Akihiro Nishino comment I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff members who faced the extremely difficult expressions head on and poured their skills and passion into it until the end, and to all the fans who always watched and supported us with a half-smile as we faced the strange challenges. I would like to say this. We would also like to express our deep gratitude to everyone involved in the film festival for their warm understanding and support for this film. Director Tsutsumi, Producer Matsumoto, everyone at Tonko House and Dwarf, and all the fans…The time I spent with everyone involved in “Bottle George” is an irreplaceable treasure and a driving force for me. I would be happy to work with you again. And…Koji Higashino finally discovers the existence of Bottle George, so he quickly tries to secure an evacuation route.
