Why it matters

The off-shots are the first look at the cast as a group before the December 25 opening, and Makita's account of shooting them frames the set as one she joined as an outsider.

Key Facts

  • BYE BYE LOVE The Detective Is in the Bar opens December 25.
  • Yo Oizumi and Ryuhei Matsuda star in the film, with Kazuya Shiraishi directing.
  • Aju Makita plays Akemi and shot most of the eight released off-shots on a film camera.
  • The series is based on Naoki Higashino's Susukino Detective Series and is set in Sapporo's Susukino district.
  • Kyoka Suzuki plays Junko, a woman the detective once loved who holds the key to the story.

Most were shot on film by Aju Makita, who plays Akemi. The photos show the cast between takes, including Oizumi and Matsuda together, Matsuda with Makita, and director Kazuya Shiraishi.

The film is the fourth in the series, adapted from Naoki Higashino's Susukino Detective Series and set in Sapporo's Susukino district. Kazuya Shiraishi directs, and Ryota Furusawa wrote the script after handling every film in the series. Kyoka Suzuki plays Junko, a woman the detective once loved who holds the key to the story, and Makita plays Akemi.

Makita said she was worried about pointing a camera at such distinguished cast members, then found they posed for her and looked for angles together. The eight photos include a shot of Makita with Oizumi and Matsuda, a rarer one of Matsuda and Makita, Oizumi with a sharp gaze, and the actor Magee as Gen-chan alongside Shiraishi.
