Kazuya Nakai's comment

--What is your impression of the character Akitaru Sakurabi?

Nakai: He is a man of kindness, severity, strength, and a little bit of a hard-headedness.

This is my ideal image of what I want a leader to be like.

He is cool in his activities in the field and in teaching his subordinates, but I am most impressed by his compassion for the victims and their bereaved families.

--Please give a message to the fans who are looking forward to this film.

Nakai: We, the cast, are preparing step by step, and with each recording, I feel that the voices of the characters and everyone else are becoming more and more united. We are not expecting the work to be released and over in the blink of an eye, so we hope that everyone will take their time and wait with anticipation.
