Sakurai Sho’s drama “Daibyoin Occupation” is being broadcast every Saturday at 22:00 on Nippon Television. The cast of Ao-oni, Aka-oni, Shiro-oni, Yellow-oni, and Kuro-oni was revealed in episode 5, which aired on February 11.
A completely original suspense drama regarding a large hospital that Japan is proud of being occupied by a mysterious armed group wearing a demon mask. As the story progresses, the truth hidden in the mysterious incident will be revealed. In 2019, the production team of the suspense drama “Voice 110 Emergency Command Room” (NTV), which was broadcast in 2021, gathered once more.
In episode 5, the identities of Aoni, the leader of the armed group “Hyakki Yako” that occupied the hospital, and other cast members who played demons were revealed.
A scene was broadcast in which Koni and Shirooni cried when Musashi heard that his daughter, Emiri, had been taken hostage. In addition, video distributor Inaba (Asumi Rio), who was hiding in the hospital, reveals himself in front of the demons. Inaba negotiates to film an interview with Ao-oni in exchange for the release of the video of Ha-oni and Momo-oni removing their masks, which he took while hiding. Then, while the interview with Inaba was being set up, the true identities were revealed in the scene where the blue demon, red demon, and black demon gathered at the staff station and took off their masks.
Ao Oni’s true identity is Sexy Zone’s Fuma Kikuchi. It is revealed that Shugo Oshinari will play the red demon, Hijiri Mahi the white demon, Shuji Kashiwabara will play the yellow demon, and Becky will play the black demon. Regarding this drama appearance, Kikuchi said regarding his first co-starring with his close senior Sakurai, “It’s the first time I’ve been able to work with him in a drama, so it’s fresh, but it’s because we usually get along. , On the contrary, it is a scene where there is a sense of tension (laughs).” Oshinari said, “When I entered the preparation room, I was even more surprised when I saw the demon’s costume. It wasn’t a costume, but a mask that was almost like a transformation. I might feel the seriousness of the staff.” I spent most of my time hiding my face with a demon mask.It was very difficult to act in a situation where it was difficult to read facial expressions other than the mouth.” There are a lot of things that are new to me, such as ‘Oki’ instead of my name, and I feel like I’m enjoying a game somewhere.” I didn’t think it was that bad (lol) I’m happy to finally be able to tell you!”, commenting on the behind-the-scenes unique to the role of a demon while hiding their true identities.
And from the next week, when all the demons are revealed, the purpose and identity of the demons will gradually become clear.
comment
Fuma Kikuchi (Sexy Zone)
To be honest, I was surprised when I was selected for the role. I never thought that I would be able to appear in the drama on Saturdays in January, so when I first heard regarding it, I was honestly like “I did it”. When I heard the outline, I thought that the more I heard, the more interesting I heard, such as the villain whose face was not revealed until episode 5. Above all, the main character is Sho Sakurai, a senior. It’s the first time I’ve worked with him in a drama, so while it’s fresh, it’s a scene where I’m nervous because I usually get along with him (laughs). In playing Ao Oni, I am conscious of being calm and collected. At first, he seems to be enjoying (the occupation), but as the story progresses, it gradually becomes apparent that the demons may have various thoughts, so that For the sake of the gradation, in the first half, I think it would be nice if I might show the feeling that I am enjoying the game calmly. In the second half following episode 6, I think various things will happen from here, so I’d like to show a contrast with the first half.
[There was a discussion on SNS, etc., but what was the reaction following the start of the broadcast? ]
It was painful (laughs). Her name was mentioned so many times that it almost broke her heart (laughs). Her college friends and her juniors at work also contacted me, but they didn’t say yes and responded with a grinning emoji (laughs).
Shugo Oshinari
First of all, I was happy to be able to work with the staff who took care of me on “Red Eyes” before. Last time it was an impressive role, so when I asked him what kind of role he would be playing this time, he turned out to be a “red” demon, so it was pretty crazy! I was surprised at first.
And when I entered the preparation room, I was even more surprised to see the demon costume.
I felt the seriousness of the staff and the mask that was almost a transformation rather than a disguise.
It almost made me think of a transformation pose.
Even during the work, public opinion is divided between the demon faction and the police faction in the distribution channel,
Perhaps because I’m acting, I’m reading the script with a completely oni-ha way of thinking. As the backbone of the demons gradually becomes clearer, I hope you will sympathize with it. I would be happy if you might enjoy watching the preparedness of such demons.
True Flying Saint
I always hide my face with a demon mask like a ninja. It was very difficult to act in a situation where it was difficult to read facial expressions other than the mouth, but since Shiraki is a mother, I tried to be like everyone’s mother.
Starting with Mr. Sakurai, the cast and staff other than the demons always care regarding the disabled demons, and the scene is wrapped in kindness and warmth. I would be happy if you enjoyed watching it until the very end.
Shuji Kashiwabara
The filming began in an environment where no one other than those involved should be allowed to reveal that they will be playing the role of Koni. There are many things I have never done before, such as going to and from the filming location in disguise, and the name tag in the dressing room, not my name, but “Koni”.
Sakurai-san and all the demons, contrary to the content of the work, are very friendly and lively in a good atmosphere.
Please look forward to the unpredictable future developments!
Becky
Hello everyone. I’m Becky, and I’m playing Kurooni.
I didn’t think it would be this hard not being able to promote the drama I’m appearing in (laughs). “Occupation of a large hospital” is too funny. Really great! I am truly grateful to have been allowed to participate in this epic filming and story. Mr. Sho Sakurai, who has co-starred many times.
In my mind, I had the image of “Arashi” and “host”, but this time, seeing the awesomeness of “actor Sakurai Sho”, I’m stunned. She’s really amazing.
I’ll stick with the chairman until the final episode, but I’ll do my best to fight back!
