A New Attitude. "Needless to say, Double Face was created by two different TV stations working together, which was never done before. It was created by both TBS and WOWOW, and aired at each broadcasting station. I think this new tactic will be the centerpiece of this experiment. I feel that TV is being pushed from the other media now unlike before. In such an era, a drama like this to come out into the world is very experimental, and I was able to see a new attitude.
The month and a half of filming was very exciting for me. I believe the quality of the end product will be very good, too, and the "Okay!” given by the director also proves that, as well. Please enjoy..."

Face to Face. "Although I’ve been friends with Nishijima-san for more than 20 years, this was the first time we really worked together so I was really looking forward and interested in working with him.... I always thought of him as a very stoic person and I think this drama also showed that very well. His acting and body are both are very lean. That is something I can’t steal from him. The scene where we are face to face, my acting has somewhat a loose and flimsy feel to it but Nishijima-san’s acting shows his conviction resonating from his body. While I was acting, I thought this symmetry must be very interesting to the director." ~ Kagawa Teruyuki
