Watch The Flames Burn

Ishii said Machida's hair and make up was very delicate (in the opening scene), and Takeuchi asked if he does hair and makeup when he's very busy, Machida said yes. Takeuchi said he can start a youtube channel lol

Ishii and Machida said it was hard walking down the stairs

Takeuchi said the necklace or bracelets worn by Suzuki seem like old Cartier from around 100 years ago, probably around 15,000,000 yen (almost 10k USD??)

Doi had diarrhea when they filmed the opening dances (which Takeuchi remembered as being on 12/28 last year!), but the rest could not tell 

They intended for Aki to carry Suzuki's stuff as well, and everyone said he's the worst haha. When asked if it was actually heavy inside, Doi said "a little"

Everyone else said Ishii was so scary as Fusako quietly sitting there while Sugiki talked, Ishii laughed

They did not intend to take the confrontation scene outside originally, but Otomo rolled with it

Takeuchi said he doesn't go clubbing since he's not good with that sort of thing

The hungover scene (where Aki went over to kick the girls out) was all ad-libbed!

Doi pointed out the different temperatures that Aki and Suzuki are dressed for. They filmed this in December, so Doi felt goosebumps just looking at this scene

They commented on Aki putting on her sunglasses (at night) after saying Fusako is scary, calling it her protective armor

Machida said most of the first dance lesson scene was ad-libbed 

Everyone cheered when Suzuki took his shirt off and commented on Fusako's expression, hahaha

Takeuchi asked what happened after Fusako walked away, and Ishii and Doi said Aki caught up to her and rode the escalator together to take the train

Machida called Suzuki technologically illiterate (when he couldn't play music), glad he thought the same as me!

Takeuchi said he wasn't acting during the princess waltz, and that standing by himself really was as tough as it looked

Everyone laughed at Suzuki's reaction to "did you feel like a princess", Machida said he likes that expression

Suzuki's "I like it, tastes like curry" was ad-libbed

The Cuban dance party was Doi's favorite scene

Apparently Takeuchi got a present from Netflix which was Cuban rum from 1962 (before the revolution), but he didn't bring it. Machida said it would've been nice to have it for the watch party

Takeuchi said Suzuki showing off the caller to Aki probably wasn't in the script

Takeuchi said he was the last to return from England during shooting, and the weather had been very good until his last day where it was windy and snowing, so everyone went home in a good mood while he was stuck in the cold

Takeuchi said he really liked the waltz scene, and also the water they drank afterward was delicious (Doi agreed)

Otomo decided to let them talk on separate floors, since it felt too personal and they (the characters) would get embarrassed. Machida said "like Romeo and Juliet" (so Sugiki is the Juliet at the balcony?)

Takeuchi really liked it when Sugiki said "take a break" after the tango, and wants a T-shirt with that face on it. The cast said some faces and lines can be used as stickers as well 

Takeuchi said he practiced the Spanish lines with the actor for the bartender (Jordy Miwa, who's also posted BTS pictures on his Instagram) when they went out to eat beforehand. Machida said he should've done that with Martha

Machida said that the lights were like the illuminations in England, and Doi said maybe Sugiki got reminded of that during that scene

Doi said it would be scary if there was a man (Sugiki dancing on his own) like this during Christmas

They kept calling Suzuki finding Sugiki dancing alone a "Christmas miracle"

Takeuchi said the bar scene with Sugiki's secret is his favorite "flow" in the movie, and his favorite scene was Sugiki dressing Fusako up (he did not think "Fuego" would be playing in this scene), and cheered when Sugiki said "you wanna know how I made her dance?", he got goosebumps every time

The scene where Suzuki says "that's lame" to Sugiki was different from the script

They said the kiss scene was taken around 3-4 times (I didn't understand the subtitles completely), and they really were filming while the train was moving, about 2-3 minutes between each station 

The piece of green decor wrapping them together was not planned, "a miracle" as Takeuchi called it

The cast said Sugiki had found his angel 

Takeuchi wondered where Sugiki lived, since he ran onto the train, and everyone was laughing. Machida said they could've gotten off together

Machida said in the script, they made the phone call while both were on the train

They filmed in Blackpool for two weeks

They chuckled at Suzuki's sulky nod on the bed, saying that his expression is like a child, and they laughed and Doi asked why Sugiki made the bed for him

They said that Giulio and Fusako would've done the honor dance together as well, and Ishii chuckled asking "You're interested?"

They complimented Nadiya's (who played Liana) neck muscles, Takeuchi asking what do to for it to look like that

They said the Blackpool illuminations were already there during filming, and Doi said it links this scene and the train scene together

Takeuchi said the lines for the bedroom scene were changed slightly

Doi confirmed that Aki and Fusako went out to drink

Doi started laughing during the makeout scene because she met Ishii's eyes without thinking

Machida and Takeuchi said that scene was done about 3-4 times

In an earlier draft of the script, Suzuki was going to jump off the bridge (NAKED) into the sea after the break up scene, but after how that scene turned out, they thought that that was enough

Aki and Suzuki's embracing scene was completely different from the script and was changed by Otomo on the spot

Takeuchi had a fever on the day they filmed the scene in the boutique, noticed only by the make up artist. He kept it a secret from everyone including Doi. She said they kept practicing after shooting that, and he said that once his blood started moving, his fever went away

When Suzuki looks in the mirror during his hold, Machida joked that he saw Martha Milton 

Machida only went in for a little while to shoot that shot, so the two did not talk a lot that day. He was like a ghost, coming in then saying "good work today" and leaving

Takeuchi asked what ranking they got in the final competition, and Doi confirmed it was third place

Machida liked the line "I want move the audience like that every time"

Machida was sure that Sugiki asking Suzuki for the honor dance had to be Fusako's arrangement

Takeuchi revealed that Suzuki kissed the ring as a gesture to call Sugiki

Takeuchi throwing away his medal was not planned

Takeuchi said the footwork for the tango was very difficult

Machida's favorite was the slow foxtrot

Takeuchi wondered why he took his shirt off for the paso doble

Ishii said they could only practice the Viennese waltz once 

Machida said the last extra peck was ad-libbed
