I nodded to the proposal just with the description of "Aya Matsuura's fan" as it felt destined since she was my senior in junior high. But later, I learnt that the director is Rikiya Imaizumi and the contents of the script. (cont.)
I have never decided a job like this before. But I found the characters have a lot of individuality and so interesting. I even thought "I'm amazing (lol)" cuz my intuition is correct.
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 ...
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).
[FILT] Kazuya Shiraishi for "The Blood of Wolves II"
I asked the scriptwriter Ikegami Junya to make a very long script that would take more than 3 hours for a movie, and then shortened it, so the content was condensed.
Hioka is a little wild, so I'd like you to pay attention to the changes there. Actually, that I wanted start from the scene where Hioka put the Irezumi tattoos, but that was rejected as expected. (lol)
I'm looking forward to seeing the sequel because the number of dark characters is increasing. Thankfully, after the release of the first movie, many people said to me 'If you want to do a sequel, I want to participate.".
I think "otaku" is a title that can only be given to those who've mastered in a culture. So, pls say you like it with confidence. There's a time when I felt embarrassed and tried to hide various things, but now I'm talking abt my "love for games".
Tori: I used to have the image of being an actor but I'm over 30 now and I think it's at my own risk, but I talk about it without hiding. It's been overwhelmingly popular with radio listeners since then. I think it's another deep part of me.
Q: What do you think of a woman who is otaku?
Tori: I think she's wonderful. I think anyone would like a woman who has her own interests, regardless of genre.
