From the "ULTRA-ACT" series, the long-awaited "Ultraman Dyna (Flash Type)" from the "Heisei Ultra Series Early Trilogy" is finally here!
It follows the proportions of "Gaia" and later, which combines smartness and strength, and is packed with optional elements that expand the range of displays, such as a head with glowing eyes due to a light-gathering ver. A.N.I.M.E., an attachment for direct connection to a stand, and various effect parts. But what's most exciting is that the three great heroes, Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia, will finally be gathered together in the "ULTRA-ACT" series.

 

So, this time, we welcomed Takeshi Tsuruno, who plays the role of Shin Asuka Dyna in the movie `` Ultraman Saga'' released in March, and talked about his memories of `` Ultraman Dyna'', which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, as well as anecdotes about the movie. He talked about his passion for figures!

■ Takeshi really I think have grown along with the Asuka Tsuruno, I think with the "Do not'm a lifetime Asuka".

――When “Ultraman Dyna” aired, how did you feel when you took on the role of Shin Asuka?

TsurunoI I'm from Asuka role in the fledgling actor was the first of the leading role, was as it is role of Asuka was the new members of the Super GUTS at the time. But I think that it was still very cheeky It was also low awareness for the work in the 22-year-old, it is the feeling that I had grown along with Asuka to continue to play for one year. Or listen to the voice of the fans, by or Furea' and buggers us, I think that I was able to grow awareness sprout in, after all.

Asuka is the third one compared to the previous Ultra Heroes ... it's pretty broken, in a good way (laughs). In that sense, I think Dyna is not a "existence above the clouds" hero, but a "neighborhood brother has become Ultraman". That's why it's very human and has a dream that "anyone can become Ultraman". I was always aware of that part even when I was in contact with the children.

- Also after 15 years playing the same role, I heard there is no valuable experience.

TsurunoYou grow because I is also human beings, it is I think probably Asuka also that it is together. So then I have thought, "okay with now of life-size than the old image", part of "Takeshi Tsuruno way of life = Asuka Singh of living like" I want to cherish. In that sense, I think we have grown together and Takeshi Tsuruno really Asuka, I think with the "Do not'm a lifetime Asuka". Although I'm lost her father two years ago, but it is do Asuka and the circumstances are together in that sense. It things are really respected father, Nde still chasing that of the father. In that sense, it's exactly the same feeling as the Asuka. So this movie is also, I think that it is not so much gaps in the personality and inner. But there are quite to the eye basis (laughs).

- Was played first in the Asuka in the natural posture is, I guess was good.

TsurunoThe first time I read the words of Asuka in the audition, "This, I'm Jan!" I thought. Because it was the state as it is their own both in terms of content and characters manner of speech, "This is strange to pass If we do not role-making" I think, you're challenged to audition as it is of their own to really. At that time also really natural posture, it did not contain all the power in the shoulder. So ...... I is such a thing cheeky's and think that I knew I would say, I thought I really from that time as "Asuka is something of myself."

- Asuka It is the setting of the original pitcher, but was "Dinah" itself baseball work of story packed with ...?

TsurunoI, until recently but I was saying that the Pacific League I Bae league (laughs), I do not know at all that much baseball things. It had been thrown in the grab without knowing even grip the way of the ball since I was a child, I know baseball players because only Kitabefu and Bath (laughs). So from the "Gaia" in the post-program on the sport is applied to the elements of the audition, I have over the also annoying to younger (laughs).

■ "believing heart" and "give up not feeling", it was thought that I do now is the time transmitted again.

――In "Ultraman Saga", you played Asuka for the first time in three years. How was it?

TsurunoThe first thing I talked about was after the earthquake, so when I read the script, it was the power of Ultraman... I thought it was good. It seems that Asuka's feelings and the parts that Japan must cherish now are linked, and I want to convey those feelings as Asuka again.
Isn't Ultraman literally a super person? Therefore, I want everyone to feel the power and strength of human beings once again. I also felt that this work taught me the human power, "Everyone is Ultraman," and I would like everyone to feel that.

- In the shooting, or has been reunited with members of Super GUTS?

TsurunoIs I have not met this time. Once It was the e-mail to everyone, I thought I ...... but I wanted to go to see "Do not Do not go to the scene." But I understand and get to see a movie, there is a scene of "Asuka traveled for 15 years," like such events, mine is present in the spot I thought the "kana destroy the atmosphere." In fact, when the last round of "Dinah," If we had been on the scene I was told "me remove the seat" from everyone. Because it was a place to shoot the scene after the Asuka has traveled, I "because there is not enter feeling After staying in front of the eye" (laughs). "Certainly it seems to Do," but I thought the, it is there is also a place that caught still (laughs). Even now you'llcome many people are me to cherish that of "Dinah", to there I want to I also kept still, so I think I want to go to make properly.

- In the "Saga" of this time, it has also appeared in the new members.

TsurunoI DAIGO (BREAKERZ) and (Sugiura) the sun has work together from the usual, members of AKB48 (team U auditors Sayaka Akimoto, Ayaka Umeda, Sae Miyazawa, Yuka Masuda, Kana Kobayashi, Sumire Sato, Haruka Shimada ) is I ...... actually Nde not met only in Toka song program, the captured this time I'm only four days do not participate (laughs).

Members of AKB is, is not it hella young? I DAIGO and the sun is'm still go age, because I have gone longer slightly, not go about her our glue. Within that explore explore, it is four days was the cause ...... a little disappointing too (laughs).

--DAIGO's Casting, it was surprising when I first heard.

TsurunoBut Asuka was also pretty Bukkake winged character, Taiga hope that DAIGO is played guess because we are flying Bukkake much ...... 3 times more (laughs). So the first time I read the script, "this character, if the play?" I I had thought I, to have done is actually convinced After watching the play of DAIGO, If you watch in the preview, "Well, are satisfied It! "said. It was already at all ants. Really it is interesting this time!

■ If my father was Ultraman, wouldn't it be a nosebleed (laughs)?

――By the way, what does Tsuruno's eldest son think about his father playing Ultraman?

▲Tsuruno plays with the ULTRA-ACT Ultraman Dyna (Flash Type), as if to check out its movable ver. A.N.I.M.E.. He was also delighted with the thumbs up pose on the right wrist.

The plan I had at that time was to hide the fact that I was Ultraman. But by the time I get the hang of it, my friends will probably say, "Your father, Ultraman, right?", So when asked, "This time has finally come." My ideal was to take out the clothes and say, "Actually, I kept it a secret, but my dad was Ultraman."
Then, a few years later, I got married and actually had my eldest son, but I just couldn't stand it, and in the end I showed "Dyna" in the second half of my life. But it looks different than it is now, so even if I said "Daddy was Ultraman", he couldn't believe me ... (laughs).
However, "large battle that after a few years! Let me out to the ultra-8 Ultra Brothers ", I went to see with his son was at that time kindergarten children, it up to me to finally convinced that it was skeptical. If it had not been there, I think not to have me still believe (laughs).

- I had a starring the Kai (laughs).

TsurunoMy eyes have changed, and I've come to brag to the people around me that "my dad is Ultraman" ... I'm really glad I did that (laughs).

■ I collected the "SAINT CLOTH MYTH" series and decorated the plastic models of First Gundam and Dekotora.

- So, please tell us your impressions of the Dinah "ULTRA-ACT" series.

▲ bite to Gomorrah, excited to effect parts of the accessory and that tail is joint mobility.

- What figures do you like you originally?

TsurunoI love figures and plastic models, and until a few years ago, I collected the old "Saint Cloth Grand System" and "SAINT CLOTH MYTH" series of "SAINT SEIYA", and decorated the plastic models of First Gundam and Dekotora. It was. Everything was destroyed by my son (laughs). But my son is old enough to understand, and all the girls underneath are girls, so I think it's time to collect them again (laughs).

▲ word Street "I have is much touch", Tsuruno who between moment did not let go of the figure of the interview. Also from the facial expression, suggesting love to figure.

- Toys aired at the time of "Dinah" is?

TsurunoBought all, I keep it in a safe place at home. At the same, in Lee Flasher my own, which was used in the movie, usually you have to keep it in the house of safe (laughs). I'm Some spring that it is put away leave may become loose, recently Nde get to care in every movie, I am grateful. Color also been repainted, then you or come back getting a little cool (laughs).

- So in the end, you have a message to the fans.

TsurunoThe last "Great Battle! The action of "Ultra Ultra 8 Brothers" was difficult, and I couldn't say "please watch" with confidence (laughs), but I want everyone to watch "Saga" anyway. .. It's not like "Ultraman, so it's for kids", so you can enjoy it even if you go to see it alone, and I think it's a work that makes you realize that you have to take care of it now.
At the same, "ULTRA-ACT" Dinah because apparently be released before the release of the movie, it should be added to the hands before here also sold out (laughs).
