Since I first played Rohan Kishibe in 2020, the TV drama series has had four seasons, and including the last movie, there have been a total of 10 episodes over the course of five years. As I've mentioned before, being able to live within one character for such a long time is a valuable experience as an actor, and I feel incredibly fortunate. In addition, this time around, we were fortunate enough to shoot the entirety of At a Confessional, the origin of the original Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, in Venice, Italy, just like in the original work. The uncertain timeline of the original work's world is tied together in the world of the flesh-and-blood Rohan Kishibe I play.
And now, we've finally reached the origin of the original work. Perhaps this good fortune can only be felt by a flesh-and-blood human being. In addition to the staff I've worked with so far, we have also been joined by cheerful, earnest, and wonderful staff from Italy, and I think we were able to create a new world for Rohan Kishibe once again. In the last film, Rohan came into contact with his roots, his past, and his inheritance through the "regret" at the Louvre in Paris; next, he'll encounter what you could call the flipside of that, "luck," in the present. This work can be enjoyed both by fans of the original work and by those who love the world of the Rohan I've played so far, as well as those who will be watching for the first time. The new cast members are all actors that I am honored to be working with. I hope you all look forward to welcoming them as well. I am so very lucky to have been able to play Rohan up until now, and so lucky to have met everyone who has been involved with the project. I hope I can deliver what you could call the overlap of these two things to everyone who comes to the theater. I'm looking forward to it, too.

20年に岸辺露伴を演じさせていただいてから、これまでテレビドラマシリーズは4シーズン、前回の映画も入れて全10話、5年目になります。以前にもコメントさせていただきましたが、これだけ長い時間を一つの役と生きられることは、俳優として貴重な体験ですし、幸運に感じています。加えて、今回は原作に於ける「岸辺露伴は動かない」の原点である「懺悔室」を、幸運なことに原作通り、全編イタリアのヴェネツィアで撮影しました。定めていない原作世界の時系列が、生身の人間の僕が演じさせていただく岸辺露伴の世界では、一つに繋がっていきます。
ここにきて、ようやく原作の原点に手が届きました。この幸運も生身の人間だからこそ感じられることでしょうか、これまでご一緒してきたスタッフに加え、イタリアの陽気で真摯な素晴らしいスタッフが加わり、また新たな岸辺露伴の世界を作れたのではないかと思います。前回、パリのルーヴルの「後悔」で自身のルーツや過去、受け継がれるものに触れた露伴が次に遭遇するのは、捉える人によっては表裏一体となる現在の「幸運」です。原作ファンの方、これまで僕が演じさせて頂いてきた露伴の世界を愛してくださる方、どちらの方達にとっても、また、今から作品を見てくださる方にとっても、どなたに於いても楽しんで頂ける作品になっています。新たに加わった出演者の方達もご一緒する事が光栄な俳優さんばかりです。是非そちらも楽しみにして頂けると嬉しく思います。僕が露伴としてここまで演じさせて頂いた幸運と、携わって下さった皆さんとの出会いの幸運。その重なりとも云えるものを、劇場に足を運んでくださる皆様にお届け出来ること。今から楽しみにしております。

I'm so honored to have the opportunity to work on At a Confessional, which is also the origin of the original Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan. This time, I visited Venice for filming, a city that lives and breathes history and art. There was a good sense of tension and excitement in the air, and I had an exceptional time on set. Savoring the happy times I've spent in Rohan's world, I performed my role with the utmost care once again. I hope you will enjoy the film in theaters.

「岸辺露伴は動かない」原作の原点でもある、『懺悔室』の作品をやらさせて頂くことになりました。

今回、撮影で訪れたヴェネツィアは、歴史と芸術が息づく街でした。
いい緊張感、高揚感が漂っている撮影現場で、特別な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
再び、露伴の世界に参加できたこと、幸福な時間を噛み締めながら、大切に演じさせていただきました。

ぜひ映画館で、楽しんで頂ければと思います。

The origin of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series, At a Confessional, as a film. Even now that filming has wrapped up, I can't believe that we were able to shoot this memorable and important episode entirely on location in Venice. It was a strange city where light and darkness seemed to coexist. Ruins, cemeteries, churches, aristocratic mansions, maze-like cobblestone alleys. And in the midst of it all, Rohan standing as dignified as always...
I cherish every place we filmed and every moment. I want to keep shooting forever. I don't want this moment to end... As I continued filming with that thought in mind, I became convinced that At a Confessional could not have been born anywhere besides this city. This is a story about a "curse," but also one about "love and resolve." I want you to take a peek into the bizarre world of the weak and preposterous people who continue a desperate struggle, one that unfolds in a city of water filled with a decadent and immoral tone.

「岸辺露伴は動かない」シリーズ最初の作品「懺悔室」。

この記念すべき大切なエピソードを、オールヴェネツィアロケで撮影できたなんて、クランクアップした今でも信じられない。そこは陰と陽が混在する、不思議な街だった。廃墟、墓地、教会、貴族の館、迷路のような石畳の路地。そしてそこにいつものように凛として立つ露伴先生…。
撮影した全ての場所、全ての時間が愛おしい。いつまでも撮り続けていたい、この時間が終わらないでほしい…。

そんな思いを抱きながら撮影を続けるうちに、「『懺悔室』はこの街でなければ生まれなかったのだ」と確信した。この物語は「呪い」の物語でもあるが、「愛と覚悟」の物語でもあったのだ。退廃的で不道徳な気配に満ちた水都で繰り広げられる、弱くて滑稽で、それでも懸命にもがき続ける人々の奇妙な世界を覗き見て欲しい。

The original work, At a Confessional, was the first work to feature Rohan Kishibe as the main character. The drama has been running for five years now, but I think we needed all that time to finally reach this first episode. I would like to thank everyone for their support. The setting is Venice. As always, Rohan sees what he wants to see, hears what he wants to hear, and as a result, is struck by a disaster named luck. I would appreciate if you watched it on the big screen.

原作「懺悔室」は、初めて岸辺露伴をメインにして発表された作品です。ドラマはもう五年目ですが、このファーストエピソードに辿り着くには必要な時間だったと思います。これも皆様の応援あってこそと感謝いたします。舞台はヴェネツィアです。露伴はいつものように、見たいものを見、聞きたいものを聞き、結果幸運という名の災難に襲われます。ぜひスクリーンで見届けていただければ幸いです。
