Any work of art,
First of all, I want you to take it freely.

What is the ideal way to describe your work? Is it "entertainment" in the sense that the viewer can forget reality during the time they are exposed to the work, or is it intended to make the viewer think about something? Which is it?

Sugata:If I could choose how to convey an expression, I would choose it each time. It's what the receiver feels, and I can't control that.

Nakano:It is important to consider how the viewer will see the work. I want everyone to look at the work freely, without being conscious of the producer saying, "I made this work because this is what I want people to think about. As an actor, I believe that the audience should be free to have their own impressions of the work, no matter how well intentioned it may be.

Sugata:I think you should change the way you approach each work. That is why, in my case, I tend to use a wide range of expressions.

Nakano:I think that there should be a wider range of people who are open to each other, not just saying, "I don't understand this feeling, so no! I think there should be a wide range of ways to perceive each other. I would like to create something like that.

Sugata:Yeah, it's nothing to take so seriously. It's not something to take so seriously. It is also important to enjoy yourself.
