■”I can’t tell you the details yet, but I flew (lol)! Hijiri is flying, so please pay attention.” (Kaito Miyachika)

TV Asahi’s Oshidora Saturday “Honno Switch” will start at 11:00 PM on January 11th.

This work is based on the KUJIRA comic of the same name, which has sold over 780,000 copies (paper and electronic), and is a story of childhood friends played by Sei Akiyama, played by Kaito Miyachika (Travis Japan), and Kowa Hoshi, played by Wakana Aoi. Pure love story.

Sei Akiyama (Miyachika) and Kowa Hoshi (Aoi) have been childhood friends since before they could remember. Even now as adults, the two remain close friends, but the night Kowa was cheated on by her boyfriend Sosuke Yoshida (Junki Totsuka), who is also a co-worker, he ended up dumping her and they ended up drinking alcohol. The next morning, when I woke up, I found myself sleeping in the same bed, almost naked… The first episode opens with such a shocking scene.

Up until now, Kowa has kept his feelings sealed away for fear that even if they were to become lovers, they would break up and become distant, maintaining the “closest and safest position” of his childhood friend. upset. He tries to pretend that the night they spent together never happened, but Hijiri is the exact opposite… “I love you, Kowa,” he says, honestly confessing the feelings he’s kept hidden in his heart.

Kowa’s head is filled with Hijiri’s honest feelings, and the faint love that he had kept hidden deep in his heart is shaken. However, for some reason, she can’t be honest in front of Hijiri…

Hijiri and Kowa’s “belated first love” has finally begun to move forward. What will happen to their love as they become adults?

■The sound source of the theme song “Say I do” sung by Travis Japan will be released for the first time on tonight’s broadcast!
I’m curious to see how the relationship between Hijiri and Kowa, two childhood friends, will change, but on the first broadcast on January 11th, the theme song of this work “Say I do” (Capitol Records / Universal) sung by Travis Japan will be played. Music Japan) sound source has also been released for the first time. A straightforward love song with passionate lyrics that is directly conveyed, colors the “childhood friend love” woven by Hijiri and Kowa.

Also pay attention to the songs that are close to the pure first love of the two, who are finally starting to move on.

■Comment from Kaito Miyachika (played by Hijiri Akiyama)
The first broadcast is finally tonight. I haven’t seen the completed version yet, so I don’t know what will happen, but I’m also looking forward to it. But I think there’s a lot to see in just one episode. Some scenes have already been seen in teasers, etc., but I would be happy if everyone could learn how those scenes came to be. The highlight…I can’t go into details yet, but I flew (lol)! Holy is flying, so please pay attention.
You can also hear the theme song for the first time on this broadcast. It’s a song that will liven up “Honnou Switch,” so please look forward to it. Look forward to the fun-filled first broadcast!

■Wakana Aoi (Kowa Hoshi) Comment
I’ve talked a lot about this kind of drama in press conferences and interviews so far, but I haven’t seen the finished version yet. That’s why I’m nervous because I don’t know if it’s working that way. I would like to watch it together with all the viewers as if it were for the first time.
I think the first episode is a really eventful development. There are many key scenes, but personally I think the highlight is the frustrating transition between childhood friends and falling in love. I think that’s one of the good things about the original work, so I hope you enjoy watching it.

■Episode 1 synopsis
Sei Akiyama (Kaito Miyajika) and Kowa Hoshi (Wakana Aoi) have been childhood friends since before they can remember. Ever since they ended their feelings of romance in junior high school, they have remained close childhood friends, and now they each work as planners at different game companies located in the same building.
One morning, when Kowa woke up, Hijiri was next to him for some reason. What’s more, they’re both practically naked! Amidst the chaos, I remembered that the night before, my boyfriend and colleague of two and a half years, Sosuke Yoshida (Junki Totsuka), had made a move on me, and then he dumped me, got drunk with Hijiri, and spent the night together. I remember what happened. Kowa immediately drops to the ground and apologizes, thinking that he has done something outrageous.
Even though it was a weekend, Kowa rushed out of the house to go to work. Even when her colleague Yoko Kihara (Maho Nonami) calls out to her, she remains indifferent. Kowa is preoccupied with Hijiri, but when he was in middle school, he witnessed how Hijiri stopped looking at him after he broke up with his girlfriend at the time, Kaede Saito, and she thought it was scary. remember. Taking this opportunity, Kowa decided to maintain the “closest and safest position” of his childhood friend.
After that, Kowa is about to go home after working on his day off, but Hijiri, who was also working on his day off, is waiting in the elevator hall of the building…
I have a feeling that the relationship between childhood friends who have become adults will begin to change. At long last, the most heart-warming “pure and sincere adult love” of this winter is about to begin.
