The day after Osugi Ren’s death, the cast of “By Players” and the staff were shocked because the day before, Osugi Ren was laughing along with his fellow cast members and showed no problems with his health.

Later on the day, the cast went to dinner but when they returned, Osugi started to have chest pains and was taken to the hospital where he would die hours later of a heart attack.

On February 20th, while shooting the fifth episode of “By Players” in Chiba, everyone talked about how they were in laughter and it’s a memory that each will remember of Osugi.  And that photo of all of them laughing was released to the media.

Shooting was resumed for “By Players” with Osugi’s final appearance to be aired on TV Tokyo on March 7th.
