Production edit
Waya! Uchuu Ichi no Osekkai Daisakusen was first announced on 26 July 2011.[2] It will be directed by the director Kohatsu Yo,[3] who previously directed the film Chikujo seyo!.[4]
Director Kohatsu Yo held an audition for all 57 SKE48 members at their theater in Nagoya.[5] In the end, members Jurina Matsui and Yagami Kumi were selected for roles in this film.[5] This will be the first time that either of them will star in a film.[6] Jurina Matsui starred as the granddaughter of Shige.[6] At the time of the filming, Matsui was only 13 years old, even though her character in the film is 18 years old.[3] Yagami Kumi will also play the role of a character 2–3 years older than her. She remarked that "the feeling of playing the role of an elder sister to Jurina Matsui is a little strange".[2]
