■Joichiro Fujiwara (role of Takumi Sakashita) Comments
Q: It’s finally time to start playing, but how do you feel about actually playing the role of “Pride Everest Man, Takumi”?
I play the role of “Pride Everest Man,” and it’s the complete opposite of me, so it’s really fun to play. When I go to the set, I learn a lot of new things that are different from what I read in the script, so I think I’m also learning a lot about “Azatoi”!Q: Please tell us about the atmosphere and enthusiasm on the set.
As for my current condition, my heart is not broken! My leg is broken though… (lol)
There is a very good atmosphere at the scene. The actors and staff are working on the details on set while filming, and we are able to perform in a very open environment.
This time, unlike a normal drama, I was acting while also thinking about Yamasato-san and Suzuki-san’s “studio success”. The staff members also anticipate the reaction in the studio while filming, so I have a lot of trust in them. I think that in the future, we will also be able to notice a lot of the finer details of our roles by watching them actually being teased on air.
Although it’s a drama, I think it’s also a “love education program.” I think there’s a lot to learn, so be sure to learn “Azatoi” in 2025!■Fumiho Kato (role of Mei Sonoda) Comments
Q: It’s finally time to start working, but how do you feel about actually playing the role of “Awful ex-girlfriend Mei”?
Mei-chan, the character I play, is a “smart girl,” and even the members of Hinatazaka46 say, “I’ve never seen her so smart before.” She’s the complete opposite of me. So, I was having a hard time with Mei-chan’s “awkward” tricks, and yesterday I practiced “finger pickpockets” (lol).Q: Please tell us about the atmosphere and enthusiasm on the set.
At the filming location, the staff members talk to me a lot and I feel warm and happy. I would like to continue to communicate with Fujiwara-san and Tani-san as I continue to shoot with them.
The theme of the drama is real love, and I think there are many elements that will make it a buzz. While watching, I hope you will share your thoughts on social media.
I think the Mei-chan I play is a girl full of tsukkomi, so I’m looking forward to hearing what kind of comments I can get from Yamasato-san and Suzuki-san!■Maria Tani (as Asahi Okuyama) Comments
Q: It’s finally time to start playing, but how do you feel about actually playing the role of “Asahi, a mentally strong and resilient girl”?
I once again feel that Asahi is passionate about her work and always tries her best, and while I think she is cool and independent, there is also a part of me that is nervous about Asahi’s honest and positive behavior. In a sense, I’m having fun playing the role while thinking, “Maybe Asahi also has a “smart” side?”Q: Please tell us about the atmosphere and enthusiasm on the set.
Although I was later than Fujiwara-san and Kato-san, everyone was kind to me, so I was able to get started without feeling delayed!
So far, I’ve been doing a lot of scenes with Fujiwara-san, and even on set, we’ve been studying azato while talking together about things like, “What does ‘Azatoi’ mean?” and the differences between Asahi and Mei’s azato. (laughs)
Is there anything in common between our research results and the analysis of the difference between Asahi and Mei’s Azato by Mr. Yamasato and Airi of “Azato Pro”? I myself am looking forward to the broadcast and will do my best to film it. .
I believe that “Azatoi” is connected to self-love and leaves a mark on relationships with people. I hope everyone can find the definition of azatosa through this drama and use it as a weapon!
