He explained, “I was taking the picture soberly by myself. ‘Raise your legs a little more,’ or ‘elbows up,’ or ‘straighten up so that the tree will fall when it falls.’ …… I was thinking how difficult it is to film alone.
Masami Nagasawa (34), who plays Hiroko Asami, the main character’s sidekick, smiled and talked about the difficulties she faced during the filming of “Shin Ultraman” on May 25 at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
Shin Ultraman” was a blockbuster hit, drawing more than 1.5 million viewers in its first two weeks of release. The box-office revenue was nearly 2.2 billion yen. Nagasawa’s performance is the focus of attention.
Ms. Nagasawa is a renowned actress who has won numerous awards, including the Blue Ribbon Award for Best Actress (for “Confidence Man JP” in 2007) and the Japan Academy Award for Best Actress (for “MOTHER Mother” in 2008). She is a rare actress who can handle any direction, from comical roles to serious characters.
In “Sin Ultraman,” she plays a bold and intelligent woman. Her role in “Shin Ultraman” is that of a bold and intelligent woman. It is a difficult role that is somewhat comedic, but she handles it well.
What’s inside Suzu Hirose’s “too desperate” performance
Nagasawa is not the only actress who has given a sparkling performance in a popular movie.
Suzu Hirose (23) and Mikako Tabe (33) in “Wandering Moon,” Keiko Kitagawa (35) in “The Road to the Big River,” and Riho Yoshioka (29) in “Haken Anime! Riho Yoshioka (29) and Machiko Ono (40) in “Haken Anime!” ……. The best actresses are leading their respective productions.
In the opening speech of “Wandering Moon” on May 13, Hirose herself expressed her deep emotion, saying, “I was already too desperate. The story is about a kidnapping victim, Mr. Hirose, and the perpetrator, Momori Matsuzaka, who are reunited for the first time in 15 years.
Hirose’s “too desperate” performance was shown in a love scene with Ryusei Yokohama, who plays her boyfriend. She kisses him deeply and lifts his legs up in a daring scene. Ms. Hirose has an image of being serious and stoic. In this movie, she betrays this impression in a good way. I got the impression that she has peeled off her skin as an adult actress.
These famous actresses show us new faces depending on the films they appear in. We hope you will come to the theater to see them in person.
