【Taiki Sato's comment】
Q. How did you feel when you received the offer?
The story is so interesting that I read the script to the end in one go. It is my first time to appear in the same work with Kanata Hongo, so I am looking forward to working with him. Moreover, I have heard that the drama is jointly produced by TOKAI TV, FOD and bilibili. I am really happy to participate such a big project.
Q. What is Toki like? Are there similarities between you two?
Toki has the ability to transport himself into the person who takes the photo. He is truly a glutton and obsessed with mayonnaise (lol).
I think this is what makes him likeable. And he acts on his emotions rather than considersations. We are alike on this point, which makes it easy to portray this role.
Also, Toki is an outgoing people person that is similar to my daily self.
Q. What do you think of your partner Hongo?
Through the works he appeared in, I believe Hongo is a person with strong aura.
I thought he was a distant and taciturn person. To my surprise, he is very cheerful and approachable. We share many interests and often had many lively conversations.
Q. Photos and cameras are key items in the drama. Do you have any anecdotes involving them?
There was a time when I was obsessed with film cameras. I had 3 or 4 of them. During that time, I often took photos for the members of my group and then uploaded the photos to my social media. After knowing my hobby, the members gave me a film camera as my birthday present.
Q. If you had the same special ability as Toki, which photo do you want to go into most?
I want to go into the photos featuring EXILE ATSUSHI and EXILE TAKAHIRO and experience how it feels to sing EXILE's songs as vocalists.
If this wish can come true, I want to go there immediately.
Q. Please leave a message to viewers.
There are different interpersonal stories in every episode. You will be touched by the passionate emotions and sometimes shed tears, sometimes smile. You will feel so from many scenes.
The guest cast members are also impressive. Please look forward to them!
