A lovely sentiment

Rica Matsumoto is the voice actor behind Ash Ketchum in the Japanese Pokemon anime and films, and she recently wrapped work on Pokemon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back EVOLUTION. During an interview about the upcoming movie, Rica ended up breaking down in tears. Rica was crying because she wishes Unsho Ishizuka, the original voice actor for Professor Oak who sadly passed away last year, was still around to see the film. We're sure millions of fans feel the exact same way.
