On that day, they were intend to shoot the climax scene, in which Ken and Sayuri have a scene having about 20 horses running around. Because of the rain and muddy place, they decided to cancel the shooting.
In the middle of this month when Sayuri had the first horse-riding scene in this film, (after an interval of 8 years), Ken showed his support to her. Ken dressed like a stabler and came to the location and gave advise to her.
There is a scene of separation of Ken and Sayuri, in which Sayuri felt so lonely just as if Ken was going to somewhere. Then Sayuri ran up to Ken and clung to him in spite of herself after the call of "CUT".
The shooting continues until the middle of July. The film is suppose to be open to the public on January 15 next year.
