Kapanlagi.com - Actor Junior Roberts has once again been trusted to play the lead role in the film FIGHTING OVER A CORPSE. In this film, he plays Shoujiro, a man caught in a burial conflict due to the differing beliefs of his parents.
The filming process took place entirely in Japan, in a remote village. Junior spent about two weeks there to complete the shooting.
"The filming was a year ago, a long time ago. The location was fully in Japan," Junior revealed at XXI Epicentrum, South Jakarta, recently.
1. Very Cold
During the shoot, he experienced very cold temperatures, far more extreme than anything he had ever encountered before.
"Actually, it was really shocking because I had been to Japan, but the weather in Japan at that time wasn't as cold as the freezing temperatures I experienced during this shoot. I was already wearing 3-4 layers and still felt cold to the point where my hands and feet went numb," he revealed.
Aside from the weather challenges, he also had an interesting experience by seeing another side of Japan that not many people know about.
2. No Time to Sightsee

"The most interesting experience I had was probably seeing the temples in Japan and what they are like, entering a village that is truly authentic, with buildings that are still original and untouched," said Junior.
Even though he was in Japan, Junior admitted he didn't have time to go sightseeing due to a very tight shooting schedule. However, he did notice the difference in food there, which he felt had more sweet and salty flavors compared to the spicy food in Indonesia.
"For me, sometimes I just miss the spicy taste, because in Indonesia, spiciness is always present in every meal," he said.
