<h2><span class="strongInContent"> Ishii laughs hysterically at Ono&#8217;s funny face.</span></h2>
<p> The two are chatting and laughing under a big umbrella in the cold rain. &#8230;&#8230; They are Hanashi Ono (27) and Anna Ishii (27).</p>
<p> The two are currently starring in the drama &#8220;When You Were Small, There Was a God&#8221; (Fuji Television Network).</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The drama tells the story of three families living in a three-story retro condominium, with the focus on a &#8220;family on the verge of divorce. Ono and Ishii play Higuchi Nao (Ono) and Takamura Shiho (Ishii), a couple who live together and dream of one day opening a kitchen car together.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Nao is a sociable and cheerful character who works at a super public bathhouse. Shiho is shy and quiet, but gets along well with the apartment residents. It remains to be seen whether these two will be able to make their dreams come true.</span></p>
<p> In late November, the filming was being shot on location in front of the Tokyo International Exchange Center in Odaiba (Koto-ku, Tokyo) in the rain. Ono was dressed in a purple sweater with a big scarf wrapped around her. Ishii was wearing a gray cardigan and a large scarf, but was dressed in a mini-skirt and looked cold with her shoulders slumped.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Even so, the two looked very happy before the camera was called to start shooting. When Ono made a &#8220;funny face&#8221; with a lot of expression, Ishii laughed hysterically at her. The two seemed to be getting along well not only in their roles but also in their private lives.</p>
<p> Ono, who was informed of her upcoming collaboration with Ishii in an interview with Fuji TV&#8217;s entertainment news site &#8220;Mezamashi media&#8221; distributed on October 16, said, &#8220;When we decided to appear in each other&#8217;s films, I thought it would be a good opportunity to get to know each other better and to get to know each other better,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Anna contacted me when we decided to appear together, and we promised each other that we would go out to eat a lot together.</span></p>
<p> (Laughs.)&#8221; Ishii also said, &#8220;I&#8217;m good friends with Hanashi,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I think there are a lot of expressions that I can express because I get along well with Hanashi.</span></p>
<p> Ishii also spoke of the chemistry between the two.</p>
<p> Will the dream come true for the two, who are also a great duo in their private lives?</p>

 It was in late November that I discovered the filming of Hanashi Ono and Anna Ishii, who co-star as a same-sex couple in the currently airing drama "When I was small, there was God." Both of them looked very happy and .......

Hanashi Ono and Anna Ishii, who play a live-in couple in “When We Were Small,” show a good-natured shot between takes.
