Comedian Rei Maruyama appeared as a guest at a talk show for the NHK morning drama series " Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.) held at the Japanese Red Cross Hokkaido College of Nursing in Kitami City, Hokkaido on Asadora . Maruyama, who plays Matsu Nakayama, the neighbor of Rin Ichinose (played by Ai Mikami), spoke about the highlights of the drama and behind-the-scenes stories from filming.
Maruyama, who hails from Kitami City, expressed her gratitude, saying, "So many customers came out, and since it was my hometown, I was able to see some familiar faces. I realized that I am who I am today because of those people."
"In ' Asadora,' everything from speech patterns and gestures to posture is observed, and I received guidance on every single movement from experts on that era. Rather than acting in my own style, I had to completely embody the person of that time, so I thought it was a very profound experience in the world of acting," he said, reflecting on the filming.
Regarding the highlights, she said, "In ' Kaze,Kaoru,' I play Matsu Nakayama, who is the neighbor of the main character, Rin Ichinose. I hope you will enjoy the scenes depicting their wonderful neighborly interactions. Please look forward to future developments!"
