Terada revealed his feelings, saying, "I've visited Shirakawa many times, and it's like a second home to me. I'm happy to be able to come back again."
He also said, "The more I read the script, the more I realized that Matsudaira Sadanobu is a stubborn man who appears skillful but is actually clumsy.At first I thought he was a calm and dispassionate person, but I did my best to portray him as someone who shows intense emotions when it comes to things he cannot bend to."He added, "I would be happy if everyone was able to understand the character of Kenmaru, the character I played, as a strong person who does not bend in his beliefs."
On this day, Inoue Yuki, who plays Matsudaira Sadanobu, also appeared and talked with Terada about the highlights of the drama and behind-the-scenes stories.
