Iwata plays Satoru Hanaoka, a classmate of Torako played by Sari Ito. Regarding her role, she said, “The thing that shocked me the most was that it’s a work that depicts a lot of male superiority and female supremacy, so there were lines that disrespected women at every turn, and in Hanaoka’s case, she took the lead in doing that. , there are many scenes in which he says his lines to represent the image of men at the time, and I think there are scenes in which he reveals his true feelings, but in reality, it’s not his true feelings, but the difficulty of living in society. In fact, as I played the role, I wondered if that was the case even back then, where you had to keep everyone around you in line.”

He also mentioned his impression of Ito. “Well, as the chairperson, I’m leading the way in the play, and I can hear laughter all the time on set.My voice is quite distinctive, so I can recognize you no matter where I am. I don’t know if he’s doing it, but we’re really encouraged by the fact that he’s having so much fun filming it. It’s really hard, isn’t it? The amount of lines he has to say is ridiculous, and we’re all like, “Are you okay? “No matter what I say, I always smile and say, “It’s totally fine! “I thought that was very admirable,” he said, expressing his full trust in the chairman.
