■Kento Nagao comment
When I saw the title, I wondered what kind of situation it would be like to cry because it was so delicious, but when I read the script, it turned out to be a really wonderful story. It’s interesting to see people with all kinds of worries and feelings appear, and how everyone’s feelings come together to reach a climax, and above all, it’s a warm work. The director and other staff members were all kind people, and we were able to film on set with compassion and love.
I learned a lot from receiving this offer. I think there are many things that the audience will realize through the work, and I hope that there will be something that connects with them in the future. I would like many people to see it.■Ami Toma comment
I was very happy to be able to be involved in such a work, where when we act with someone in mind, we gradually become part of that person’s home, and that connection returns to us. Thanks to Mr. Nagao, all the wonderful actors, and the warm staff, I think I was able to play Yuuka with care and ease, one by one. I would like you to see the feeling of caring for someone and the warm happiness that that feeling brings in theaters.
