On the 1st of this month, it was learned that Shoki Sugata (28) and Mieko Harada (62) will star in the film "Hundred Flowers" (released on September 9 next year), with the original author Genki Kawamura as the director.

In the film, Kasai Izumi, played by Sugata Shoko, works for a record company, marries a colleague, and has a child about to be born. Mieko Harada plays his mother, Yuriko, who has lost her memory. The story revolves around an incident caused by a disagreement between the mother and son.

In the spring of 2020, Sugata decided to star after reading the original work of Kawamura Genki, and called Kawamura directly to "Please make sure I star". Sugata said, "I was unconsciously in tears while reading the original novel, and I think this is a work that Mr. Kawamura deserves to be named." At the same time, I have great confidence in the film "During the shooting, I left an unforgettable shooting scene in my life, and Ms. Harada and I were exhausted and very much looking forward to the release of the film."

Sugata announced on the 15th of last month that he was married to Naina Komatsu (25). Filming began in June, before his wedding, and according to Kawamura, during the shooting scene of about two months, Sugata once said, "I don't know when I will be a father, can I be a good father?" Kawamura said that "he may have seen his future in the near future in some parts of the film, so he showed amazing potential".

After working together, Mieko Harada and Shoko Sugata said, "He is a very sincere and trustworthy person who has given me a lot of support and help." In the filming of one scene and one shot in the film, some shots even took as many as 25 shots. Harada said, "This is a work that embodies everyone's hard work, so stay tuned!" ”
