Riho Yoshioka (31) in a vividly colored green kimono, Anna Ishibashi (32) working hard in a winter coat, and Go Ayano (42) sweating it out with running—caught a glimpse of the professional spirit of popular actors struggling in the scorching heat.

In recent years, Japan has experienced relentless, sweltering summers. Actors implement measures like ice packs, handheld fans, and parasols to combat the heat, yet they make it look effortless during actual performances.

For example, Haruka Ayase (39), who was filming a fall scene from a pedestrian bridge in ‘Gibo to Musume no Blues FINAL’ (TBS), dove onto cushions laid beneath the bridge in a black kimono. To pursue realism, she insisted on taking all the takes herself without using a stunt double. Despite repeating the dive multiple times and becoming drenched in sweat, she ended with a smile as if satisfied.

Admired for their professional dedication that doesn’t falter in the heat!
