I felt a little guilty that an amateur would be intruding on a site where professionals in the field were seriously working on their work, but everyone welcomed me very warmly, and I was grateful to read the manga as I waited. I did. I was so nervous that I couldn’t even get into the content.
Kenta Kiritani, the lead actor, had such a dazzling smile that I honestly couldn’t look at him directly. There was such a cheerfulness and depth to it that I wanted to know what was behind it. The drama “The Woman of Qros: Madness Named Scoop” is created from such a serious situation. Thank you for adding even more color to our “Persona”.

At a meeting about the music production for “Persona,” I asked director Moriya, “I’d like to see the filming site!” and he said, “I’ve got a good situation, so would you like to appear in it?” I was allowed to participate. Even if the scene only lasted a few seconds, we had to check the detailed movements and check the camera… It was a valuable time to get a feel for the real atmosphere of the scene.
Before filming, I greeted Mr. Kiritani, who played the lead role, with a strong handshake.He was just as passionate as I imagined, and it was fun to talk a little about drums. “The Woman of Qros: A Madness Called Scoop” I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops in the future. Next up is this week’s “Kindai”… (Hey!!)
