi who plays Kurumi. We asked them to look back on the bullet and talk about their enthusiasm for the second bullet.

*Contains spoilers for the original TV anime “Lycorice Recoil”.

–Please tell us your honest thoughts when it was decided that the production of “Lycorice Recoil: Life won’t wait.” would be performed.

Mieko Ishii (hereinafter referred to as Ishii) who plays Mizuki Nakahara: Everyone watched the anime to the end, so I want to go to Hawaii! With this in mind, even during the first production period, whenever I had a chance, I would say, “Hawaii, Hawaii.” So when the decision was made, I thought I might be able to go to Hawaii (laughs). I haven’t written the script or directed it yet, but I wonder if it can be called “Iden Speak English”…

Everyone: (lol)

Nonoka Obuchi (hereinafter referred to as Obuchi) who plays Kurumi: The first thing I thought was, “I’m going to spend a month and a half with this group again! Yay!” During the first two weeks of the first performance, I only talked to Anna Ijiri (who plays Erika Janome), who was sitting close to me (lol), but after the performance, I became friends with everyone. That’s why I think this rehearsal will also be special.

In terms of the story, I wonder how they will recreate the thrilling scene in the second half of the anime that shows the bond between Senzoku and Takina! I tought. As a fan, I’m really looking forward to it!

Misato Kawachi (hereinafter referred to as Kawachi) who plays the role of Chizoku Nishikiki: I am very happy to be able to work on the second series with the members who worked together on the first series. The first series was loved by our customers, so I hope we can connect that passion.

This time, just like Senzoku and Takina, Kurumi and Mizuki will also be thinking about someone and struggling for someone. The DA (*Direct Attack, a secret organization that prevents crime; Senzoku and Takinamo own the license) team also includes Mika (played by Keigo Kitamura) and Yoshi-san (played by Shinji Yoshimatsu). Kento Ono) and Majima (played by Hiroki Nakata) are all working towards their own vectors, and I don’t know if they are good or bad, but they are working hard. I think the climax scene in the second half where they collide is a highlight on stage, and I’m excited to see how it will spread throughout the venue.

Akiho Motonishi (hereinafter referred to as Motonishi) who plays Takina Inoue: It’s all about what the three of us said, but in the first part, many people who had never seen a play go to the theater. I have the impression that he gave it to me. That made us very happy.

I think this sequel is possible because of the people who loved both the anime and the stage play, so I was very happy and grateful. I’m sure there are many people who are looking forward to the sequel, which has a lot to offer, so right now we’re just going to face it seriously without making any compromises, and the entire company will do our best to make it a wonderful work.

–What was the reaction to the first edition?

Kawachi: I felt that there were many customers who had never seen a play before and experienced it for the first time with Roriko.'' That's why, at first, I think there were a lot of people who said, The anime is interesting, but what about the stage version of Rikoriko?”

After the first day, I was very happy to hear that the audience thought, “The stage version is also interesting!” In fact, we have heard such opinions and heard rumors. So, as we performed more and more performances, we began to feel the positive reactions from the audience.

Everyone: It was!

大渕:初日くらいだと、初めて舞台を観る方にとって、声を出して笑っていいのか、劇場だから静かにしなければいけないのかとか、わからないことが多かったと思うんです。実際どっちなんだろうという空気にもなっていましたが、公演が進むにつれて、ちゃんと気持ちよく笑ってくださったりして、嬉しかったです。

ーーお客さんもどんどん成長していく舞台だったのですね。

大渕:お客様と仲良くなったような感覚がありました。友達になったみたいな。

河内:最初は探り合いだったからね。第1弾では、ミズキは客席に向かって話すとか、舞台と客席の境界線を越える瞬間があったんですよ。

石井:それこそ最初は「みんなミズキのこと、見えてないのかな?」って思ったんです(笑)。アイコンタクトはしているんですよ。見えてるよね?みたいにやってたんですけど、ただただ私を見ている感じだったんです。

2〜3日それが続いたから、演出の山崎彬さんに本気で相談に行ったんですよ。「ミズキ、ヤバいんです。思い切りやればやるほど、皆さん私のことが見えていない感じがするんです……どうしましょう?」と言ったら「ミズキはそれがいいんだよ!」と言われて、「そうですか! じゃあ頑張ります!」と。

ーーあははは(笑)。後半は反応してくれたのですね。

石井:そうですね。だから千秋楽はすごかったです。折り返しくらいから微笑んでくれる方が増えて、「見えてたー!」ってなりました。とっても嬉しかったです。

大渕:私は、ミズキは残念美人だけど、実際に美人を目の前にすると、人間ああなるのかって思いながら見てました(笑)。ミズキってイジられキャラだけど、いざ目の前で見たら、きれいすぎて固まっちゃうと思うんですよね。それだな!って思って、私は面白がっていました。

ーー思い入れのあるシーンを挙げるとすれば、どうですか?

河内:それは沢山あります! どうですか?

本西:体力的にしんどかったのはオープニング(笑)。

一同:(笑)

河内:ダンスもあったし、裏動線を走り回って、あっちから出たりこっちから出たり、階段を上ったり下りたり……。それもあって、ゼェゼェハァハァしてました(笑)。OPテーマの音に合わせて登場しなければいけないから結構シビアで……。

本西:ずーっと走ってました。お尻の蹴り合いをしたあと、裏で、ハァハァ〜って(笑)。だから初っ端にピークを迎えていたんです。でも、そこがピークだったからこそ、そのあとに行けたのかもしれない。

河内:確かに確かに。

ーー大渕さんは、いかがですか?

大渕:クルミはトランクから登場するんですけど、稽古は、もうひと回り小さいトランクから始まったんです。実はそれでも入ったんですけど、周りがすごく心配してくれていて、その声で逆に不安になりました(笑)。なので最終的には、転換もあるし、少しゆとりを持たせて、大きなサイズのトランクに詰め込んでもらいました。ただ、クルミちゃんのうさ耳っぽいカチューシャを付けたままだと入らないので、毎回折りたたんで入っていました。

河内:登場したら立てるんだよね。

大渕:そこは舞台オリジナルで、身だしなみを整える時間がありました(笑)。

河内:でもあれは、お客様も絶対にびっくりしてたよね?

大渕:車に置いてあるから、トランクの下に空洞があって、そこに入ってるんでしょう?って。でも違うんですよ。

石井:入れちゃうんですよね、うちの子は。
