Q1. Thank you so much for your work today! To start things off, give us your impressions after the recording.
I could feel the atmosphere and bond that only a band can have, so I was glad to be able to share their happy moments and worries in the drama tracks. The recording was a lot of fun!
Q2. This is your second drama CD volume as part of Inkuro. Have your impressions of your own character or the band members changed since last time? Were there any points that you were especially conscious of when acting?
As the story progresses, I'm having a lot of fun playing Mitsuru, who is a character who speaks in a simple, honest way. In fact, some of his lines have a deeper meaning that makes you double take his words. The part where Mitsuru and Hibari face their past selves in order for Inkuro to do their best for their debut was very emotional, I think it was a great scene.
Q3. In this volume, Inkuro was shooting for the CD jacket. Do you have any personal memorable moments from magazine shoots that you'd like to share?
For the cover of a booklet, I had to take pictures at Kasai Rinkai Park, in winter, laying on the grass with my eyes closed, but I’m very sensitive to cold temperatures. I was freezing so much that my eyes shut for good… As I started to lose consciousness, I thought “At this rate, I’m just going to die…!?”. In the midst of it, the staff called “Hatano-san!? Hatano-san…!?” and I was woken up (laugh). I would like to avoid shooting in ice-cold places in the future.
Q4. Tobikura played yet again an active role as a manager. What would you do for him if you could help with his busy schedule?
Looking at the manager, I think he’s too busy to even spend his money anywhere. I'd like to take on some of his burden and offer him fairly long vacations. It’d be nice if he could spend time doing the things he loves, going on a spa trip or visiting his parents.
Q5. Finally, do you have any comments for your fans who are looking forward to the release of the CD?
In the second volume, each character's personality has been explored more deeply, made in a way where the dialogue is very enjoyable to listen to. (laugh). As Eguchi-kun already said, Toki’s “hard worker” position has been plentily showcased this time around (laugh).
We hope you will look forward and continue to support us in the future as well!
