This video on the Aniplex USA YouTube Account features Yamashita and Kobayashi talking about how honored they are there was no dubbing in Twst so that users overseas are able to experience the game with their voices.
Kobayashi also hosts a regular YouTube show, “Kobayashi Chiaki’s Blue Monologue.”
In an October 2025 interview with Yomiuri Newspaper Kobayashi explains:
I’ve been involved in (Twst) from early on in my career, so I have a strong emotional attachment to it. The characters and world feel so real, like they truly exist. To me, it feels like another comfortable world where I belong. I’ve loved Disney works since I was a child, so I am excited to see one being created here in Japan.
