allkpop



21-year-old actress Naka Riisa, best known for last year's role as ZEBRA QUEEN in "Zebraman 2" and the subsequent release of a single "NAMIDA ~Kokoro Abaite~" as the character, will be taking up the role of a pregnant woman in her latest movie. "Hara ga Kore Nande" is written by director Ishii Yuya, who recently won a Blue Ribbon Award on February 15th under the category of best director.

Last year, the films "Zebraman -Zebra City no Gyakushu-" and "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo" ("The Girl Who Leapt Through Time") enabled Naka Riisa to breakthrough and become noticed, and there's no doubt this upcoming and challenging role will help make the effect last.

"Hara ga Kore Nande" is a movie with a positive message that is meant to inspire pregnant women, no matter the situation they might be in, with a prevalent theme of going at one's own pace.

In the movie, the father of the child is unknown, and even with critical situations such as issues with property, Naka's character helps others, promoting the role of "women heroes".

Naka was asked about the movie and responded with confidence: "It's really tough for pregnant women, but they must not lose the positive aspects. I think this work shows that very well."

"A timeless work... to live in a positive way and to live by speaking what's on your mind, even if what comes out is embarrassing, just facing forward and living anyway. That's what I wanted to film," said Ishii about his upcoming work. "I want to bring out the theme is Japanese beauty and chic."

Naka was given the weight of 15 kilos around her waist to experience the ways of a pregnant woman. Now that it is over, the actress feels a sense of accomplishment for tackling a role that was foreign to her.

"Up until now, especially with long lines, it was hard to let them out. Now, I think I was thinking too much about it. This time it was more reckless."

The film is expected to be out in theatres across Japan this fall.
