Kitagawa Keiko said: “I played the role of Kai Yuanko, a screen actress who was active in the so-called "Golden Age of Movies" (1950-60s). She played a gorgeous but very ordinary role in Yi. On the basis of this, I asked Director Yamada, who had experienced the era of the photography agency, about the unique manners and atmosphere of screen actresses. At that time, the staff and actresses spent time together in the studio all day, as close as family. I was surprised at the thought that I could participate in the work of the great director Yamada. The director’s live performances are always convincing, and the atmosphere of the shooting changes all at once, which left a very deep impression on me."
