Perfume: "Cold Sleep" -25 Years Document- Stage greeting and Q&A with Director Sado at kino cinéma Shinjuku 2026.08.08

Q: This question has come up several times, but are there any scenes that you really wanted to include in the movie but ultimately had to cut?

Director Taketoshi Sado: That question has come up a few times. Since this is your first time participating in one of these events, I'm just happy that you came here, so...

There were quite a lot of things from old footage that we couldn't incorporate anymore, such as footage from Sunstreet and Ishimaru Denki.

For example, during the Sunstreet days, there was a scene I really wanted to include where they were singing "Do-Re-Mi" while changing microphones.

But because of the running time, we had to leave it out. I really wanted you to see that, so I'd like you to see it someday.

It will open in major theaters first, with more to follow 🙌🏻

This film will be released sequentially in theaters throughout Taiwan, including major theaters such as Vieshow Cinemas, Century Asia Cinemas, Ace Cinemas Taichung, and SPOT Huashan Cinema Taipei.

🎬 Release Date (Taiwan)

9/24 (Thu)

Q: During the movie, are the labels peeled off the plastic bottles on purpose?

Director Sado: At MUSIC JAPAN, let's make a quiz out of what the three members were like during the MC (talk segment).

Who is the most dependable?

(The audience votes by raising their hands.)

A-chan: Not many votes.

Kashiyuka: Lots of votes.

Nocchi: More than A-chan.

Director Sado: The correct answer is... drumroll... Nocchi!

Everyone thought it would be Kashiyuka.

The reason is this: during recording, if the conversation keeps going when we need to move on, we hold up a cue card. But Nocchi, without even thinking about it, will immediately say, "Okay! Let's continue!" laughs

That little "Okay!" is actually very important—it becomes an editing point for us.

We're really grateful for it.

As for Kashiyuka, she remembers what's in the script, so if we skip over something that was written and move on to the next topic, she'll notice and say,

"Wait, we haven't talked about that topic yet, have we?"

She's someone we can rely on for that.

The other one... (meaning A-chan, laughs) ...gets nervous.

Q: Where was the final farewell scene filmed? (The homework question from last time.) A: It was PLASMA! As for the location… "Where they were filming the footage…" (Someone in the audience shouted, "Saitama!")

Director Sado Q&A "Cold Sleep" Stage Greeting 2026.06.21

I’m a fan of "that person." Why didn't he appear on screen? Is that his voice I hear?
