<Comment from Takuma Usa>
“I’m Takuma Usa, and I’ll be playing the role of Hajime Sakuma. Having read the original manga series, I could relate to so many aspects of it being in the entertainment industry, so I couldn’t wait to start filming. I hope everyone watching At 25:00 in Akasaka will be thrilled as if they’re watching something happening in real life. I’ll be sure to play my role so that I can support the two leading actors behind the scenes throughout the production.”
