Messiah is a stage series depicting the bonds between partners called Messiah, who all belong to the national top secret classified spy organisation "Sakura", and are the only ones allowed to save each other.

The leading parts of this time's stage play as Salyut and Suku, who belong to the spy organisation "Boss Hot" as part of the Northern Alliance, who oppose Sakura.

"Suku is too cool, please hit his face 600 times after this."

"Please draw it as-is!"

It's the first time that two non-Sakura members are the main characters for one of the stage plays, huh?

"There's a pressure behind being the lead, but I want to give it my all and do as much as I can."

"I was surprised since this series is usually about Sakura putting their lives on the line, but now I'm just glad."

In the recently released movie we already got to see a glimpse of the two characters, but how do you two view each other?

"Salyut has strong patriotic feelings. Other than that, I think he just sees Suku coolly as a business partner."

"Suku, who thinks that being together with Salyut is fun, might be more humane and compassionate in comparison."

I constantly wonder about how the relationship between the cool Salyut and the belligerent Suku..!

By the way, what does Sakura seem like to the two of you?

"It's really just an organisation from a different country.. but there's special emotions surrounding Ariga and Itsuki."

"It might be exciting one way or another~"

And finally, please give a message to everyone who will be going to the theatre to see the play!

"It's a production that takes on a lot of new challenges. The passion on the side of the creators is very strong, so please ramp up your imagination and come see it!"

"Even though we're playing the lead parts, I want to stick to being a villain and coolly pass on the baton to the next in line."

I'm really looking forward to it!! Please make sure you don't get hurt, and practice with all you've got!

And a tidbit from the photoshoot..

"Please fold your arms."

"No, seperately.."

"Huh?"

(note: basically they were fold to fold their own arms, but they hooked arms with each other instead, lol)

Yamada James Takeshi-san and Miyagi Koudai-san, thank you very much!
