Tori Matsuzaka
- Monster Hunter Interview

1. Kirin Kiki left a great influence on me. Her way of life was the most wonderful. It's cool that she owns herself and doesn't mix her work with private life at all. .

She said she was cultivating the fields, and when she was contacted for work on that day, she clearly refused. I also long for such a position. But, that's only possible because she had accomplished a lot of things.

If I do it now, it will be nth more than an empty imitation.

2. Tori: My ideal is 40% at work, 60% at home. (lol)

Now is 80-20. It would be great if I can separate work and private time completely and eventually have that ratio.

I want to stay at home and do gardening. Camping is also good. I want to live in the nature.

3. Q: When do you feel depressed?

Tori: I'm basically depressed when I'm on stage (in front of camera) (lol). I just think "No matter how many times I try it, it doesn't work at all." ....

Tori: But when the work is completed, or when I see the reaction of the audience, I sometimes feel great joy, so if it exceeds the emotions I had when it was painful, I would be more motivated. I will do my best and continue while repeating that.

Q: Are there any "enemy" or "fighting opponent" for you?

Tori: Basically, my enemy is myself. For eg, I have to memorize the script before going to bed, I have to check the scene tomorrow, but I want to sleep without doing anything or play games until morning. (Lol). ...

Tori: ....I'm usually struggling with my own desires because I'm usually the one who gets in the way of what I have to face in front of me.
