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?
