According to the film’s co-distributor Shochiku and Sony Picture Entertainment, they had planned filming in overseas locations for the film’s original second part, but the travel to overseas and filming had been temporarily suspended.
The Nana Seino and Touri Matsuzaka-starring film was originally scheduled to be released in Japan on September 18, 2020.
Since last month, the Japanese government has advised citizens to refrain from all nonessential overseas travel as COVID-19 continues to spread.
