How did you feel when you found out you were going to be in the role?
Since I heard about it a while ago,
Takao Ameku
Lead Role
Kanna Hashimoto
Yu Takanashi
Shohei Miura
I've been looking forward to this for a long time,
and now it finally feels like the filming is about to start.
I've always liked the novels,
where I play such a genius character.
But I do feel anxious mostly of the lines.
I'm thinking about them almost 90% of the time.
It's definitely a tough challenge. I'm a bit scared, honestly.
I've been reading the script, and the image of the character is gradually forming.
But until I get on set, I really can't know what it will feel like.
Let's see. I read the novels, and it's very easy to read.
The content is solid, and it's interesting.
It's a medical series, but it also blends in with mystery elements.
As a reader, I had a lot of fun,
but when I thought about actually doing it,
from a different perspective, it felt a bit tough.
Because...
(*Kotori = Takanashi's nickname)
the character Kotori is constantly appearing,
I realized there's no time to rest.
That's true.
When Dr. Takao said he should come along.
Then he goes here and do that, then go there and do this.
That seems tough.
But I'm looking forward to it.

Tell us about your roles and their charms
Well...
She rushes headfirst into things
like mysteries or things
that spark her curiosity.
She has that kind of excitement and cuteness in her.
I really want to be careful with that, especially the nerdy traits.
The character can be blunt with patients, calling them "you,"
and while they have a lazy side, there's also this underlying sense of anxiety.
And she's really...
I think the contrast in these traits is really appealing, so I want to keep that in mind.

He has a heart and is like the most decent.
And he's an honest doctor.
And although he had a rough past,
after going through that,
I imagine that being with Dr. Takao will help reveal more of Takanashi's charm.
How do you want to act your characters? What do you want to work hard on?
Well, let's see...

How do you want to act your characters? What do you want to work hard on?
I'm thinking of starting tongue-twister exercises.
Same.
It's really specialized Japanese terms,
but I also have to say long, complicated lines, so it tests my memory.
I feel like I won't be able to relax or chat during breaks.
On set, especially during the wait times, it can get long.
Even though it should be fun talking to the staff and the others,
I feel like it was a waste that I get too focused on my lines.
I want to focus on that, especially.
That's something I really want to work on.
It's been a long time since I cut my hair this short.
I also wanted to match the visual look to Dr. Takao's character as much as possible.
It's a rare role to play such a genius doctor.
It's a fresh challenge for me,
and I feel like it's something new.
The way she speaks without much emotional temperature or passion,
I'm not sure what tone or tension to use yet, but I'll have to figure that out on set.
I'm looking forward to it.
Takanashi is more of a reactive character than an active one.
I think it's going to be tough because I have to play off everyone's reactions.
He won't have much room to play around since Dr. Takao is always so direct with him.
I think I'll just focus on reacting
and pick up everything she throws.
But this time, the surrounding characters are really intense, right?
Yeah, everyone's intense, right?
Everyone's intense, but you have to hold it all together.
Yeah, I have to react to everything.
You have to react to everything.
Well, in the past, I did a drama on TV Asahi where I had to react to everything, too.
I'm used to being on the receiving end of attacks.
Also, I have to look up all the specialized terminology and understand what they mean.
Like what are they.
I'm afraid it will affect my movements if I don't understand each term.
Oh, it might not feel real if I don't get it right.
Medical terminology is hard enough as it is.
Even the medical terms or diseases can have slight variations.
And then, there's the mystery, and we start searching for the culprit.
I'm already in panic.
What are your impressions of each other as two people who have worked together before?

What are your impressions of each other as two people who have worked together before?
But really, nothing has changed.
It's been a while since we last worked together, hasn't it?
(*Co-starred in "Metropolitan Police Ikimono Clerk" on 2017)
How old were we back then?
I was around 17.
It's surprising how much time has passed.
Back then, I wasn't really doing any dramas at all.
It was the beginning, so it was a lot of fun.
Shohei was just himself, that same vibe.
The atmosphere on set, I guess.
He was so casual and bright, interacting with everyone.
He was warm, so I'm really looking forward to it.
It's the first time I'm really teaming up with her as a buddy.
I've watched her performances on screen many times.
She's also a host for the Kohaku, so...
Since Kanna is a genius.
She memorizes lines so quickly
and can do anything,
so I think I'll ask for her help.
You're really the one who's skilled.
You did so many impressions at the wrap party.
Stop, stop, stop!
It was funny because he was so good at mimicking everything.
Maybe it's because you're so great that you make everything seem effortless.
Wow, what's that about?
Maybe you're so skilled that you just do everything with 70% effort.
That's not true, not at all.
"Can do anything" is really a phrase that fits Shohei.
But for me, it's that I'm slow at memorizing lines.
Oh, really?
I had the impression that you'd just breeze through it.
No way.
Really?
If I mess up four more times,
my mental state will break.
You seem like you have strong mental fortitude.
Then I'll just think, "I can't do this anymore."
What are you looking forward to about filming?

What are you looking forward to about filming?
It feels like we're two characters with completely different personalities teaming up.
It's going to be tough, especially with matching our lines and timing.
I'm really looking forward to the atmosphere, too.
This time, there are fewer main cast members, so...
I think a lot of guest stars will be coming in, too.
I hope that different kinds of chemistry will happen with everyone.
There's also the aspect of solving mysteries, right?
It's fun to guess who the culprit is with everyone as you watch.
You'd think it's that person, but it's actually someone else.
That's definitely one of the thrills of mystery stories.
You can view it from that angle, too.
They really go in-depth with the details of the illness.
There are so many elements packed in, so I hope it turns out to be a great show.
