Remarks : The location (which lasted for 2 days) of the drama was in Bourgogne in France. Akina loves wine! Akina enjoyed the location. The drama was also filmed in the store-house for wine in the basement. ( However, it is a rare case, since the store-house is sensitive to men's temperature.) After filming, Akina had some wine and cheese. Akina loved the newly made white wine. Akina stayed in a hotel into which an old monastery was converted. In Bourgogne, the weather was quite good and it was hot. When Akina and her staff were staying at the side of a pool in the hotel, they bathed in perspiration. Akina was repeatedly saying that she should have brought her swimming suit. The drama was also filmed in Paris, but when Akina and her staff came to Paris they were surprised at the temperature difference between Bourgogne and Paris (25 centigrade!!).Staff bought some down jackets, but Akina didn't. She wore her jean jacket because she's not so sensitive to the cold. In Paris Akina enjoyed shopping. She bought some clothes with the smallest size. According to Akina, clothes with the smallest size in France fit her. Akina says that in Japan she can't find clothes which fit her. They are too big.
