It’s been almost two years since Akasaka-sensei and Yokoyari-sensei entrusted me with adapting their precious original work into a live-action film.
Ryusuke Imoto
Every day I face my beloved Oshi no Ko head-on. Along with the excitement of creating something, I am also tormented by a terrible pressure that never seems to go away.
I even fantasize about being a fan of Oshi no Ko again, like the day I first read the original work.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of the cast, crew, and related people who have gathered here.
I would like to express my utmost gratitude to all of you for walking with me in the midst of great anxiety and pressure.
