“Little Subculture Wars ~Villevan!” Even a mistake can turn into something interesting if you look at it differently. Actor Amane Okayama thinks from a “bird’s eye view” [Actor’s Interview Vol.8]
Subculture is an “escape place” where you can reset your mind.
Q: By the way, “Little Subculture Wars ~Villevan!” In the movie ``The Counterattack'', there was a line that really resonated with me, ``I was saved by a subculture.'' Mr. Okayama, do you ever have a moment when you feel like ``I was saved by a subculture?''
Okayama: After all, subculture can be a place of escape.
I love manga, and even though a lot of things happen in a day, going home and reading manga makes me feel better. That's how I reset it.
I'm relieved to be able to spend time with my subculture without being disturbed by anyone or being alone.
Q: By the way, what kind of manga do you like these days?
Okayama: “ Blue Period ”. It's a story about a mischievous high school student who discovers the fun of art and aims to study at the University of the Arts, but while it has the passion of a sportsman, there are also some great lines that are rich in originality, and each character stands out well enough to be the main character. , there's a dynamic development, and there's all of that.
Q: “Blue Period” is interesting, isn’t it…!
Okayama: There's a lot of overlap with my own feelings about work, and I can't help but feel excited while reading it.
The main character fails, makes some progress, and then falls to the bottom again...this is a cycle that repeats itself, and this kind of ``wave'' also exists in this work. I can empathize with what you see in such situations and how to draw your own conclusions.
There are parts of it that put into words what I was vaguely feeling, so I think it has a really wide scope, and since it depicts universal things, anyone who reads it will be able to relate to it.
Also, “Villevan! In terms of ``A Silent Voice'' (2016), I remember exchanging information with Moga Mogami about our favorite anime during filming, and we both recommended `` A Silent Voice '' (16). I love it so much that I've watched it three times already, and I've been thinking about when I'm going to watch it a fourth time.
