Q: How did you approach your character?
A: Sato, who I play, is a very ordinary person with no distinctⅳe personality. To be honest, it's difficult to play such a role. Every character I played has 1 or 2 distinctⅳe characteristics but he has none. So, I was careful to bring out the characteristics that only I could do. I referred to the method of Russian director Stanislavski (T/N: As far as I understood, it's Konstantin Stanislavski, Method Acting (animal exercise). For more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislavski%27s_system…). I read his book and thought, this is it!. I tried to incorporate it in practice. It would be great if you could enjoy watching while imagining what kind of animal movements I have adopted when playing Sato.
Q: Comment about the director?
A: Also, it was a big opportunity for me to work with Dir. Imaizumi Rikiya. There was a scene where Sato chased Saki-chan on the bus and conveyed his thoughts. Dir. Imaizumi told me, "Look at the other person's facial expressions and make the most of his/her acting.”. The moment I was told that, I was shocked thinking.."Oh, that's right." Until now, I think I was a little too obsessed with how to express my feelings. When he told me, I remembered my original intention that I need to be sensitive to changes in the other person's facial expressions and move my eyes accordingly. I am very grateful to Dir. Imaizumi. I think that his teaching is also alive in the drama "TWO WEEKS". He has given me some advice that I want to cherish forever and never forget.
