Taiga, Joe Odagiri, and Masayoshi Tominaga, the live-action version of "Pumpkin and Mayonnaise", what are the musicians of the three men?

If I had him play a gay man, he would be Joe Odagiri.

Now, with Seiichi and Tsuchida in financial difficulty after leaving the band, one person appears between them, as if to press the final nail in the coffin and drive the stakes into their breakup: Tsuchida's ex-boyfriend, Hagio. Even in the original comic, this guy has always been skilled at controlling the reins of romance, and he throws out words and actions that never leave a woman's heart, with annoyingly exquisite precision. To make matters worse, in the movie, this man is played by Odagiri Joe, who exudes the composure of a middle-aged man. He's an adult who no longer needs to play any kind of game about what the other person thinks, so he just tells them The Truth.

"You really liked me, didn't you?" "I hated you so much." "But I like you now."

These are the cruel truths of the past, spoken by someone who, when Tsuchida was younger and more innocent, had been infatuated with him, toyed with him, and ultimately broken his heart. However, even if Tsuchida is a little hurt by these words, he is able to keep a cool expression, showing just how mature he is, and he is cunning enough to skillfully use Hagio to escape reality and the uncertain future he has with Seiichi.

One notable difference from the original story in Hagio's sleazy behavior is that he chooses a standing bar for their rendezvous. He stands the whole time, standing next to the bar, with no intention of even checking Tsuchida's expression. The words that come out of his mouth are very skillful, and he always creates an exit that allows Tsuchida to slip away from the responsibility of the affair, guiding her towards a decision. Odagiri Joe's upward glance and smirking face make him seem sneaky. One wrong move and he could only come across as creepy, but he comes across as the ultimate free spirit, which is why he's a sinner.

Odagiri also starred in Director Tominaga's 2006 feature debut " Pavilion Salamander ," in which he played a novice and clumsy X-ray technician. It is interesting to compare his career over the past 10 years.

What is Tominaga's work that continues to depict obsession and dependence?
