Q - You’ve barely graduated, would you say you’ve already reached your goal of becoming an actress (役者)?Rena - Absolutely not…Q - How do you feel now that you’ve landed your much anticipated first regular role in a weekly drama?Rena - I’m psyched! I wanted to act, I actually graduated (from SKE48) to be able to act, so before the shooting begins I studied, watched a lot of movies to prepare and from the moment I was offered this role I thought about how to properly bring my character to life, so I’m really excited to put it in practice!Q - Did you read the source material?Rena - I read it when I was in the 2D Enthusiasts Association (SKE48). With the action set in such a common place as a convenience store I thought it was easy for readers to project themselves in the action, through the story I often thought 「I’m totally picturing it happening!」, by contrast the unusualness of the situations makes the manga funny. Clerks are easy to relate to and those depicted in this story are close enough from the ones we encounter daily, without however being exactly normal. There might actually be some people like this around me, but people who have several layers of personality, those who are walking the edge the way we see it in this manga are truly fascinating!Q - Is director Fukuda Yuichi one to strictly guide his actors?Rena - I previously had the occasion to work with Fukuda-san when he was in charge of the production of the play for「Sixteen Principal」when I was in concurrent position in Nogizaka46 and I thought at the time that he wasn’t someone limited to one style or pattern.To build a play, he doesn’t try to mold the actors to fit their characters to create a particular world. Rather, he goes looking into what the actors have to bring, he pays great attention on how to build his plays by capitalizing on his actors talents.Principal’s particularity is that the cast is different for each performance. He didn’t write each character to be perform in one single way, you could feel how he wanted us to bring them to life, making them interesting, in our own way. When I read the script this time around, I had the same sensation. I can’t wait to see the resultQ - So, how wild are Shioyama Kaede’s delusions running exactly?Rena - Of them all she is probably the one lacking common sense the most. Fukuda-san warned me upfront 「She is the biggest weirdo in the drama」.(laughs) She looks normal on the outside, but as soon as she opens her mouth it becomes clear something is off with her. I want that to be crystal clear as I perform, but to managed that I will first need to break out of my shell, so it’s going to be a very rich experience in that sense for me.Q - Did you receive any exact instruction regarding your character?Rena - Not a single one.(laugh) I bet Fukuda-san is watching me via his monitor, his ribs hurting from laughing the whole time.(laugh)Q - You had work with Sato Jiro in「Magical Radio」before, right?Rena - I’m very excited to have the opportunity to play with Sato Jiro-san again. He has a very unique acting rythme that I find fascinating. It’s something other actors can’t mimic, it would only look fake if they tried, while Jiro-san’s acting comes out as funny naturally. I’m amazed by his talent every time I'm shooting with him.But he can also perform totally different, cool and elegant characters, which I find amazing. I learned a lot from him when we previously worked together, so it’s a pleasure to know he will be there this time too, on a set where I barely know anyone, his presence is a precious support to me. Even though we barely have any scenes together. (laugh)
^ looking forward to watching this series!!
