Robert's Ryuji Akiyama, a member of Yoshimoto Kogyo, appears in " Yakuza8 Gaiden Pirates in Hawaii." In the interview, he talks about how he felt when he was chosen to appear on the show and how he felt after the recording.
Q. How did you feel when you were chosen to appear in the show?
Ryuji Akiyama: Of course (Yakuza's) existence is dragon-related, and the dragon connection comes in. To my ears. That's where I got the call, so, yeah? I wondered if it would be all right. I thought so at first. No matter how you look at it, is it a worldview that fits a bread-and-butter comedy type guy? I thought. But this time, it was a pirate worldview, so oh! I thought I would like to dive into this one.
Q. How did you feel after the recording?
Ryuji Akiyama: It was a lot of fun. I like pirates, so "Yakuza" matched well with that. I had a lot of lines, and I said them from morning till evening without a break. I recorded the last batch the other day " ah! The last one I recorded was the last one! " type of thing and I almost collapsed.
Q. How did you feel about the live-action shoot with the Minato-ku girls?
Ryuji Akiyama: There were five of us, and I took the stance that I was popular with the girls and brought them flowers and tried to seduce them in various ways. I'm the type of person who shows off when I'm given free reign.
Q. Message to your fans
Ryuji Akiyama: To the fans of the "Yakuza" series! I'm so excited to be a part of this world. It's a lot of fun, I have a lot of lines, and there is a musical in the middle of the show. I hope you enjoy it. And please accept me! I think I might have the body I've been working on to be here. This blackness, this long hair! I think it fits me like crazy, if I do say so myself. To the crew. I think it fits the crew of the ship Goro Maru. Please give it a try!
