"There has been much talk going around about the new and exciting TV drama Inuyasha, which will start airing in 8 weeks on channel X! My guests tonight are the actors of the drama, so please welcome Yamaguchi Mitsuo, Yukino Satsuki, Narita Ken aaand Morikawa Toshiyuki!"

The audience clapped as Satsuki walked onto the stage with the others. She nervously straightened her stylish dress as she sank onto the comfortable couch, ending up sitting between Mitsuo and Ken.

"Welcome, everyone! It's great to have you in our show!"

"Thank you," Ken said smoothly.

"It's great to be here," Mitsuo added, grinning.

"Your show has a very interesting cast, tell me what it's like to work with everyone?"

"It's been absolutely fantastic," Mitsuo replied. "We all get along really well."

"I feel everyone in our cast is very talented," Ken intoned.

"It's been a really positive experience," Satsuki breathed, trying her best not to sound as anxious as she felt. "Everyone's been really nice and patient with me, I think this is the best cast for me to be shooting my very first drama with."

"I think from the very start we felt much like a family," Morikawa added.

"Definitely!" Mitsuo spoke quickly. "With Morikawa-san as our father figure!"

"That is true," Satsuki laughed. "Morikawa-san has been really amazing with us youngsters, always ready to give us support and advice."

"It is a great honour to work alongside with such a wonderful actor," Ken said simply.

"Wow, it really seems like you are all very close! Well then, please, everyone.. tell us a little about the characters you play."

"Well, I play the title character, 'Inuyasha'. He is a very interesting and complex character with a troubled past. He is a half-demon, and I really enjoy the challenge of trying to portray both of these two sides of him. He is a really cool character!" Mitsuo grinned.

"I play'Kagome'. She is a really very normal high school girl whose life suddenly turns upside down on her 15th birthday… I think she is really determined but at the same time a gentle character. She's a really good girl and she has a bit of a crush on 'Inuyasha'," Satsuki smiled and glanced at Mitsuo, who grinned back at her with an exaggerated wink.

"My character 'Sesshoumaru' is the full-blooded older brother of 'Inuyasha'. I feel he is a very mysterious character in that he really does not allow others to see past the surface. He is an interesting character; even though he is somewhat of an antagonist in the show in the beginning, his role in the story evolves further along."

"I play 'Naraku' who is the main antagonist of the drama like his name implies. He is a very twisted and evil person who is hungry for power and I really enjoy playing such a role. It is not often I have been cast as a villain so I feel it is a good chance for me to branch out my skills and try my limits as an actor," Morikawa said.

"It sounds great! I'm sure we all will be eagerly waiting for these eight long weeks to fly by so that we can finally see this much anticipated TV drama! Unfortunately we are out of time. Thank you, for coming here tonight! Everyone, here are from 'Inuyasha', Yamaguchi Mitsuo, Yukino Satsuki, Narita Ken and Morikawa Toshiyuki!"

The audience applauded and the smile rose easily to Satsuki's face as she waved to all the clapping people alongside with the others.
