Kenichi Matsuyama (aka L)
translated by TenkenSmile
"For those of you who watch "BIGLOBE", this is Kenichi Matuyama, playing L."
"What did you find tough to prepare for the role?"
The least I must do to play L was... Well, my make-up specialists and fashion coordinators helped me a lot. I don't look like L myself (pointing at his own face). My face looks ordinary. So they helped me to look more like L. Besides, I learned from the original manga how L was supposed to behave/move. Though of course he doesn't move (in the manga), there are many cuts I can use for references. I myself started with those movements. And the director advised me to sound/speak like L. (grining)
"What is the must-see point of the movie?"
The movie isn't completely faithful to the original manga. There are new charactors appearing in the movie too. I believe audiences will surely draw fun from these changes and hope they enjoy it too. Um, I also didn't wanted to play L as he is (in the manga). So I meant to add a new aspect myself. Well, just a little thing, though.. I'd like people to see it."
