In commemoration of the release of "ULTRA-ACT Ultraseven" and "ULTRA-ACT ELEKING", we have a special interview with Dan Moroboshi = Koji Moritsugu! We visited Mr. Moritsugu's shop "Jolly Chapeau" in Fujisawa to hear about his memories of the broadcast of "Ultraseven" and his impressions of "ULTRA-ACT"!
Seven, which has continued to fight with the evil, play with ACT! ?

■ ELEKING, Alien Metron, KING JOE!

──Which aliens and monsters in "Ultraseven" left an impression on you?

Forest nextELEKING is a very impressive monster. At that time, there was no CG yet, so it was called the screen process, and I would stand in front of the images projected on the screen and act. Actually, the first shooting was from the episode of ELEKING. I entered from "Secret of the Lake". It's episode 3 on air, but the history of "Ultraseven" started here, so it left a deep impression on me.
Alien Metron is after. Across the Table in you remember Nde there was your play. Because doing with special effects and a completely different location shooting of the story, I since have begun play still does not recognize that what kind of monster. It was also shooting decided the eyes with a red cloth to the bamboo pole, because we take the only play of this cut back, I'm not sure if fighting with any monster and alien to completion. That amount, but I was also surprised at the time of completion. Since the special effects and the main part of the director is a neat meeting, I part was fun to lead. Alien Metron times also is dilapidated apartment and a miniature of the streets of Kawasaki will be surprised have led to clean.
Also, KING JOE has a strong impression. I remember that because I went to Kobe on location.
Now I do she can anything with CG, around shooting has all the green back, because exactly the image does not boil, it has a tough thing from reverse to the actor's position because CG. What scenes have taken the only Tteyuu green back also is, I there is still lonely.

■ Memories of "Ultraseven"

── Speaking of that remains in the memory by the time the broadcast?

Forest nextIn the days of Ultraseven, it was a tough year. I don't have many days off, and since I've been living in Fujisawa since then, I get on the first train at 5:00 in the morning and come back at 11:00 at night. So the next day, I got on the 5 o'clock train again and repeated it. We gather at the Toho Art Center and go into the mountains around the Fuji Five Lakes to take pictures. Every day from morning until night, it was hard to fight monsters that were not in front of me.

Ultra Guard pointer, we have a case that does not work because they made by Buttagi' old and of Chrysler. Since I did not have a license at the time, and press the cut car with everyone that I get off, I was taken in the form of a come down stepping only brake. Since quite a pointer of the scene of the shooting were many, it seems was the cry staff.
The we actor team was cry, was also anything that personnel clothing. Summer hot and cold winter. Despite the coolness of the look, it was painful clothes. You also can not cover up the bottom because the body of the line comes out.
But I would do it was easier if there is something like a like a "heat-Tech" now. Is the groin become the most care. Because it was fit to material, we stopped to leave and the right, would out silhouette Nante was shifted to the left (laughs). A girdle for the woman had to face the shooting in a state in which the Pichi' wearing down from helped.

── exactly it I was fighting with Ting himself.

Forest nextAfter all, the 24-year-old it was one year that Tsuppashi' to hell-bent. Do it this for a year, it was the idea of ​​wonder if next comes into view. I because it is the role of the alien However, I it was troubled because not a human role. Because I did not see even imagine playing the alien.
If Dashikire all all those that have had earnestly Tsuppashi' I think I think we get used to Moroboshi Dunn.

■ makeover trick is duct tape! ?

── Do you have as a result of careful on who plays Dan is an alien?

Forest nextEye on that acting was very conscious. Or transformed in the Ultra eye, it is or glowing blue eyes clairvoyant, Dan I thought that eyes because it is impressive, the point of acting is also in the eye.
The Toka Hayata be easy in one cut, transformation is (laughs). I'm wearing out the Ultra eye, it is then changed to go cut of 2 cut because it is necessary. So, or to stick to put the duct tape on the inside, it is also hard to stick the Ultra eye. That if there is a trick in it, becomes NG and props Mr. or stuck at an angle that it Heta. Then it is also painful to peel off. But it should CG is developed, we take doing still so. To everyone one-cut, in my only two cuts, I was told to complain about me, "cunning it" is also the time of the movie (laughs).

── Speaking of "Seven", was a big attraction also of Dan and Anne love.

Forest nextThere are many fans who appreciate the love story part of "Seven", but that was Anne's faint love for Dan. I'm an alien, so it's taboo to fall in love with an earthling. It would be strange if Dan looked at Anne with strangely sexy eyes. However, although Dan is an alien, he has a more human side than a human being, and I think there were many viewers who resonated with that. Dan is a borrowed figure and the main body is Ultraseven.
However, I didn't expect that Dan, who was supposed to be a borrowed figure, would continue to perform after about 45 years. You may wonder why it is still so popular. It's pervasive even in today's small children. Before I knew it, I even had a son who was ULTRAMAN ZERO (laughs).
So I know grew up staff to look at the "Ultra" also go to the other site. Recording both also director camera ne me glad I "meet it!". The other day also finished the shooting of "buddy", Mizutani (Yutaka) Mr. came closer, I was told to thank say "Thank you very much. The staff was not pleased everyone." I wonder if I came to pleasing staff, also or thought Nante to (laughs).

■ drama there is a discovery every time you look back

── Do you think What is the reason that unabated popularity of "Seven" is also over time?

Forest nextIt's special effects were used drama, after all I think that any reason for that has been made a Kichitto the drama depicting the human beings continue to be supported by this. I think that it has even or scared there is also difficult part to understand when seen in the childhood, because being aware of the social message when looking back is kana charm of.
When I looked back on the rebroadcast, there was a depth that I could rediscover. The staff did not feel as if they were just making a children's program. I think I was writing a drama that is often completed in 30 minutes. It was great also the power of the playwright, staff also cast, to worked hard trying to make everyone good drama, yen it because's valley father (Eiji) had on the lookout.

── your impressions of this time try to touch the "ULTRA-ACT" would you like?

Forest nextI was surprised that ELEKING in ULTRA-ACT was small but elaborately made. I was surprised when I picked it up because it was heavy. Seven's arms and legs are all movable, and although it's small, it's got a solid feel to it. You can take various poses, so I think you can have a lot of fun by changing the pose according to your mood.
In the old days, the toys of "Ultra" were sofubi, and they seemed to be popular, but "ULTRA-ACT" has a much more advanced technology. I think fans will be able to enjoy this Seven as well. There are various parts, ELEKING can emit light from its mouth (note: the product reproduces the continuous discharge of discharge light with one part), and Ice Slugger can be removed properly. It feels like there is a lot of fun packed into such a small body.

── Do you enjoy the kind of play in if Moritsugi's "ULTRA-ACT"?

Forest nextAfter all I want to decorate with a pose to fly the ice rugger. It's a pose with the unique charm of Seven. After all, "Ultra" is handmade and started from the world of piano wire. The Ice Lager was flying, and the Ultra Hawk was separating and uniting all with the piano wire. It's a great technology. That's the origin of Tsuburaya Productions. That's why I think these toys that you can touch with your hands are very good.
