This is the first time since Kitahara graduated from the group in April that he has played such an important role as a leading actor.

With the full support of toshimaen, a popular playground with a long history, more than 90% of the scenes in this game were filmed on location. Several friends who have been friends since high school came to "Toshimaen" to play.

The camera crew resolutely went to "Toshima-en" after closing the museum and surrounded by a strange atmosphere. Shooting in such a atmosphereous environment, such as the strange carousels emerging from the darkness, the haunted houses located in the depths of the park, etc., Kitahara unexpectedly calmed down: "The shooting is really interesting", and unexpectedly said, "Especially this time, I photographed the amusement park in the night when no one was around." I'm excited to shoot in a location I can't normally enter! ”
Even kitahara, a difficult performance with few lines and often needing to be played freely, is very enthusiastic. Director Hiroshi Takahashi, who directed the film, also praised her stable performance: "Kitahara can grasp the key points in an instant and give appropriate reactions to what kind of performance to pursue and how to express it through acting skills." With this natural acting skill, full of flexibility and invigorating pleasure, I think Kitahara is a malleable talent. It is worthy of being the person who once led NGT48. (Maringue)
