◇Comment from Ryohei Suzuki

Thanks to everyone, we have now announced the production of a sequel to the film "TOKYO MER." The MER team will once again face a huge crisis. The staff and cast will come together and tackle the major theme that lies before us with determination. While I feel a renewed sense of responsibility, I am also proud that we will once again be able to show everyone their unchanged efforts as they strive to achieve their ideal of "zero deaths." Please come and see it in theaters before anyone else.
