Masami Nagasawa Showing Off Her “Ultraman Fashion” in the Film’s Press Conference

“I’m still in high spirits and can’t process it once I’ve seen it . I can’t wait to go see it in theaters.”

Actress Masami Nagasawa (34) took to the stage at the completion debriefing for the movie “Shin Ultraman” held in Tokyo on May 2. She appeared in full black costume and bright red boots, and excitedly shared her thoughts  of the film.

When asked to comment on her co-star, she said, “Mr. Saito is a calm person, quietly watching over everyone. He is mature and sexy, and is really like an ultraman,” she praised Takumi Saito (40), who plays the lead role.

Her films released last year include “Masquerade Night,” “Karajin Street Detective Tokyo MISSION” and “Subarashiki Sekai”. Among them, “Tokyo MISSION” grossed over 75 billion yen worldwide. Nagasawa has become an indispensable actress for hit movies. On the other hand, Nagasawa’s sexy outfits, which were the talk of the town at every press conference and event until a few years ago, have been kept to a minimum.

I have the impression that she has recently been holding back on her exposure outside of her work. Her performance on stage was highly acclaimed and she won the Yomiuri Drama Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actress.

She is currently narrating the NHK historical drama “Kamakura-dono no 13-nin” (The 13 Lords of Kamakura). With her versatility, which has blossomed over the past 20 years of her career, she will continue to expand her range of activities.
