My Take
I love that Daigo Matsui refuses to pick a lane — he writes scripts, directs films, runs a theater company, and stages plays, like one guy quietly doing the work of four. There's something I find disarming about a Keio grad from Fukuoka whose stuff doesn't feel polished or aloof at all; instead it scoops up the dumb, raw, sweaty feelings of being young and not quite knowing yourself, and just lets them sit there honestly. He's a Scorpio, and yeah, I get that vibe — calm on the surface but with a stubborn streak of obsession underneath, the kind that needs to keep making things. At 164cm he's not towering over anyone, but bouncing between stage and screen like that takes a greedy, restless appetite for telling stories, and honestly that's exactly the kind of artist I root for.
