"This year I want to do my whole work perfectly."
Yanagishita Tomo portrays Okita Souji in the drama "Shinsengumi PEACEMAKER".
We interview Yanagishita Tomo, a young actor you should expect to see more of in 2010. He talks about his memories of dramas and stage plays and how he finds stress-relief in karaoke.
Okita Souji in "Shinsengumi Peacemaker" is a well-known historical figure. Many actors have portrayed him, so I was initially nervous: "Can I do this?" Furthermore, in the original comic for this drama, Okita Souji is drawn like a girl. That's why it is difficult to do it this way. But when I met the director and talked with him, I was told that story-like they have the original work as basis, but the drama shall make its best use of the realistic acting. When I heard that, I felt relieved. In this case I want to lose the original work in myself once and then I will act according to the script, I think. Though it might lead to fans of the original work telling me "This is not Okita Souji of PEACEMAKER". However, I think that this time it's good if I produce the Okita Souji in this drama as myself.
Since the shooting started my private time got very little, but I'm still the same person who doesn't go out very much. Because I usually stay at home and watch recorded comedy shows or dramas on my days off. I just go out for shopping and karaoke. However, I already have plans to go to karaoke with a sempai who is good at singing.
When I went to karaoke with this person for the first time, I was surprised that karaoke is so much fun! I already liked singing before, but since I learned some tricks and how to harmonize from this person, it will be even more fun. (laugh) In addition, we like the same songs. Sometimes I will go to karaoke together with 4 good friends, but [because of liking the same songs] we two will eagerly sing EXILE, Tohoshinki, Chemistry and such, and we will drink (sake/alcohol) all the time. (laugh) Yet I will feel really refreshed. The next day I will be able to work with full energy again.
I usually hang out with just guys. (laugh) A girl wouldn't be able to get in there at all. Though if we would go out together, a girl who is quiet, has a sense for pureness and a cute smile would be good. That is my type of a girl. Nevertheless, in reality, if I liked someone, my ideal type wouldn't be related with it. To be together is fun and that is enough!!
However, right now my work is important. Recently I realized that I truly like acting. Especially, after 3 years passed since I started with acting, this year will be a time of endurance, I think. Maybe it will be a significant year for my next rapid progress making. Therefore I want to do my whole work perfectly, whatever small thing it might be. Because I believe, that this way of doing will surely be connected from now on*, so I will do my best with full energy.
*I'm sorry, I don't really get what he means there....

Date: 2010-02-17 12:15 am (UTC)I'm happy to know his impressions about Okita and he was nervous to play a effeminate Okita lol
A senpai with who Tomo often goes to karaoke, loves EXILE.... to me, it's Yanagi!!!! But "who is good at singing"..... lol
"Nevertheless, in reality, if I liked someone, my ideal type wouldn't be related with it. To be together is fun and that is enough!!" He is so nice with his fans, but a nice girl is really suitable for him!!!
