The story begins when Toru Konishi (played by Hagiwara), who was living a boring life in college, falls in love with Hana Sakurada (played by Kawai), who has lived -grab with a dignified look a girl with a bun at the end of the class. One day. The two hit it off, but something shocking happens that changes their fate…
Hagiwara appeared on stage dressed in black. When I talked about my feelings at the Tokyo International Film Festival, Kawai said, “I’m glad people can see it in a place like this. Honestly, I’m worried about the kind of feedback I’ll get.’ “I am delighted that this film will be screened at the prestigious Tokyo International Film Festival,” he said in a statement.
When he was playing the role of Konishi, Hagiwara started by talking about how he usually prepares for his role. “Konishi has elements like being a stupid college student and wearing a parasol. But, I thought it would be dangerous to go into it from those aspects of the character parts: parts I could relate to and parts I didn’t understand. Usually, I’m the type of person who comes to the scene with these parts in mind, and makes decisions about what I would do differently. It was very difficult to do this this time, and in a sense it can be reckless, but I don’t decide on the right answer, but I always think about the possibilities and the meanings many times before I enter the field , and I will work with him everyone. My approach was to be there and believe in what we could come up with as we talked and hit each other as we went. during the preparatory work, such as going to school, and I asked Director Daiku to direct Konishi’s character I created him,” he continued, sadly.
Kawai also said that when preparing for the role, he focused on tying his hair in a bun, saying, “Since Sakurada will be told from Konishi’s point of view, I drew inspiration from Sakurada as seen by Konishi and Sakurada as seen by the audience.
In addition, when the director Daiku read the original work, he said, “There is a scene where one of the characters begins to speak with great enthusiasm,” I thought it would be challenging and interesting,” he said, and even Giwara cried loudly as he listened to the scene. The director Daiku also sent a message saying, “It is a special film for me too, with people of all ages appearing in it.”
The movie “I still can’t say I like today’s sky” is expected in April 2025!
