<p> Karasawa and Koizumi are chatting and laughing while waiting. As Karasawa explains something to Koizumi with his hands outstretched in a gesture of laughter, Koizumi begins to laugh as well. However, when the camera started rolling, their expressions turned tense. After exchanging a few words, Karasawa turned to Koizumi with a wry smile and left Koizumi.</p>

<p><strong> Karasawa&#8217;s professionalism is second to none. He is taking thorough precautions to prevent infection, saying, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to get COVID-19 crisis and cause trouble on the set.</strong></p>
<p> Karasawa&#8217;s professionalism as an actor will be on full display in this film.</p>
