Actress Nao Matsushita visits digital art exhibit ahead of new drama

Actress Nao Matsushita visited the Lumiere series digital art exhibition at Tokyo Dream Park in Koto Ward to find relief from a busy filming schedule ^[1].

The visit highlights the mental toll of high-pressure television productions and the growing trend of using immersive art for professional decompression in Japan.

Matsushita spent time exploring the exhibit, which features the works of Vincent van Gogh ^[1]. She said the experience provided a necessary mental break from her current work environment. "Since I am in an interrogation room or at a crime scene every day, coming to a place like this was truly healing and looked brilliant," Matsushita said ^[1].

The actress used the outing to transition back into her professional duties. "Therefore, I want to chase after criminals again starting tomorrow," Matsushita said ^[1].

Beyond her visit to the art gallery, Matsushita announced her role in an upcoming television project. She will appear as one of the triple leads in the TV Asahi drama "Great Pursuit: Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Violent Crime Unit — Season 2" ^[1].

The series is scheduled to begin broadcasting on July 22 ^[1]. According to the network, the drama will air on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ^[1].

Matsushita encouraged the public to visit the Lumiere series to experience the intersection of technology, and classic art. "I thought it would be good to enrich the heart with art this summer, and I hope many people will experience this space," Matsushita said ^[1].
