Q: You might have inspired by Gackt's strong interest towards movies ?
H:Yes. He is such an intelligent person, and.. he has lots of ideas, so he makes a story more interesting... For example, when we were reading a script, he often said 'Oh, I want to do something like this in this scene!' I was only listening..., and only saying, 'Yes, yes, I agree with you !', or 'Yes, that's a good idea!' (laugh) It was fun.
Q: Was it something like you hadn't experienced before ?
H: mmm... Making music and acting are different but it's almost the same.. When I made a song, I used to bring it up to ken chan, he arranges the songs with his taste.. it's similar.. The way to express things are slightly different but I liked that.
It was like making promotion videos. The pvs normally contain not only the performance we play..., .. oh, it's not really playing the song live either, so you have to act like you are actually playing. In this way, it's close to make pvs.
Q: I see, but what made you to take a part in the film..?
H: I don't know. After I've completed the first album, I didn't feel like writing songs, so I was wondering what I was going to do next.
Q: How was the filming in Taiwan ?
H:u~~~n.. I studied how I can act like the other actors. It's not cool if the quality of my acting is low, is it ? I didn't have a chance to meet any actors before but once the shooting starts, there are professional actors there, I thought 'Wow, they are totally different !' (laugh) I had many things to learn every day.
Q: You didn't act as you are in the film?
H: To be in the film as I am... that was the difficult thing.. There's no script usually.... so even asked to be act naturally, .. for example, going to the toilet, right ? I do it very naturally, because I'm living for some decades. (everyone laugh) However, when it's on the script, you will confuse how you do it normally. Er... when I open the top of the toilet, where do I put my left hand normally?, or, which finger do I use to open the top? so on. (laugh)
Q: I see. What was your role in the film ?
H: He is immortal. He lives forever. In his lifetime, he makes some friends but he feels pain in his heart with the difference in him and them as they are growing up.. Many things are happening in the film.. Gatchan is a mafia, so there are some actions.
Q: Someone immortal ! If he is a human, you wouldn't have taken the part ?
H: Maybe I wouldn't. (smile) If he is a human, I would have said there's no need to call me up.
Q: Gyahahaha!! (laugh at loud) We took some shoot of you being a vampire a year ago. Had you had that offer already that time ?
H: No, I've got it after that.
Q:It was a coincidence then?
H: yes.
The part was good. It's something different. If he was a human, there are thousands of good actors there. To be honest, I could've had a chance to choose a part, to be a mafia or an immortal. I had a talk with Gatchan, then we thought that's no point if I was to be a mafia.
