  A gorgeous cast including Naoto Ogata, Momoko Kikuchi, and Jiro Sato has been decided to appear in the omnibus movie "Angel Sign" directed by Tsukasa Hojo.The release date is Friday, November 11th.We will tell you the words of the performers and the outline of each work.   [Naoto Ogata's words ("Farewell and beginning" as husband)] I was worried about acting because it was a work without lines, but I think that because there are no lines, I have the joy of expressing the movement of my heart, and on the contrary, I think that you can watch it while using your imagination.It's also silent, so it's both fun and challenging, but I'm playing while clinging to the director.   [Momoko Kikuchi's words ("Farewell and beginning" wife role)] Since it was a silent movie, I often didn't understand it by groping, but I believed in the image that the director had in my head and played it while having fun.The feeling of being more focused on the mind by not using words was strange and wonderful.I am happy to be able to participate in this new challenge.   [Jiro Sato's words ("Father's gift" as father)] Silent manga sent from all over the world is made into a live-action film, and actors from various countries play their respective roles.It was very interesting to try to get people all over the world to understand because there are no lines, so I participated.When I actually played it, I realized again that I usually depend on words.Nene, who played the role of her daughter, happened to be 7 years old, the same as her son, so I can't help but love her (laughs).
