Motodaka Katsuki's Tokkai drama comments

[kimiwomatteru]

Good afternoon!!! Congratulation to Katsuki from 7men Samurai for his first role in a drama!!! I'm very proud of him for making it so far!!!!
I'm super looking forward to it, it seems like it's going to be such an interesting drama!!!

Like my translations and want to support me ? Consider buying me a ko-fi !

Feelings about being offered this work and the very first apparition in a drama.

I’ve always admired those who got to appear in a drama so I was very happy when I got told it would be my turn. In addition, working with Ito Hideaki whom I’ve been watching in dramas since I was young got me even more excited. I was literally so atrophied because of the anxiety of appearing in my first drama, I prepared enough so that I didn’t have to bring my script at work but thanks to this the actuel scenes turned out to be amazing ahahaha.

Impressions of co-starring with Ito Hideaki and interacting with senior Nakayama Yuuma.

Mr Ito was a very friendly person who managed to liven up the scene. Although it was my first drama, he told me “Aren’t you not nervous? How amazing!” thanks to that, I was able to relax and deal with everything; it’s all thanks to Mr. Ito for helping me relieve stress. Also, he was very funny and quite handsome. I didn’t have common scenes with Yuuma-kun but after watching his scenes I could only think of the word “cool”. After shooting, I got excited when we brought up my hobby that is fish, I’m super thankful they taught me lots of stuff about it ahaha.

Message to the viewers

This time, I will appear as a character named Saito which is a subordinate of Shibasaki played by Mr. Ito. Saito, despite being young, works as one of Shibasaki’s subordinates, he witnesses the Juusen* events and learns plenty of stuff. I appeared in the first scene of the drama as I was learning how to act from Mr. Ito every day. It’s a work that I tried to approach immersing myself as if Mr. Ito was my boss and I was his subordinate. I would like many people to be able to enjoy the drama that focuses on the social problems that were the Juusen events.

*The juusen (住専) are Japanese banking companies created in the 1970s by banks to allow them to indirectly finance mortgage loans to households. Following the collapse of the Japanese speculative bubble of the 1990s, the juusen were all liquidated by the government
