Honey and Clover
Toma Interview Part II
Q 璃子ちゃんとは撮影の合間、どんな話をしているんですか？
A 最初は食べ物の話から入って…。好きな食べ物とか嫌いな食べ物の話とか。あと、ゲテモノの話（笑）。璃子ちゃんが本を読んでいて、「何の本を読んでいるのかな？」って思って見たら、ゲテモノの本で（笑）。「今日、私、ゲテモノの本を持ってきたんで、後で一緒に見ましょう」って言われました（笑）。「そういうのも読むんだ？幅広いね」って感心しました（笑）。
Q 生田さん、璃子ちゃんのおふたりに、原田夏希さん、向井理さん、成宮寛貴さんを加えた５人は、本当に仲がいいですよね。
A ロケの合間とかも、気づいたら5人が固まっている、みたいな感じですね。「まさにいまこの感じ、“ハチクロ”じゃん！」みたいな雰囲気に、スッと入れましたね。
Q 璃子ちゃんは、原作のキャラクターでは森田さんが好きだそうですね。
A 本人にも言ったんですけど、前にテレビのインタビューを見てたら、「『ハチミツとクローバー』が凄く好きで、いつも読んでるんです。森田くんとか、真山くんとか凄くいいですよね」って言ってたんですけけど、「竹本」なんて「た」の字も出てこなかった（笑）。
Q 今回は、またまた片思いする役ですが…。
A 寂しいですね（笑）。竹本の恋愛は、そこを超えちゃってる感じもありますからね。一応「好きだ」という気持ちは伝えるけど、受け入れてもらえなくても言ったことを後悔していないし…みたいな。男も女も、恋愛によって変ることって凄くあると思うんですよね。だから、そこはリアルに表現できたらいいな、って思っています。
Q “片思い”と聞いて思い出すことは？
A 片思い…難しいですね。後で、そのときに聴いていた曲とか見ていた景色とかを思い出したりするものじゃないですかね？ あとは…冬場に片思いすることが結構多いかもしれないですね。
Q 改めて、『ハチミツとクローバー』の魅力とはどこにあると思いますか？
A 凄くキレイな漫画だと思います。どこにもない、『ハチクロ』だけの世界観があるし、たくさん出てくる詩的な部分も凄くステキだし、おバカな部分とせつない部分のバランスもいいし…。ドラマも、そういうバランスを大事にしながらいけたらいいですね。芝居中も、何かしら動いていることが多くて、止まってしゃべり合っている、というよりも、細かく作りこんでいるんですね。監督も、男3人でいるときは、アップよりも引きの絵を撮ったりすることが多くて…。そういうグループ感みたいなものは、ずっと大事にしていきたいですね。
Q. What do you talk about with Riko-chan during filming breaks ?
A. At first, it was about food... The kind of food we like and don't like. After that, we talked about getemono (*laugh*) Riko-chan read a book on it [What kind of book does she read, I wonder ?] I thought and went to have a look. It's a book on getemono (*laugh*). [Today I brought this getemono book here, so let's read it together from the beginning] she said (*laugh*) [She reads this kind of thing ? Reads widely, doesn't she ?] I was impressed (*laugh*)
getemono --> strange food
Q. Ikuta-san, you and Riko-chan get along well with the rest Narimiya Hiroki-san, Mukai Osamu-san and Harada Natsuki-san, don't you ?
A. During times like filming breaks, the 5 of us are noticeably getting closer, I can feel it. [Just like that, and we feel this way already, it's really Hachikuro isn't it ?] We bonded fast.
Q. Riko-chan seems to have a fondness for the character of Morita-san in the original work right ?
A. Yeah, she said it herself, before she watched it on television, she really loves Honey and Clover and always reads it. She said people like Morita-kun and Mayama-kun were great. Takemoto's character wasn't mentioned (*laugh*)
Q. Is it a a one-sided affair again this time...
A. It's lonesome, isn't it ? (*laugh*) Takemoto is going to experience that kind of feeling. For once, to able to tell someone [I like you] and not feel regret about it ... I want to try it. Man or woman, to change because of love is a wonderful thing isn't it. So, to represent it 'real' in that way would be good, wouldn't it.
Q. When you hear "unrequited love", what do you think of ?
A. Unrequited love... it's difficult isn't it. During that time, when you listen to some music or glimpse at certain scenery, the memories will come back. Perhaps, during the winter season there's many cases of unrequited love.
Q. What do you think, is the charm in Honey and Clover ?
A. I think it's a really beautiful manga. You can't find it anywhere else. In Hachikuro's world, a lot of of lovely poetic moments will appear, baka moments, painful moments, there's good balance... Even in a drama that kind of balance is an important quality. In plays also, there are many things to move it along, the right moment to stop, to do a detailed production. The director, there are people to upload, to do filming, many things ... That sort of group feeling, it's important to go on doing it this way.

Honey and Clover
Toma Interview Part I
Q クランクインはいきなり出会いのシーンからでしたね。
A 出会いのシーンを撮っているときの成海璃子ちゃんを見たら、「あ、はぐちゃんだ！」って。トキメキましたね（笑）。桜が似合うこと似合うこと…素晴らしいですね。
Q 生田さんも、短パン姿がステキでしたよ。
A メイク部屋に入っていたら、笑われたんですよ。「短パンが…」って（笑）。
Q ご自身の短パン姿はいかがでしたか？
A どうですかね（笑）。まあ、冬なのでやっぱり寒いですよ。最近、レッグウォーマーを手に入れまして。それを愛用してます（笑）。ただ、寒い分、空気が凄くキレイだから、絵ももの凄くキレイに撮れるんですよ。だから、寒い中で頑張ったかいはあるな、って思っています。
Q 役作りの面で苦労されたことは？
A 僕は、割と現場で作っていくタイプなんですよね。今回は、珍しくリハをやっていて、撮影日とは別にリハ日を設けて、できるところはリハをやってから本番に臨む、というスタイルをとっているんですけど、その中で、みんなで芝居しあいながらやっていければいいかな、って思っていたんです。あとは…谷村監督がこだわりを持っている方で、細かいところまで指示してくださるので、8割くらいは監督の意向に忠実にやりながら、残りの2割で「ちょっとやってみようかな…」みたいな感じですね。
Q 得意の？独白シーンも多いですが…。
A そうですね（笑）。まあ、思いつきでやってみて、「ダメ！」って言われたすぐ止めよう、って思ってますけど…。でも、『花君』（『花ざかりの君たちへ～イケメン♂パラダイス～』）とは違いますからね。「また同じことやってるよ！」って思われるのもムカつくので（笑）。新しい何かを出していこうとは思っています。
Q 竹本くんが恋してしまうはぐみ役を演じている成海璃子ちゃんの印象は？
A 見た目が大人っぽいから、「どっちなのかな？」って。大人なのか、ちゃんと15歳をエンジョイしてるのか…。やっぱ、凄く仕事に対して真面目だし、プロ意識が高いな、と思う反面、話してみると、ちゃんと15歳してるところもあり…。璃子ちゃんって、思い出し笑いを凄くするんですよ（笑）。急にひとりで笑い出して、「どうしたの？」って聞くと、「いや、3日前に…」みたいな（笑）。「いつの話だよ！」みたいなことがありましたね。
Q. The start of filming, and it was straight into that encounter scene, ne ?
A. When I saw Narumi Riko-chan during that scene, [Ah, its Hagu-chan!] I thought. My heart started beating faster (*laugh*) The sakura really fit the scene perfectly ... it was wonderful, ne.
Q. You too, Ikuta-san, you cut quite a figure in your short pants.
A. When I went into the make-up room, I laughed out loud. [They're short pants...] I thought (*laugh*)
Q. Personally, how did you think you look in the short pants ?
A. How is it, I wonder ne (*laugh*). As expected, because it's winter it's really cold. Recently, I bought some leg-warmers. Those are my favourite (*laugh*). Nevertheless, during cold weather, the atmosphere is really pretty and you can capture it beautifully on film. So I'll do my best to work in the cold.
Q. What challenges do you face during filming ?
A. I'm the type who improvises on the fly. This time though, I didn't do it as usual. I rehearse properly before the actual filming day so that I can take on the scene properly. That's the style I have now but during filming as everyone is performing their part, I start to wonder if I'm doing it properly. After that, Director Tanimura who is meticulous, right down to the minute details, will give out some instructions. Maybe about 80 percent of the director's vision is faithfully realized on film, the leftover 20 percent makes me have this feeling of [Wonder if I could have better conveyed his point of view].
Q. Is it your specialty ? There are many monologue scenes here also ...
A. There are, aren't there ? (*laugh*). Well, I wanted to take a chance with the idea, then [No good!] I felt like saying and to immediately put a stop to it, but ...Hana Kimi (Hanazakari no kimitachi e ~ikemen ♂ paradise~) was different, ne. [Doing the same thing again!] People are going to get sick of it (*laugh*). I intend to show something new.
Q. Your impression of Narumi Riko, who plays Hagumi, the one Takemoto-kun falls in love with ?
A. She appeared adult-like so [Which one is it?] I thought. Adult-like or someone properly 'enjoying' being 15 years old ... As expected, in regard to work she is serious and highly professional. On the other hand, when you speak to her, there's also the real 15-year old there. Talking about Riko-chan, I remember something funny that makes me laugh even when I'm thinking about it now (*laugh*). Suddenly, all by herself, she burst into laughter. [What's the matter?] I asked. [No, 3 days ago...] She said something like that (*laugh*) [Huh ? How long ago was that!] That kind of thing happens, ne.
Bila punya story la ! That's what Toma was thinking heh heh.
Read Part II here.
