【Taiki Sato's comment】
How is the atmosphere on the filming site after the filming started?
The so-called "Miike group" has already formed, and I am very envious of its atmosphere.
I want to quickly get used to it there. And above all, I am really excited at the thought of filming the entire drama in Kyoto. However, after I actually entered the filming site, there were also some difficulties and hardship, so I definitely felt that I was being greatly helped by the staff of "Miike group".

What kind of impression do you have of Keito Kimura who plays Aokage?
I think this role fits him the most. Honestly, if I weren't playing Akakage, I would definitely want to play Aokage because it's such a captivating and interesting character. Moreover, the relationship between Akakage and Aokage is quite similar to the relationship between us, so since we've already established such a connection, I think we can present unique Akakage and Aokage.

Please share your enthusiasm for the upcoming filming.
Anyway, I am truly having fulfilling days thanks to everyone's support. The filming content is so rich that each day feels like a week, but I already have a feeling that the sense of achievement I will gain in this drama when everything is completed might be the greatest among all the works where I played lead roles. I will spare no effort in each scene and work hard with the determination to make this drama something that can be accepted and loved by people from different generations.
