Juri Ueno comment
Playing Asagao for the first time in about 2 years
I was able to meet all the original members for the first time in two years, and the overall feeling that flowed at the Asagao site was harmonious, so I thought it would be suitable Although we had to make some changes, such as the director getting involved when we were trying to do something a little interesting, or trying to understand someone who was strange, in general relationships were everyone very calm and comfortable on the set. Since it was a special and one-time reunion, after filming was over, everyone was sad to see them go, but they dispersed again. But I feel like we’ll see each other again. It was great to be able to shoot in a place like that. This time, there was a scene where Tsugumi and Satomi were sleeping in the Manki family’s bedroom, but they both fell asleep because they gave up everything during filming, and stayed in the one sleeping position until all scenes were given to me (laughs).
Thoughts and views after reading the script
As for the growth of the children, Tsugumi, the eldest daughter, begins to fall in love, and Satomi, the second daughter, is able to talk a lot, so you can look forward to seeing real both children grew up. I hope you have it. There will also be scenes about a father who is far away, a mother who died in Japan’s Great East Earthquake, and a foster child, so I hope you will see it to the end.
A message to viewers
Thanks to all the viewers for supporting us for a long time. “Inspector Asagao” returns for the first time in two years with a special New Year’s episode. Please check it out!
Shunsuke Kazama’s comment
Playing Shinya for the first time in about two years
I felt as if the Manki family and the Nogeyama police station had always been there. In fact, “Inspector Asagao” is in the hearts of all the crew and staff, and I felt again that even the time that is not shown has a strong history. I’m looking forward to seeing how much time everyone who watches it spends with the time spent on this story.
Thoughts and views after reading the script
It doesn’t show any significant power boosts or major changes. However, two years of growth and change are shown quietly. However, Tsugumi and Satomi’s growth is amazing. This is a work that carefully shows things that change and things that don’t, so the growth of the children is something that everyone who loves “Inspector Asagao” should definitely watch. . I would also like people to see the unchanging warmth of the story and the way they approach life.
A message to viewers
“Inspector Asagao” shows not only the happiness and calm days of everyday life, but also the things that change during the day, even if you don’t want to change. That’s why we appreciate today. I would be happy if you could talk about this story with people you haven’t seen in a while, or people you haven’t seen in a long time but are considering contacting us.”
Comment Ayaka Kinjo (producer).
“Inspector Asagao” is back again. I was able to represent the world of drama again with the amazing cast including Juri Ueno. This amazing opportunity is given to us by the viewers who have loved this work for a long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We started broadcasting in July 2019, but we never imagined that we would all be reuniting for a special drama film five years later.
This story is all connected to “family”. Be sure to watch it live in the New Year! I would like to continue the story, so thank you for your continued support!
