He talked about baseball, drama, and Mr. Yokota, who interacted with this work. ■ Shotaro Mamiya Interview -When did you meet baseball with Mr. Mamiya? At first it was a softball. When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I started being invited by a friend, but it was fun to catch a catch ball. I was protecting the third. When I transferred in elementary school, I wanted to play baseball and belonged to a local baseball team. In my same grade, there were few people playing baseball, and there were more friends who play soccer and basketball. I was sad to think that the baseball population was small. ――What is the charm of baseball for Mamiya -san? Tension ... Of course, as well as other sports, there is a sense of tension that stops playing at that moment, where the play stops for each ball and the tension runs for each ball. … I think all one ball is thought. As a player, I like the feeling that adrenaline comes out in the scene of "I have to hit here!" ――So, what are your impressions when you received the offer of this work? There was a different pressure from other works as I thought I would refuse at least once. There was a strong sense of mission that Yokota -san had to play the half -life. ―― In the program, Mr. Mamiya and Yokota are also broadcasting. What is Yokota's impression? I met before the shooting, but I met Yokota's straightness. At first I was afraid of each other (laughs), but I talked a lot when the camera was stopped. I asked what kind of feelings about the back home in the retirement game, but at that time, it was impressive that the ground was completely different ... it looked very vivid. When the ball flew, I felt like I was pushed my back by something, and I was scared because I couldn't see the ball and my legs that had fallen back came out ... but when I threw it. He doesn't remember that. When I noticed, the ball arrived at the catcher mit, and I heard cheers and said that I returned to me. I think that was the feeling that time stopped. I thought that the moment of such a miracle was that Mr. Yokota really focused on baseball and continued to play baseball. I felt that Yokota -san has accumulated, and various thoughts have created that back home, and I felt that it was connected to Mr. Yokota today. I asked Yokota about his current goal. Then, he said, "If you are fighting the same illness or the parents who have children who are ill, if you can do your best, you can be a little more encouraging." It was very impressive that the goal was already being executed. Rather than aiming for something in the distance, the "one step" that I took forward when I was in a miracle back home is still steadily stepping on ... I felt even stronger while I had it. ――Please tell us about the scenes that are playing the role and have left an impression. In the scene where Yokota -san was decided to retire, it was a line saying "I will stop baseball." Rather than finishing a professional, "stop baseball" ... It's terrible to be a professional in baseball that has been enjoyed since childhood, but if you think that you have to be a long -awaited professional and you have to say this word a few years later, I personally get it. There was a great thing. When I played the scene, I always thought about Yokota -san during the waiting time. What kind of play, how to say the lines ... I felt more when I talked with Yokota. Then the emotions naturally got on. For me, with a mysterious feeling, the feeling of shooting that scene still remains. ――Is a strange feeling? yes. Not to mention Yokota -san, like Yokota -san's baseball, he may have been thinking about those who had to choose to stop what he had been working on. That's it. I myself was not as good as Yokota -san, but I felt that in my life, I lost something that had been taken for granted in my life. I hope that Mr. Yokota's message, who is still moving forward, will be transmitted through me through the experience that I had to give up in my life. ――When Mr. Yokota asks Mamiya -san, "What is your dream?" is that so…. When I was a junior high school student, when I left the movie theater after watching a movie, I had an experience that it looked like a different world before entering a movie theater. I think that a movie or drama has the power to change life by meeting. I would be happy if there were anyone who had such an experience in the work I appeared. ――This “Miracle Back Home” is also such a work. Not only baseball fans, but those who have done their life in their life, those who have lost so much, and those who are trying to move forward after losing. It is a work that can be transmitted to those who have experienced such things. Because of the true story, Mr. Yokota's message is overwhelmingly realistic. When the message is transmitted to the person who watched me, I think I can feel the meaning of what I was involved in.
