Exploring Singapore with Masami Nagasawa

She is the cold-hearted Kobayashi Anna in 'Detective Chinatown 3', the kind and weak Michiru in 'Last Friends', and the quirky and cunning Dako in 'The Confidence Man JP'. Known as Japan's national goddess, she is also affectionately called 'Majiang'. That's right, she is the versatile Masami Nagasawa.

If you ask Masami Nagasawa where she most wants to travel in 2020, the answer might be—Singapore!

The lively Lunar New Year movie 'Detective Chinatown 3' once again amazed audiences with Masami Nagasawa's acting. In fact, she has another spirited film—'The Confidence Man JP'. In the 2020 special 'Princess Chapter', the destination that captivated her was Singapore. Mansions, beaches, and the Merlion statue outline the contours of Singapore, also shaping the trio's unreserved adventure.

Let us follow in Majiang's footsteps to experience the enchanting charm of Singapore.
