FRIDAY Eyewitness! Harikomi24 <Nihonbashi, 12:25
Monday morning in Nihonbashi (Chuo Ward), where sleepy-faced businessmen were passing by. On a bridge stood a woman in a T-shirt and jeans that did not look out of place in this town. She was Mei Nagano (22). She was filming the drama “Riding on a Unicorn” (TBS), which will start airing in July.
The heroine, played by Nagano, is a young CEO of a start-up company, whose subordinate is played by Hidetoshi Nishijima, and the CEO of a large company, whom the heroine admires, is played by Ryoko Hirosue. Ryoko Hirosue plays the CEO of a large company who is the heroine’s admirer” (TV magazine writer).
On this day, a series of shots were shot in several cuts of the …… sequence, in which Nagano calls someone, then rushes across the bridge and dashes down the sidewalk. In the production, they made a mad dash, closing both the sidewalk and the roadway to traffic. However, it was difficult to get an OK. Still, Nagano kept running without showing any signs of fatigue. Many passersby stopped to watch her enthusiastic performance.
FRIDAY reported the other day that she was on a shopping spree for brand-name goods, and the power she has accumulated from her shopping spree must have been put to good use during the photo shoot.
