    Director Harada talked about his own work in an interview. He usually watches TV talk shows and pays attention to what the actor is talking about in his own capacity, not that the script has edited the lines and explores the inner side of the actor. From time to time, they will arrange some roles for actors who are interested, and make certain combinations. I mentioned Keita Machida and Junichi Okada. Both of them had starred in Hijikata Toshizo. He arranged for them to star in "Midnight Cowboy". The director usually thinks like this, which is very interesting. It seems that Machida gave the director the impression of a simple, loyal, tall and sturdy "stud horse" image! Very nice and fun.
