Chofu, 8:40 a.m.
The TV drama “Ai Ai Uso: Gentle Darkness” (TV Asahi) is scheduled to start airing on January 14. It was a cold morning in early December when I witnessed the filming near Fuda Station (Chofu City) on the Keio Line.
Standing by at the roundabout in front of the station were Haru (30), the lead actress, and Tomoka Kurokawa (32). Haru is rubbing her hands together, trying to warm them up, as if she is really cold. The heroine, played by Haru, is a manga assistant. Kurokawa plays her middle school classmate, a celebrity wife who married into a prominent local family.
Haru and Kurokawa were the only ones in the scene that day, and they filmed a scene where Haru got into the car with Kurokawa at the wheel and they talked in the car. As they spent a lot of time in the car, they took care to wear masks as soon as the camera cut to prevent infection.
The film is a suspense drama based on a manga series. This is a suspense drama based on a serialized manga, and since the drama will have an original storyline, predicting how the story will unfold is going to be a hot topic.
I’m looking forward to seeing the actors’ passionate performances and the storyline.
