Since the short film in 2021, I've been eagerly anticipating the day I can meet Minami and the others again, and finally! The TV series is confirmed! (Tears) I believe it will be a heartwarming story set in a vibrant world discovered through golf ♡ I'm really looking forward to the weekly recordings too!!!

When the TV anime adaptation was decided, I was overjoyed with Takagi and Goto. Being able to portray Haruka again and getting to know her even more, I am truly, truly happy...! I will do my best to portray her to the fullest. Look forward to the broadcast ♡

▼Comment from Ayasa Goto
I'm Ayasa Goto, the voice of Ayaka Hoshimi. Finally, the TV series anime adaptation...! I'm really happy! Whether you have experience in golf or not, I hope you'll ride the waves of curiosity and enjoy it together with the HAM trio. Through the world of "Sorairo Utility," may everyone's world be further enriched. I'm excited〜!

■ Introduction
"At this rate, I'll just graduate as a plain background character A!"

Minami Aoba was troubled. She had no particular strengths or things she wanted to do.

Is it okay for her high school life to end as such an ordinary supporting character!? Leaving school behind, Minami searches for her own "special uniqueness." She stumbles upon the nearby golf practice range by chance. Approached by part-time worker Haruka Akane, Minami grasps the golf club—the "utility."

And thus, it was the encounter between Minami and golf.

Winning is not the only thing in golf! Everything related to golf is enjoyable!

Together with the genius golfer Haruka and Ayaka Hoshimi, who aspires to be an influencer, they seek the moment when they can become the "protagonist"! As a super beginner, Minami swings her club once again today.
