an an Issue 2018.04.18 - Laplace’s Witch Interview - Sakurai Sho

[arashitranslation]

I was told that the story was about predicting the future, and it turned out to be a work in far larger scale than I imagined at first, expectedly it was Director Miike’s work. Aoe was like a story teller, and he didn’t have any specially gorgeous action, probably there is no particular highlight about me (giggle).

Manner as being leading actor? How to say, there should be. Though I think it varies depending on individual work. Speaking of this time, Aoe is like the trunk of a tree, if Aoe turns left or turns right and is bothered by someone else, the story would become incomprehensible, so I thought that he should not be affected by anyone else. Basically, be the trunk, don’t be deviated, don’t be affected by the physical condition and the tension of the day. But I do so not because I am the leading actor, there are few times a year that I am allowed to act, probably this is my very basic manner. The manner related to leading role… the catering refreshment during filming? (giggle) because people like hot rice as refreshment. And this creates a chance for all staff to eat hot rice together.

In private time, the violation of manner that most concerns me is that people get in metro or elevator before people in there get out.

(What if female being over-familiar with you when you two first meet?) Well, on the contrary I am grateful, in terms of my age now.

(Are you the type who is tolerant on manner?) No, I am the type who is concerned with various manners (giggle). No matter men or women, people just can’t stay with people whose moral value is not the same, right? In the past, when I worked with Ikegami Akira-san, he told me about the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. At that time people dropped rubbish in metro, and there were people walking in street half naked. But since at that time there was not such a rule that such actions were not good, that was not violation of manner. In that sense, because there has long been manner about dining, it is easy to understand and it is easy to point out “I am concerned about this”.

Thank you so much!!!
I can't wait to watching this movie!!
I think Sakurai-san is someone who will tell you when you doing something wrong if you close enough with him.

Lmao, his concerns for his age are like typical old person.
I would love to act all mannered and calm if I see him live and if I could act confortable like I know him my whole life xD (obviously im just picturing that and it looks so cool, but it's never going to happen)

I've read things here and there about the movie, I'll have to wait a couple months before I can actually have any interesting impression.

Thanks a lot for sharing <3
