<p>On a busy holiday weekend in May, filming was taking place on the deck in front of Ueno Station. Passersby stopped to look at Haruka Igawa (45) and Yutaka Matsushige (59).</p>

<p>Igawa waited in front of the monument on the deck. Matsushige arrives on the deck after climbing the stairs, scurries around and looks for Igawa. He must be waiting for his date. They finally meet up, bowed, and talked for a while, but eventually Matsushige took the lead and left the scene &#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>During the waiting time, Igawa was happily chatting with the staff. Her skin was remarkably white and glowing, not unlike that of a woman in her mid-40s. She was smiling the whole time as she talked with the staff, but before the show, she quickly switched her expression and got into the role.</p>

<p>When Matsushige made a gesture like &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, one more time&#8221; after an NG, Ikawa gave a soft smile as if to say, &#8220;It&#8217;s okay. This smile must have soothed not only Matsushige but also old men all over the country.</p>

 It was a weekend in May. A film shoot was taking place on the deck in front of a station in Tokyo. Two famous actors, Haruka Igawa and Yutaka Matsushige, were on the scene. Immediately after Matsushige gave an NG and made a gesture of apology, Ikawa took an unexpected action.
