■SNS was abuzz with the appearance of Aoi Komaki during the broadcast of episode 4! Play the role of Kodai Imamura, a “same mate” and “good friend” of the new employee Itami, played by Kazuto Mokuyo!
“The Reason We Fall in Love” is aired every Saturday from 11:00 pm on TV Asahi’s Oshidora Saturday, starring Fuma Kikuchi and Rika Kumada as the heroine.
In the fourth episode, which aired on November 2nd, the “quiet boss” Tomoya Kurosawa (Fuma Kikuchi) finally confessed to his “serious subordinate” Aoi Morita (Rinka Kumada) that he loves her. The event ended in a thrilling way, with mutual feelings being shared, and SNS was buzzing with excitement.
Another thing that became a hot topic during the broadcast was the appearance of a new cast member.
In episode 4, a new employee, Kodai Imamura, plays the role of Aoita Komagine and works in the second division of the sales department. He is a junior to Ryo Sakamoto (Tatsuya Shichigosankake) and a colleague of Mizuki Itami (Kazuto Mokuyo), who is attached to Aoi. For Itami, he is a good friend to whom he can confide his worries, and a comforting presence who is there when he needs it. Episode 4 also depicts a playful exchange in which the two play around and invite Itami out for drinks to cheer up the heartbroken Itami.
Aita Komagine played the main character, Kaito Goshikita/Zenkaiser in “Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger” (2021-2022), and since then he has been a popular and talented figure who has been receiving offers from popular works continuously.
Komagine confesses that he felt special when he received this offer. This is because, for Komagine, although he has not worked with Kikuchi directly, he has been exchanging his voice through the radio programs he regularly appears on, and he is an “existence of admiration”.
“Actually, there was a timelesz section on the radio program I regularly appeared on, and Kikuchi-san and I often exchanged comments through that radio program.I had hoped to meet him someday, and this time, It was a dream come true when we decided to co-star.”
He has often co-starred with Kazuto Mokuchi, who plays his best friend, Itami, and they are very good friends, but Mokuyo has also expressed his admiration for Kikuchi, and Komagine said, “From now on, I want to have as much of a connection with Kikuchi as I do with Mokuyo.” I want to liven it up,” he declared with enthusiasm.
When I heard that Kikuchi and Mokuyo had already sweated it out together in the sauna, he said, “I’ve just started filming and I’m nervous, so I’d like Mr. Kikuchi to take me to the sauna as soon as possible.” ” he said enthusiastically.
■Tatsuya Shichigosankake, who reunited after a long time, was “rejuvenated”!? He praised his acting as expected!
Komagine was also overjoyed to be co-starring with Shichigosankake, who plays Sakamoto, a direct senior to Imamura, whom he plays. “I was also happy to meet Shime (Shichigosankake) for the first time in about four years.I have always been good friends with Genta Matsuda from Travis Japan, and through Genta I have eaten with Shime several times. When I met him this time for the first time in a while, I was surprised to see that he looked younger than he was four years ago,” he said, praising Shichigosankake’s role as the “puppy boy” Sakamoto.
Kikuchi, Shichigosankake, Mokuyo…Komakine is surrounded by his favorite and best cast members, so Komagine is very enthusiastic. “I’ll be joining in the middle, but I hope that my participation will add spice to the story that everyone has been creating since the first half!” he wrote with an enthusiastic message.
In the fifth episode, which aired on November 9th, Kurosawa begins an “internal romance” with Aoi that he had avoided up until now. Also, Sakamoto senses the shadow of a lover in Ayaka (Hirona Yamazaki), whom he has feelings for… Furthermore, Kyo (Yoshiku So) finally confesses to Oshima (Saito Nagisa!?), and the three couples’ love story takes a new turn.
In addition, episodes 1 to 4 are being streamed for free on TVer.
■Aoi Komaki comment
I was really happy to be able to appear in this production. I’ve had the opportunity to meet Kazuto Mokuyo, who plays Itami, about four times over the past year, and now that we’ll be able to work together again, I feel like I have to work hard to show that I’ve improved. I also felt that it was tightening up.
However, I also have feelings for Mokuyo-kun! In fact, there was a timelesz section on the radio program I regularly appeared on, and although we didn’t collaborate directly, I often exchanged comments with Kikuchi through the radio program. I had been hoping to meet him someday, and when we decided to work together this time, it felt like a dream come true! However, on the first day of filming, Mokuyo-kun, who wanted to become friends with Mr. Kikuchi, invited me and we went to talk to Mr. Kikuchi together, but Mokuyo-kun ignored me and kept talking to Mr. Kikuchi…I was completely used as a cover (lol) )!
It was a strange start to the shoot as I started to feel distrustful of Mokuyo-kun (lol), but since Kikuchi-san, whom I admire, is with me, I can do my best during the shoot! From now on, I want to make the “Kikuchi Gundan” as exciting as Mokuyo-kun, and since I’ve only just started filming, I’m nervous, so I’d like Kikuchi-san to take me to the sauna as soon as possible. I think so!
Also, in this work, I was happy to meet Shime (Shichigosankake) for the first time in about four years. Originally, I was good friends with Genta Matsuda from Travis Japan, and through Genta, I went out to eat with Shime-kun several times. When I met her for the first time in a while, I was surprised to see that she looked younger than she did 4 years ago!
I will be joining “The Reason We Fall in Love” midway through, but I hope that my participation will add spice to the story that has been created since the first half!
