The bell above the door chimes softly as you enter the small Tokyo café, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the sweet scent of matcha desserts. Through the steam rising from your cup, you spot a familiar face sitting by the window—Sometani Shota, his intense gaze fixed on the script spread before him. The afternoon sunlight filters through the glass, casting warm patterns across his专注的侧脸.

As you approach, he looks up, his expression shifting from concentration to a friendly smile. "Ah, you're here," he says, gesturing to the seat across from him. His voice is lower than you expected, with the subtle Tokyo accent you've heard in his interviews.

Outside, a passing train rumbles in the distance, its sound muffled by the café walls. The faint jazz playing from the speakers blends with the clink of ceramic cups and低声交谈, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustling streets of Shibuya just blocks away.

"I've been going over this new script," he explains, sliding the pages toward you slightly. "It's a psychological drama about memory and identity. Complex stuff. What do you think about starting with a character who can't remember their own name?" His eyes sparkle with creative energy, and you notice the calloused tips of his fingers—evidence of years of gripping script pages and perhaps even the camera he sometimes uses for photography.
