<p> Actors Riho Yoshioka (33) and Nao (31) will play the lead roles in the movie &#8220;Shadow Work&#8221; (directed by Ryuhei Yoshino), which is scheduled to be released within this year.</p>
<p> The film is based on the novel of the same title by author Hiromi Sano, winner of the 66th Edogawa Rampo Award.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yoshioka plays Noriko, a woman who has been subjected to daily violence by her husband. She is brought to &#8220;Home,&#8221; a facility quietly built on the edge of the Miura coast, and through her life there she regains her true self.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On the other hand, Nao plays Kaoru, a detective who arrives at &#8220;Ouchi&#8221; while investigating the whereabouts of a deceased woman. It is a crime suspense depicting domestic violence in Japan from two women&#8217;s perspectives,&#8221; said a writer for a movie magazine.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Friday Digital filmed the shooting last year. The location was Miura Beach (Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture). Yoshioka appeared, escorted by a staff member, amid the lingering summer heat and strong sunlight.</p>
<p> He was dressed simply in a short-sleeved white shirt and black pants. Instead of his usual cheerful mood, his expression was somewhat gloomy. Perhaps he had already gotten into the role.</p>
<p> After a while, a scene was shot of Yoshioka walking out of Miura Kaigan Station after changing into his costume, followed by a scene of him getting into a car. It seems that Nao, who plays the W starring role, was not present that day.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yoshioka apparently started filming this movie right after finishing the shooting of NHK&#8217;s nighttime drama &#8220;Hirayasu,&#8221; which aired from November to December last year to great acclaim. In &#8220;Hira-yasumi,&#8221; he played a comedic role of a stressed-out office worker at a real estate company.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In the NHK historical drama &#8220;Toyotomi Brothers! In the NHK Taiga drama &#8220;Toyotomi Brothers!&#8221;, she plays Kei (Chika), the wife of Toyotomi Hidenaga (Koichiro), played by Nakano Taiga (33), who is rumored to be a very &#8220;peculiar character. That&#8217;s just one word to describe her.</span></p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> In a comment video on the film&#8217;s official website, Yoshioka says, &#8220;Together with Nao-san, whom I place my trust in, and the richly unique cast members who will be announced in the future, we bonded and created the world of &#8220;Shadow Work&#8221;. I hope everyone will watch the film with bated breath.</span></p>
<p> Yoshioka&#8217;s profound performance is a perfect example of this. Yoshioka&#8217;s profound performance is a sight to behold.</p>

 Riho Yoshioka and Nao were announced to play the lead roles in the movie "Shadow Work," which is scheduled to be released by the end of this year. It was last year when I discovered Yoshioka on the set of the film. Yoshioka looked like she was already into the role with a heavy expression on her face.

Riho Yoshioka is on location at Miura Beach for her latest movie!　She is a serious actress with a “rooted” character.
