Yuu Yang: Voiced by Yuki Inoue

I am Yuki Inoue, and I will be playing the role of Yuu Yang. It was extremely difficult to know what kind of comment to write for such a delicate story,but I spent my days doing my best to face the role so that I could speak for Yuu Yang’s feelings.In our daily lives, there are things we see on the surface and things that move within us.There are realities we want to turn away from and pasts we wish we could forget.This is a story about college students living each day while struggling and carrying all sorts of burdens.I put all the emotions and thoughts that welled up inside me into my performance.I would be happy if something comes across to you through this story.

Character Introduction

A second-year student in the Department of Design at Kato University.He is sociable and friendly, with a wide circle of friends among both upperclassmen and underclassmen.Due to past experiences, he avoids letting others get too close to his inner self.

Li Huan: Voiced by Ryota Suzuki

This is Ryota Suzuki, the voice of Li Huan. I feel that this work, which delicately portrays the characters and their relationships, flows with a gentle passage of time yet possesses the power to move the heart. Li Huan is quiet and cool, but he has a pure heart. I want to carefully express the determination and strong feelings that arise precisely because of that purity. Please also pay attention to the beautiful visuals and music. Thank you very much!

Character Introduction

A first-year student in the Department of Design at Kato University. Because he is quiet and expressionless, he has often been misunderstood by those around him since childhood. His encounter with Yu Yang brings about a change in his heart.

Main Staff Comments

Director: Tomoe Makino

When I read the original work, I was struck by the thought that life can be so difficult just because the person you fall in love with happens to be the same gender. I hope that the words and actions Yu Yang struggles with and expresses will remain in someone’s heart and, like me, become an opportunity to think, even if just a little.

Series Composition: Aki Kawamura

When I read this work, I felt that it is a story where you can feel a “connection of hearts.” I was reminded that even things you couldn’t do alone can be transformed into courage to take a step forward by the presence of someone you are connected to, who gives you trust and reassurance. I think it has become a warm story about finding such people. I am honored to be involved as a scriptwriter in the heartwarming “Here U Are.” I hope everyone enjoys it.

Character Design: Asami Hayakawa

I am very happy to be able to deliver, through this work, the everyday reality that people love people. There are many things I still have to learn, but together with everyone involved, I will do my best to contribute what I can. Thank you very much.

Music: Shinya Kiyozuka

I tried to express the charming and expressive characters of “Here U Are” with a variety of tones and genres. Please enjoy the performances by top-class musicians and the uniquely Asian sense of “bittersweetness.” And of course, the sound of the piano as well!
