<h2><span class="strongInContent"> Is he a real yakuza?&#8221;</span></h2>
<p> On stage, actor Suzu Hirose (27) generously showed off her beautiful décolleté. And Nozomi Morita (29) appeared in a bold &#8220;beautiful legs&#8221; fashion.</p>
<p> On February 17, the 68th Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony was held in Tokyo, where Hirose won the Best Leading Actress Award and Morita won the Best Supporting Actress Award.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Hirose starred in three films, &#8220;Katakami Sekai,&#8221; &#8220;Distant Light in the Mountains,&#8221; and &#8220;Yukite Kaeranaru. In &#8220;Katakami,&#8221; Hirose is a solid, fashionable woman who works for a real estate company. In &#8220;Distant Mountain Ranges,&#8221; she portrays a woman who came to England from Nagasaki after the war and lived a strong life. Her performance in these three films, in which she plays different roles, was highly acclaimed.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Hirose appeared in a black dress by Patou. The audience sighed &#8230;&#8230; at her mature appearance with high heels and beautiful back. Hirose said,</p>
<p> Hirose said, &#8220;All of the roles are played by women from different eras, and they are all very strong and determined to survive. I struggled, but I was blessed with the work, the staff, and my co-stars, and I was able to have a good time.</p>
<p> She also commented on her impressions of the film. When asked about how she prepared for the role of a different woman, she replied, &#8220;I was very conscious of the times,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Rather than being very conscious of the times, I was playing a role in which the women had really strong convictions, so I was in a state of intense concentration the whole time,&#8221; she said.</span></p>
<p> She revealed that she had been concentrating on her role throughout the year.</p>
<p> Morita appeared in a long white dress with a deep slit, which also wowed the audience.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Morita played the role of a bodyguard for Keiko Kitagawa (39) in the movie &#8220;Night Flower. She is also a martial artist, and for the role she increased her weight by seven kilograms through strength training. She has won many prominent awards, including the Hochi Film Award and the Japan Academy Prize.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Needless to say, her toned and beautiful legs peeking out from her slit caught the audience&#8217;s attention. When asked what prompted her to take on the role, Morita replied, &#8220;It all started with Uchida (Hideki Uchida),</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Morita replied, &#8220;It all started when I received a line from director Eiji Uchida asking me if I had good athletic skills. I said, &#8216;I&#8217;m not good, but I&#8217;ll do my best if there&#8217;s something I can do&#8217;&#8230; I didn&#8217;t expect it to be a burly fighter, and I regretted saying I&#8217;d do my best for a bit.</span></p>
<p> When asked about his impression of Ryuta Shibuya (38), vocalist of the rock band &#8220;Super Beaver,&#8221; with whom he co-starred in the film, he said, &#8220;He was scary from the first scene,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He was scary from the first scene, and I wondered if he was a real yakuza. I wondered how he was doing since he didn&#8217;t say much, but he was trembling and nervous, so I thought he was very pure, serious, and sincere on the first day. After that, we really got to know each other.</span></p>
<p> The audience burst into laughter. The audience laughed out loud and the award ceremony was a great success.</p>
<p> This year, Hirose appeared in &#8220;Fahrenheit minus 320°,&#8221; the latest stage production of NODA MAP, led by Hideki Noda (70), after a two-year absence. There is also information that she will star in a Netflix drama to be released next year. Morita, on the other hand, will star in NHK&#8217;s TV series &#8220;Mawaru Swan&#8221; in the first half of &#8217;27. Filming will begin this fall.</p>
<p> We cannot take our eyes off these two actors this year.</p>
