Looking back on the filming, he said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a thrilling work that depicts love so head-on, so there were some moments where I was nervous at first.” Each couple had a great atmosphere, and it was fun to play them,” he said with a satisfied expression.

While receiving warm applause from Kikuchi and Shichigosankake, Kumada said to them and the rest of the cast, “I was able to create the work while having lots of discussions on set with actors of the same generation, and while I had fun, I learned a lot.” Big thanks.

“There were so many exciting scenes until the final episode, and I couldn’t let go of my nerves until the very end, wondering how I could make the viewers surprised (lol).But when I was confused, Mr. Kikuchi He always called out to me, which was very reliable, and I was able to entrust myself to the filming,” he said, revealing that he has been supported by a reliable chairperson.

Shichigosankake received a great response for playing the role of the “puppy boy” Sakamoto, who said, “The only reason I was able to take on this visual challenge of “black hair and glasses” was because I met Sakamoto-kun.I played him as a pure and honest person. Thanks to you, I was able to spend some sparkling fun days. I also said, “Thank you, Sakamoto-kun!” “I want to say that,” he said, gushing out his “love” for the role he played.

Shichigosankake also looked back on co-starring with Kikuchi and said, “Kurosawa-san is a sly person. He’s cute even though he’s cool in everything, he’s a ‘gap boy’!” While expressing his jealousy, he added, “Kaze I had the opportunity to work closely with Kazama-kun for the first time in about 10 years, but at this site I once again felt Kazama-kun’s kindness.” At the end, he begged, “Please give me some shishimeshi!” which was not possible during the filming period.

On the other hand, Yamazaki said, “This work gave me an opportunity to reconsider the moment when people fall in love, and I had a fun day with Ayaka that made my heart flutter.I hope as many people as possible are fans of the Ayasaka couple. I was thinking that it would be great if it became popular, and I was seriously working on how to make Kyunseen stand out,” he said with a wide smile as he talked about his thoughts on the work.

Also, when Nagisa Saito, who plays the role of Kyo Ozu, came up to the plate, Kumada rushed over and was very impressed, saying, “Wow! I’m so happy! Thank you!”

Saito said, “It was a very happy scene where I was able to love the character of Kyo-chan from beginning to end,” and Yoshihisa, who plays Kei Oshima, also said, “I read the original story and wanted to play the role of Oshima, so I decided to play the role of Oshima.” I was happy that it became a reality.During filming, I was happy to hear people say, “You’re perfect for the role of Oshima!”

Komagine also said, “Although it was a short filming period, I was happy that I got to know everyone better than I expected.I met Mokuyo-kun often this year, so I hope we can do something together again next year.” , they expressed their gratitude for the fulfilling photoshoot and ended the scene with a warm hug.

■Fuma Kikuchi (played by Tomoya Kurosawa) Comments
It felt like it happened in an instant, and the shooting went by in the blink of an eye. I am very grateful to all the cast and staff for creating such a wonderful and warm atmosphere.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a thrilling work that depicts love so head-on, so there were some moments where I was a bit nervous at first, but when I actually acted out the roles, all three couples, including Kurosawa and Aoi, had a great atmosphere. It was fun to play.
This work was my third time appearing in the Osidora Saturday slot, but the first one was the launch work for the Osidora slot, and the second one was “Tome” (*Important information shown at the end of the credits). It was a special opportunity for me to appear in this role, and I feel very connected and indebted to him. So I was really happy to be able to play the lead role this time.
When I started this work, I was told that smiling and ad-libbing were the seal, and people around me often said, “Isn’t it tough without ad-libbing?” But let me tell you this. I don’t usually improvise because I want to, but when it’s required. Improvisation is very difficult! However, this time, I think I was able to focus more on my role and delve deeper into it than ever before, as I was able to block that out.
Up until now, we have worked hard on this work so that viewers can watch this work on Saturday night and want to try their best from Monday after Sunday. We hope that you will keep these thoughts in the back of your mind and enjoy it until the very end!

■Rika Kumada (Aoi Morita) Comments
Now that I’ve reached the crank-up, I’m extremely relieved that I was able to run all the way to the end, but at the same time I also feel sad. I was able to work with other actors of my generation and have a lot of discussions with them while creating the work, which was both fun and educational.Also, all of the staff members were kind, so I am grateful for that. It’s full.
There were a lot of exciting scenes until the final episode, and I couldn’t let go of my nerves until the very end, thinking about how I could make the viewers surprised (lol). However, Mr. Kikuchi always called out to me when I was in doubt, which was very reliable, and I was able to entrust myself to the shoot.
I’ve received many comments from viewers so far, with some saying they want to support Aoi-chan, which made me very happy. When I read the original story, I felt that the feelings I had for Aoi-chan, who is a hard worker and makes me want to root for her, were conveyed to everyone, and I felt very relieved.
In this work, “dating” is not the goal, but the conflicts and twists and turns that occur after dating are depicted in detail. I hope you look forward to seeing what kind of finale Kurosawa-san and Aoi-chan, who have experienced various experiences, will have in their various forms of happiness.
