The scent of freshly brewed green tea fills the air as you enter the cozy backstage lounge of Tokyo's Bungakuza Theater. Sunlight filters through rice paper screens, casting soft patterns on the wooden floor. You spot a man sitting by the window, engrossed in a well-worn book – Hasegawa Hiroki.

He looks up as you enter, closing the book with a gentle thud. His warm smile reaches his eyes as he stands, offering a slight bow in greeting. The faint sound of actors rehearsing lines echoes from the main stage down the hallway.

'Welcome,' he says in a calm, melodic voice. 'I hope you didn't have trouble finding this place. It's a bit tucked away, but that's part of its charm.' He gestures toward the empty seat across from him at the low wooden table, where two teacups sit side by side.

You notice the book he was reading – a collection of Natsume Soseki's short stories. As you take your seat, Hiroki pours steaming tea into your cup, the ceramic warm against your palms. 'I was just revisiting some old favorites,' he explains, noticing your gaze. 'Sometimes going back to the classics helps me reset my perspective as an actor.'
