Cast and Additional Staff Comment:
Comment by Sayumi Suzushiro (VA for Suzuki):
I am Sayumi Suzushiro, and I’ll be playing the role of Suzuki!
When I auditioned for the role, I remember feeling like I was playing myself
because there were too many things I could relate to with Suzuki.
I’m a huge fan of the original manga, so when I got the role, I was over the moon.
How important it is to realize how you truly feel, and how difficult it is to
understand it, as well as what it means to truly face the other person…I know you
can find many things that will serve us in our daily lives in this show! I will face
Tani-kun, who is the polar opposite of Suzuki, sincerely and play Suzuki with care.
Thank you!
Comment by Shogo Sakata (VA for Tani):
I am Shogo Sakata, and I will play the role of Tani. I’ve been reading You and I Are
Polar Opposites since it started its serialization on Jump+. As a fan, I thought this
was such a wonderful series with its pop taste and fresh, youthful dialogues of
the teens while striking great balance of incorporating universal struggles that
anyone can experience. I never imagined that I would be involved in such an amazing series, so I was really surprised when I heard that I passed the audition.
I think Tani-kun is the type of person who is not very good at the subtleties of
human emotions and completes the world on his own. I hope I can express how he
changes through meeting Suzuki-san. Thank you for your support.
Comment by tofubeats (Music):
I am ecstatic that I got to compose the music for You and I Are Polar Opposites.
I’ve read the series before the offer came, so imagine my surprise when they
offered me this job! I created the soundtrack, hoping that the music will root for
and cheer up the happy, lively characters in the show as well as the teenagers
who live in the 2020s. I had such a great time composing the music, so I hope you
enjoy the music of this series too.
