I wanted to be normal. . I wanted to be the hero.
What kind of "self" did you see in Shodai?
Murakami:I guess I have a strong desire not to be normal, but I felt like I liked acting and movies a little more than others, or that I just stood out a little in school, but I haven't quite caught on to my personality yet.
Do you have anything in common with yourself?
Murakami:. there was a mixture of similarities and differences. Shodai's parents are a typical businessman family who work for a local company.
Have you ever seen such a setting in a movie?
Murakami:No, it's a backstage setting (laughs).
Outer Mountains:Come to think of it, I've thought about it a lot (laughs) Shodai grew up in a serious family.
Murakami:. yes, yes. So I guess I didn't have parents who were artistic or culture savvy, but just a normal family environment. I joined the film club when I was in school because I liked movies a bit and wanted to stand out from the crowd. He was not the kind of guy who played a central role in the soccer club, but I think he was at the center of his circle of friends. . When you dig deeper into his character like this, his life is completely different from my own.

. Your parents are both entertainers, which is a very different start, isn't it?
Murakami:In my case, it is very special. . So, it is definitely not the same as Shodai's, but it is not so far away. I remember when I was in high school, I studied abroad in Canada for a year, and that year was the first time I felt like a "nobody". I had never had such an experience before, where no one knew about my parents unless I explained to them. . That time was very important for me, and I think it is a time that is linked to Shodai.
Outer Mountains:. "I wanted to be normal," you said.
Murakami:When I was a student, I longed for normality. . not only my family environment, but even my schooling was not normal. The Steiner education I received was not even 11 TP10T of the Japanese population.
Steiner education is a part of the educational program that originated in Germany, which focuses on the development of the senses, isn't it?
Murakami:. yes, I did. It was a very small world, so I wanted to go to a mammoth school and go to a "stranger world" where the teachers couldn't tell me the names of all the students. I'm glad I did now, but at the time it was painful.
From that time on, you had a composition of yourself and others, didn't you?
Murakami:But I understand Shodai's desire to be someone else. I, too, have been told that I am a second-generation person, and I have often wondered what I can do, and that has nothing to do with my parents or anything else.

How do you see Takara-chan?
Imojosei:Before she is normal/not normal , I believe she is a child who cannot be a protagonist. It is her own life, but she is controlled by her parents and cannot be the main character. I am the opposite of Takara, I was the type of person who wanted to be the hero from the time I was a little girl. . So I thought that everything that happened to me was "important for my life" and tried to overcome it by myself.
. Quite the opposite. Was it difficult for you to create the role?
Imojosei:I can relate to that in some ways. When I was in the third grade of junior high school, I was not doing well in karate, which I had been studying for a long time, and I was bullied at school, so everything was going wrong. I had no friends, no skills, nothing, which is the most important thing. When I was feeling very depressed, a boy I had known since childhood gave me a good-luck charm.
Very romantic!
Imojosei:Until then, I had been able to overcome anything on my own, but I was unable to do so, just like Takara-chan. So I was really happy to have that good luck charm, and I still keep it with me. I think Takara is the type of person who cherishes such small happiness.
