A special talk between Yo Oizumi and Hokuto Matsumura, who co-starred for the first time in the film “Dear Family”

■A video of a conversation between Oizumi Yo and Kanno Miho, who play a married couple for the first time in “Dear Family,” has also been released!

The movie “Dear Family” will be released on June 14th.

“Dear Family” is based on a true story about a father who runs a local factory and attempts to develop an artificial heart for his daughter, who has been diagnosed with a congenital heart disease.

Oizumi Yo stars in the film, with Kanno Miho playing the wife who supports Tsuboi Norimasa, played by Oizumi, Fukumoto Riko playing the daughter with heart disease, and Kawaei Rina and Arai Miu playing the sisters who support the family.

It has been announced that a video titled “Special Talk Project to Commemorate the Release of the Film ‘Dear Family'” will be released on Toho’s official film YouTube channel and the film’s official website.

In this project, a talk between Oizumi Yo and Kanno Miho, who played a married couple for the first time in this work, and Oizumi Yo and Matsumura Hokuto (SixTONES), who performed together for the first time, was realized. The talk between Oizumi Yo and Kanno Miho will be streamed on June 5th at 8pm, and the talk between Oizumi Yo and Matsumura Hokuto will be streamed on June 12th at 8pm.

Oizumi and Kanno, who have already been exchanging banter like a married couple at press conferences and stage greetings, talked about their impressions of each other, their intentions to work on a production based on a true story, and other serious topics, but the conversation was always filled with laughter, including the life-or-death struggle over the ●● battle that took place during filming, and a variety show that Kanno Miho would like to co-star in.

Oizumi and Matsumura, whose verbal battle at the premiere became a hot topic, are also full of nerdy stories, as Matsumura is a die-hard fan of Oizumi. The content is rich in variety, including anecdotes about their first meeting, behind-the-scenes stories from filming, Matsumura’s nerdy favorite points about Oizumi, and the roles he would like to co-star with in the future.

In addition, to coincide with the release of the video, the full interview content along with newly taken photos has been published on the film’s official website. Be sure to check it out too.
