Q: Did he look similar from your own eyes?

Author Tsurugi: Esp when I see the video. A scene where Matsuzaka-san plays an instrument in the room. During camera test, there was a moment when he was a little out of focus. I thought I was seeing myself when I was really young ... Image
Author Tsurugi: .... You might think that it would be crazy to say that he looks like me (lol), but if you watch the movie properly, it's about me. I think everyone who knows me can feel like so (he looks similar). When I was young, I was much thinner too (lol).
Tori: I'm glad you said that. The costume was also the old clothes of Tsurugi-san esp. that red jacket. It's a rare opportunity to wear an actual person's own clothes in a film, so I can switch the character mode on by wearing your clothes. Image
Author Tsurugi: Matsuzaka Tori a good actor and can play a variety of roles but from my point of view, I thot he would simply act himself as a Hello! Project fan rather than me; But he seemed to match my nuances with a tremendous pinpoint. I don't think I can say any complaints. Image

Dir. Takahisa Zeze about Tori Matsuzaka
- Fragments of the Last Will (日本映画 Navi)

Tori was in my film "Life Back Then (2011)". He was not yet as famous as he is today. He was a promising actor, so I cast him as a bully, the villain* role.

*Tori's first villain role. Image
I believe Tori himself had doubts about the role so we worked together to create the role. For that reason, I feel a strong emotional attachment to him. Whenever we pass by each other at film festivals, he'd smile at me with a broad smile on his face. It makes me happy.
As I also told him, this time, I think he has become a truly wonderful actor. He had also worked with Lee Sang-il on "Wandering (2022)" and I thought he was really magnificent there.

Tori Matsuzaka for With Online (Part 3, 29 Oct)

Tori: I think in communication, whether it is by letter, phone call, or in person, it's important to properly convey what's on our mind and carefully listen to what the other person wants to say.

Tori: This may sound obvious, but I think it is important to do these obvious things repeatedly in order to communicate without misunderstanding.
Tori: As we know more and more about each other, it's easy to think by ourselves, "They must be thinking this way" or "They must understand me even if I don't say it". So, I keep reminding myself that "This kind of thinking is all in our own imagination, not the actual them."

Tori Matsuzaka for With Online (Part 2, 28-Oct)

Q: What is your "dream"?
Well, at the root of it, I want to live a stable life. Of course, I have goals at every point of life. For example, in my early 20s, I wanted to win Japan Academy Prize..etc.
withonline.jp/people/ent-enc… Image
Tori: I do have a vision of the kind of work I want to do and the kind of person I want to be. But that is not the "final goal" for me, it's more like a process to reach the "stability" that I want to achieve in the end.
Q: When did you start having this dream?

Tori: Since I entered university. I have always wondered how I could live peacefully without disturbing my mind. Because of that, I think I've been able to stay in a peaceful way with my work.

Tori Matsuzaka interview for Real Sound Movie Club

Of course there are things that can be done to improve performance, but in terms of expression without vocalization or speaking out the context, I think that the only way is to accumulate experience.
realsound.jp/movie/2022/10/… Image
When I look at my seniors, beside great acting skills, they also have a certain air that comes from their years of experience. I believe that there's definitely more to it than just technique. I think it all depends on how many different things I can accumulate in the future. ImageImage
Music that you like now:

Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins) from Top Gun (1986) soundtrack doesn't leave from my head this days.

Mimi wo Sumaseba/ Whisper of the Heart - Prod. Asami Nishi about Tori Matsuzaka

I thought he's a really nice guy, and his softness and good-naturedness were just like Seiji's. There was a time in our previous film (Inemuri Iwane) when the cooperation on set was not going well> Image
I was thinking what to do about it, but Matsuzaka-san noticed and organized a dinner party. He told me, "Why don't we do it? You can tell them it was organized by me." He is always looking at the people around him with a calm eye,
...and takes action after knowing what he needs to do. And he does so in a casual manner, without giving off any sense of "wow" factor. That makes him Seiji. Seiji may seem a little mean, but he is actually very kind. I thought it was wonderful that he did not pretend to be kind.

Tori Matsuzaka - Interview with Tiktoker Shinnosuke
Rurou no Tsuki

I believe that the ”truth" of Fumi is not only a story in this film, but also a sensitive story. So, I actually found people who have the same problems as Fumi during my role creation process.

cont.
I tried to talk to them, but I couldn't meet them. It's a very sensitive matter, so it's difficult for them to meet me face to face and communicate with me, so I have to go through someone else to ask some questions to them.

cont.
I wanted to play this role for people who have the same kind of problems as Fumi because there really are a certain number of people who have such problems.

(***EHH... I thought he wouldn't find any in real life!! Quite surprised! 😱)
