MM 9

The venue isMBShead office.


I will go in and wait from the entrance waiting for Mr. Pui Pui to rin Yo ... ....


First of all preview was done. Koji Ishizaka is in charge of opening narration,Nostalgia special effects dramaIt reminds me.

The first story is the story of the day before Fujisawa Sakura (Anna Ishibashi) is assigned. Synopsis is like this.

As a young female newcomer comes, Ashida (Mr. Takahashi Kazuo) of Ki Ai Kaibutsu group leader starts to organize desks. Other members, Kurihama countermeasure director general (Yutaka Matsushige), Muromachi section manager (Minagawa monkey) are also excited about that topic and only the Buddhist priest (Miko Ono) who was appointed as an education officer for the newcomer did not float It was. Mori who received a message saying that the M7 was confirmed that night will head to the coast of the site with Ashita who came to pick up, but M seemed to have already returned to the sea and there is no danger of re-landing. The next morning, the people who started the investigation thought that M landed for egg laying, dig up the sand beach but can not find the egg. Eventually, the witness's testimony comes to worry about the warrior ... ....

Friendly is a shadow that predicts the appearance of M (monster) to the last, alarms the surrounding area by analyzing the information, advises the SDF in notes. Therefore, we do not fight directly from M, but I usually commute to work and work in the office. The appeal of the drama is also in the fact that it is in a non-everyday world in which M appears, but also a very daily human drama is developed.

After the preview, Mr. Shinji Higuchi and Ms. Anna Ishibashi appeared and told about the work. This is the first television challenge by Mr. Higuchi. "I thought that I want to do something I can not do in the movie is getting stronger," said the thought.


I wonder if you can plan a project with more emphasis on the character than the story, "Ultra Q"Eiji Tsuburaya thought about the same thing, Director Higuchi who talked with King record otsuki producer. At that time it seems that Mr. Yamamoto's novel "MM 9" came out. "The fact is that if the electric shock ran into the novel called" MM 9 "for the first time at this time, in fact it has already been read", the director said, "It's impossible in the movie" for the first time, that's why Although I thought that it would have come out in the form of a novel, when I got it again, "I think this is an ant," he said. Otsuki P issued it and decided to prepare, "This is a fight, this is the only thing", burning Kazunori Ito, a fighting friend who fought together in the "Gamera" series, dragging out from Atami and writing a script I got it.

Casting thought about what kind of cast to make this story, he appeared the person who thought that Hiraguchi cooked from the corner to the corner, and carefully made up the character. However, it seems that it seems impossible to visualize the original as it is as the limit of the drama when making it. Therefore, as many dramas succeeded as "THE MOVIE" as it became, the part which could not be realized with drama is in the movie ... ... and so on.

Grand Prix won the Horipro Scout Caravan in 2006, Anna Ishibashi will be 17 years old on July 12. In this work we play Sakura Fujisawa, one of the heroines. Introduction When I heard the story of this drama, Mr. Ishibashi said, "I get excited about the monster's drama? It seems that the human drama that individual character rich characters come out when I receive the script, I felt a strange feeling that I did not do much impression of monster. It was fun to shoot every day and to have fun with other actors.


In response to the question "What kind of use did you use Mr. Ishibashi?", "Ishibashi-san has the kindness and purity that he originally owned, and so far it was a good role for a good boy, but once that "I thought I was going to destroy it," said Higuchi. Mr. Ishibashi also told me that he said "There is not much impression of a monster", "It is natural because she made her (Sakura Fujisawa) as a monster (laugh) About the first episode and the second episode I made it because she said that she is going to make a wave of the wind first, "she said.

The director also took Mr. Ishibashi to the National Science Museum in Ueno, showed various creatures and processes of evolution and tried to make me think that "there are monsters?", But the inside was refurbished It seems that the exhibition was getting very good, so I was excited myself with Mr. Ishibashi.

Regarding shooting, it seems that they are receiving instructions as "M is about this size and floating around this" as CG synthesis is actually not actually on site but afterwards, It is difficult to distinguish between the reaction to the imaged M and the reaction after the actual synthesis, so it is said that all the co-stars talk and inflate the image. M appearing in the second episode seems to have been surprised to move faster than Mr. Ishibashi thought. In response, Director Higuchi said, "Although it was more relaxing on the scene, when I saw the play taken with it, I thought" Wow a little earlier is fun, "I made CG faster," CG He told me that he was playing catchball instead of play.


What monster will come out with special effects, what kind of M will appear in the future will be interesting. It seems that the director Higuchi said that it is spoken by the publicity department as "this is not talkative", but if you imagine from that "do not talk" ... If there is nothing you will not say "do not talk" (Laugh) "" Anyway, "I do not speak" is said to have been included.

Regarding the narration by Mr. Koji Ishizaka at the opening, when I was watching TV at one time I was doing a drama "Wataru is a demon only" and that narrator was Koji Ishizaka ... After I got a lie, "I think that it is as you imagined," he replied. Mr. Ishizaka thought that Mr. Ishizaka would be good for starting such a drama, although it was a slightly urgent request, Mr. Ishizaka got consent. It seems that it was more difficult to clear the condition "I need your help at Yokohama studio" (Ishizaka resides in Yokohama) which was issued as a condition.

In addition, director Higuchi said that it is the first television challenge, with regard to the difference with the movie about whether there is a CM, "It is between the line when CM enters and it is effective to stir viewers' imagination" I talked.


Here, the original author Hiroshi Yamamoto appeared. Mr. Yamamoto says that his work is the first time to be dramaized, he said he left everything "Please do it freely." This seems to be because it was understood that it would be difficult to imagine his work as it was, so it was fun to be enjoyed as one viewer as he had it done freely when actually seeing it.


However, saying that the original is completely ignored is not such a thing, and in the ending where the shadow picture of the monster flows, it encompasses all the monsters appearing in the original. Moreover, Mr. Yamamoto was also surprised because it was the same person who produced this shadow painting the same as the one who produced the monster shadow picture of the first Ultraman OP.


Mr. Yamamoto says that Ultra Q generation was born in 1951, because there was Ultra Q, so there is myself, so it seems that it was "MM 9" that I thought about writing such a work. By the way it seems that "Friendly" of course is aimed at naming, but when asked to drama by Higuchi director Higuchi asked "What is the name of English?" In a hurry it seems to have made the name "MMT" .


The drama "MM 9" starts broadcasting from MBS 7/7 (Wednesday) 25: 30.
