Comments from Cast & Artist

Takeru：Nobunaga Shimazaki
At the time of writing this, we're nearing the final stages of recording.
Looking back, I feel that one of the main themes throughout has been “relaxed and joyful.”

As Takeru adjusts to life in another world, you can see him becoming more carefree and at ease over time. I truly hope that watching his cheerful journey will bring joy and smiles to everyone as well.

— Is there anything you personally collect or gather?
The longer I work in this industry, the more I realize how valuable “encounters” and “connections” truly are.
I've been incredibly fortunate so far—more than I deserve—and I hope to continue collecting these moments with care and intention, nurturing each one as I go.

Bee：Ayasa Itō
Bee is a newly hatched baby dragon. Everything she sees, hears, and feels is brand new, making each day full of discoveries. While voicing her, I focused on cherishing her honest and straightforward emotions.

As Takeru's loyal companion, Bee does her best every day. I hope you'll watch over her warmly and cheer her on. Thank you so much for your support!

— Do you collect or gather anything yourself?
I collect cosmetics! Even if two items look similar in color or texture, they're completely different to me.
Even though I only have one face, I always find myself thinking, “I might need this too,” and end up welcoming new products into my collection.
Cosmetic stores are like treasure hunts for me!

Brolite：Makoto Koichi
Brolite, who speaks and acts like a young boy, is a character that seems to break the traditional image of the graceful and noble elf… and yet, you'll catch glimpses of their purity as well. I had so much fun bringing Brolite's ever- changing expressions to life with freedom and energy.

And… believe it or not, this character actually turns out to be .… !
While voicing them, I made frequent use of …- like sounds to reflect that nature.
What exactly is …? Please look forward to finding out!

— Do you collect or gather anything yourself?
I love collecting everyday-use items themed around my favorite characters, and I've built up quite a collection.

Opening Theme by Nornis

We were absolutely thrilled when we heard we would be performing the theme song! Right now, we're so excited—like we're at the start of a journey—wondering how our Nornis song will connect with the world of A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai. " As the episodes unfold, we think the way listeners feel the lyrics will evolve too, so we hope everyone enjoys the music alongside the show.

We poured our hearts into this song so that not only our longtime Nornis supporters, but also those who discover us through the anime, can enjoy it. We truly hope our song resonates gently in your hearts, just like the world of the series itself.

— Do you collect or gather anything yourself?
(Inui) I love collecting masking tape for prepping diamond art, which is a hobby of mine. There are so many fun designs that I can't help but pick them up. I even use clear cases so I can see the designs from the outside!

(Machida) I love collecting plushies! But I don't just grab anything—I carefully choose ones where I really like the design. Each one's face is a little different, you know?
