He performed the tension unique to Jean-Pierre with great spirit, acting ability, and a beautiful voice.

Matsuya, who was wearing a patissier costume for the first time in his life, wowed the audience right from the start by saying, "When I put it on, I was so embarrassed I wanted to go home (laughs).

When asked how he felt about being chosen as a guest voice actor for the film and how he felt after finishing the recording, he replied, "I had a lot of fun acting. In fact, voice acting was something I had always wanted to try again. I was surprised and happy to be asked to participate in a movie based on a very popular anime series, and to be the first Kabuki actor in the series.

When asked if he and Jean-Pierre have anything in common in their pursuit of the ultimate sweet, he replied, "We are both men. I think it's cool that you, as a man, can put your life on the line for something. Jean-Pierre taught me that I can still grow. Expectations for Matsuya's future career are only increasing!

When asked about a "memorable sweet," which is also in the title of the film, he replied, "It's a chocolate cake that a friend made for me a long time ago. Actually, it didn't taste good (laughs).

He also revealed the secret story behind the birth of the "sweets men" of the Kabuki world.

Finally, he commented on the highlights of the film: "The character I played this time, Jean-Pierre, is a unique character who could be described as a 'sweet weirdo' without exaggeration. However, he is a funny genius, and at the same time, he is a charming character with a comical charm. Please come to the theater to meet this "funny" Jean-Pierre! He concluded his speech strongly.
