Matsumoto Jun's first co-starring husband and wife role with Ueto Sai comes from the TV series < the Senri > next door.
In the winter of 2022, in "Senri Next Door" starring Jun Matsumoto, which was broadcast on Japan's TV Asahi TV on Thursday, the wife of the protagonist played by Matsumoto was determined to be played by Japanese actress Ueto Sai.
The work tells the story of a compassionate and loving man, but half-hanging, helping neighbors who live in the same apartment solve their troubles, and the apartment becomes a harmonious community closely linked to each other.
The role played by Matsumoto Jun this time is slightly different from the previous impression, playing a "mid-waist man", which has become a hot topic of discussion.
Ueto's wife, Lantern, is the manager of a clothing store and a college classmate. The moment Light moved to the apartment with her 12-year-old daughter Eri and her 10-year-old son, Takataro, she was faced with the "nosy" force of patiently helping every household in the apartment every day.
As a ghost writer, Qianli has been writing essays for celebrities, and Lantern is a lively and cheerful woman who has always had the idea of letting Qianli write her own novel.
Following I'm Home (aired in 2015), Uedo-sai reappeared on TV Asahi's TV series after a gap of about seven years. Ueto, who has received praise for his acting skills, will attract attention in the image of the couple who will show him in this drama with Matsumoto Jun, who performed together for the first time.
An interview with Jun Matsumoto (Chiri Nakaetsu character).
―How did it feel to perform with Ueto Kei for the first time?
Matsumoto: Finally, we have our first concert together! It was the first time to act together like this, and because we were together in high school, we had known each other for a long time. Husband and wife characters should say "happy". [Laughs).
Because we know each other very well, some aspects are very simple to complete the cooperation, but there are also places that make people feel shy.
―This work is written and directed by Kazuhiko Yukawa, what is the scene of Mr. Yukawa?
Jun Matsumoto: I play a character named "Senri", and when I see Mr. Yukawa on the shooting scene, I feel "very powerful" for a moment. I looked at Mr. Yukawa and thought, "Wouldn't it hurt to say this?" "But let's say it?" He also learned that "Ah, Qian lijun was originally such a person." All in all, it was a very happy shooting scene.
The most important thing is that the script is written by the director, so the director will convey to the actors how to write the script and his own ideas.
In addition, I have spent a lot of energy in building various role relationships, which is very important, which makes me feel very relieved and happy.
―What do you want to say to the audience?
Matsumoto: The Power Next Door is a very bright TV series. Everyone, including my relationship with Xiao Deng (Kamito), thinks that there is such a family in reality. And the cheerfulness of the small lamp will also create a warm atmosphere in this TV series.
In addition, how Qianli will face and solve the various problems that occur in this neighborhood is a major highlight of this drama.
Although one of the themes reflects some social problems in Japanese reality, it will definitely not seem too heavy, and I think it should resonate with everyone!
Interview with Ueto Sai (wife, Nakaetsu Nin, character).
―How did you feel when you first worked with Jun Matsumoto?
Joe to sai: I met Mr. Matsumoto when I was 15 or 6 years old, so I feel a little shy if I think so (laughs). Overall, it's easy to get started. There are also suggestions that say "Isn't that better?" ”。 The daily shooting was very enjoyable!
I am also very aware that my form will become more and more formed, so I also have a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. And with other actors, the staff are the same age, with everyone has a sense of teamwork.
―This work is written and directed by Kazuhiko Yukawa, what is the situation on the scene of Mr. Yukawa?
Kamito: Really, net is a beautiful release of some scrap works (laughs)! The director is very meticulous in his instruction, and if he can perfectly indulge in the role, he will be praised by the director.
On the contrary, if there is a slight deviation, the displeasure will be immediately revealed. Many of the experiences of starring in this TV series are still very fresh and happy.
Uedo-sai: Shooting with Mr. Matsumoto every day, I felt "Matsumoto Run, which I've never seen before." The laughing and exciting Qianlijun is such a character full of love and energy. I want to let everyone see such a "new Matsumoto Run" as soon as possible!
Writing is not easy, praise and collection, and the hand leaves a lingering fragrance.
