  It’s a movie!!! When I heard the news, I was so happy. It gave me a warm and happy feeling, and I thought, ‘I get to meet everyone again!’
  To everyone who has seen and been involved with Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, whether near or far, I will do my best to deliver love and feelings through my performance.

  I’m back! And welcome home!”
  

• Takada Yuuki (Voice of Elma):
  “Humans! Dragons! It feels like a dream to be able to see you all again.
  I am able to play Elma once more, thanks to everyone who continues to love Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid! I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart!
  Watching the PV, my chest tightened with emotion. I can’t wait for the day when I can reunite with everyone from Dragon Maid!
  Taking a cue from Elma, I plan to eat delicious food, sleep, work, and then eat again to prepare for the upcoming recording.
  Please support the movie as well!”
  

• Ono Daisuke (Voice of Fafnir):
  “I’ve been looking forward to this since I got to narrate the announcement for the new project. At the same time, I also felt anxious, wondering if Faf-kun would appear. I feel relieved now that I’ve received this request for a comment. But at the same time, I’m feeling anxious again, wondering if Faf-kun will have many scenes. Since I haven’t received the script yet, I’m on edge with excitement.
  Everyone, please wait with nothing but high expectations!”
  

• Katou Emiri (Voice of Saikawa Riko):
  “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid holds a very special place in my heart. My chest tightened with emotion when I heard about the movie and its title. ‘A Lonely Dragon Wants to be Loved,’ and with Saikawa, who loves Kanna, also appearing, I’ll need to mentally prepare myself for what’s to come.
  I’ll do my best to make it a wonderful work we can deliver to everyone!”
  

• Ishihara Kaori (Voice of Magatsuchi Shouta):
  “My beloved Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid will receive a movie adaptation! I’m so happy!
  Once again, watching the world of Dragon Maid, which is overflowing with kindness, and experiencing it on the big screen fills my heart with joy.
  The dubbing is still some time away, but I’m really happy to be able to play Shouta again after such a long time.
  I’ll do my best to portray Shouta, who is cute and works so hard!
  Please look forward to the movie’s release!”
  

• Nakamura Yuuichi (Voice of Takiya Makoto):
  “A movie adaptation!?
  It’s been a while since there was any news about the anime, but to think that when it finally comes out, it will be a theatrical version!
  I wonder what kind of story it will be and if Takiya and Faf-kun will have a chance to shine.
  Anyway, I’m looking forward to the upcoming information!”
  

• Sugiura Shiori (Voice of Ilulu):
  “Congratulations on the movie adaptation!
  I’m Sugiura Shiori, and I’ll be voicing Ilulu.
  I’m so happy that she has a warm place where she can feel happy and be her true self. What kind of experiences will Ilulu have this time? If she’s with Kobayashi and everyone else, I’m sure she’ll be hot and happy, overflowing with flames!
  I will approach this role with a fresh mindset and carefully portray Ilulu in my way.”

A new key visual was unveiled.
