■”It’s a little embarrassing because it feels like someone is looking at me without makeup.” (Kento Nakajima)
Scene photos of Riku Kanbayashi, played by Kento Nakajima, have been released from the latest theatrical release of director Takahiro Miki’s “Shiraishira Kanojo” (released on February 28, 2025), starring Kento Nakajima and making his first appearance in a Milet movie.
Nakajima plays the role of a man who realized his dream of becoming a novelist and became a popular author, and just when he thought his marriage to the love of his life was going well, he realized that he was neither a novelist nor had met his beloved. A character who gets lost in “another world” and is at the mercy of God’s mischief. This is a work by director Miki, who Nakajima himself has always admired, and is taking on the challenge of a fantasy love story.
Director Miki envisioned his role as “an adult Nobita,” and “I wanted to see the human-like Kento Nakajima that everyone hasn’t seen yet.” He empathizes with the portrayal of a young man who, after a strange encounter, experiences a sudden change in his environment and grows up despite being confused and struggling.
The scene photos that have been released this time include Minami Maezono (milet), whom she fell in love with at first sight during her university days, and her expression of falling in love with Minami Maezono, her face of confusion as the world changes and she loses everything, and a scene of her falling in love with Minami Maezono (milet); The scene captures Riku’s confused yet loving expression when they talk alone for the first time during the interview.
Nakajima, who watched the finished version, commented, “It’s a little embarrassing because it feels like someone is looking at me without makeup.I’ll show you all of me once, and I’m like, how do you like it?” Director Miki also looks back and says, “For the audience to empathize with Riku and share the same feelings with him, Kento stepped up a notch or two.” He is showcasing a new frontier with his acting.
Please pay attention to the movie “Unknown Girlfriend,” which features Riku’s ever-changing facial expressions.
