CUT Introduction
One of Japan's leading actors. It is no exaggeration to say that Tori Matsuzaka is now in that position. This must be a fact that everyone knows.

However, what I felt through this interview was that he himself is never satisfied with his current situation, never gets overwhelmed, and calmly focuses on what he needs to do now. "I don't have enough experience at the moment," he said without hesitation.
In other words, the kind of actor and character he is looking for is far beyond our imagination. I wonder if there are any actors who can give us such a thrilling experience. In recent years, he has been appearing in a number of solid films, but his next challenge is a comedy.
Regarding COMEDY
Tori: I think it is much harder to make people laugh than to make them cry. The bar for "funny" is getting higher every year. It's hard for me to laugh with a big smile on my face.

Tori: But when it comes to crying, the older you get, the more fragile you tears become, don't you think? I've been fragile since I turned 30. The other day, I almost cried when I saw the scene in Home Alone where Kevin and his mother are reunited (lol).
What he wants to do NOW
Q: Are there any clear goals now?
Tori Matsuzaka: One of my goals now is to create a work that depicts one's daily life carefully. But it's not interesting as a project (lol) But I want to try the fun and rigor of living, the happiness in life etc.

FUTURE PLAN
Aside from your role as an actor, what are your future plans as Tori Matsuzaka?
I think I don't have enough experience in both my professional and personal life at the moment. In my 30's and 40's, I want to focus on building up my experience.

His thoughts about AWARDS
There're many wonderful films regardless of awards. But I think winning awards would make it easier for me to meet films I want to make and the directors I want to work with. I have to achieve those goals to raise my own value to increase my chances.

TRAVEL
Tori: I have never been abroad on a private trip. It's difficult now but someday I would like to go to Spain to see Antoni Gaudi's works. I want to see The Basílica de la Sagrada Família.
