Interview – Yuichiro Umehara (YP)

[graysheep]

• First, please tell us what your impression was when you received the offer to appear in the project.

It seemed stylish and cyberpunk-ish to me.
The cast are all familiar faces, so I was optimistic that it would be an interesting project.

• Please tell us what you think about the character you voice.

Although YP, the character I play, is pretty laid-back, I believe he's so aloof that it's hard to tell if that's his real personality or simply a facade.

• Please tell us your impressions after recording the drama.

I was impressed by the dry laughter he occasionally lets out, because you can't tell if he's interested or not.
I was asked to keep that in mind when I received directions, so I made an effort to express his easygoing way of life.

• Please tell us your thoughts on recording the song.

When I first heard it, I wasn't sure if I could sing it properly because it sounded like a difficult song.
However, once we started recording it, I was able to naturally fall into the rhythm of this upbeat song, which was a lot of fun.
