■ “After watching this film, I was able to understand the depth of Ferrari and I came to love Ferrari even more. I hope everyone can feel the same way.” (Koichi Domoto)
Koichi Domoto has been appointed as the promotional commentator for the film “Ferrari” (released July 5th).
The film “Ferrari” depicts the passionate and insane life of Enzo Ferrari, a former racer, car designer, and extraordinary businessman who founded Ferrari and grew it into one of Italy’s leading automobile manufacturers.
Commendatore (President/Commander of the Knights) was the nickname given to Enzo Ferrari by racers and engineers with affection and respect.
Domoto has always been a leader in Japanese entertainment, having been at the forefront of top idol circles and performing on television as well as on the stage, which has become his life’s work. He will bring the charm of “Ferrari” to the whole country with the same passion as Enzo.
Domoto, who is known as a die-hard Ferrari fan, immediately accepted the offer to be a promotional commentator. Quoting a line that appeared in the trailer, he said, “Ferrari doesn’t race because they want to sell cars! They sell cars to race. In a sense, this phrase is everything about Ferrari, and it’s what I love about Ferrari,” and commented on the human drama that is revealed in this film, weaving together the glory, love, hate, and tragedy hidden in the early days of Ferrari, saying, “This film depicts more than just the glory and glitter of Ferrari, and I feel that Ferrari fans can get to the heart of the matter.”
He also spoke strongly about his enthusiasm as the “promotional commentator” for this project, saying, “After watching this film, I was able to understand the depth of Ferrari and it made me love Ferrari even more, and I hope everyone can feel the same way.”
In addition, an advance screening featuring Domoto will be held on June 24th.
Domoto, with his deep love for Ferrari, will talk about Enzo Ferrari’s passionate and insane way of life, and the appeal of the thrilling and exciting car racing scenes, which he wants to convey in this day and age.
Comment from Koichi Domoto
My name is Domoto Koichi, and I will be serving as the promotional commentator for the film “Ferrari.”
Of course, I love Ferrari for its coolness and glamour, but what makes it Ferrari is the country’s culture and history, and that’s what made me fall in love with Ferrari. Watching this film allowed me to understand the depth of Ferrari and made me love it even more, and I hope everyone can feel the same way.
As you can see in the trailer for this film, Ferrari doesn’t “race because they want to sell cars”! They “sell cars to race”. In a sense, this phrase sums up everything about Ferrari, and it’s what I love about Ferrari. This film depicts more than just the glory and glitter of Ferrari, and I feel that Ferrari fans will be able to get to the heart of the matter.
Now that this film will be released in Japan, I will do my best to serve as a promotional commentator and appeal to as many people as possible about the film’s appeal.
