SkyGarden’s Ryo Nagatsuka helped Barbie Forteza, Sanya Lopez record Japanese song for ‘Pulang Araw’

SkyGarden's Ryo Nagatsuka shared a behind-the-scenes video from one of his Japanese coaching sessions with Barbie Forteza and Sanya Lopez for “Pulang Araw.”

In the video Ryo uploaded on TikTok, he can be seen guiding the actresses as they recorded the song their characters performed in the series for the Japanese Imperial Army.

“Japanese Coach mode of Pulang Araw with Ms. Barbie & Ms. Sanya,” Ryo wrote in the caption.

Aside from being one of the Japanese language coaches in the Kapuso series, Ryo also plays the role of a Japanese immigrant in the Philippines who helped Eduardo (Alden Richards) after he was beaten and left in a forest.

Ryo formed the Japanese trio SkyGarden together with Hiro and Iwa. They are content creators and also record songs, like "Kokoa" and "Historia."

Meanwhile, “Pulang Araw” traces the intertwined lives of four childhood friends: Adelina (Barbie), Teresita (Sanya Lopez), Hiroshi (David Licauco), and Eduardo (Alden). As war ravages their homeland and Japanese forces occupy the Philippines, their dreams, friendships, and loyalties are tested, leading them on a journey of self-discovery and resilience.

The Kapuso series airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." It is also streaming on Netflix.
