The main reason for casting Kanna Hashimoto was that Inoue got interested in Kanna through her picture on the internet, which became a sensation to be the prettiest girl in 1000 years. Inoue actually attended to her group’s concert and requested her to make her film debut with Kadokawa film.

The original author of the story, Jiro Akagawa, commented surprisingly that “I can’t believe that Miss Kanna Hashimoto was born in 1999, who is growing up in the 21st Century. If Ms. Hiroko Yakushimaru is the 20th Century’s Izumi Hoshi, then I hope for Miss Hashimoto will represent as the 21st Century’s Izumi Hoshi.” The director, Maeda, who used to be one of the biggest fans of Kadokawa’s films, also presented that, “I hope I could shoot Miss Hashimoto’s moment of ‘now’.”
