■ “The voice I had imagined for the final monologue was the closest to Shogenji’s voice.” (Director Kazuyoshi Kumakiri)
Stills have been released from the film “Zenbu of Tokyo” (released nationwide on October 25th), which stars all of Hinatazaka46’s fourth-generation members, showcasing the charm of Yoko Shogenji, who is making her first film appearance and first leading role.
The story is set in Tokyo, a place visited on a school trip. Ikezono Yurika (Yoko Shogenji) is the leader of the same group as Kirii Chisa (Rina Watanabe), Hagawa Megumi (Kaho Fujishima), Setta Shiori (Yoki Ishizuka), and Masutani Ayano (Nana Konishi). Ikezono was looking forward to the school trip, planning her schedule down to the minute, wanting to enjoy everything in the big city she had always dreamed of. Just when she thought the long-awaited school trip was going according to plan, everyone was separated. She decided to travel around Tokyo by herself to enjoy it to the fullest, but she began to realize that something was missing.
The stills released this time capture a wide range of expressions, including Ikezono’s excited look and his shocked expression as he stands there in shock at having everyone disappear.
Shogenji was chosen as the center for the 11th single “You are Honeydew” despite being a fourth-generation member. In the 12th single “Zettai Dairokukan”, he was the double center with fellow fourth-generation member Fujishima. His performance of working hard while being supported by those around him continues to fascinate people.
This is Shogenji’s first film appearance and first leading role, and he delivers such a confident performance that it’s hard to believe it’s his first time. Director Kumakiri said, “The way he looks straight at people even when he’s talking to them, that power in his eyes really made an impression on me,” and the strength that comes with being pure is apparent in his acting.
Director Kumakiri also spoke about the reason he chose him for the lead role, saying, “The atmosphere of his voice was a perfect match for the lead character, Ikezono. In particular, the final monologue was the closest to the voice I had imagined. I also thought that his slightly boyish nature was perfect for the lead character of this film.”
In addition, it has been decided that advance tickets for this film will also be sold as MovieTickets.
The movie ticket advance sale ticket is a card with a design featuring the lead actor, Genji Shogen, taking a selfie in the middle of Shibuya. As a bonus, a special postcard featuring the main visual of the 11 fourth-generation members released the other day will be included. Tickets will go on sale at the theater from September 20th.
