■”I never thought that the hair cutting ceremony would be the first time I would meet Mr. Kikuchi (lol)” (Rinka Kumada) “It’s a little awkward (lol)” (Fuma Kikuchi)
ma2’s popular comic “Why We Fall in Love” (serialized in Cream Puff “OUR FEEL”) has been adapted into a drama starring Fuma Kikuchi (timelesz) and heroine Rinka Kumada (TV Asahi, starting October 12th). The older you get, the more you think about things and become timid about taking the first step in love. Still, I can’t help but fall in love. The definitive version of the tantalizing yet bittersweet “pure love for adults” unfolds between six men and women in an office setting.
In this work, all the cast members, including Kikuchi who plays the quiet and cool protagonist Tomoya Kurosawa, have created visuals that respect the original work, but in particular Kumada, who plays the heroine Aoi Morita, has beautiful long hair that reaches her chest. She has become a hot topic of conversation by cutting 25 centimeters off to become Aoi.
In fact, the footage of Kumada’s hair cutting ceremony, which Kikuchi also rushed to perform, was recently released for the first time.
■Two people meeting for the first time, working together for the first time! Fuma Kikuchi provides gentle support with “scissors insertion”
Before the crank-in, a hair cutting ceremony was held at a rented beauty salon early in the morning. Kumata has been growing her hair ever since she cut it two years ago, but when she received the offer for this work, she decided to cut it straight away because she wanted to look as close as possible to the original Aoi.
Kikuchi, the lead actor, rushes to witness the birth of the heroine. In fact, this was the first time the two had met, and Kikuchi, who was standing next to Kumada in front of the mirror waiting for his fateful moment, said, “It’s a little awkward (lol)” (Kikuchi), “This is the first time. I never thought we’d meet face-to-face,” said Kumata, smiling shyly as they met for the first time through a mirror…
And finally, the moment of cutting! First, Kumada grabbed a pair of scissors himself, said, “I’m so excited!” and plucked up the courage to cut the bundle on the left side, and with a smile said, “I cut it!” As if accepting Kumada’s determination, Kikuchi was the next to pick up the scissors. Kikuchi, who said it was his first experience cutting someone else’s hair, said, “I’m nervous…!” But with a serious look, he carefully inserted the scissors and cut the hair on the right side. His moves were so vivid that even Kumata couldn’t help but applaud, and the two worked together even though they were meeting for the first time and took the first step in preparing for the role.
■”I was so nervous that I felt like I was in a dream…” Fuma Kikuchi is excited about his first experience cutting a woman’s hair!
Kikuchi, who successfully completed his role, confessed that he was nervous from beginning to end, saying, “It was my first experience cutting someone’s hair, so I was so nervous that it felt like I was in a dream for the first time in a while.” After the haircut ceremony, Kumada, who had her hair styled by a hairstylist and had her hair changed into a bob similar to Aoi’s in the original story, said, “I felt refreshed after having the hair cut so beautifully, and it changed my mood!” He expressed his renewed enthusiasm and expressed his gratitude to Kikuchi for supporting his transformation, saying, “You cheered me up even though I was nervous, and it was very helpful.” It was also revealed that the hair cut by Kumada will be donated as a hair donation.
At the end, the two spoke in unison and expressed their determination to take on the challenge of filming, saying, “I’ll do my best!” The hair cutting ceremony, which brought the two of them closer together through their “first collaboration,” will be posted on the official SNS, so be sure to check it out.
■The main visual expressing the relationships between Kikuchi and Kumada and other three couples has been released!!
In addition, the long-awaited main visual will be released before the broadcast starts. Against a background of pink, yellow, and blue, which are the same as the image colors on the cover of the original comic, the three groups of Kikuchi x Kumada, Tatsuya Shichigosankake x Hirona Yamazaki, and Hajime Yoshiku x Nagisa Saito express their relationships. Showing off a cute pose. A piece that truly condenses the world view of the story has been completed.
What kind of love story will these three couples create in the future? Let’s look forward to the broadcast of the drama “The Reason We Fall in Love.”
[Episode 1 synopsis]
Aoi Morita (Rinka Kumada), who is in her third year at an advertising company, is constantly nervous about her direct superior, section manager Tomoya Kurosawa (Fuma Kikuchi). Kurosawa, who did not show his emotions, was usually quiet and when he did speak, he spoke clearly, which made him a feared figure within the company.
One day, when Aoi gets into an elevator with Kurosawa, she is not only teased by the manager she was riding with, but also made fun of for her height complex. However, just when she thought she had no choice but to put up with it and see it through, Kurosawa said something unexpected to the manager and helped Aoi. Since then, Aoi has become curious about Kurosawa and wants to know more about him. However, Kurosawa has long distanced himself from “love”, which can become a source of troublesome relationships.
At the same time, Aoi’s colleague Ryo Sakamoto (Tatsuya Shichigosankake) ends up working on the same project as Ayaka Ichikawa (Hirona Yamazaki), a senior employee whom he secretly admires, and is even more excited than usual. Also, Aoi’s fellow student Kyo Ozu (Nagisa Saito) meets Hotaru Oshima (Hajime Yoshiku), who has the muscular body of his ideals, and gets excited all by himself as he fantasizes about all sorts of things. Meanwhile, for some reason, Kurosawa and Aoi end up having a “drinking drink,” and their romance suddenly begins…!?
■Fuma Kikuchi comment
I think the hair cutting ceremony is a very big event for Mr. Kumada, so it was a little awkward that we met for the first time at such an important time (lol). Before I put the scissors in Kumada-san’s hair, I was so nervous that I started sweating. Cutting someone’s hair is something that doesn’t happen very often, and it was also a new experience for me, so I was so nervous that it felt like I was dreaming about it for the first time in a while.■Rinka Kumada comment
Since I cut my hair two years ago, I’ve been growing it long, and it’s been a while since I’ve had it cut into a bob, so I was excited. I have never had such an experience, so it felt very strange. However, I felt refreshed by the beautiful cut, and cutting it changed my mood.
However, I never expected that the hair cutting ceremony would be the first time I met Mr. Kikuchi (lol). He said it was his first time cutting someone’s hair, but I thought he was very good at it. Mr. Kikuchi was as kind as I expected, and even though I was nervous, he made me feel excited, and it was a wonderful first meeting.
