■ “The staff and cast were very accommodating and helped me concentrate on the role, so I’m really grateful.” (Raul)
Footage from the wrap-up of film “Akabane Honeko’s Bodyguard,” which will be released on August 2nd, has been released.
Starring Raul (Snow Man), this film is the ultimate “protected” school action entertainment based on the manga of the same name by Masamitsu Tanzuki, which is currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine (Kodansha).
In the newly released footage, Raul, who plays Ibuki Arakuni, spoke of his passion for this production as the leader, saying, “I have a lot of fond memories, so I often get anxious on set, but the staff and cast members really helped me calm down and I was able to concentrate, so I’m really grateful. I’ll do everything I can to make this a hit and share everyone’s efforts with as many people as possible!”
Deguchi Natsuki, who plays Akabane Kotetsu, said, “I was sad that I couldn’t film with my classmates, but I’m really looking forward to the finished product!”, expressing her anticipation for the action scenes of the classmates protecting Kotetsu. Meanwhile, Okudaira Daiken, who plays the film’s production captain, Somejima Sumihiko, spoke of his joy at being involved in such an unprecedented production, saying, “It was a really fun set where I experienced a lot of new feelings.”
Takahashi Hikaru (the official spelling of “Taka” is with a はしごだか) who played the role of Igoya Yasushi, expressed her enthusiasm for the promotion, saying, “I can’t wait for the finished product. I’d like to do my best to make it a success!”
The video shows the cast expressing their joy at being able to take part in the film, saying things like, “It’s been a while since I’ve been involved in such a unique production, so it was fun” (Kura Yuki/Itobumi Chuya), and “I’m really looking forward to this production, getting to spend time with such interesting and unique characters” (Yamamoto Chihiro/Higurashi Yamiki), as well as showing their harmonious relationships during filming.
The video also includes a scene where Tozuka Junki (playing Jinrai Fuuta) jokingly tells Sakaguchi Ryotaro (playing Chisaka Tokinori) who has brought him a bouquet of flowers, “I like Deguchi-san.”
Additionally, behind-the-scenes photos of Raul expressing his happy memories with his body at the end of filming were also released.
Furthermore, from June 14th, Mubichike cards and Mubichike advance tickets (online) for this film will be on sale at the box office of the cinema (excluding some cinemas) and online.
