■ “Please don’t get angry, fans” (Shisonnu Hasegawa Shinobu) “A very loving slap” (Travis Japan Matsukura Kaito)
The third episode of TV Asahi’s Barabara Monthly August Kampe Theater’s “Towards a Perfect Future” was broadcast on August 20th.
Actors include Hasegawa Shinobu (Sisonne), Matsukura Kaito (Travis Japan), and Kumada Yoko, while Yamazoe Hiroshi (Aiseki Start) and Kunizaki Kazuya (Ranjatai) will also appear in the role of “dialogue assistant.”
As the sci-fi drama progresses, there are scenes where the dialogue was not completed by the shooting date, and for those scenes Yamazoe and Kunizaki write the lines on cue cards on the spot and control the actors.
In the third episode, Kaito Matsukura, the son from the future, begins to show signs of physical discomfort. Machii, a genius scientist played by Hasegawa of Shissonne, speculates that the cause may be the collapse of the future in which the parents are united.
When he asks about the mother’s name, it is revealed that she is a woman aspiring to be his assistant, played by Kumada Yoko.
His son asks him to call him back immediately and confess his feelings to him, but Machii, who has no experience in love, asks his son for advice.
In this cue part where he couldn’t get his lines in time, Kaito Matsukura teaches Hasegawa some love techniques.
They ask questions about love, such as “How should I confess my feelings?” and “What kind of heart-fluttering gesture will you do in the future, like the kabedon?”, but once again Matsukura goes off the rails due to instructions from the cue cards.
Yamazoe and Kunizaki stand up and burst out laughing at the chaotic situation in which they are slapping each other.
Episode 3, which aired on August 20th, is available for catch-up streaming on TVer and Abema. Episode 4 will air on August 27th at 26:54.
■ Comment from Shinobu Hasegawa (Sissonne)
Travis Japan is an active idol group. You won’t see Matsukura-kun like this anywhere else… I think this is the only place.
I’m sorry to the fans. I really hope you don’t get angry. I’m just using cue cards. If you’re going to get angry, please get angry at those two (Aiseki Start Yamazoe and Ranjatai Kunizaki)!■Comment from Kaito Matsukura (Travis Japan)
There were a lot of slaps. It was really a “slap with love”. (laughs) I’ve seen a lot of stuff like that on TV, so I was really happy to experience it live! I felt the comedy.
