Q: Ryo's behaviour changes depending on the partner, and it is a role that grows along the story. I think it's a role that needs you to show various aspects, but what was the aspect that you yourself cherished?
A: How to catch the details of women. We show the physical communication rather than the conversation, so please do not overlook delicate manners in the film. Even a facial expression or a breath, it changes depending on the partner, so I was very careful about it.
Q: It seems that storyboards were prepared for all scenes, right?
A: In this production, all movements were decided. Since it is a physical conversation, so it is the same as having no dialogue/script if you do not decide in advance.
The director didn't tell me that I shouldn't ad-lib, but there was nothing like ad lib in terms of movement.
In the real production, I put emotions on the movements that we planned, and the difference from the rehearsal was that the amount of emotions that were put in.
Q: Ryo is a very flexible person, isn't he?
A: I think he is originally a person with great kindness. He spent all his time unaware of it, but as he met various women, I think he began to understand his capacity.
Matsuzaka Tori: I live in Shibuya while shooting to become Ryo.
When I got home, I am scared that Ryo might get switched off, so I lived in a business hotel.
Matsuzaka Tori: With 3-week schedule, it would continue every day from morning till about 2am at midnight. It was hellish shooting. I was asked for a more delicate and submerged acting. It was really hard because I had to create something like an exchange in a dialogue without conversation.
It is said that the adaptation of this wildly famous original has sunk after many talks attempting to visualize. It was the lucky timing like it was waiting for "Matsuzaka Tori". He must be the only actor who can play Ryo, who is distressed, beautiful and attractive.
Q: How long will you work as an actor?
A: I wish I could do it all the way. For eg, even if my waist cannot bend anymore, I might be able to do such a role. Even if I can't make a good voice anymore, I might be able to do such a role. After I acted all the roles, I will retire.
Q: How did you feel when you saw the finished movie?
A: I thought it wasn't like a Japanese movie. Jam Eh I, the cinematographer, is active in commercials but it was his first time to make a feature film. Perhaps because of that, the lighting and camera work are void of Japanese movies, and it looks like a French movie. There was no weird vividness, and I think that was a big factor in keeping the balance of this movie. If not, you may not be able to watch for 2 hours.
