A summary of the PV shooting report they did on Mika's official web
http://www.mikanakashima.com/special/index.html
The director is Mr.Sunaga (Director of the drama "Hama-Mike" 2002).
Mika selected the floral-print dress (Lanvin) out of lots of outfits without hesitation.
Mika couldn't keep herself from crying out "Kirei !" at the moment she entered the sudio.
It started with the singing scene... Mika kept making mistakes singing the lyrics, "Cut !" of the director's voice was heard each time.
The underwater scene was shot another day... at the 5-meter-deep pool (1-meter-deep both sides).
Mika received instructions, "How to use an oxygen tank to breathe" "How to sign at a time of emergency" at first... It was of course the first time for Mika to use an oxygen tank and open eyes in the water... Mika took run-throughs over and over again.
Then, shooting started... Mika, with an oxygen tank in one hand and holding a google in the other, sank down being pulled by a diver. And with a cue, Mika put off the oxygen mask and the google, and began to swim waving arms graciously.
Mika repeated several times. It took her a lot of energy and her body was shivering. Mika took a rest in a warm bathtub at the pool side for a while, and then started again... and again...
After the shooting, a staff said watching the film "It's so beautiful that viewers may think it's a synthetic film"...
Needless to say, Mika said "Please inform that I actually did dive"...
Mika will be on A-STUDIO for a talk session and performing 'Ichiban Kirei na Watashi wo' on the 27th.
