■ Comment from Ichita Inoue
I’m quite nervous as this is my first time appearing in a drama, but I hope to be able to fully demonstrate the acting skills I’ve honed on stage!
Everyone, enjoy “Younger Boyfriend 2” and have your heart flutter!

■ Comment from Tsukasa Iwakura
I did my best in my first drama appearance!
I’ve been playing soccer since I was little, and was also in the soccer club in junior high school, so I think acting in soccer roles comes naturally to me.
I would love for as many people as possible to watch this story about soccer and youth!

Comment from Yumeto Oka
I was very happy when I heard that I would be appearing in “Younger Boyfriend 2”. It was my first time, so I was very nervous and it was difficult. I did my best while getting advice from the director. I hope that many people will support Keiji’s love!

■ Comment from Sora Ota
I was so happy to be able to audition for “Younger Boyfriend,” which I had watched before joining the agency! I gave it my all, with the feeling that “I definitely want to appear!” I will do my best to bring out freshness and energy and liven up the show! I hope I can help bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
