SPEED forms again last year and the singer activity has restarted including the drama though it risks, it performs to a lot of works, and the actress activity is also remarkable.
Q: Which impression you have of scenario of this work?
A: The sea is a leading part, and a lot of scenes in the sea occur from this work. How is the one that express to "Sea"? How is the sea made an image by the scene where it rounds in Hokkaido?
I wanted to see early.
Q: Has taking a picture of this work gone to Hokkaido up to now though Hokkaido was a center?
A: It has been in Sapporo and Hakodate. One side where Hokkaido is different was seen though it went for the town because coming to the port in the sea and summer in Hokkaido was the first time.
Q: Is there an episode under taking a picture?
A: Anyway, it spoke well by you of the inside and the costar who moved spending two time from one and a half hours in an individual location site with the bus every day. After that, Hokkaido was actually felt be not to large because it renewed.
Q: Is Maiko Kawahara of this work performed and how?
A: Running after Tetsuro Ishiguro, Maiko had come from Tokyo to Hokkaido. If there are some chances, Tetsuro want to return to Tokyo, nd is the desire that we some cannot do and …. Such she came to Hokkaido, there are various meeting, and performed and a terrible, painful post of feeling various things, and consenting in me. But Tetsuro perform Yuki Shimizu couple, They taste good to you is that I sympathize with the experience? Yuki and her character really is that there is a conflict. However, Yuki's feelings will last, because they are showy draw in what I as a woman.
There was a sympathetic side.
Q: Is there a part that Ms. Uehara looks like oneself with Maiko Kawahara?
A: Does it look like neither so nor to sublime so that my feelings are not realized in me? It thinks.
Q: Is there a part that doesn't look like oppositely?
A: It is? ..it is because it is Maiko's character.... though it is spent that Maiko is a period when" "Because of ignorance my youth is comparatively long with Yuki". It thought. Strange, spending a long together period only with Tetsuro. Because I was considerably shy of strangers…I did not think it for me to have.
Q: In a role that you prepared?
A: the character I play the role of OL has not, so never got into that profession, I have not liked her love Tatsuro, under the aspect of her job as Tatsuro doing so, the body language and way of speaking is the first I put it out.
Q: When playing the role, directing requests from what was?
A: As for my feeling and the desire of Director of move some lines were those asking people to think about moving on their own. The scenes between the women, for example, be sensitive about the atmosphere or to each other, and I was concerned about playing a part other than dialogue.
Q: I think that Ms. Uehara also has one side as "Singer" in SPEED formed again recently and "Actress" as work, "Express it". What one are "Singer" and "Actress" for Ms. Uehara?
A: The play is different from me. Is a challenge becoming in another person doing the play. However, telling the song as SPEED, the main character is in it. Even if there is a set and I shall convey something through his own. I tell myself that I would not change a singer and actress. It becomes something a different person it performs or is the one of putting out from drawing out that I really have or differing though not known.
Q: How is the role making when acting done?
A: Feelings "How do you do in case of yourself?" and "If what the person said" are captured and it acts. Because it might be understood that the person changes when becoming other person's feelings says after all like this, the role is made by thinking "It is myself" and "If your opponent ..." are said.
Q: What is it in her business?
A: in the same role, for many of the plays, like going to a different color, I think I'm doing in what way, and I want to do? It's one of the lead role as an ill looking.
Q: It has appeared in the film, you can change your thinking?
A: This work is a talk of two people's to whom various things that who were adult and in one's thirties were experienced doing a new start and advancing by a new desire. I'm a mid 20, and now this color or width than the width of the character, I love the adult, Up to now, I have wanted to challenge the role that has not been performed again.
Q: Do you think that you wants to do the activity of the acting career emphatically in the future?
A: Yes, yes. because I like it very much. I am considerably terrible, exist a lot of role of something a serious role or the orthodox school, and want to break the husk, and to try a different role at all with myself.
Q: Do you want to work through this?
When gradually growing up, and natural andnd try to reverse that between that and seeming to differ thinks that it is in the life actually at all. Things change for people, not Is it difficult? However, because my base to some degree takes for myself in a quite different direction like Mr. Tatsu row and I feel the new addition to the starting area with your own achievements in a different direction entirely. Not that hard, I do not think to want you to carry it out until you consent that it does and it wants at any age to do to the last minute because I feel strength carried out through the work when I achieve and I do.
Q: What did you learn through this work?
A: works of Hokkaido's "The Sea" was something that important. The set is not that someone with a real natural, because it can feel like .... I came from Tokyo and the role of the people of Hokkaido, it was not, and I felt that my own experience I went to Hokkaido, really, to feel that way and act in I knew that I cherish.
Q: Uehara's activities in the future?
A: SPEED activity now, the act is that it is a little bit, but if there is any opportunity, and a variety of challenging roles I want to think. SPEED and the acting career are quite different it. I will have to stimulate them both, but it is really fun.
