[Translation] Jun's interview, Engeki Book, vol 156 April 2012

[shojunniji]

T/N: Jun was chosen by the audience/Engeki book (Theater Book) magazine readers as the best stage play actor in 2011 through his play 'Ah Kouya'. The magazine interviewed him and he talked about the play, Ninagawa director, and other things.
btw, 'Ah Kouya' was also chosen as the best play.

Enjoy!

I was shut off from the audience, and lived only

Thanks for translating and sharing! ^.^
I am surprised with some of his answers and, at the same time, I just can imagine how focused he was at that time, living as Shinji… I wish they had made a DVD of the play… u.u
Also, it is interesting to read his words about Lucky Seven - he sure was having fun during the filming! ^.^

[shojunniji]

right, he was so focused and couldn't think of anything but doing his best as Shinji...
let's hope for the DVD :)

[shojunniji]

right, he didn't declare arrogantly that he had improved,
but in reality he did improve, he's just being humble *me thinks*
thanks :)

Thanks for sharing the translation. The play itself was really intense - not to mention long. It was hard concentrating through the entire play, but it was really interesting seeing him so immerse in his character.

[shojunniji]

yes, it was very intense and long, but I think I managed to concentrate on Jun and his acting whenever he was on the stage :)

thanks for reading....
