00:14This is Mikami Ai.
00:25Ready, set, go!
00:27My name is Mikami Ai.
00:30My friends call me Mikami.
00:32My wife was the Prime Minister when I was little.
00:34Contributing to my favorite movies
00:36My respected person, Shuji Terayama
00:38I want to play any role I'm interested in.
00:41After filming is over, I treat myself to a trip to a hot spring.
00:45That is the point.
00:47The best thing about this movie
00:48I don't remember.
00:50wink
00:58I wonder if it was okay to say I don't remember.
01:09That's right.
01:11I suddenly realized when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school.
01:15There was a time when I wanted to become Prime Minister.
01:19I don't think that way at all now.
01:23This is Shuji Terayama.
01:27The timing when I decided to pursue acting in high school was
01:31I did have some, but
01:32The moment I entered
01:33I was told there's an audition for this project today.
01:37I was given a script by Shuji Terayama.
01:40I don't understand it at all.
01:42I started researching it from there and ended up really liking it.
01:47I've always respected you.
01:52Okay, let's go.
01:54Ready, set, go!
01:56Are you the type of person who gets energized by talking to people?
01:58Do you like spending time alone?
02:00I'm really struggling with this.
02:04B
02:05I'm the type of person who likes spending time alone.
02:08I want to plan things out in detail and then just go with the flow.
02:12In that case
02:13Which one?
02:14In the end, it's all just a matter of winging it.
02:16B or B
02:17He is said to be calm.
02:18I'm told I'm friendly.
02:20I'm not exactly known for being calm.
02:22B
02:23I don't know if people say I'm friendly or not.
02:25B
02:26A impatient
02:27B: Easygoing, impatient
02:30A often talks about himself to others.
02:33I'll talk a lot.
02:34A
02:36I'm good at finding problems.
02:46An action-oriented person who enjoys the present moment.
02:48oh
02:49Active with a curious mindset
02:52Ah, but
02:53I like to try out different things.
02:55Without looking at reviews too much
02:57I tend to try many different things.
02:59I like being busy.
03:00Busy
03:01But I definitely can't relax unless I'm doing something.
03:05I've always said I want to live a relaxed life.
03:08I end up doing this and that.
03:13I was quite surprised, and at the same time...
03:16I'm slowly but surely feeling happy.
03:19I'm not sure if I told you this at the very beginning.
03:22a
03:22I told my parents
03:24It was a family LINE group, so my brother was there too.
03:26Send a family LINE message to your parents and brother.
03:28Congratulations
03:29It was like, "Exclamation mark, exclamation mark!"
03:33What kind of communication did you have when you were selected to receive the award?
03:37They could have given it to me, you know.
03:38When I received the award last time, of course, it was immediately
03:42I messaged him on LINE right away.
03:43I contacted them right away.
03:45I haven't heard back yet.
03:48strange
03:49We do exchange messages about things that are completely unrelated.
03:53That's why I'm really looking forward to seeing you that day.
03:56About two months before filming begins
03:59I'm taking Japanese dance lessons.
04:02About a month ago
04:03I'm taking shamisen lessons.
04:07The decision to play the shamisen was made
04:10About a month ago
04:12The director
04:14Since I first appeared...
04:16Until the next appearance
04:17A huge number of years have passed.
04:19It jumps from your teens to your thirties, right?
04:21To make that 30s person seem more convincing
04:25I want to express the idea of a maiko becoming a geisha.
04:29I want you to be able to play the shamisen properly.
04:31That's how they came to me for advice.
04:33I practiced in a hurry from then on.
04:35The shamisen is quite
04:37I also had to be able to play one song properly.
04:40I had a hard time.
04:42But still,
04:44The moment the start of filming was announced
04:47There's a moment when the atmosphere suddenly changes before it starts.
04:51That
04:53Ah, the moment I realize I've become Kikuo
04:57I was able to see it from very close up.
05:01Seeing them like that made me think even more
05:03I must not become someone who holds this work back.
05:06That's how it is.
05:08I'm feeling motivated again.
05:11Well, it's been missing for a long time.
05:14That is
05:17I don't really know what I want to do
05:19I want to become this kind of dentist.
05:21If you decide on your own...
05:23To all kinds of encounters and opportunities
05:26I feel like I won't notice
05:29I don't really want to tell my future self
05:30I don't want to give them any money.
05:32The flow of events at that time
05:35While surrendering to such things
05:37I'd like to continue doing this for a while.
05:40Thank you for watching.
