Road to the Lead Role

Ten days in the life of Hirotai Toyoda, who lived with madness.
Interview on the occasion of the release of the films "Red Bridge" and "Red Bridge Beginnings".

Red Bridge" and "Red Bridge Beginning," the first films starring Hirotaka Toyoda, who is making great strides as a model and actor, will be released on June 4. How did this new actor, who shows glimpses of his great talent, face and play the role of Daiki Imanishi, the protagonist of the film, who is filled with madness? We asked him about the 10 days he devoted himself to the role.

Two faces, a model and an actor.

There are many films in which smartphones and social networking services appear in the movie, but there are almost no smartphones in this film, and I thought it was a universal film that would not become old even if I watched it 10 years later.

It may indeed be a timeless film.

I would like to ask you how you usually interact with SNS and how you position SNS.

Now.InstagramI don't think it is possible to understand the true nature of things just from there. However, the way a person posts or the trivial content of what he or she sends out can be used to determine what kind of person he or she is. In a way, SNS has become like a business card, and I feel that it is becoming more and more difficult to post casually.

Do you ever post pictures of your private life?

I post after much deliberation, thinking about how I want to present myself and whether or not it is okay to post this photo. In fact, there are times when I would like to post more casually.

Do you feel differently when you are in front of the lens as an actor than when you are in front of the lens as a model?

When I stand as a model, I try to be as close to the clothes as possible. I try to see what I can do to make the outfit look its best. On the other hand, when I am an actor, I am conscious of the difference in how much I can make myself look good.

Do you have any criteria for deciding on an outfit for an interview day like today?

I try to wear clothes that I intuitively like. Also, since I was covering "Red Bridge" for this project, I wanted to include elements of the role in some way.

Finally, what are the highlights of "Red Bridge" and "Red Bridge Beginnings"?

Both works depict the process of juvenile delinquents becoming adults, so I hope you will warmly watch them from whatever perspective you may have. All of us took on challenges in these productions, so I hope you will enjoy them as well. Please come to the theater to see it!
