In the end credits, the guardhouse and treatment room, which are also places of relaxation at St. Magokoro Hospital where Yoko, Kyo and the other doctors talk to each other, play around and overcome many difficulties, are transformed into a dance hall bathed in the light of a mirror ball. With Southern All Stars playing, the curtain rises on an amazing dance show performed by the entire cast.

When filming wrapped up on the same day, the main cast was all present, and along with applause and cherry blossom petals falling, the staff shouted “We’re all done!”, ringing out throughout the studio. On behalf of the cast, the co-stars Koike and Nakano gave words of gratitude to the production team and their co-stars.
Nakano raised his fist and a bouquet of flowers high and said, “I’m so glad I’m finally able to meet you all face to face like this and express my gratitude to you all in person! Thank you so much for your hard work. The filming was so intense that it was worthy of the name Shinjuku Field Hospital, but I’m full of gratitude.” He looked around and expressed his gratitude to everyone, saying, “Having the opportunity to play the lead role in a drama written by Kudo Kankuro is a dream and treasure of my acting career.”
Koike, who played Yoko Nishi Freeman, the symbol of the drama “Shinjuku Field Hospital”, said, “I really feel that I was blessed with a wonderful team. Speaking English and the Okayama dialect was difficult, but the team supported me and I was able to see many wonderful sights with everyone. I also met Yoko Nishi Freeman, and she taught me strength, and I learned that I want to be a person who treats everyone equally, like everyone in “Magokoro”. “Looking back on the work through her role, she said, “It was so much fun!” and warmed the hearts of everyone in the studio in her familiar Okayama dialect. And at the end, she said, “Please make a sequel. I’ll come back even worse at Japanese!” with tears in her eyes, and concluded the filming with a big smile that is typical of Koike.
