Have the motion capture artists ever been credited? Do we know if the same person portrays the same character every time?
I don't think they're credited in game but I did manage to find them a few months ago. All the mocap is done by a company called Solid Cube. They post the mocap artists for each MV on their twitter account, but don't say who played who so I've only been able to work out the mocap artists for a few characters.
Rui is always played by an actor called Masaki Murakami. The only reason I was able to work this out is because Murakami is the only male mocap artist credited on the Sukina Koto Dake no Ii desu MV, and is credited on almost every other WxS MVs but only ones that feature Rui (Oki ni Mesu mama being the only exception I could find. Maybe he was sick that day). Murakami also seems to be the mocap artist for KAITO aside from MVs that have Rui in them, and sometimes for either Akito or Toya (no way to tell which one).
I think Kohane is played by an actress called Maimi Atarashi. She did a stream with Akina back in 2022 where they talked about 3DMVs. Also she's credited on Wah Wah World and the unit rep songs and she is credited on almost every MMJ MV but based on the fact she's credited for Romeo to Cinderella she's not the actress for Minori. I think she's also the actress for Emu, since she's credited on a shitload of WxS MVs including Sukina Koto Dake no Ii desu, alongside an actress that I'm like 99% sure is the primary actress for female vsingers.
I also think that someone called Jakko is the regular mocap artist for female vsingers, and she's the mocap artist for Blue Planet so this holds some weight. Jakko also did the mocap for Luka's Afterglow MV. Jakko is credited on an assortment of other 3DMVs as well, like Children Record (I'm assuming she plays An) and Tondemo-Wonderz (likely as Emu, considering Maimi Atarashi isn't credited)
Len seems to be played by an actor called Keito Okuyama. He did the mocap for Buta ni Natte yeah yeah and is credited on various other Len MVs, like Flyer! and Watashi wa Watashitachi wa (which he definitely has to be Len in). This guy is also credited on quite a few WxS 3DMVs, so it's safe to say he's the regular mocap artist for Tsukasa (in instances of Len and Tsukasa being in the same 3DMV, I'm not sure which one gets swapped out).
Due to Leo/need playing instruments, they have mocap actors who can play the instruments. One of these is actors is called Moe Hirakawa (not entirely sure if that's the right reading of Kanji) who upon looking her up turned out to be a drummer, so there's Honami. The others that are most frequently credited are Hiyu Tsukigami (who is apparently an idol but I couldn't find anything about her playing instruments), chloe (basically impossible to google), and Reika Kisumi who is actually an actress under Solid Cube. I believe Kisumi is the mocap artist for Ichika, since she's credited on the unit leader songs as well.
Also we can work out Kanade based on some cast lists for Colorful Lives. The credits for SEKAI list Keito Okuyama (Tsukasa), Jakko (Miku), Reika Kisumi (Ichika) and another actress called Kanon Ookawa. Ookawa is also credited for multiple Niigo songs, including the Kanade/Mafuyu/Miku cover of Cutlery, so yeah she's Kanade. For lives at least. Journey 3DMV credits someone named Yukari instead, but Journey live credits Ookawa again. More recent 3DMVs don't credit either of these people just to make my life harder.
Continuing with Colorful Live credits, Wah Wah World lists an actress called Yuuka Nakanishi alongside Jakko and Maimi Atarashi, so we can assume that Nakanishi is Minori. She's also credited for multiple MMJ 3DMVs, so it's incredibly likely.
That Yukari person I mentioned is also credited on a lot of MMJ 3DMVs and live choreo. I think she might be Shizuku. Sometimes Ookawa and Yukari are credited alongside each other in Niigo MVs/lives, and in those instances I'm not sure who is playing Kanade and who's playing Mafuyu.
I worked out some other stuff but this is long so just check under the cut for a speculative cast list.
Speculated cast list based on my findings (**not confirmed at all**)
(some have multiple actors as I've mentioned, I just listed the most frequent ones)
Miku: Jakko & various (3DMVs done by Jakko)
Rin: Jakko & various (her 3DMV was done by Maimi Atarashi)
Len: Keito Okuyama (definite)
Luka: varies (her 3DMV was done by Jakko)
MEIKO: Jakko & various (her 3DMV was done by Maimi Atarashi)
KAITO: Masaki Murakami & a few others (definite)
Ichika: Reika Kisumi
Saki: Hiyu Tsukigami
Honami: Moe Hirakawa (definite)
Shiho: chloe (definite)
Minori: Yuuka Nakanishi (definite)
Haruka: Akari
Airi: Maimi Atarashi
Shizuku: Kanon Ookawa & Yukari (in older 3DMVs and lives), Momoka & various (more recently)
Kohane: Maimi Atarashi (definite)
An: Mari Kasuga & various
Akito: Either Keito Okuyama or Masaki Murakami (both occasionally swapped for TACCHI)
Toya: see above
Tsukasa: Keito Okuyama (definite)
Emu: Maimi Atarashi
Nene: Akari & various
Rui: Masaki Murakami (definite)
Kanade: See Shizuku
Mafuyu: Either Yukari or Kanon Ookawa (older 3DMVs/lives), Suzuka & various (more recently)
Ena: Likely either Yuuka Nakanishi or Reika Kisumi
Mizuki: see above
Niigo MVs are the least consistent with their casts, so it is very hard for me to tell who is playing who, especially when some of the actresses seem to swap roles between MVs.

‘’You should feel grateful for having been able to spend twenty years of your life with such a person. But the proposition that we can look into another person’s heart with perfect clarity strikes me as a fool’s game. I don’t care how well we think we should understand them, or how much we love them. All it can do is cause us pain. Examining your own heart, however, is another matter. I think it’s possible to see what’s in there if you work hard enough at it. So in the end maybe that’s the challenge: to look inside your own heart as perceptively and seriously as you can, and to make peace with what you find there. If we hope to truly see another person, we have to start by looking within ourselves.”
- Haruki Murakami, Men Without Women, 2014

映画『ドライブ・マイ・カー』(※ラストシーンの解釈について)
twitterより転載
引用元
『ドライブ・マイ・カー』(2021年 日本)
一生拭えない傷を負うこと、自分が見えてなかった(見ようとしてなかった)他者の一面を見つめ直すこと、それを背負って自分を生きるということ😔
そういった辛いけど生きるってこういうことだよねと思うテーマを、リッチな時間と演出で豊かに描いた素晴らしい映画でした🚘
会話の"間"が巧みでした‼️
話し出すまでの間をしっかり使うし、無言でも場の空気感が伝わる演技・演出が素晴らしい👌
構造上、演技をする演技をしているのですが、リアルな生身の人間の移ろいが感じられドキュメンタリーでも観たかのような感覚がありました😦
上映時間長くないとこれはできない💦
後半はずっとハラハラ、ヒリヒリさせられっぱなしでした😣キツイ💦 でも見終わった後、自分も前を向いていられる映画👌
外国人キャスト陣(特に手話の人)は素晴らしかったですが、なんと言っても岡田将生が良い‼️ 彼の不安定でたまにタガが外れる危うさみたいなものが染み出した演技が見事👍

大部分を広島でロケしてるので、広島に住む自分としては不思議な気持ちでした😓
というか、途中彼らが車で通ったとこ、僕んちの超近所でいつも通勤で歩いてるところでしたからね😅
大体場所わかるから、同じシーンを別の場所で撮って繋げてるのもすぐ気づいてしまいます💦

石橋英子による劇伴も素敵で、このサントラは映画と関係なくアルバム単体としてとても良いです👌
ゆったりしたスイングを土台に、メロディはあるけど主張が強すぎず、アンビエント・ミュージック的な一枚として良作🎶
※以下、ラストシーンについての解釈について記載しました。映画の重大なネタバレ部分があります。映画をご覧になった人向けに記載していますので、ご注意ください。
映画のラストシーンで、みさきはコロナ時代の韓国に住んでおり、家福と同じ赤のサーブ900に乗り、車内にはあの韓国人夫婦の飼い犬に似た犬が乗っています。彼女はスーパーで買い物を終えて、これまで見せなかったような明るい顔つきで運転しながら映画は終わりを迎えます。
なぜ彼女は韓国にいるのか?なぜ赤のサーブに乗っているのか?なぜ犬を買っているのか?このラストシーンは明確な説明が無く、文脈から推察すべき場面なので、見る人によって解釈が異なると思いますし、意図的にそのように終わらせているのは間違いないでしょう。みさきは家福と恋愛関係になり一緒に暮らしている、韓国人夫婦と一緒に韓国へ帰国したなどの意見をちらほら見かけたのですが、この映画を2回観たあとの僕の解釈を以下に書き記します(あくまで僕個人が映画を観て理解したエンディングの解釈です)。
おそらく、みさきの母親は韓国人なのです。みさきは自分のルーツである韓国に移住して新しい生活を始めたのだと思います。それを劇中ずっと隠していた��です。
ラストシーンのスーパーでみさきは普通に買い物をして、店員と何の抵抗もなく韓国語でやり取りをしていました。学歴はなく運転で生計を立てていた彼女がいきなり韓国語を喋っているのはなぜか。彼女は韓国語ネイティブなのでしょう。
思い出してほしいのですが、家福と一緒に韓国人夫婦の家で韓国料理を振る舞ってもらったときの場面、夫のコン・ユンスが妻の演劇俳優への応募を家福に黙っていたことを説明するときに「沈黙は金です」と表現するのですが、その時に明らかにみさきの表情が変わります。多分みさきは自分が韓国系であることを隠しているのです。そしてコン・ユンスが「辛い食べ物大丈夫ですか?」と問いかけるときの眼差しから察するに、彼はみさきが韓国の人間であると気づいているのかもしれません。
みさきの母親は韓国人で、日本人の夫と結婚して、みさきを生んだが、夫は離れて母子家庭になってしまった。みさきは韓国人の母親に育てられたので、日本語と韓国語のバイリンガルに育った。韓国人であることから差別を受けたりなどして、北海道の片田舎で不遇な生活を続け、母親は次第にみさきに対して暴力的になった。母親との死別後、みさきは心のわだかまりを持ったまま広島での生活を続けていたが、家福や韓国人夫婦たちとの交流の日々、そして家福たちが完成させ公演した演劇を観たことによって、母親との死別や自分の生き方に折り合いがついて、前を向いて進み始め���自分のルーツである韓国へ移住して暮らすことを選んだ。
あくまで映画を観た僕が行間を読みまくった推測によるストーリーですが、大体こんな展開が背後にあるのではないかと考えました。
みさきにとって家福や韓国人夫婦との日々はとてもかけがえのないものになったので、家福が大切にしていた赤のサーブを韓国でも手に入れ、韓国人夫婦と同じような犬を飼っているのだと思います。
以上が僕の考えた、ラストシーンの解釈とその背景です。いかがでしょうか?とはいえこの場面は明らかに余白を多く残して観る側に解釈を要求してくるような部分ではあるので、いろんな意見があって当然と思いますし、それを語り合うのもこの映画の面白さかもしれません。
何れにせよこの映画は、大きな喪失を背負ったままであっても人との関わりの中で再生する機会を得るという物語であることは間違いないでしょう。最後の最後にハンドルを握ったみさきが見せる表情は明らかに前に進もうとする意思を感じるものであり、自分の道を自分が運転して進む、つまり「Drive my car」という意思を、静かに、しかし力強く示すエンディングであったと思います。

Review: Drive My Car (Hamaguchi, 2021)
"Chekhov is terrifying. When you say his lines, it drags out the real you. Don't you feel it? I can't bear that anymore."
I think it's fair to say Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Drive My Car challenged my notions of what a movie like this could be. I'm almost entirely speaking of its length, which seems to be one of the main descriptors people use when talking about the film (have you heard it's three hours long?). I've seen plenty of long movies in my life, but I'm hard-pressed to come up with any that I've seen that feel so breathtakingly intimate and, what's more, earn every single second of their runtime. In size, Drive My Car is huge; the ideas Hamaguchi is exploring -- grief, sex, companionship, storytelling, art imitating life, life imitating art -- are huge, too; in execution, it's much smaller, choosing to narrow in on only a handful of characters. It plays out like a magic trick.
Drive My Car is a lot of things, but what I was most surprised by is how immediately it proved to be one of the all-time great films about theatre. At least a quarter of the film is spent in a rehearsal room for a multilingual production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. Chekhov might very well deserve a co-writer credit, too, considering how much of the film's climax is in conversation with Vanya. Either way, this film uncannily captures the obsessiveness that can come with making theatre, the brief, explosive relationships that crop up among actors, and the magic of communal storytelling.
As Yusuke Kafuku, the actor and stage director grieving the sudden death of his wife, Hidetoshi Nishijima might just give the best performance of the year. He's the quiet, soulful center of Drive My Car, and it's tempting to say the film wouldn't be as effective without him. So much of his performance sits in silence ("Silence is golden," one character fittingly says), but in Nishijima's deeply sad eyes, the silence is always meaningful. This stoic face is one of the film's greatest assets, too: near the end of the film, he gets to sink his teeth into the kind of emotional monologue that has frequently gotten Oscars for lesser actors, but thanks to Nishijima's richly lived-in performance and the film's patience in establishing who this man is, this outburst feels brutally honest and cathartic.
The supporting cast is exquisite, too: Toko Miura does wonders as Misaki, the stone-faced young woman hired to chauffer Kafuku during the Uncle Vanya rehearsal process; Masaki Okada gives a haunting, complex performance as Takatsuki, a disgraced movie star cast in the show; Reika Kirishima haunts the film long after the opening credits roll (which, of course, comes 40 minutes in); Jin Dae-yeon is a dramaturg after my own heart, with his adorable house and adorable wife and adorable outfits and adorable eyebrows; Park Yoo-rim is magical as Lee Yoon-a, the dramaturg's aforementioned adorable wife and mute actress cast as Sonya in the play. Park is responsible for my favorite scene of the year: her astonishing delivery of Sonya's monologue brings the film to its exquisite climax.
Drive My Car is my favorite film of 2021, and very likely my favorite film of this young decade. It's three hours long and I would have happily watched it for three more. It's movies like this that remind me why I love cinema so much in the first place (and maybe even more miraculously, it reminds me why I love theatre so much). This is what storytelling is about: Hamaguchi and his co-writer Takamasa Oe have taken the words and ideas of Chekhov and Murakami, two writers with a hundred years and thousands of miles between them, and have created something wholly new out of it. The circumstances are amazingly specific and foreign to me -- I've never set foot on Japanese soil -- but it seems to me that some deeply painful universal truths are tucked away inside this little red Saab. I'm so grateful for Drive My Car.

Drive My Car
Drive My Car [trailer]
A renowned stage actor and director learns to cope with his wife's unexpected passing when he receives an offer to direct a production of Uncle Vanya in Hiroshima.
Deeply moving story about grief, loss and feeling guilt. But it surely takes its time to tell it.
Using foreign languages other actors don't understand is one thing. But using sign language adds another level. The final stage scene is very memorable.
That's an interesting way to write scripts and stories.
Even after knowing about the use of foreign language in a play, it was still surprising to briefly hear someone speak schwyzerdütsch.
