(Part 1, 27-Oct)
Q: What do you do when you lose your balance and feel like losing yourself?
Tori: I take a moment to not think about anything, do something completely unrelated to work, or just sit idly and watch TV. Everyone has his or her own method, and anything is fine, just try to relax.

Q: So, playing games and reading manga are important times for you to vent.
Tori: Let's put it that way. It is a necessary part of the process for me to continue as an actor. (lol)

Q: What is your "dream"?
Well, at the root of it, I want to live a stable life. Of course, I have goals at every point of life. For example, in my early 20s, I wanted to win Japan Academy Prize..etc. I do have a vision of the kind of work I want to do and the kind of person I want to be. But that is not the "final goal" for me, it's more like a process to reach the "stability" that I want to achieve in the end.
Q: When did you start having this dream?
Tori: Since I entered university. I have always wondered how I could live peacefully without disturbing my mind. Because of that, I think I've been able to stay in a peaceful way with my work.
Q: But if you really wanted stability, you wouldn't choose a job as an actor. ......
Tori: That's right. This job is far from stable. It's contradictory, and I feel like I'm in trouble (lol). I think the happiest people are those who can enjoy everything. but I also think that no matter how stable our life is, it's meaningless if it doesn't move our hearts. Rather than choosing a stable career that doesn't allow me to find enjoyment and living my life complaining that it's "hard" or "unpleasant", I'd rather look for enjoyment that exceeds the instability. I aim for as much stability as one can seek.

Q: You spoke Italian and English aside from Japanese in this film. Are you good with languages?
Tori: I'm rather bad at it. I had to not only speak but also have natural conversations in everyday life. so I listened attentively to native speakers' pronunciation, worked with what I had learned in my mind to finish the job. It was a more difficult job than usual because I had to add the two more languages to my performance as well as acting. I realized once again that learning something from scratch can't happen overnight. I also felt the fact that it's not possible to "simulate the life of a person who's not me" without a great deal of determination.
Tori: I think in communication, whether it is by letter, phone call, or in person, it's important to properly convey what's on our mind and carefully listen to what the other person wants to say. This may sound obvious, but I think it is important to do these obvious things repeatedly in order to communicate without misunderstanding. As we know more and more about each other, it's easy to think by ourselves, "They must be thinking this way" or "They must understand me even if I don't say it". So, I keep reminding myself that "This kind of thinking is all in our own imagination, not the actual them."

Q: Are u good at communicating?
Tori: Not really (lol). That's why I try to be conscious about it. We can't always say everything, so I try not to miss the right moment when I think necessary. Seiji doesn't talk a lot either, but he doesn't spare a word when the moment is right.
