PUFFY to voice act for anime series, “Usagi Drop”

Pop duo PUFFY will be taking up the challenge of voice acting for the first time in five years for the 9th episode of the Fuji TV anime, “Usagi Drop“. This was decided upon after having their song, “SWEET DROPS“, chosen as the theme song for the anime.

“Usagi Drop” is a story about an ‘ikumen‘ who raises his grandfather’s illegitimate child. PUFFY will voice after school supervisors who were created in their image by the novelist Unita Yumi.

After the recording, PUFFY member Yoshimura Yumi commented, “I was surprised at how everyone’s voice carried through; even the kids do it really well. I was like a borrowed cat (quiet and meek).” Oonuki Ami stated, “Pros are amazing. I was nervous from the pressure.” Ami has three lines and Yumi has six lines, but the duo took about two hours to record their lines.


“The highlight is PUFFY’s parts. It was a great change,” said Yumi, promoting themselves. Ami also added, “If possible, I want them to skip my part… but I did my best, so please watch it.”

PUFFY’s “SWEET DROPS” is also the theme song to the movie “Usagi Drop”, which will hit theatres on August 20th. Yumi showed confidence as she said, “It is a girly pop song. I want people to look at us in a new aspect.”

The 9th episode of “Usagi Drop” will air on September 1st.
