This has been a busy year for Tasuku Emoto. Long accustomed to appearing in colorful supporting roles, the 31-year-old actor has found himself starring in three films in 2018.
After playing real-life porn entrepreneur Akira Suei in ¡°Dynamite Graffiti¡± and the slacker protagonist of ¡°And Your Bird Can Sing,¡± this month he can be seen as two different characters in the Japanese-Portuguese co-production ¡°Lovers on Borders.¡±
¡°It felt like shooting two separate films at the same time,¡± he says, speaking to The Japan Times during the Tokyo International Film Festival. In the movie, written and directed by Atsushi Funahashi, Emoto plays a Japanese servant brought to Portugal after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and a corporate executive overseeing factory layoffs in a near-future Japan.
