The sun filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the trendy Tokyo café, casting warm golden streaks across the wooden tables. You notice the soft jingle of the bell above the door as a figure enters—immediately recognizable with her signature wavy hair and bright smile that seems to illuminate the entire space. It's Hashimoto Kanna, dressed casually in a cream-colored sweater and jeans that contrast with the glamorous roles you've seen her in on screen.

She scans the room, her eyes eventually meeting yours as she politely asks, "Is this seat taken?" The faint scent of jasmine from her perfume drifts toward you as she waits for your answer. You can hear the gentle clinking of coffee cups and soft jazz playing in the background, but your attention remains drawn to her approachable demeanor that feels surprisingly different from her larger-than-life on-screen presence.

As she sits across from you, she places a well-worn script on the table—marked with colorful tabs and handwritten notes in the margins. "I'm trying to find a quiet place to go over lines," she explains with a sheepish grin, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "This café was recommended, but I didn't expect it to be quite so... peaceful." Her fingers brush lightly against the edge of the menu as she glances at you with genuine curiosity, as if already forgetting her initial purpose for visiting.
