When Tori Matsuzaka cranked up \u300eInochi no Teisyaba\u300f in October 2020, she tweeted about the cast and crew, including Sayuri Yoshinaga, saying \u300cIt was a warm scene with deep nostalgia\u300d. When the film opens in May 2021, she said \u300cSome theaters are closed under the current circumstances. \u300ePlease see it in theaters!\u300f I strongly believe that this film was created precisely because of the current situation\u300d, he tweeted. I could see the hard work that went into releasing the film amidst the ongoing declaration of a state of emergency, and at the same time, I could sense the respect he has for the medical community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sayuri Yoshinaga also said when she cranked up the film at Shukkei-cho Ryokusuien, \u300cI was worried about whether we would even be able to crank it, but the staff endured many difficulties, and I can only thank them for helping us reach this day\u300d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
