He said Dir. Shiraishi at a film festival "I want to be in your film!" Dir. Shiraishi remembered and chose him for difficult role and praised "I fell in love with his innocence and natural talent like a wild child."
2. Kure-dialect
This is his second attempt after KonoSeka but the 90s spoken style is completely different. Issei Okihara, Kure-ben coach, said, "I'm always amazed at how quickly Murakami masters his lines. His ears are very good."
3. Murakami was the youngest, his natural friendliness endeared him to the staff and senior actors. He seemed to be relaxed and chatted with the staff right up to the performance. But, the moment he entered the scene, his eyes lit up and he was not Nijiro Murakami, but Chinta. Dir. Shiraishi said, "Nijiro-kun is a really strange actor, and he jokes around with the staff right up until very last minute, so I was really worried about him at first (lol). I was shocked to see how he switched on. His instantaneous power and concentration were so amazing."
4. Murakami's overwhelming presence is particularly evident In the scene of Uebayashi and him in heavy rain. Minoru Kawai, lighting designer, said, "The rain in Team Shiraishi is many times more intense than the rain in other films, so all the first-time actors are surprised. It was mid-October, cold enough to need a stove that night, but the rain continued to fall relentlessly for over three hours of shooting. Murakami was drenched for so long. He couldn't even change out of soaking wet costume and was shaking when the camera cut. Since the scene was very important for the film, Dir. Shiraishi didn't give an OK. The staff even teared up watching him shoot."
The way of life of Chinta, who is tossed about by a harsh fate, at the risk of his life, is sure to touch the hearts of the viewers
