“ALWAYS 3″ cast reflects on the past seven years
On January 21st, the final installment in the “ALWAYS” trilogy, “ALWAYS San-chome no Yuhi ‘64“, opened nation-wide on 473 screens.
As usual, there was a stage greeting held at a cinema in Tokyo in order to celebrate the opening, which was attended by the main cast members like Yoshioka Hidetaka, Tsutsumi Shinichi, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Horikita Maki, Miura Tomokazu, Moriyama Mirai, and Suga Kenta, as well as the director, Yamazaki Takashi.
“ALWAYS San-chome no Yuhi ‘64” (English title: “Always: Sunset on Third Street 3“) will continue to depict the lives of the residents of Third Street in Tokyo, but this time, the story is set in 1964. The Olympics are set to take place in Tokyo and the country has experienced a period of rapid economic growth.
Horikita, who wasn’t much older than the 15 year-old ‘Mutsuko’ when she slipped into her role for the first time seven years ago, used the event to once again thank everyone involved in the trilogy. “Just like ‘Mutsuko’, I started working around the age of 15 and we’ve experienced various things at the same time. This time she is getting married, which is actually something I haven’t yet experienced in my life. It was a confusing sensation, but thanks to everyone I was able to perform it well and experience a very precious time with all of them.”
