Please remember that this is an important scene that will lead to the future of the two (Kurosawa x Aoi)!”, he said, greatly emphasizing the presence of Kinoshita himself.

As Iguchi claims, Kinoshita was in a sense a “cupid” who started the romance between the two, but Iguchi’s strong service spirit and lively presence on set also helped Kikuchi and Kumata a lot. , Kikuchi said, “I was nervous because the scene was a faithful reproduction of the original work, but Iguchi-san’s presence helped me out.I’m personally hoping that he will appear again in the future!” Looking forward to co-starring again.

Kumada also expressed his gratitude, saying, “Mr. Iguchi, who made the scene peaceful, is an important person!”

■Hiroyuki Iguchi (Westland) Comment
Ever since I heard that I would be cast in this work, I was looking forward to seeing what kind of love I would play, but of course that was not the role. He’s such a disgusting guy, so pitiful, that I couldn’t help but play him. However, I don’t want everyone to forget that that earworm was one of the triggers.
The lead actor, Fuma Kikuchi, is amazingly cool! They talked to me about various things in between, but I just kept apologizing and saying, “Excuse me,” because I didn’t feel sorry for them. I couldn’t tell if the atmosphere on set was relaxed or if people were laughing at me, but I was sorry for complaining so much like “I’m going to have a hard time working after this” in between!
For those of you who are about to watch the first episode, please look for me! Also, please remember that this is an important scene that will lead to the future of these two (Kurosawa x Aoi)! Furthermore, please look forward to the future of Manager Kinoshita!
