Last Samurai Standing is unique, but it also has these elements of very popular Japanese films and TV shows, like Battle Royale, Shōgun and Alice in Borderland, were you inspired by these other projects?
The easiest way to describe Last Samurai Standing to the global audience, and for them to have a better understanding of our show, is that it is kind of like a mixture of Squid Games and Shōgun. But we’re actually adding more historical elements, and also because it’s a period drama, we’re going to be portraying and focusing on the livelihoods of these characters, their lives or situations, incorporating elements like fireworks, the artist Hokusai, the kagura dance, elements of faith too. Those are the ideas that we are incorporating in our imagery and we really wanted to give more to the storytelling element. We wanted to show more of the characters and we wanted to emphasize the culture of Japan, too. And because this is a Japanese period piece, we wanted to update that genre to introduce it globally.
