Q: This album contains not only the songs made by songwriters, but also Suda's own songs. To be honest, this self-made songs are really good. Especially the song "Dras".
A: Really? I am happy.
Q: Where did you get the motivation to write a song and make it with a band?
A: I met everyone in our band in "Nanimono (2016)". It's really fun to get along with them and go to studio together. They taught me a lot, and recently I've been learning drums. There is a moment when I can hit the eight beats once every two hours, and I think "OK!" (Laughs). I can still play music because I met them. The self-made songs were made when I was doing a drama called "3 Nen A Gumi (2019)". At first, the title was "Drama Blues". The song was also different, and at first, I checked the chord progression of the blues and made it with a single acoustic guitar while watching it. I didn't know if it was blues or not. So, when I sent it to the band members, I thought it was embarrassing to send it with the tentative title "Drama Blues", so I deleted the characters appropriately and it became "Dras". It sounds like the name of a monster. (lol)
Q: What did you get from collaborating with Kenshi Yonezu?
A: I always felt like I was alone when expressing on stage. There wasn't one who tried to fight me with a big deal. I haven't been able to do that myself too, I'm still trying to get the hang of it in my acting career. Meanwhile, Kenshi Yonezu suddenly appeared in front of me, and one word he said was, "I want you to be my rival.". It's an unexpected encounter. There aren't many people who think of me that way. I'm grateful that everyone started calling me "Suda-san" instead of "Suda-kun". I'm very happy to get respect for my work, but the people I really want to meet are the ones who are like comrades who will fight together in the future. That's Kenshi Yonezu. I also have Aimyon now. But it wasn't quite like the same generation in the actor world. So, when Kenshi Yonezu said that, I thought, "This is it." I am happy that he talked about his goals and dreams in front of me. Somehow, I felt that the way of fighting changed a little. The biggest thing I get from collaborations is that I met people who I could share.
Q: What is "I'm trying to fight" that you just said?
A: It's not the standard size of a work, but a way to raise the level of entertainment in this country, or to spread art. I think both the creator and the recipient have to study more and have more fun. At this rate, various things will be gone, and in fact they are already gone. Somehow, everyone knows that, but no one takes action or can't. We have to think about and present something like "Then, do you want to leave it as it is? What do you do?" Kenshi Yonezu said "I will become a standard", and that is now a word of practice. That is amazing.
After all, we must do something to turn the masses properly. You have to call people to the cinema and have them watch the drama. There are few places where young actors can play an active role. If we don't do our best now, there will be no place for people in the generation below us. Yonezu understood that as well. That was the beginning.
Q: When you're acting all the time, you became to feel that the body isn't your own, but that it's a role.
A: That's right. It's a difficult place to tell if this is transmitted. Isn't it normal to live your own life? But we are intentionally trying to act. No matter how much happy I am, I have to cry, and no matter how sad I am, I have to laugh. Repeating that kind of thing means that you're doing the work of deceiving your brain all the time. Then, sometimes I feel "I don't know" and after all the accumulation is big. That's why, when I'm playing music, the moment when my voice turns inside out, how I make a harmony beautifully is absolutely my own, so I feel relieved. To put it exaggeratedly, I might have quit acting. But I won't quit singing. It was that good.
