Furuta: He is a serious and sincere actor. I felt that he's hardworking and professional. He could do both pull and push in the performance. Because of that I was able to keep pushing.

Dir. Yoshida: Tori's acting is very realistic. He can play plain and unpolished roles altho he looks attractive. He doesn't overdo it as an actor, and can act naturally. He's almighty actor (in english). That's why I wanted to work with him. I cast him for many other reasons too.
Is there a particular scene that stands out in your memory?
Furuta: The last scene with Tori. We were both physically and mentally exhausted, both as actors and as ourselves.
Dir. Yoshida: That's just one-cut. I left that scene to the two of them. After all the shoots, I decided "I'll just take one-cut for last scene whatever comes out, I'll take as fate and put that to the film. During the actual shooting, I was staring at them and surprised.
Dir. Yoshida: As the director, I wanted to keep cool, but I saw unexpected performances and was too emotional to say "cut". But, I was relieved to see the normally cool script supervisor crying beside me.
***Dir said the very last shot of Furuta-san is "after cut" reaction.
