A preview screening of the film "Imaginary Office Lady Diary" (directed by Takashi Sumida, scheduled for release on February 28th), written, produced, and starring comedian Bakarhythm, was held in Tokyo on February 4th. Bakarhythm, along with Kaho, Asami Usuda, Rei Sato, Maho Yamada, Touko Miura, Shim Eun-kyung, Maki Sakai, and director Sumida, made an appearance. This marks the first time the cast has reunited in three years since the drama series aired from April to June 2017. On meeting each other again after such a long time, Kaho said, "It was a bit awkward at first. We got along well, but it was like we were feeling each other out." Usuda also revealed that it was an awkward reunion, saying, "Once I put on my company uniform and started acting, I was back to normal in no time, but up until then I was still a bit embarrassed and had to check what kind of mood I was in when I was talking to her." Sakai, a new cast member who appeared in the film, was apparently a fan of the series, and expressed some anxiety, saying, "I loved it, so I was worried that my actions might make it less interesting..." However, once filming began, he said, "It was really fun. I was happy that everyone was just like in the drama." Bakarhythm then explained that the name Maki, played by Kaho, "was taken from the 'Maki' in Sakai Maki's name. It was based on the public image of Sakai Maki back when she was writing her blog. So I was happy and deeply moved that Sakai was appearing in the film." "Imaginary Office Lady Diary" is an online blog that Bakarhythm wrote about for three years from 2006, in which he pretended to be a female office worker and wrote about her daily life. It was later made into a book, a TV drama series, and now a movie. Bakarhythm, the author of the original work, said with a sigh, "It feels like a dream." He continued, "Filming was fun even when it was the drama, and we all had fun eating bento lunches and spending our free time together. The movie is the main story, but it's like a making-of, so there's no difference between the main story and the free time. And people paid money to come and see it... thank you!"
