However, right after Makoto confesses the existence of a stalker, he receives a frightened call saying, “Kake-kun, help me!” He finally got engaged to protect her, but the truth suddenly disappeared. While visiting her parents, friends, co-workers, and past lover to find a place to live, Kakashi learns about her past and lies that he didn’t want to know. [Comment from author Mizuki Tsujimura] I have always thought that it would be impossible to make this novel into a movie. Maybe we can turn it into a beautiful love story. However, I could never have imagined that the pain and desperation of the main characters at the heart of this novel could be made into a film. So when I saw the finished film, I was very surprised. I was moved by how well you had understood them and approached them deeply, and I was filled with great gratitude. I’m sure that the truth and truth in the story feel the same way. [Director Kentaro Hagiwara Comment] Kashi is a natural character, but there’s something about him that makes you hate him. Even though he is a star, I felt that he has similarities with Fujigaya, who always treats everyone in a level manner. The kind of kindness that lies at Fujigaya’s core always oozes out on set, and I started to like Kake more and more. Nao-san portrayed the background of the character, Makoto, with deep and wide imagination. I hadn’t imagined her before the photo shoot, but every time I saw her, I realized that she was a more attractive woman than I had imagined. Thanks to the two of you for delicately expressing the subtleties of the real emotions that lie between the lines of the original novel, I felt a strong sense of the significance of making it into a live-action film. “Arrogance” and “goodness” are two sides of the same coin, and we must live our lives moving back and forth between them. I hope that this work will help you accept others and yourself that are not perfect and move forward. This time, as a result of searching for a place where the truth overlaps with the truth’s feelings just by being there, we decided to shoot in Saga. I was also very grateful that they were very
cooperative during the filming.
