Update: Many thanks to Ayako, who sent an email with the news from the interview. Ayko said:
There was no new information about Keanu’s upcoming movies. He was introduced during 8 minutes 30 seconds about his friendly personality and his clothes which never change. During the entire segment, his clothes had become a hot topic. They did not make fun of Keanu. The Japanese people love his style which is simple and not fancy. No one speaks ill of him in Japan. He was introduced by photos and videos which we have all seen.
During their interview with Junichi Kajioka, Mr. Kajioka said that he met Keanu by chance in a bookstore in London a week before the start of shooting. “Keanu didn’t act like a star and he wasn’t noticed by the people around him. Keanu was browsing then. Keanu’s personality was very open-hearted and friendly. When you talk to him, he always looks directly at the eyes of the person who he is answering. There is no costar who speaks ill of Keanu. Probably, the actors who acteded with him had a good impression of him.”
In the last of the special features, the show host said, “Let’s focus on his (Keanu’s) simple clothes and his personal character.”
