 The reasoning novel "When the curtain of prayer comes off" is the tenth work of the "Kyoichiro Kaga Series" by Keigo Higashino. This work will be turned into a movie and will be released in 2018. It is a series that hit "newcomers" on TV and movies and "Kirin's Tsubasa" in movies.

 

The original, released in 2013, won the 48th Eiji Yoshikawa Literature Prize in 2014.

 

This is a story in which a detective Kyoichiro Kaga working at Nihonbashi Station hunts down the criminal in Chuo-ku. This is a series that hunted down the criminals such as "newcomers" and "Kirin no Tsubasa", but I am looking forward to what kind of activities I will play this time.

It seems that shooting has already progressed considerably. Of course, the shooting location also includes Chuo-ku.

Actually, I also saw the filming site. I saw Hiroshi Abe on my back live. It's cool.

 

The cast is not only Kyoichiro Kaga, but also Hiroshi Abe, the partner is Junpei Yokomizo, and the characters this time are Nanako Matsushima, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Rena Tanaka, Fumiyo Kohinata, and Ran Ito.

In the past, some actors have attracted attention from this series, including Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, Tori Matsuzaka, and Masaki Sugata.

 

Some novels include Meijiza and sports centers. Other movies and actual scenery, such as stories of bridges related to Chuo-ku, are linked. Also, the director of this movie is Katsui Fukuzawa, the director of that "Naoki Hanzawa". I think it will be a fun movie. In Keigo Higashino's novel, there are works called "Mascarade Hotel" and "Mascarade Eve" modeled on the Royal Park Hotel, and some works related to Chuo-ku are expected to be visualized in the future.

 

Chuo-ku is a place where many TV and movies are filmed. As soon as you walk, there may be a famous person nearby.
