Question from Readers:
There will be a stage greeting for the movie “Kakukaku Shikajika” on May 16, and I’m curious if Nagano Mei will adopt the brusque greeting style of her senior at the agency, Sawajiri Erika, standing on stage with crossed arms and a sulky expression. Will she respond with a disinterested “Not really…” or say “Nothing in particular” when
asked about memorable scenes? Is this approach aimed at creating buzz or perhaps a transformation from her pure image?
The Movie “Kakukaku Shikajika” and Nagano Mei’s Stage Greeting
Recently, the stage greeting for the movie “Kakukaku Shikajika” has become a hot topic. Especially intriguing is how Nagano Mei will greet the audience, inspired by her senior, Sawajiri Erika. Imagining her taking a brusque attitude on stage with a sulky expression evokes some amusing scenarios.
Memories of Stage Greetings
I actually attended a movie stage greeting once. The moment the actors appeared, I felt the audience’s excitement soar. I vividly remember one actor saying, “Not really anything special,” which instantly silenced the room. Everyone laughed at the reaction, but it was also a moment that highlighted the actor’s character. I can’t say for sure if Nagano Mei will act in a similar way, but I believe her charm lies in her purity. I worry that if she imitates Erika’s brusque style, it might overshadow her own appeal.
Fan Reactions
As mentioned in the comments, I was a bit surprised by the opinion that “she’s neither as young nor as beautiful as Erika.” Indeed, Sawajiri Erika has a unique presence, but I believe Nagano Mei has her own distinctive charm. Whether she is aiming for a transformation from her pure image remains uncertain, but fans are undoubtedly watching her growth with anticipation. When I attend stage greetings, I usually make it a habit to arrive a bit early. I enjoy using that time to chat with fellow fans and engage in discussions about the movie. Recently, I’ve found myself feeling a bit uncomfortable from overeating popcorn, but I consider that part of the movie experience.
In Conclusion
I’m looking forward to seeing how Nagano Mei’s stage greeting will turn out. I can’t wait to see how she presents herself to her fans. If anyone has memories or episodes from movie stage greetings or premieres, please share them in the comments. I’d love to hear about your experiences, no matter how small!
