Sho watches Batman to prepare himself as Kageyama
Sakurai Sho watches "Batman" to prepare for his role as a butler.
Published in Singapore's chinese evening paper, on 28th July 2013.
Yesterday evening, the 3 main casts, from Japan's mystery film [nazotoki dinner no ato de], Sakurai Sho, Kitagawa Keiko and Shiina Kippei, alongside the film's director Hijikata Masato attended the movie's premier screening in Singapore's Marina Bay Sand.
Sakurai Sho is part of a japanese group called [Arashi], an idol group who has a wide fan-base here in Singapore. Sho shared that for his butler role as Kageyama, "I did not watch detective genre shows such as [Sherlock Holmes], rather, I watched [Batman] as a reference to capture the special characteristics of a butler (p/s: Batman has a loyal and faithful butler).
When commenting on the film, which is the extension from the television drama aired in year 2011, Sho commented that the difference between the drama and the film is that he interacts with Keiko's role most of the time. Whereas in the movie version, he get to interact and see other fellow roles, for the first time in his filming for nazotoki dinner no ato de!
When Keiko and Sho were asked to comment on the impression they had of each other, Sho said: "Having collaborating with each other for the past 2 years, the actors, actress and production staff have built a very strong and deep friendship and unity, in regardless of inside and outside the filming. Everyone was able to trust each other".
Keiko also agrees. " Through tough or interesting times, everyone has become close to each other, like a family, we were able to trust and unite further".
