Yamada Head over Heels for Tamaki
Yamada Takayuki and Tamaki Hiroshi costarred in the new movie ‘MW’ that premiered on July 4th.
The ‘picaresque’ film is about two young men who are the only survivors of a freak accident that kills every resident on an obscure island. Although sharing such a haunting memory the two eventually become the focal point of a battle of good versus evil over the mysterious substance called ‘MW’.
Asked about his experience working with Tamaki, Yamada looking slightly embarrassed said “I got myself all worked up about how cool Tamaki-san was. He’s good-looking, tall, and I like his voice too. He has a mischievous side that is so cute. He’s terrific.” He repeatedly talked about Tamaki being ‘cool’ and ‘terrific’, and showed that he was quite taken with Tamaki even now after the filming had ended.
Tamaki seemed proud of having reached new heights as an actor through this film. “I took on the role of a villain because I wanted to try something that was radically different from my previous roles. I think people will be able to see me in a different light.”
