Completion press conference of "Daijoubu Sangumi"

TOKIO's Kokubun Taichi and writer Ootake Hirotada attended the completion press conference of their movie "Daijoubu Sangumi" on 19 February. The movie is due to be shown from 23 March and is based on the novel by Ootake about a teacher born without limbs and how he interacts with the primary school students under his charge. Ootake admitted that when he was first offered the role, he rejected it but later accepted it because he realised that no other actor could take on this role of a person without limbs. This movie makes it his first acting role and Ootake commented that he hoped to appear in a Taiga next time. Kokubun was also full of praise for his co-star's performance and said that he almost wanted to depend on Ootake for everything rather than the other way round.
