Q: I thought "Farewell Song" is a film that includes various elements, a youth movie, a music movie, and a road-trip movie. What kind of movie do you think this film is?
Kadowaki Mugi: At the stage when I read the script and listened to more theme song and inserted songs, I had the image that it would be a sentimental and emotional work. However, the finished work was different from that image.
Narita Ryo: Ah, I also felt the gap with the time I read the script.
Komatsu Nana: Yeah, there was an original work, so there was a difference between the script and the final product.
Kadowaki Mugi: A male director, Shioda made a film about women. He has a stronger balance of thought theory than emotion theory, and also has a philosophical and literary characterisation. That's why I think it's a movie with a wide appeal that is easier for everyone to watch than the script.
Narita Ryo: I think it's a work that doesn't a definitely clear intention, where things that don't seem clear all the time but they continue. So when I read the script, I felt, "It will depend on the atmosphere of the three people," but I think I was hooked on that aspect.
Q: What did you cherish when you played each role?
Narita Ryo: In my case, rather than doing something myself, it was more important that Iga (the stylist Daisuke Iga) has contributed my character a lot. Haru (Mugi) has a warm color, Leo (Nana) has a cool color, and each character has own personality, and I don't feel like telling too much about my character. I think the costumes express the emotion of characters rather than acting intentionally.
Komatsu Nana: Leo has a freewheeling personality, so I felt like I was just flirting. Going to Haru, going to a man, or something like that (lol). Also, Director Shioda has the idea that "something can be transmitted without using words", so if I think "I don't need words here," the director also says, "Let's do that." It was flexible for me.
Kadowaki Mugi: Haru who does not move steadily against such a freewheeling Leo. And Narita's Shima is a man sandwiched between their gap. This relationship was interesting. I felt that Director Shioda was careful about the fun of being a man sandwiched between two women. And I think this movie is like a couple already broken-up.
Q: A broken-up couple?
Kadowaki Mugi: It's a relationship full of memories and love that they have accumulated so far, but the trouble due to a little space, mental state, and exchange of words. Right now, they only interested in it, but they are going through the breakup tour to experience that they had a great time.
Kadowaki Mugi: But each emotion is vague and isn't actually stated in words. In that sense, I think it is a delicate work. If you miss out on where to talk properly, it will be ruined. That's why I played carefully with the intention of never spilling those aspects.
Q: All three of you are playing musical instruments. How was it?
Komatsu Nana: At first, each of us practiced the musical instrument and singing individually, but it was totally different feeling in front of the audience, "Artists can't stop doing this." I thought. It was fun having the unique and nice songs.
Kadowaki Mugi: The shooting was done where we really sing live at each venue, so the feelings were completely different depending on the location, and it really looks like a documentary.
Narita Ryo: I was trying to put my thoughts on the tambourine... during live (lol)
Narita Ryo: No, it's a bit embarrassing, but when I went to the stage after being introduced as "Narita Ryo" at the live house (laughs), the extras would be curious. They might wonder if I was supposed to be, cuz I'm always hitting the tambourine behind them (lol)
Kadowaki Mugi: But you looked good, with tambourine (lol)
Komatsu Nana: I told him "do it harder".
Kadowaki Mugi: "Hit it with your head!" I didn't do say it to him tho. (lol)
