Q1. Thank you so much for your work today! To start things off, give us your impressions after the recording.
This time around, I felt a stronger sense of adolescence among the four of them, as they were all together in their daily lives, getting along, worrying and working hard. I had a great time with the recording!
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 a continuation of the previous tracks, there was a bit about Hibari and Mitsuru’s old band members. I was impressed that the story was not only about current Inkuro, but also about their past.
Hibari is a character with a range of emotions that are difficult to express. I hope I have managed to show when he's fooling around on purpose, and when he's just being himself.
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?
I think we were shooting for a pamphlet, and we went to this beautiful, pristine, semi-basement studio.
I knew from the moment I walked in that I wasn't going to like it. When the make-up artist looked through the studio, they found a bill stuck on a door in the darkest part of the room…
As we started shooting, we heard noises out of nowhere, like some real psychic phenomena!
Despite being extremely unsettling, I was able to take good photos (laugh).
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?
Like Tobikura-san, managers in our industry are always busy, aren't they?
In my company, we offer quite the raise! (laugh)
It would also help his motivation, I want to reward him well for his keen work.
Q5. Finally, do you have any comments for your fans who are looking forward to the release of the CD?
This is Inkuro’s second volume, continuing with the story of the four’s youth and bonds. There is still one more volume to go, so look forward to more of their activities and continue to support them!
