Nagase expressed his excitement and pressure in taking on this role, emphasizing the film's universal theme of love amidst adversity.
"From the moment I first read the script, I was totally drawn to the sense of tenderness and fragility. The literal ticking clocks of the characters’ respective illnesses make their nascent feelings for each other all the more precious, and I tried to focus hard on capturing the single-minded devotion Akito has for Haruna."
"Drawing Closer" is set to premiere worldwide on Netflix in 2024.
