10 recommended movies starring Kento Hayashi! The extraordinary gap between accomplished acting and immature “boyishness”
Recommended movies starring Kento Hayashi (2009-2010)
3. “The wind is blowing strongly” (09)
Hayashi showed off his high athleticism with his performances in ``Battery'' and ``DIVE!!''. ``The Wind is Blowing Strongly'' concludes his ``sports trilogy.''
The film is based on a youth sports novel with the theme of relay races written by Shion Miura, a popular author who has been made into many films, including ``Knitting a Boat.'' This film depicts, through laughter and tears, the story of a small university track and field team practicing hard to compete in the Hakone Ekiden.
Hayashi played a serious character who has exceptional running ability, but who has been involved in violent incidents in the past. He had a stoic personality, but as he worked hard with his friends, he began to realize the sense of responsibility that is unique to relay races: ``connection'' and ``entrustment.''
Hayashi, who has tried different events such as baseball, diving, and relay races, sprinted from the beginning, perfectly embodying the genius of a runner. It is also noteworthy that in the one year since ``DIVE!!'', he has grown to the point where he doesn't feel out of place playing the role of a college student.

4. "Parade" (10)
Another feature of Hayashi is that he often appears in the film adaptations of popular writers' works. Shuichi Yoshida, known for ``Akujin'', ``Yokomichi Yonosuke'', and ``Rage'', played a key role in this shocking work based on the original work.
Four men and women share a room in Tokyo. One day, a young prostitute (Hayashi) suddenly moves in and blends into their communal life... This is a profound book that gently depicts the turning points in each person's life, the small incidents, and the friendship between the housemates, while also becoming darker and darker.
Directed by Isao Yukisada, this film features a star-studded cast including Tatsuya Fujiwara, Karina, Shihori Kanjiya, and Keisuke Koide. Hayashi has an air of mystery that makes it difficult to read his true intentions, and he is adept at taking on the role of seeing things from a bird's-eye view and causing ripples.
With her hair dyed blonde and the way she walks unsteadily and somewhat pessimistic, she is completely different from the appearance she has shown in her previous appearances. The destructive power of the technique of ``stabbing with lines'' such as ``Then, it's just a superficial relationship'' and ``I think everyone already knows this'' is enormous.
