On August 20th, actor Go Ayano attended the premiere event and stage greeting for the movie "The Last Mile" (directed by Ayuko Tsukahara, released on August 23rd) held in Tokyo with his "partner" Gen Hoshino and others.
This film is directed by Director Tsukahara and written by Akiko Nogi, and is a non-stop suspense story in a "shared universe" that crosses the world lines of the dramas "Unnatural" (2018) and "MIU404" (2020).
Ayano, who played Ibuki Ai in "MIU404", commented on the movie, "What was big for my role was meeting Shima (Kazumi) (played by Hoshino). And being able to be reunited with him again. Such personal feelings support the film. When I think that they will reach everyone, I feel very warm. I hope everyone enjoys this big love film," and called out to Hoshino like Ibuki, "Thank you Shima!"
Hoshino sent a message about the movie saying, "It's also known as the Nogi Akiko Festival and the Arai Junko (producer) Festival. I'm looking forward to participating. After reading the script, I think it's a truly wonderful story, with ordinary people as the main characters, and the words 'last mile' are words that I'm sure you'll remember. I think they're words that you will take home with you into your lives."
At the event, the two posed for photos together, showing that they are just as close "partners" as they were four years ago.
