18.08.24 ZIP! Kensatsugawa no Zainin Interview - Ninomiya Kazunari

[arashitranslation]

I was just as shocked as everyone when I knew that I acted with Kimura-san. ARASHI members were shocked. They asked “Is it double lead?” and I said “No, it’s (Kimura-san) solo lead, and they said “I see, should be so”.

(When I was young) I went to tens of audition and it didn’t make it, to an extent that I felt like it’s for certain that I wouldn’t get an offer.

(I didn’t want to be an actor) If I wanted to become an actor I wouldn’t have been entered Johnny’s.

I was told to meet Direct Clint Eastwood, even it was a meeting it was a very valuable audition. When I went to the audition, (Director) was not there, there was a camera put over there, I was told “please act facing the camera”. Because (Director) was not there, I was kind of not very motivated and did a short scene, about a rally. Then the staff said “since we can’t understand much, could you act bit longer?”, but I said “Just that would be fine”. And the camera was on roll during this conversation, and Director saw this conversation and said “it’s rare to have such kid who is so not motivated. This suits this character perfectly.” And I got the offer for the character I didn’t go audition for.

(About Kuruma Isu de Boku wa Sora wo Tobu) Probably (Director) saw the atmosphere from me and thought “this kid suits the character, right?” and gave me the offer.

(About Kensatsugawa no Zainin) There is an investigation scene, and Director said all along “I want to make this scene hard”. Don’t you think it typical that it’s scary for a smart person snapping? People would think “scary”.
