Shosetsu Yasei Jidai May 2018 – Sakurai Sho Interview (Sakurai Part)

[arashitranslation]

There was a scene which Aoe taught passionately, the contents were too difficult for me to understand. May be the same for the students who looked so bored listening to such difficult teaching (giggle). However, the role was not so scholarly, so I did not make the role scholarly but acted it naturally.

It is a story that Aoe does not move like detective but various geniuses are involved in an incident. Rather than portraying my own highlight scenes, my role is to pass the highlight scenes to those geniuses. It would be great if they would enjoy the involvement.

Because the waiting room is actually the room of the ryokan, I was in kotatsu reading newspapers and watching TV programmes, in free time I went to eat ramen…… I had more free time than in Tokyo, I felt like passing my time at ease.

Because the family of a friend of mine has a sushi restaurant in Fukushima, I sent sushi as refreshment. Though we respectively were to eat them when anybody has free time, Director Miike Takashi paused the filming at his discretion and we all ate the refreshment together. Such flow of time which was unique to movie was comfortable.

The role Madoka was bit too strong, right? (giggle) When I was relaxing at the hot spring hotel she suddenly came in and made a pushing request…… I think the role is excusable because this is acted by Hirose Suzu (giggle).

Suzu-chan has a frank personality. When she has free time she had training, we did dash and knee bend together. Because Aoe is a role that turns around on the palm of Madoka, perhaps we communicated in a way that resembled the relationship of our roles too.

I have no supernatural power at all. But when I was a child, there were several times that after I entered a shop which has no customers, suddenly the shop started to be filled with crowd, I thought “perhaps I have the power of gathering people……?” (giggle).
