[Video] Reiwa Roman Kuruma: Sugisaki Hana's passionate performance as date partner Special video for the movie “Meets the World”

A special video for the film "Meets the World" (released October 24th), starring actress Hana Sugisaki, was released on September 25th. The video shows a yakiniku date scene between Yukari, played by Sugisaki, and Okuyama, played by Kuruma from the comedy duo "Reiwa Roman," and also includes a commentary video from director Daigo Matsui.

The film is based on Akutagawa Prize-winning author Kanehara Hitomi's novel "Meets the World," which won the 35th Shibata Renzaburo Prize. Set in Kabukicho, the film depicts the encounters of a 27-year-old protagonist who is a huge fan of the personified yakiniku manga "Meat is Mine," but cannot love herself, as she experiences a new world. This is the first film adaptation of Kanehara's novel in approximately 17 years since her debut work, "Snakes and Earrings," which won the 130th Akutagawa Prize. In the film, Sugisaki plays the protagonist Yukari, who pours all her love into "Meat is Mine," but cannot love herself, and feels anxious and impatient about living solely on work and hobbies.
