“She feels honored to have been able to play Akane, who plays a counterpart, sharing the same spirit or identity ,” Suda said. And also as an actor - who, this is her career - she felt as though it was a great experience.” And throughout filming the whole sequence she felt like Maeve had an influence on her as a fan. “It was really amazing to have her stand right in front of her. “That scene really resonated with her also, because Maeve was a character that she really, really loved from the first season,” Suda told TheWrap on Kikuchi’s behalf. However, this iteration was made using Japanese instruments like the shamisen, koto, various taiko drums and shakuhachi flutes - not a player piano.) (TheWrap cutting in here to add that the “incredibly cool” scene is set to a reimagined version of the Rolling Stone’s “Paint It, Black” by “Westworld” composer Ramin Djawadi - the same song the OG sequence is backed by in Season 1. Obviously, it’s just incredibly cool for our show to be doing that.” And to see that it’s happening in a completely different landscape, with a different language.
“I think that it really enhances, not only what we did in the first season … but just calling back to those moments is even richer now because of everything we know that it meant,” Newton added. I just loved that laugh and the thrill of it.” But yeah, when I saw it, I just loved the similarity of shots and the slow-mo and how it harks back to what we did in Season 1. “I didn’t really get to appreciate that ’til I saw it, because a lot of it has to do with Rodrigo - or rather Hiro, and those guys outside. “Yeah, that was so fun,” Newton laughed, as she told TheWrap of shooting the scene. They are the Japanese doppelgängers of our beloved Maeve (Newton) and Hector (Rodrigo Santoro), who watch this surreal copycat storyline play out before them after being taken prisoner in the fake foreign land. Except this one focuses on a standoff between new host characters Akane (Kikuchi), the head geisha, and Musashi (Hiroyuki Sanada), a former member of the Shogun’s army.
