Ikuta Toma Interview  
Hi!  I posted on the ikuta toma community, but yet to have any response and hope to get one here.

On the official hanakimi jdrama site, there was an interview of Ikuta Toma posted.  I was wondering if there is anybody willing to spare their time translate this, please.  I would certainly like to know of Ikuta's thoughts on the drama and character, etc.  Thanks a head of time.

Q:  普段の中津は、3枚目的なところもあるキャラクターですね。
A:  そうですね。僕自身、どんな仕事のときでも、「どこか外してやろう」という気持ちが常にあるので、この現場でもそんな気持ちを持ち込みながら思い切ってや ろうと思っています。でも、コメディーって、表面には出さないけど、実は緻密な計算がいるものなんですよね。よく、“泣かせるより、笑わせるほうが難し い”って言いますけど、本当にそうだなって。監督にも「なるべくふざけててくれ」って言われているので、しつこくない程度におちゃらけています(笑)。

Q:  中津に共感できるところはありますか?
A:  僕はジャニーズなので、男に囲まれるのは慣れているし、男のなかだけの友情みたいなものもたくさん経験してきました。中津はそういうのが好きな男の子だと思うんですけど、僕も好きなんですよ。そういうところは、似てるかもしれないですね。

Q:  イケメンだらけの撮影現場は、にぎやかですごく楽しそうですね。
A:  撮影中に、みんなの顔を見てて、単純に「これ、ワクワクするドラマだな」って思うんです。女の子が男子校に紛れていて、「素性がばれないのかな?」ってド キドキ感もあるし、色恋沙汰もあるし、学校ものならではのドタバタ劇もあるし。原作のマンガでは、そんなところがすごくきれいに描かれていると思うので、 それに負けないくらいの雰囲気が出せればいいなって。顔合わせのときに、監督が「視聴者に面白いと言われるのではなく、面白がられる、笑われるドラマにし たい」って言っていたんです。すごく微妙なニュアンスの違いですけど、きっと、「バカだな、こいつら」って思われながらも、「なんかいいね」っていう雰囲 気が出せればいいなって思っています。

Q:  今回、初めての男装で瑞稀役に挑む堀北真希さんの印象は?
A:  僕がドラマで見ていたイメージからなのか、すごく大人しい人だと思っていましたが、明るくて、何事も丁寧だし、かわいらしい人ですよね。男装もすごく似合っていて、美少年って感じです。

Q:  2話では、佐野役の小栗旬さんとのキスシーンもありますが、今後の見どころをお願いします。
A:  キスシーンでは、旬くんに「唇、柔らかいね」って言われました(笑)。結構、体、張ってますよね。見どころは、本当にたくさんあると思いますし、人によっ ていろんな楽しみ方ができる作品だと思います。頑張って、面白がってもらえるドラマにするので、「いいところ、どこでも持って帰ってください!」っていう 感じですね。今後も、ますます応援よろしくお願いします。

Don't know if you got a translation already. If not, here you go!

Q: The regular Nakatsu is really a comedic character, isn't he?
A: That's right. Personally, no matter what work I'm doing, I constantly feel "let's let something out," so for this I'm also trying to hold onto that feeling and act with all I've got. But, in comedy, there's actually a lot of subtle things that you can't show on the surface. People say "getting someone to laugh is harder than making someone cry," and I think it's true. The director also tells me "mess around as much as possible" so basically I have to obey (laughs).

Q: Is there a part of Nakatsu that you can empathize with?
A: I'm in Johnny's, so I'm used to being surrounded by guys, and I've had a lot of experiences where it's just a group of guys being friends. I think that Nakatsu is the kind of guy who likes that type of thing, and I am too. That aspect of us might be alike.

Q: It seems like it's really fun lively and fun on a set filled with hot guys.
A: On the set, I see everyone's faces and simply think "this is a drama that will make you excited." That a girl has slipped into a boy's school, you feel excited thinking "will she be found out?" and then there's the love affair, and also has the slapstick play of a school setting. I think that the original comic really has that all drawn in beautifully, so I think it'd be great if we could make an atmosphere that wouldn't lose to the original. When I was first introduced to him, the director said "I don't want to have viewers say that the drama is interesting. I want them to be entertained and be able laugh." It's a really small difference in the nuance, but I really want to give out the atmosphere that makes people think "that guy is sure an idiot" while still thinking, "but there's something good about him."

Q: What was your first impression of Horikita Maki when you saw her dressed as a guy to play the character of Mizuki?
A: I don't know if it's because my image of her was from what I saw in her dramas, but I had thought that she was a quiet person. However, she's really cheerful, very polite, and a cute person. She also looks good as a guy. She's like a bishounen.

Q: In the second episode, you have a kiss scene with Oguri Shun, who plays the character of Sano, but please tell us what we have to look forward to.
A: At the kiss scene, I got told by Shun-kun, "your lips are soft" (laughs). It's pretty life-risking. I think there's going to be lots of things to look forward to, and that there's something for everyone. We'll do our best to make it an interesting drama for you, like "please take any part that you like home with you!" Please continue to support us!

translate?
Q: I normally Nakatsu, 3 it is also a character in sheet purposes.
A: Yes. Myself, even if any of the work, "Let me off somewhere," I always have the feeling that, Funnel, and I feel like I took the plunge and bring in this field. It is comedy, but not on the surface, it is a fact that the precise calculation. Well, "pathetic, more difficult to laugh," I say it, and it's true. Also directed "him playfully as" What is being said so, and without being syrupy OCHARAKE (laughs).

Q: I can relate to Nakatsu?
A: I am so Johnny, being surrounded by a man who is accustomed to, and has lots of experience just like a friendship of the man. Nakatsu was a boy I like to think of it, I like it too. I do it, I might like you.

Q: hawt guy shooting a full, lively look really fun.
A: During shooting, the faces of everyone watching, simply, "This exciting drama that is" I think. Under cover of a school for boys and girls, "Does BARENAI birth?" Sometimes I feel KIDOKI DE, behind some erotic, some are unique to school knockabout. In the original comics, so I have drawn a very clean and all that, I出SERE is about equal to that atmosphere. When the meeting, the coach "rather than to be interesting to the audience, the excitement, the drama that you want to laugh," I was telling you. It is a very subtle difference of nuance, sure, "I'm stupid, but this guy," but I thought, "OK, things like" I feel it should出SERE雰called circumference.

Q: The impression Horikita Maki's challenge to cross-dress in the first part瑞稀?
A: I was watching the drama from the image, I think people were really大人SHII, bright, polite and nothing but, you know darling. They also look very male attire, like a teenager.

Q: 2 The story is also a kissing scene with her role Sano Oguri Shun, I'd like the highlight of the future.
A: The kissing scene, Shun-kun, "the lips, I softly," I was told it (laughs). Good body, I'm confidence. Why go, I have a lot really, I think the way to work by many people. Good luck, because it amused me to the drama, "The nice thing, please come back with any" I'm feeling. We will continue to support our growing
