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。
