Kasumi Arimura’s Eye Acting Sets Record for ‘Umi no Hajimari’

The staff of “silent” (Fuji TV), a drama series that caused a social phenomenon, reunited to produce the July season’s Monday 9 drama “Umi no Hajimari” (Fuji TV).

A number of viewers were moved to tears by the sad “family” story depicted through the “love between parent and child. The drama has also set an all-time record for the number of “missed views,” and is receiving a huge response.

In this drama, the main character Tsukioka Natsu (Meguro Ren) learns of the existence of her daughter Umi (Izumitani Sena) from her mother (Otake Shinobu) at the funeral of her college sweetheart, Minamigumo Suiki (Furukawa Kotone).

The film does not use monologues or narration in the film, and the explanatory dialogue has been wonderfully stripped down. This is why the characters’ thoughts and feelings are so deeply felt in the hearts of the viewers. In the midst of all this, Kasumi Arimura’s performance as Yayoi Momose, Natsu’s lover, is nothing short of spectacular” (producer, production company).

Eight years ago, Arimura starred in her first Gekkinen drama “Itsuka Kono Koi wo Ki wo Mimemori Kitto Ni Kawaii (Itsukoi)” (Fuji Television Network). Producer Ken Murase, who is working with Arimura again, looks back on that time,

He said, “No matter how difficult the situation, she played the role of Onde (Arimura), who lives positively and earnestly, not only with kindness and warmth, but also with weakness and fragility.

He also commented on her charms.

“She has maintained the same dignified strength that lies within her dainty appearance.

The actress, however, is not the only one to have a strong presence in the film.

But that is not the only charm of actress Kasumi Arimura.

Take, for example, the second episode. In the second episode, for example, there is a scene in which Natsu confides in Yayoi that she did not know that Mizuki had given birth to Umi, even though she had agreed to abort the child. In that scene,

I was honestly relieved. I thought I had killed her.

I thought I had killed her. Hearing these words, Yayoi, unable to bear it any longer, goes into the bathroom and sits down as if in a crumpled heap, a single tear falling from her deeply sorrowful eyes.
