Hiroshi Abe’s “All-out Dash in a Crowded Place” Emits an Overwhelming Aura

One night in May, the area near Suidobashi Station (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) was crowded with people on their way home from work. A tall man stood out conspicuously in one corner of the area. He is actor Hiroshi Abe (57).

Abe, wearing a coat and carrying a large bag on his shoulder, stands by with dark circles under his eyes. When the camera rolls, he makes a mad dash. Without slowing down, he turns a corner in a great hurry and hands a brown envelope to a woman waiting for him. The woman checks the cash in the envelope and leaves. ……

This drama is distributed by C&I Entertainment, the production company that also produced the movie “Drive My Car. The drama will be distributed not only in Japan but also around the world, and it will be a unique opportunity for Abe to showcase his acting skills to the world.

Abe looks a little tired after running over and over again. Between takes, he rests in a chair and looks out with interest at the display of martial arts goods at the “Fighting Spirit Shop. His days of fighting spirit seem to continue.
