▲

Actress Reiko Takashima attended hitomi Kuroki's show "あさナビ" (broadcast on Japan) of which Hitomi Kuroki was the host. Talked about the starring movie "Prayer", which is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2020.

Kuroki: "あさナビ", which talks to experts from different industries every day, this week's guest is actress Reiko Takashima. Today we will talk about the movie "Prayer", which is scheduled to be released this fall, a work set in Nagasaki.

Takashima: The original work is a play by the deceased Nagasaki-born playwright Mr. Chiho Tanaka, "The Head of the Virgin Mary". Titled "Prayer," it is a work set in Nagasaki in the 10th year after the war, in the Showa 30s, depicting the dangers of the atomic bombing and the Catholic faith.

Kuroki: It seems to be a very informative work.

Takashima: Yes. Although I want to protect the bombed statue of the Virgin Mary, it is more like a bloody story like "let's work together to do something" than faith.

Kuroki: Is this a real event?

Takashima: Although there are real characters, they are fictional stories. This time I'm playing a role as a nurse and a prostitute. Has Kuroki-san ever played several roles at the same time?

Kuroki: It seems that there is, and it seems that there is not. I kind of don't remember.

Takashima: That's it. I've also never had the experience of playing two roles that are so different, and one of them is a prostitute, which is really stressful.

Kuroki: There's a feeling of a goddess and a demon, because there's a big difference, but you can enjoy it, can't you?

Takashima: Although I have the idea of enjoying it, if I actually go to the scene, I will be very uneasy about whether I can do it well. Although from the final result, it may be the happy side that has the upper hand, but in fact, this time the distress is entangled in a lot of things. Through this work, I heard the stories of the atomic bomb victims for the first time, so I had to act seriously.

Kuroki: Did you go to Nagasaki?

Takashima: Although it is a location for the whole of Nagasaki, in fact, shooting in a place where "you can't normally shoot in a place like this", like the remains of a factory that makes torpedoes, is the most impressive. In the past, in other crews, it was a special episode about Mr. Poppe, the first person to establish a Western medical hospital in Japan, and at that time, he went to Nagasaki Medical University to shoot it. I listened to a lot of stories about the atomic bombing there, and also went to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Memorial Hall. These are all fates in the nameless.

Kuroki: Is it called?

Takashima: There is a feeling of being called.

Kuroki: As such an informative film, what kind of idea do you have for people to watch?

Takashima: Although it is a serious work, "if everyone works together, you can achieve results", as long as you can make everyone feel this eager idea. Then, with regard to the atomic bomb that was not written in the textbooks, if only everyone could have some understanding.

Kuroki: Starting in the fall of 2020, the film is expected to gradually be released nationwide in Japan.
