Satoshi Hashimoto's Comment
"This year I’m turning sixty—a year man (and even the 60-year Fire Horse!). And I’m in the middle of Yakudoshi! Even though it’s said to be a yakudoshi year for actors, I ended up having a purification blessing… No, this is not the time to be paying attention to roles in such an important year! Then again, I decided to finally pull myself together and look back at the roles I’ve played. I would be happy to share with you the many landscapes I’ve witnessed through the characters I’ve played. Now, which roles should I bring along…? Stay tuned!"
