[Video] Suzu Hirose cried a lifetime's worth of tears while filming the movie "Treasure Island": "I felt like I was going to wither. I was completely withered."

Actors Satoshi Tsumabuki and Suzu Hirose attended the Tokyo premiere of the film "Treasure Island" (directed by Otomo Keishi, released on September 19th) held in Tokyo on September Getsuku.

The film is based on the novel of the same name by Shindo Junjo, winner of the 160th Naoki Prize, the 9th Yamada Futaro Prize, and the 5th Okinawa Bookstore Award. Set in Okinawa under American rule after the war, the film depicts the turbulent 20 years of the young people known as "Senka Agiya." Tsumabuki plays detective Gusuku, while Hirose plays Yamako, Gusuku's childhood friend who actively participates in the anti-base and reversion movement while continuing to wait for her beloved.

Hirose, who has said in interviews that she "cried a lifetime's worth of tears (during filming)," recalled, "I felt like I was completely dried up. I was completely dried up. There were a lot of scenes at the end where I was alone, and I felt the power of Okinawa while filming. Even when I watched the actual film, I thought I was crying."

He continued, "It was a privilege to see everyone, starting with Tsukamoto-san, facing Okinawa head-on and working on the production and their roles with love and passion."

Also appearing at the Tokyo premiere were Tsumabuki, Suzu Hirose Masataka Kubota, Nagayama Eita, Tsukamoto Shinya, Kumi Takiuchi, Eriya, Shogen, Kobata Ryu, Okuno Eita, Murata Hideaki from "Toro Salmon," Derrick Dover, and director Otomo.
