[Interview & Photos] 2.5D Actor Sakiyama Tsubasa. The goal is “Taiga Drama”. A slow debut doesn’t matter.For some reason, I ended up translating the whole interview when I wanted to make a summary haha. You can find more under the cut~ Of course, keep in mind my translations are far from being great, everything is for fun. We are getting closer to the DVDs release too!

Although Sakiyama had a soft image so far, in this film he plays a man who runs a “problem-solving” office in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, carrying a dangerous charm. Sakiyama talked about his challenges from this work and his thoughts about a “slow start”.When the main character of the movie was decided “I was very happy”, said Sakiyama smiling. “Being in a movie was a dream but also a goal and it was a responsibility to stand in the middle of it, but I was geniunely happy” he said, but with the stage being in the underground, there were a lot of preparations in advance.“It was a world I didn’t know at all. On the other hand, I thought there were many things to research. While looking at past works like "Yamikin Ushijima-kun”, “Shinjuku Swan” and “Yamikin Dogs” to check things such as the atmosphere and the view of the world, “Kurogarasu” is another and completely original work, so I tried to explore how express myself there".The main character, Kuroto, appears as a cool and mysterious man. It’s different from Sakiyama’s image, but he said there is a part similar to him. “The means Kuroto chooses are outrageous and he proceeds without changing the complexion. But just because he doesn’t show much, it means he doesn’t have a lot of things on his mind. I also have a fighting spirit and a strong sense of ambition. I just don’t show it too much. So, even though Kuroto seems different from me on the outside, on the inside we are quite similar”.Sakiyama, who is gonna be 30 years old this year, started his stage acting career in 2014. Although it wasn’t an early start, it’s possible to see the passion, usually hidden, in his daily work as an actor.“In the past, there was a time when I was worried about my age or have started late. But now I think it’s irrelevant if there is something in my hand and I want to experience it, so if you find what you want to do, it doesn’t matter when to start. However, if you spend time thinking about the role in a work, including the time to read a line, doing the same as everyone, you won’t be match against those who started early. That’s why I think it’s natural for me to make a double effort."I want to challenge various roles without assuming it’s a stage image” Sakiyama said. “I think starring a movie was a vision and starring a stage play is definitely a challenge”. That vision was successfully fulfilled with the movie "Kurogarasu” and the stage play “Bakumatsu Taiyoden Gaiden” in April. And as a concrete goal for the future, he stated “I woud like to appear in a Taiga Drama”.And finally, a message “For those who have seen me so far, I think you will be able to feel the freshness. I also feel myself that way. If you know me for the first time, I hope you enjoy this work that makes you think what is right, what is wrong and what is justice. And if you are interested in the 2.5D world where I have grown up, it would be nice if this work created a synergy between the stage and the movie”.(SOURCE)You can find more Tsubasa’s interviews and info about Kurogarasu HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE. -- source link
