I asked the scriptwriter Ikegami Junya to make a very long script that would take more than 3 hours for a movie, and then shortened it, so the content was condensed.
Hioka is a little wild, so I'd like you to pay attention to the changes there. Actually, that I wanted start from the scene where Hioka put the Irezumi tattoos, but that was rejected as expected. (lol)
I'm looking forward to seeing the sequel because the number of dark characters is increasing. Thankfully, after the release of the first movie, many people said to me 'If you want to do a sequel, I want to participate.".
The shooting was completed in November 8th, 2020. There was no infection and we did the PCR test, report their temperature everyday and disinfect.
It was just going between the shooting site and the hotel everyday. As a result, I was able to concentrate on the shooting itself.
Due to corona, the producer and I rented out a store for a month and let it open from 7am to midnight with a chef. The cast and staff exclusively to go there and drink. It's "Izakaya Koro no chi". The izakaya actually produced unexpected effects.
Usually, when we go location-shoots, each department (lighting, actors) go to different restaurants to drink. But this time there is only that store, so all the staff and the cast are together. Thanks to that, the teamwork was also very good.
I drank online with Tori during lockdown in May. Tori said, "If I were the director, I would be a drunkard." (lol). At first, it's just 2 of us but Takuma Otoo joined us and said "Let's call Yakusho Koji!"; it didn't happen, but I was thrilled (lol).
