Taken from Tomoya's interview in TV GUIDE, released on March 4,98

After I finished the drama (Days), I want to do a lot of things.
Eventhough there are some sad scenes, with the six young actors/actresses as main characters, the shooting location is always lively.
"Everybody can get along well and we enjoy a lot. Before this drama, I have ever acted together with Kaneko-kun, and both of us love old clothes.
We even exchange with each other some vintage clothes that we have."
We found a guitar case in the room where the interview took place! "I always bring a guitar wherever I go. So if I have spare time during shooting, I`ll play with it. Besides playing all kinds of songs, I also compose new songs by myself too". Soon the new album will be released and it will include songs which are composed by each member. Of course it will also include Nagase`s own song which he composed using that guitar he never parts with. And this is what he wants to do next. "I want to do surfing. But now it is still too cold. (laugh)". It is not land surfer, but I love the way surfing is done under the hot sun, I want to do it as much as I can" "In fact I do not only want to surf, but also do a lot of other things. Now, it is spring, a very good season, so in the meantime I want to do touring by bike. It`s not that I want to go to a special place....maybe it is better to go to a near place. If I go to a very far place, I`ll feel that is too bothersome to go back (laugh)." It looks like that his broad interests and wishes will be realized. While he is spreading his wings so widely, let us pray for him so that he won`t fail...... END
