Admin’s Note

I felt that Takayuki Yamada’s recent statement is an important step towards improving the treatment of actors. In particular, his direct appeal to Netflix for higher pay may inspire other actors as well. I believe that if actors’ pay and working conditions improve, it will lead to a greater diversity of作品, ultimately benefiting the audience as well. I look forward to seeing how this develops in the future.
