Yuichi Tachibana as Yuichi Tachibana: Yuki Kaji In voice acting, I don't often have the sense of "cranking it in," so it's a somewhat strange feeling. I am very excited and nervous. I am very happy to have this precious opportunity to play a role with Yoko Maki. Moreover, it seems that we have a slightly special relationship.... I hope we can have fun filming that as well. The man I play, Yuichi Tachibana, may be a little off in some ways, but he is a very kind person who can relate to the feelings of others. The story has dramatic twists and turns, so I think you will be able to feel Yuichi's change and growth. I am happy to be able to participate in this wonderful work. I will do my best to bring out the best in Yuichi, so please look forward to the morning of March. ZIP's morning drama "Sayounara no Sono Mae" starts on March 1! Please look forward to it.

The days went on, the research progressed, and there was a theory that meteorites do not fall... Many months later, in March 2022---. We had already become "accustomed" to ............ meteorites. This is the story of the 31 days until the destruction of the earth. But the characters in the story don't "believe" in that fact. A high school boy looking for his "impulse". A high school girl who has sealed her "feelings". A teacher trying to keep a promise. A coffee shop owner with a "child" in his belly. A reclusive boy who "longs" for the destruction of the earth. They don't believe in "extinction" because they don't believe in "extinction. Today, we live our daily lives, talk silly, and are occasionally struck by anxiety. ......
