Actress Erika Sawajiri appeared on stage on February 27th in Tokyo to greet the audience on the opening day of the film "#Spread" (directed by Shirogane), which was released on the same day. She revealed the game she is addicted to.
In reference to the main character, played by Ryo Narita, becoming addicted to social media in the film, Sawajiri was asked about something she unexpectedly became obsessed with, to which she mentioned the popular game "Momotaro Dentetsu." "It was a while ago, but I started playing it for the first time since I was in elementary school, and I got so addicted to it. I kept playing it forever... If you buy up all the stations and all the properties, the train turns gold. I went too far," she said, blushing and laughing, "I'm just a person with a lot of free time (laughs)!", drawing laughter from those around her.
The film is a social suspense drama that takes the COVID-19 pandemic as its theme and offers a scathing portrayal of the chaotic reality of modern society. Narita plays Asaoka Shinji, a caregiver who is tormented by deep loss and doubt after his wife dies shortly after receiving the vaccine, while Sawajiri plays Fukushima Minami, a newspaper reporter who loses her fiancé to a medical accident and becomes interested in Asaoka, who is in a similar situation.
