NEWS.DWANGO.JP: GACKT "immediately declined" offer to play a high schooler in his late 40s
Actress Nikaido Fumi and singer GACKT attended the Japan premiere of Tonde Saitama the movie (releasing 22 February), which was held in Tokyo on the 28th, along with Iseya Yusuke, Brother Tom, Shimazaki Haruka, Kato Ryo, Masuwaka Tsubasa, Nakao Akira, Kyomoto Masaki, and director Takeuchi Hideki.
This is a live-action adaptation of the intense gag manga of the same name by mangaka Maya Mineo which thoroughly disses Saitama citizens. Asami Rei (GACKT), who is a transfer student returning to Tokyo, takes on a battle that involves all of Kansai to gain freedom for Saitama citizens as a member of the Saitama Liberation Front which seeks to abolish waybills.
GACKT, who is now 45, revealed the backstory of his casting, saying, “Initially, I was told that it was an offer to play a high school student and I immediately declined”. After which, he spoke of continuous surprises, adding, “But I was told that even if he is a high school student, he’s a special high school student, like ‘What!?’. And after that, I heard about the plot and went to film, but on the first day, I was greeted with a kiss scene. What kind of process is this!?”. Despite that, he eventually became enthusiastic, saying, “We started with such an ornate and luxurious set that our get-ups felt more normal, to the point that the staff’s plain appearances looked out of place. All my co-stars’ makeup was amazing too and since things began with a great start, we began filming with a great perspective. It felt like we were being manipulated by the director’s hands until the very end”.
It was also his first meeting and first time working together with Kyomoto, who has a similar presence as him. GACKT was looking forward to it, saying, “I’ve been acquainted with Kyomoto-san’s makeup artist since a long time ago, and I kept hearing about him, but it as the first time I was actually going to meet him so I was looking forward to it”, but he added with a wry smile, “When visited Kyomoto-san’s dressing room to greet him, and he said ‘We finally get to meet~! But, you know, we’re the same type, aren’t we!’. Right then, I blurted, ‘Are we!?’”.
On the other hand, of the quirky actors which included Kyomoto who were gathered, Nikaido said, “Everyone came from their own planets to earth with a flourish, and all went home with a flourish, that’s what the site felt like. That’s why, in this time’s film site, I worked with the feeling that I had to properly do what I should while thinking that I was the most decent one there”. To that, Kyomoto inclined his head, as if thinking, “What? That was a surprisingly impolite thing to say coming from here, isn’t it?”, while GACKT raised his hand without missing a beat, retorting, “I thought the same thing. That I’m the most decent one”.

NEWS.WALKERPLUS.COM: GACKT with an unexpected offer to play a high school student in Tonde Saitama! 「I initially immediately declined」
The live-action movie adaptation of Maya Mineo’s comic of the same name, Tonde Saitama (releasing 22 Feb), held it’s Japan Premiere in TOKYO on 28 January at Tokyo Dome City Hall. It was attended by Nikaido Fumi, GACKT, Iseya Yusuke, Brother Tom, Shimazaki Haruka, Kato Ryo, Masuwaka Tsubasa, Nakao Akira, Kyomoto Masaki, and Director Takeuchi Hideki. Acting as a high school student for the first time in 5 movies, GACKT confessed that he was flustered when he was given the offer, saying, “Initially, I was told that I got an offer for the role of a high school student. I immediately declined”.
The original is a popular comic of the same name where the absolute dissing of Saitama citizens unleashes a crushing impact. Set in a world where Saitama citizens are heavily persecuted by Tokyo citizens, the story tells of the meeting between Dannoura Momomi (Nikaido); the son of the governor of Tokyo and the student council president of a prestigious school in Tokyo, and Asami Rei (GACKT) who looks like a Tokyo native at a glance but is actually a member of the Saitama Liberation Front. The uniquely “Maya world” character visualisations that looked like they came straight out of the original work also became a hot topic
GACKT, who plays the unique character of a transfer high school student who is a “secret Saitama citizen”, made the audience laugh when he opened with “Initially, I was told that it was an offer to act as a high school student. I immediately declined”.
“After that, they said, ‘Even if he is a high school student, he’s a special high school student’. Doesn’t that lead to the question of what kind of a high school student is that?’,” he said with a smile. Continuing, he spoke of how he found himself immersed in the world view thanks to his co-stars and the elaborate sets despite his initial bewilderment. “The first day of filming was a kiss scene (with Nikaido). We started with an ornate and luxurious set, as if it is of a level that is on par with the looks that we were in, to the point that it made the staff’s normal appearances look out of place. All my co-stars’ makeup was amazing too. Since the gateway into this was in this form, I got into its world view with the good start for both me and Fumi-chan”.
Nikaido too, who tried out a male role for the first time, felt that it was a valuable experience, saying “Highly individualistic people were gathered. It was as if people from different planets came to earth, did everything with a flourish, and then all went home with a flourish”. “I thought that I was the most decent one. I acted with the thought that I should properly do what I need to”, she added as a joke, and GACKT replied, “I thought I was the most decent one though”, drawing laughter from the crowd.
