Meiku Hatake and Mirai Shida are starring in a drama series. The film crew is very nervous to see them staring at each other.
W starring in the film, the chemistry is perfect.
A young woman with long brown hair with golden mesh stops on the sidewalk and looks thoughtful. She is Meiku Hata, 24, an actor. Behind her, a large number of staff members with cameras, lights, and microphones were watching her.
In mid-April, in a residential area in Chiba Prefecture, filming was underway for the drama series “Error” (ABC TV, TV Asahi), which is currently airing.
The drama, which began airing on April 12, is a completely original story written by screenwriter Sakiko Yashige. The lead character, Hatake, is Yume Nakata, a woman who, through her own mistake, causes the eventual death of a woman and is crushed by guilt. And the other starring role. Mirai Shida (32) plays Mio Osako, the daughter of the deceased woman, who is in the depths of despair, unable to accept her mother’s death. The two, who do not know each other’s identity or their relationship to the “incident,” meet by chance one day and develop a friendship in this human drama.
After shooting the opening scene, Shida appeared on the set. Dressed in a yellow cardigan and wide denim shorts, Shida stood facing Hatake. And Shida, too, remained motionless with a thoughtful expression on her face. During the filming of the scene in which the two women were staring at each other, there was a sense of tension in the air from beginning to end.
In the episode aired on April 26, Mio (played by Shida) was asked by the daughter of a man who was knocked unconscious by the fall of his mother, “I have a proposition for you, auntie. The scene depicted Mio, played by Shida, being asked by the daughter of a man who had been killed in his mother’s fall and was unconscious. This was met with a lot of reaction on social networking sites, such as, “Has the time come for Shida to be called ‘auntie’? Shida was called an “auntie” in the film, which was released last year.
This is the fifth consecutive drama series Shida has appeared in since last spring. In the January season of this year, she played the role of a mother in “Future Musco” (TBS). Before the filming, Shida said the following on her official website
I’m feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness about how I’m going to take on this role, which is something I haven’t played before.
This drama will be Hata’s first starring role in a terrestrial golden prime time drama.
I think this will be a new challenge for me, a work that will show me a new frontier.
He expressed his enthusiasm. And what about their impressions of each other?
I think Hata has really strong eyes, so I’ll do my best not to be nervous when we act together,” Shida said.
When Shida said, “I think (Hatake) has really strong eyes, so I’ll do my best not to be nervous when I’m acting with him,
We had a radio show together once, and I think we had a very casual conversation. I got the impression that he was really kind, funny, and cheerful.
He also emphasized the good chemistry between them. The drama is attracting attention for the two’s earnest performances, and we can’t take our eyes off of them from here on out…
