YOUNG GTO!", the second episode of "Director Suzumura's Glass Sun Night", a program in which director Nobuhiro Suzumura serves as the main personality, was broadcast on the Nico Nico Channel on November 30, 2020, from 8:00 p.m. The program was titled "Director Suzumura's Glass Sun Night".
Director Suzumura's Glass Sun Night" is a talk show featuring Nobuhiro Suzumura, a visual director, as the main personality. The program features not only actors, actresses, voice actors, and other entertainers, but also creators, cultural figures, musicians, and other powerful guests.
In the second broadcast, Tomoki Ito, who played the role of Majigreen/Kotsu Tobito in "Magical Sentai Majiranger" (broadcast in 2005), appeared as a guest. The talk was very lighthearted, as it was an appearance by an ally of director Suzumura, with whom he had a great deal to drink and talk about at the time of filming.
Although it had been less than two years since their last meeting, the two were in full throttle from the very beginning! They continued to exchange witty and sophisticated conversation.
When Ms. Suzumura asked Mr. Ito, "What do you remember about those days? Mr. Ito was asked by Ms. Suzumura, "What do you remember about those days? At the time, Mr. Ito had just turned 20 years old. On the other hand, Director Suzumura was in his mid-30s. Mr. Ito, who is now about the same age as the director at the time, seemed grateful again, saying, "How could you have drinks with such a young man in a private party?
When the two were invited to an animation convention in the U.S. as members of the "Majiranger" team, they chatted and drank all the time. You talk too much! She said that even such episodes were "a lot of fun. Even that episode was "a lot of fun," she recalls.
On the other hand, the filming of the movie was fraught with tension. This was because the Super Sentai series at the time was shot on 16mm film, and the number of films that could be used for each episode was limited.
Director Suzumura said that in episodes 23 and 24, in which the enemy monster "Belbirigi," who was modeled after himself, made an appearance, he was so enthusiastic that he used so much film that he had to write a report. He also said that he had to rehearse properly.
Ayumi Beppu, who played the role of Yoshika Kozu/Magi-Pink, said, "I want to play Red. I wanted to play Red, that's why I came all the way here," she told the staff.
In addition, Mr. Ito told other episodes that reminded the audience of the Ozu brothers' bond, and both fans and director Suzumura were surprised at the new discovery, saying, "I didn't know such a thing happened.
The "Oshiete! and a quiz to guess the names of "XX Ranger" and "XX Man" from the "XX Sentai" series of successive "Super Sentai" series, the audience was then invited to answer questions from the audience and SNS.
The question, "Who is your hero? In a change from his light-hearted mood, Mr. Ito talked about the appeal of Robin Williams, the hero who inspired him to become an actor.
He also talked about "You're My Hero," the "Majiranger" 15th anniversary commemorative song that was performed at an online talk event featuring the Ozu brothers on November 3, 2020. The song is an original song written with OP singer Takafumi Iwasaki and ED singer Sister MAYO, and there are no plans for its release at this time for various reasons, but depending on the response from fans, something may happen. However, depending on the response from the fans, there may be some movement.
The second broadcast gave us hope for the future development of the project.
The third broadcast is scheduled to begin at 20:00 on December 21, 2020.
The guest will be Tomokazu Seki, a voice actor who not only appears in many tokusatsu works but is also known as a tokusatsu fan himself!
Don't miss it!
Mr. Ito's comment after the broadcast
I spent a lot of time with Suzumura-san during "Majiranger," and I felt sad when the recording was over, but when I see him again like this, even occasionally, I feel like I was in my youth. It was a fun time.
I am grateful that my fans still see me as a hero and that I am still a hero thanks to them.
