<p> A woman stands on the terrace of a wedding hall, wearing a sweatshirt and looking at the sea in the distance with her arms folded. The tiara on her head further accentuated her beauty. She is Haruna Kawaguchi, 31, an actor.</p>
<p> In late August of last year, Kawaguchi was filming the movie &#8220;Even If Mama is No Longer in This World, My Diary of Life,&#8221; which is scheduled to be released this fall.</p>
<p> On April 17, Toei announced the film&#8217;s October 2 release date. At the same time, it was learned that Kawaguchi will star in the film. This will be her first solo starring role in a movie in 13 years, since the movie &#8220;The Unusual Mystery of Madame Marmalade&#8221; was released in 2001.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> In February &#8217;20, she will appear in &#8220;100 Million Great Questions!　(Nippon Television Network Corporation) in February &#8217;20. (Nippon Television Network Corporation) in February 2008. The story of a couple who were closely followed in the &#8220;Wedding Journey&#8221; section of the program drew the sympathy of the entire country as a &#8220;true story that made me cry nonstop. The film is based on the best-selling memoir &#8220;Even if Mama is No Longer in the World, My Diary of Life&#8221; written by the late Nodoka Endo, who was the bride at that time. Kawaguchi plays Kazu, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer at the age of 21, but later stopped anticancer treatment, gave birth to a child, and died at the age of 24,&#8221; said a film magazine reporter.</span></p>
<p> According to Toei&#8217;s official website, Kawaguchi is,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> According to Toei&#8217;s official website, Kawaguchi lost 10 kilograms during the two-month filming period, which was shot in sequence, in order to portray the realistic image of her being tortured by cancer.</span></p>
<p> Kawaguchi herself stated on the same website that she had lost 10 kilograms during the two months of filming. Kawaguchi herself also states on the same website, &#8220;I will leave Kazu&#8217;s life in my own body,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I strongly wished to preserve Kazu&#8217;s life with my own body, and I was prepared to devote myself to the project, both physically and mentally.</span></p>
<p> I was prepared to devote myself physically and mentally to the project. However, the comments on social networking sites were controversial, with some people criticizing, for example, &#8220;You should quit the drastic weight loss because it is dangerous,&#8221; and &#8220;Please don&#8217;t do anything bad to your body. However, the filming itself began in August last year and ended in September. Kawaguchi&#8217;s health is believed to have been fine, as she has been showing her good health on her SNS and other social networking sites.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In fact, as mentioned at the beginning of this article, Friday Digital witnessed Kawaguchi at the time of the shooting last August. The location was a wedding hall in Chiba Prefecture. Also on set was Mahiro Takasugi (29), who plays her husband, Shoichi Endo; after the wedding scene at the ceremony hall, the two filmed the after-party in another room. In between, Kawaguchi, who had changed from her wedding dress to a sweatshirt, was seen on the terrace. Sure, she looked slightly slimmer, but as we saw at the beginning, she looked superbly beautiful and her smile was healthy as she gazed at the sea in the distance. And the two were enjoying conversation between shots as if they were a real newlywed couple.</p>
<p> In the official website, Kawaguchi said,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> During the filming, I was lost, worried, suffering, and experiencing various emotions, but I was very encouraged by the fact that Mr. Takasugi fought alongside me as a person I could trust and feel secure with.</span></p>
<p> He commented. We hope that you will enjoy the live-action film of the story of the couple who sent Japan into a whirlpool of emotion this fall.</p>
