■Asaka Seto comment
My name is Asaka Seto and I will be playing the role of Shoko.
This will be his first appearance in a serial drama in about seven years. When I heard your story,
Since I am playing the role of a mother, I am also in the middle of raising a child.
I felt that there were many parts that I could sympathize with, and I wanted to play this role.
I came first. Because he loves his daughter, he becomes overly involved,
I tend to force my thoughts on her, but I can relate to that aspect as well.
I am very happy to be co-starring with Haruna Kawaguchi, who plays my daughter, for the first time.
It has only been a while since we started filming, but we wanted to portray a wonderful parent-child relationship.
I would like to have fun while taking pictures.■Ken Mitsuishi comment
When I saw the cast list, I realized that I was a member of this wonderful cast and staff.
I’m really happy and happy that I was included!
And I’m really honored to play the role of Yagi-san’s husband.
From the first day on set, we’ve had a real family-like atmosphere, and we’re having fun!
It goes beyond the framework of “Legal Love Story”.
This work is filled with human drama full of ups and downs.
It’s filled with the staff’s commitment and the actors’ subtleties! Don’t miss it!■Akiko Yagi comment
When I was approached, I was so happy that I was honored to be Ken Mitsuishi’s wife.
When I met him, he warmly embraced my family, and we just shot for one day.
I felt sad that I wouldn’t be able to see my family until the next shoot.
I hope that the viewers will become a family that feels the same way.
However, it’s not always easy…■Kaon comment
I will be appearing as Rin Madohara!
When I first received the script for “Ensemble,” I thought, more than just common words,
I felt that it was a very nice and warm story about how love is shown through actions.
I was very nervous on the day of crank-in, but everyone, including the cast,
The director and film crew were all very kind and passionate on set.
Even in the cold winter, I am working hard to shoot with a warm heart!
I would like to do my best to play the role of Rin, who is a big brother who values her family.
