In "Matching", starring Taiho Tsuchiya and co-starring Daisuke Sakuma with Snow Man, four scenes of the protagonist Waka (played by Tsuchiya) being chased by a stalker and getting involved in the incident are revealed.
This work is a completely original work by Eiji Uchida, the director of "Midnight Swan" and "Silent Love". It depicts the horror of the "traps" set behind the ever-increasing number of "encounters" through matching apps. Tsuchiya plays Waka, a wedding planner who has no sense of love. In this work, Sakuma will appear solo in a live-action film for the first time, and he will play the role of "crazy stalker" Fujitake Nagayama, who is paired with Rika through the app, while Nobuaki Kaneko plays Tsuyoshi Kageyama. The programmers who match the company that runs the app have feelings for Rika. In addition, the cast also includes Tetsuta Sugimoto, Moemi Katayama, Matobi Saint, Goto Tsuyotoku, Reiko Kataoka, Yuki Saito, etc.
After being recommended by a colleague, Waka reluctantly started using the matching app. In the scene**, he can be seen drinking with his father (Sugimoto) at an izakaya after work, and his frightened expression when Tomu comes to his house. Worried about being relentlessly pursued by Tobu, Waka asks Kageyama for advice, and he can see that he is relieved. There is also a scene where she is crying as she is being held by the police, making us wonder what happened to her.
After an accidental match on the app, Linka is hunted by a stalker and becomes embroiled in a serial ** case involving the app. Director Uchida said, "I think Tsuchiya has played a lot of innocent roles, but this time I asked him to play a character who lacks independence and self-confidence but gradually becomes stronger. There are movements, and there are some original expressions. "They put a lot of effort into the suspenseful screams in Western films, and I think we were able to see a new side to him. He said we are seeing new areas for Tsuchiya.
