Three people with an extraordinary aura.

Two beautiful women and a tall man stood in front of a pedestrian crossing, and the three of them radiated an extraordinary aura that overwhelmed their surroundings. The beautiful women were actors Masami Nagasawa (38) and Shizuka Ishibashi (31), and the man was Tasuku Emoto (39). The man was Tasuku Emoto (39).

On the day in question, filming for the movie “Kono ni ode ai etc.,” which will be released in theaters on November 27, was taking place in a corner of central Tokyo.

The film is an original screenplay by Nanako Hirose, 38, a favorite pupil of Hirokazu Kore-eda, 63, who is known for her film “Dawn of Dreams,” which was released in 1964. The film is based on the theme of “polyamory” and questions the nature of a new kind of family. Taiwanese cinematographer Yao Hong-Yee was hired to direct the cinematography, making this a co-production between Japan and Taiwan.

Nagasawa plays the lead role of Uta, a picture book author with a “selfish, sly, but lovable” charm. Emoto plays Morio, a husband torn between the wishes of his unique wife and the ordinary family life, and Ishibashi plays Uta’s lover and editor Junna. In the teaser visual released to the public, Ishibashi and Emoto are seen smiling at each other with Nagasawa in the center,” said a movie magazine reporter.

(A reporter from a movie magazine) It was in the early morning of October last year that this website witnessed the shooting site of the film. A large number of staff gathered, and several staff members were there with hand-held cameras. The actors waited under the elevated JR line until filming began. After a while, Nagasawa, wearing a one-piece dress with colorful watercolor paintings on a white background, and Ishibashi, wearing a shirt with many English letters printed on a black background, appeared. And behind them was Emoto, who was a head taller than the two.

They were being briefed by the staff about the shooting, but all three of them looked stern, as if they had already gotten into their roles. When the call was made to start, the extras around them started walking, and Nagasawa and Ishibashi also started walking on the sidewalk.

Later, while walking back to the starting point after filming, Nagasawa and Ishibashi were smiling and talking happily with the staff.

Nagasawa said, “Love saved my life.

On New Year’s Day of this year, three months after the filming, Nagasawa announced her marriage to film director Souji Fukunaga (43). Although there were reports that she was “taking a break from her activities,” filming continued smoothly after that, with Nagasawa saying after the filming of the movie

I spent time with Shizuka and Tasuku, wandering, searching, and undulating in a world known only to the director, and yet we were able to be there naturally. We were saved by love. That’s what it felt like.

Meanwhile, Ishibashi will be the heroine in NHK’s television series “Brasam,” which will begin airing this fall. As for her collaboration with Masami and Tasuku, she said, “I was very busy with both the movie and the morning drama at the same time,

I had a great time working with Masami and Tasuku, who were very reliable and pleasant to work with,” she said on the film’s official website.

(from the film’s official website), recalling how fulfilling the days were.

There is nothing but high expectations for this tag-team effort between a promising female director and three actors who are leading the Japanese film industry.
