Full comment from Shun Oguri as Ren Serizawa

I went to the Hollywood movie ・・・・ with a lot of curiosity.
But as time went by, I was convinced that it was indeed a great movie in terms of the size of the operation, the scale of the sets, the number of staff involved in the filming, and the ample amount of time spent shooting the scenes. I was overwhelmed by the power of Major League Baseball. As I sat on the huge set, I felt that the sheer size of the world inspired and empowered the actors, and I became immersed in the filming.
I think we had good communication with director Adam as we went through many takes and tried different ways of expressing ourselves through acting. The finished film is so powerful and full of ideas that you wonder how they could think of such a thing. I think you will enjoy the overwhelming entertainment value of this film, so please wait for it with anticipation!
I am sure you will enjoy this overwhelmingly entertaining work.
