[Video] Rena Tanaka and Yutaka Takenouchi star together for the first time as a married couple. Despite feeling nervous on set, she said, "We had a happy and warm time together." Opening day greeting for the film "Yukikaze."

Actor Rena Tanaka attended the opening day stage greeting for the film "Yukikaze" (directed by Toshihisa Yamada) held in Tokyo on August 15th. She spoke about her impression of Yutaka Takenouchi, who played her husband in the film.

Tanaka plays Shizu Terazawa, the wife of Kazutoshi Terazawa (played by Takenouchi), the captain of the destroyer Yukikaze. Tanaka recalls, "This was my first time acting with Yutaka Takenouchi, and the first scene I had was when he came home saying, 'I'm home.'"

"I was really nervous when I arrived on set, but he had such a gentle and warm demeanor that it was like the whole scene was perfumed with that atmosphere, and it felt like I was instantly transported into that fragrance. Rather than feeling nervous, I felt like we were able to spend a happy and warm time together," she said with a smile.

Also appearing on stage to greet the audience were lead actors Takenouchi, Hiroshi Tamaki, Daiken Okudaira, Ami Touma, Kiichi Nakai, screenwriter Hasegawa Yasuo, and director Yamada.

The film depicts on a grand scale the lives and fates of people who struggled to survive in the turbulent times that stretched from the Pacific War to the postwar period and on into the present day. Based on historical fact, it brings to life as fiction the many roles played by the Yukikaze, the only one of the 38 main destroyers to survive until the end of the war without sinking and known as the "unsinkable ship."
