Abe: My elder sister is Okada-kun's fan. She found out about this movie on instagram and called me "Wow, you're doing a movie with Okada!!!" 🤣
Okada: Abe-san told me about this on set and I decided to join the Abe family.
Okada: I was very impressed by Yamato's (Abe) very abstract and artistic last cut. Watching the backs of the crew as they prepared to shoot that, I thought again, "Ah, films are wonderful". I don't know how this film will be received, but I hope those same age as me will see it.
Okada: I think I was able to create a proper persona for Masaya (Okada's chara) is a part of my performance that I can appreciate myself. Maybe Dir. Shiraishi and I happened to have the same interpretation of the role, but I don't remember him directing me too much this time.
Okada: There were no misunderstandings between us, and we were able to work together. I suggested things to the director and he said, "I like this element better.". We just worked this way.
Abe: I wasn't given much direction either, but there is a scene where Yamato (Abe's chara) is drinking tea while looking at a tree he planted over a dead body. I was crossing my legs there. But Dir. Shiraishi said "Can't you imagine playing Yamato with his legs uncrossed?"
Abe: I felt like that is where Yamato was born. I thought, "Oh, Yamato is a man who keeps his legs uncrossed," and such things are unexpectedly important.
