Kojiro's Voice Actor Shin-ichiro Miki, posted a tweet on March 24th, 2023, after the airing of this episode. His message was attached to the image description.

This is a picture of the packaging of the Rocket Gang figures, the villains from the Pocket Monsters anime. On the left is Musashi, a woman with beautiful reddish-purple super-long hair; on the right is Kojiro, who I had the privilege of voicing, with slightly light blue hair parted in the center and long enough to cover his cheeks; between them sits Nyarth, the cat-like Pokémon that is 0.4 metres high, standing up just like a person.
Unlike the other Pokémon, Rocket Gang Nyarth has learned to speak human language after much effort. Perhaps these three people? have a deeper love for Pokémon than anyone else. That's my personal opinion anyhow.
Rocket Gang Forever!
Thank you!

アニメ「ポケットモンスター」に登場する悪役、ロケット団のフィギュアのパッケージの写真。写真向かって左に綺麗な赤紫色の超ロン毛の女性ムサシ、右側にオイラが声を任せていただいていた、やや薄めの青い髪をセンター分けにし、頬が隠れるくらいの長さにしているコジロウ、二人の間に、体長0.4メールの、まるで人のように仁王立ちする、猫のようなポケモンのニャースが収まっている。
ロケット団のニャースは、他のポケモンたちとは違って、とても努力をして、人の言葉を話せるようになったのです。たぶん、この三人?はポケモンに対する愛情が誰よりも深い気がいたします。個人の感想です。
ロケット団よ永遠に!
感謝

Mamane's Voice Actor Fumiko Takekuma, posted a tweet on March 24th, 2023, after the airing of this episode. She included an amazing artwork she drew of Satoshi and Pikachu.

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted interviews with Chinozo and asmi on March 24th, 2023 and also posted the trailer that aired in the originally aired version of this episode on TV Tokyo.

New information on the new series of the popular anime Pocket Monsters (airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke"), which will be broadcast starting with a 1 hour special on April 14th, 2023, has been revealed. High resolution artwork and screenshots from the press release have been added to an Imageboard thread.


In a newly released trailer, we can see Liko and Nyahoja's meeting and battle scenes, as well as our first look at how the mysterious pendant related to Liko shines. In addition, we learned the objective of Pokémon Professor Friede and Captain Pikachu's Rising Volt Tacklers, as well as the dream of Roy, the other protagonist holding a strange monster ball, and got to see Hogator in action for the first time.

We could also see the Duckling Pokémon Kuwassu standing next to the popular online streamer Gurumin, as well as a tense scene showing Amethyo's Explorers closing in on Liko's pendant.

The opening theme was also revealed for the first time: "Dokimeki Diary (asmi feat. Chinozo)" will be sung by asmi and produced by the unparalleled creator Chinozo, who's active in the online scene. This is a song that depicts Liko's adventurous spirit through pop music, made by a special unit created specifically for this show.

A comment from asmi:
When I think back to when I was in elementary school, when I had the anime, the video games and the plushies, yearning after a world filled with Pokémon, I can't think of a more gratifying future than the one I now have. Day by day, the slight anxiety I got when it was decided I would sing the theme song is gradually turning into confidence. And now, I'm convinced the only person that can sing this song is the person I am now, the one that can continue on, anxiety and all! It's a great pleasure to accompany you as we begin this new Pokémon anime story.
I sang this song with all my might so that it could give you a supportive push with a "Daijobu! Itterasshai!" whenever you get cold feet from here on. I want you all to believe in yourselves and enthusiastically set off on a journey, having a good sense of "Dokidoki" and "Tokimeki", words describing hearts pounding with excitement. May Dokimeki Diary forever resound in your ears!

A comment from Chinozo:
Hello. My name is Chinozo, and I'm the one who made the opening for the new Pokémon anime. Dokimeki Diary is a song that I filled, in my own way, with the utmost love for this series. I've loved Pokémon since I was little, and it still feels like a dream that they approached me about a theme song for it.
I really love each and every one of the Pokémon theme songs and can't put a number to how many lives they have saved. It's a true honor to get to work on a franchise I'm this emotionally attached to. Please enjoy the new Pokémon anime series!

asmiasmi
アニメにゲームにぬいぐるみ。ポケモンのいる世界に憧れていた小学生の頃を思うと、こんなに悦ばしい未来はありません。 主題歌を歌うことが決まった当初に漠然と抱いていた不安は、日に日に自信に繋がることとなりました。今ではこの曲を歌えるのは、抱えた不安ごと歩みを進めていける今の自分しかいないという確信となっています。アニポケの新しい物語にご一緒出来ること、心から嬉しく思います。
これから始まる何かに足がすくむとき、この曲が「大丈夫！いってらっしゃい！」と背中を押せるように全力で歌いました。 ''ドキドキ''と''ときめき''に敏感に、自分を信じて張り切って旅に出てほしいと思っています。そこにいつもドキメキダイアリーが鳴っていますように！

Chinozo
初めまして。このたびポケモン新アニメのオープニングを作らせていただきました、Chinozoと申します。「ドキメキダイアリー」、自分なりに本作品への最大限の想いを込めて書かせていただいた楽曲です。 小さい頃から大好きだったポケモン、さらにその主題歌のお話をいただいたことを今だに夢のように感じています。
ポケモンの主題歌がどれも本当に好きで、どれくらい人生を救われたか数え切れません。それくらい自分にとって思い入れがあり、そんな作品に携わらせていただき、本当に光栄です。 ポケモンアニメ新シリーズ、よろしくお願いします！
