The contents of the digest released on Toho MOVIE Channel are as follows.

▼The scene where Kiyoka and Miyo meet
Miyo turns to Kiyoka’s back and awkwardly greets him, saying, “I’d like to meet you for the first time.” Meguro says, “This is the representative scene of this work. (Omitted) All the stories begin from there.” The facial expressions and gestures of Seika and Miyo in this scene give the audience an impression of their relationship.

▼Filming a scene where you use supernatural powers
Kiyoka and Miyo were born into a family that inherited special abilities. In order to rescue Miyo, Seika takes on Miyo’s girlfriend’s father in a battle that makes full use of his supernatural abilities. A battle involving supernatural powers is expressed through things such as a shoji screen being cut in two without being touched, pieces of paper being blown away, and Kiyoka’s hair fluttering.

▼Meguro with the director talking about lines
At the Saimori house, Director Tsukahara and Meguro discuss Kiyoka’s line, “Even if heaven and earth were turned upside down, I would never choose you.” The look on Meguro’s face as he checks the intonation at the end of the sentence, gets a satisfactory answer, and then begins his performance is impressive.

▼Meguro holds Imada over and over again Meguro x Imada About each other’s impressions
Meguro says that Miyo, played by Imada, “looks like she came out of the original work.” Kiyoka easily picks up the rescued Miyo, but according to Imada, in the scene where she was talking while holding Miyo, she also showed a cool, uncharacteristic expression of Kiyoka, like saying, “Oh no!” He revealed a surprising side.

▼Last day of shooting
Meguro and Imada cranked up at the same time. Holding a large bouquet of flowers in her hand, a tearful Imada said, “I’m so happy to have been able to play Miyo.” Meguro, who had tears in his eyes and looked up to prevent them from falling, expressed his gratitude to the staff, saying, “I was able to learn deeply while feeling everyone’s love.”
