The New Challenge of
Arashi Ninomiya Kazunari
Ninomiya Kazunari dyed his hair for his role in a new drama. Ninomiya who has high pro’s awareness and as an actor keeps his breakthrough, spoke passionately about the existence of Arashi, acting, and his work’s policy.
The atmosphere was getting brighter when he entered the studio. Doesn’t it make you think that the aura of popular person is that strong, does it?
The one we are talking about now is Ninomiya Kazunari, member of National popular group Arashi. In the previous day too, it’s been a while he was busy with the drama’s filming until late at night, but when he was standing in front of the camera, his eyes was shining dignified. It’s been his 16th year entering Jhonny’s management and 12th year since debuted as Arashi. His pro consciousness’s level is also well-known.
[I always think about relationship of mutual trust with the other whenever I do my job. Honestly, regarding to Arashi, it’s never changed. Each member has their own project even those are drama, movie, or stage play, and from that experiences I think they met a lot of people and discovered a lot of things. However, Arashi never get affected by those. We look like sibling in a family, where there is always a place to stays, and it’s always like that. At least, that’s what I feel about Arashi.]
Please be relief for this reason, because Ninomiya can do his own activity even as an individual. In his case, one of his activities that are prominent is working as actor, after all. He doesn’t only make appearance in many hit dramas like [Ryuusei no Kizuna], [Freeter, Ie o kau], but also appear in many movies starting from [Ao no Honou] directed by spotlighted Ninagawa Director, and step forward appearing in Hollywood movie directed by Clint Eastwood [Letters from Iwojima] that depicted the battle of Iwojima in the end of the World War II. He was praised high by the world media because of that performance.
[Acting is interesting. The work I like. Of course I’m simply happy if that acting was valued like that. However, there’s an awareness of me that being the actor is not my main occupation. I don’t mean I didn’t do it professionally. I appreciate being called “Acting-clique”, but in my opinion, to the people who really work for stage play, they are not really being praised “Great Acting”. Isn’t it rude for them, is it? I headed to be an Idol, but I don’t express “the smile of idol’s class”. I always think that the praise and the true adjective that I got related to my acting, is the word that fit for a person who do it as not they main work. That’s why when I’ve been told like that, I think it means I, my self still have to work harder.]
When [Letters from Iwojima] was screened at Berlin Movie Festival, he’s been asked about his advancing to Hollywood by the foreign media, and he answered flatly, “In Japan, I work as an Idol and it’s a priority. Practically I don’t have any intention to go to Hollywood.”
[It’s a real pleasure of making a new encounter and working in a drama or movie. With that meaning, it’s been a great experience for me to meet with Eastwood and appear in his movie. However, there is a great compensation to keep on appearing in Hollywood movie. I had to absent from any work in Japan for the filming, and Arashi’s member also had to match their schedule with me, accelerate their work too. Being treated like that, I couldn’t find the fascination of filming movie abroad.]
He moves not because of the relative values but because of absolutely values of “what does he want to do”. He also has his own theory about the acting method.
[I don’t divide the characters. I only read my part in the script so I don’t really understand the whole story. Acting is not done by one person, but there’s partner and also the reaction of that act. I think it’s not something that build up but deliver naturally.
I’m facing my work with my all power. I want to do something new.
He looks fresh with blond hair but it’s for the drama [Kuruma isu de boku ha sora wo tobu] of 24 hours television where Arashi has been appointed as the main personality, broadcasted August 25th and 26th. A young man who didn’t live his life seriously, his lower-body get paralyzed, can he resuscitation from his despair and move forward...
[This time is the 3rd time Arashi is being appointed as the main personality of 24 hours television. In this drama also, I’m able to work with the staff that I already known so it’s not like starting from zero anymore, that’s why I always want to do something new.]
A project with his might start from the plan and do a lot of meeting.
[I only feel being the Idol but in the other hand, I want to expand the framework of the Idol and recently that thought has been getting stronger. The junior in the management is increase and I’m not the type who bravely cares for my junior, that’s why I can’t bother them too. As long we (Arashi) could do our own job, we want to expand the chance for them.]
Concert, variety show, drama, TV, movie.... Regards of the genre, whatever the work is it’s him who handle it, his role as Arashi’s member.
[There was the time when we didn’t have any regular show, that’s why the awareness of receiving money is strong, and we think about the work seriously.]
To be a pro?
[I could tell that as long there’s merit, it worth. Whether is a pro or a amateur. I’ve been asked often about what kind of work I want to do next, but in my case, the basic is passivity. The project that I want to do is rarely could be realized. I think whatever the work is, it must be the person who can do it. Speaking clearly, I’d like people to think “I want to let him to do this” about me, so that’s why I will give my best.
Your work’s motto is “Give all your best till the end!”
[Facing something with all your best is important. Whatever to what, to give all your best is not easy. That’s why, please think that I could still improve and grow. What a satisfaction for me if there is someone who will think like that.]
