Pocket Monsters: Advanced Generation The Movie - Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea - Manaphy (released in 2006) was the first movie I ever saw when I was in first grade, and I went to see it with my family. I also played the Nintendo DS games, and I've always been exposed to the culture of Pokémon, so I feel like we've grown up together. When I lived in Mexico, Pokémon was very popular at my school, and I realized that it was a culture that originated in Japan and that people liked it so much, even though I lived abroad.

I used to see Pokémon as "cute" when I was little, but now that I'm an adult, I've come to realize how deep the message is. In this movie, I play a boy raised by Pokémon, and I thought the theme of the movie is the connection between people and Pokémon, such as the fact that even though they are not related by blood, they are still parent and child, and there is a bond between people and Pokémon. I'm looking forward to seeing how Kankuro-san, who plays Zarude, will breathe life into Zarude.

ココ ザルードに育てられ、自分のことをポケモンだと信じる少年。 声|上白石萌歌 Comment
「劇場版ポケットモンスター アドバンスジェネレーション ポケモンレンジャーと蒼海(うみ)の王子マナフィ」(2006年公開)は小学1年生の時初めて観た映画で、家族と一緒に映画館に観に行きました。ニンテンドーDSのゲームもやっていて、ポケモンという文化にずっと触れてきたので一緒に育ってきた感覚です。メキシコに住んでいた時も、現地の学校ですごく流行っていて、これが日本発信の文化なんだというのを身に染みて実感しましたし、ここまでみんなポケモンが好きなんだというのを海外に住みながらもずっと感じていました。

小さいころは“ポケモンかわいいな”っていう視点で見ていたものが、大人になった今、こんなに深いメッセージが込められていたんだと感じるようになりました。今回私が演じるのは“ポケモンに育てられた少年”ですが、血が繋がっていなくても親子だということだったり、人とポケモンとの絆など、色々なつながりがテーマの作品なのかなと思いました。ザルード役の勘九郎さんはザルードにどう息を吹き込むんだろうと楽しみにしています。
