Lieutenant Shunsaku Aoshima, Chief of the Compulsive Offenders Section, Criminal Division, Wangan Police Station. When the TV drama began airing in 1997, he had been promoted to the rank of police sergeant and was in for a turbulent time. Since then, Oda said, “This work had great potential, and I dreamed of making it into a movie someday.”
That dream soon came true, and in 1998, the film “Odoru Daisakusen THE MOVIE: The Worst Three Days in the History of Wangan Police Station!” became an unprecedented hit, attracting 7 million viewers and making 10.1 billion yen at the box office. Although he had achieved his goal, he said, “I felt a little sad when I said goodbye to everyone … I jokingly said, “I hope we can do it again in five year.” That’s when I really decided to do the second part… I decided to do it, but I didn’t want to ruin what I had done by doing it again, so I felt I had a lot of pressure on my shoulders,” he recalls.
He said that he realized that this movie would end randomly during the movie, but he said, “More than anything, it’s the drama that’s right in front of me that I have to flip the switch. too nostalgic,” he says, with a serious attitude that reminds me of Aoshima. Still, the end of “Actually, after “Odoru Daisansen THE MOVIE 3: Free Them!”, there was “ I have an Aoshima coat at my house, but I didn’t get to wear it, usually (lol). I kept it there, but I don’t think I’ll wear it for any other role, and I won’t I’m running around Odaiba wearing it Talk with a lonely tone also very typical of Aoshima.
● This is the basic position of Qingdao
There are developments that can be enjoyed not only by fans of the drama series but also by dance beginners. The message that Aoshima is trying to convey is consistent from start to finish and never stops. In the final episode of the drama series, Aoshima is assigned to the Regional Division of the Nerima Police Station and now works at the Sakura Police Box. “A boy comes to pick up a 100 yen coin to deliver it, and he takes 100 yen out of his wallet and gives it to the kid along with a piece of paper that says, “If you do the right thing, he’ll get good things .”They say things like “measures” that I don’t understand (lol), but I think this phrase sums it up, and I think it’s the essence of Aoshima.”
For the past 15 years, Aoshima has been working hard just to do the right thing. He has no desire to get ahead, he always puts the safety of the citizens first, and he never compromises his faith no matter what situation he is in. Despite this, he is said to be the most troubled child in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Why? I think this is because too many police officers have forgotten their original intentions when they became police officers.
Director Katsuyuki Motohiro, who helmed the film, added Aoshima’s unscripted speech to the climax scene. Oda said, “I think what “Odori” wanted to say and Aoshima’s message was easier to understand through that speech 15 years later, Aoshima, Muroi and Kazuhisa finally made it to the finals I wanted to do it. There will be many problems because it is only the beginning, but I am sure that I have begun to look forward to new hope.”
● The Japanese film industry is like my hometown, and I don’t want it to go away.
When Oda made his debut on the silver screen, it was the peak of Western cinema and the Japanese film industry was in decline. Oda, who recalls, “There were so many Japanese films I wanted to see,” seems to have felt a sense of humiliation. That’s why he says, “The Japanese film industry is the origin of my birth, or rather, it’s like my hometown, I don’t want it to go away, and I don’t want it to it would become like the traditional performing arts. However, I cannot rest on my laurels. he had a deep love for Japanese movies.

Editor: Let’s start with the premise of “Odoru Daisakusen.” The series, along with its movie adaptations, has captivated audiences with its unique storyline involving detectives, crime, and even elements of dance. What do you think sets this drama apart from typical police procedurals?
Professor Tanaka: That’s a wonderful question. “Odoru Daisakusen” effectively blends humor, drama, and a sense of sincerity in its portrayal of the police force. Unlike many other police series that focus solely on the grim realities of crime, this show adds layers of humanity through its central character, Lieutenant Shunsaku Aoshima. His quirky persona, coupled with heartfelt moments, creates a relatable narrative that resonates with the audience.
Editor: Aoshima’s character is indeed a standout. As we see in the recent developments within both the series and its cinematic adaptations, he embodies a strong moral compass. Can you discuss how Aoshima’s values influence the overall message of the show?
Professor Tanaka: Aoshima’s unwavering commitment to doing what is right is pivotal. He doesn’t seek glory or promotion; rather, his focus is on serving the community and ensuring the safety of its citizens. His character arc, which shows growth while maintaining his core beliefs, underscores a significant message: that personal integrity and dedication to duty can lead to positive societal impact. This speaks volumes in today’s world, where many people are searching for genuine role models.
Editor: In the latest storyline, you noted the rise in tension with a series of kidnappings and murders during a high-profile summit. How does the series tackle such serious themes while maintaining its comedic elements?
Professor Tanaka: The contrast between the light-hearted moments and serious events creates a unique narrative balance. It reflects the duality of life where humor often coexists with tragedy. By placing a comedic character in dire situations, the show alleviates tension and allows viewers to engage with potentially distressing content in a more digestible way. This blend of comedy and crime is part of why it remains engaging for a wide audience.

Professor Tanaka: The switch to the big screen allowed for deeper storytelling and broader character development, which were well-received. The original audience had already formed a strong attachment to Aoshima and the supporting cast, so seeing them in a cinematic context provided both nostalgia and fresh excitement. Moreover, the film’s production quality often surpasses that of television, drawing in viewers who appreciate cinematic experiences. The box office success, as a result, is no surprise.
Editor: As we look to the future, do you think there is potential for more adaptations or sequels in the “Odoru Daisakusen” franchise, given its legacy?
Professor Tanaka: Absolutely. The ongoing appreciation for nostalgia in modern media suggests that audiences would welcome further adaptations. The characters, particularly Aoshima, have become cultural icons in Japan. A sequel or a new storyline exploring contemporary issues could bridge the gap between past and present, making it relevant for both old fans and new viewers. The key would be to stay true to the original spirit while evolving the narrative.
