■“There were scenes where I felt like there was a soul in there, and I thought, “Sanma-san has come down…” (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi)

After filming, Kusanagi said with a smile, “It was a lot of pressure to play the role of Sanma-san, who everyone in Japan knows well,” but added, “As the filming progressed, I realized that I had to work with Sanma-san. A record of when I was allowed to work There were scenes that brought back many memories and made me think, “Saury-san has come down…” I hope that the warmth and kindness that I felt when I was close to Sanma-san could be conveyed through the screen. I think so,” he said, expressing his thoughts.
Also, the lineup of gorgeous co-stars who will play brilliant stars such as Toshihiko Tahara from the 80’s idol heyday will be revealed at a later date. Let’s look forward to the next report.
■ Tsuyoshi Kusanagi comment
It was a lot of pressure to play Sanma-san, a character that everyone in Japan knows well (lol).I personally don’t think there are that many similarities between Sanma-san and Sanma-san, and that’s why in this drama, instead of impersonating her, I’m trying to portray the image of Sanma-san that I have inside me to the fullest. I made it. As the shooting progressed, many memories of when we worked together came back to me, and there were scenes where I felt like my spirit was dwelling in me, and I felt like “Sanma-san has come down…” .
I think only the person himself knows what Sanma-san is really thinking, but I hope that the warmth and kindness that I felt when I was close to Sanma-san can be conveyed through the screen. . I hope you and Sanma-san enjoy it as well.
