――This work is the first stage for Watanabe. Please let me know when you have an offer. Originally, I was in a local Sendai until about 24 and 25 years old, and I had never been to see the stage, I had never heard of doing this stage or going to the stage. So the stage was very far away. Even after I started this job, I had a strong local love, and I really wanted to see people in Sendai, so I felt more like the video works that I could watch anywhere. right. However, the co -stars who are together in the video say the stage. So, if you want to do a play job properly, you'll want to go through the stage. At that time, I got this story, so I decided to try it out. ―― This is a story set in the 1960 era of the modern and security struggles, and you can play two people in each era. First of all, what kind of impression did you read after reading the script? The 60 -year -old social event of the security struggle was completely unfamiliar, so I imagined that it would be a very difficult book at first. However, when I read the book, I thought that the energy and straightness of the characters of the characters would be straight to those who do not know the era. The tempo was fast, and I thought it would be a work that could be concentrated on from the beginning to the end. ─ What kind of energy and straightness do you have a college student, Takashi Matsuki, who plays himself in 60 years? He is a person who really believes in the power of words. He is not directly participating in student movements and demonstrations, but he still believes that he can change something with the power of words and has a straightforward thoughts. 。 So he wants to be able to express it in his words while holding the energy in himself. ── On the other hand, in modern times, a rookie newspaper reporter named Sota Yafune. What kind of role do he seem to have? I think it's a symbol of a young man in his 20s. I haven't been able to find what words are perfect for expressing that modernity. However, there may be a message in the work where the senior reporter played by Yasushi Seto is what Sota receives in the words that he emits while suffering from what is the press and what is justice. I don't think it would be. That's because Sota is the closest to the viewer, and I guess the reaction of the viewer will also be Sota's reaction. That's why I want to make it so that you can feel familiar.
