■ Thoughts after finishing the stage
Although we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was an event with an audience, and I really felt that the excitement was gradually returning. My honest feeling was, "It was fun!" Also, it was an opportunity for people to see a different side of me than the image I usually show as an actor, so I was very enthusiastic about it.

■ Job satisfaction and the mindset that I value
It takes at least one to two months for dramas, movies, and other works to be released to everyone. That's why I'm always excited by the tension during filming, and I feel like it's something I can only experience in this job. Acting is a job that only works if there are people who watch, so I'm really happy to receive feedback from them. One mindset I keep in mind at work is to not say anything, especially when things are tough. If I say something out loud, it would mean I'm admitting it, so I don't usually say it out loud. Of course, some things come from acknowledging negative emotions, but I think staying positive is the most important thing. Even if I'm just putting on a positive attitude, the most important thing is to stay positive.

■ Future outlook
I'm conscious of completing each task carefully. That's why I cherish this present moment so much, and in the extreme, I only think about today and tomorrow. I also believe that acting is living in the present. I've been spending more time facing my roles since my debut. In the past, I'd let my emotions take over and had a strong desire to "perform this character to the fullest!" But recently, I've felt like I want to take on the character's life, past, future, and background all on my shoulders. Perhaps it's more accurate to say I'm "living as a person" rather than just acting. I'd be happy if viewers of my work could feel as if the characters I play really exist. That's why I want to go beyond the realm of acting, expand my range of roles, and become an actor who can continue to be active for years and decades to come.

■Message to university students
I used to be a person with shallow emotions, never deeply depressed or deeply happy. It's hard to describe my personality as either positive or negative. But after I entered the entertainment industry and gained a variety of experiences, I gradually became more positive-thinking. This doesn't mean that positive thinking is necessarily good, it just suited me. Of course, you can grow from worries and anxieties, but by staying positive at all times, I've been able to absorb and learn a lot from the people around me. I urge everyone to first believe in themselves and find the best way to live your life. Let's all, including myself, young people of my generation, get together and make Japan a better place!
