■Dance lectures will be held to the theme song “Wish wa Gyo-san”! A digest video of the fan appreciation event has been released!
Kazuya Ohashi (Naniwa Danshi) and Rikka Ihara made a surprise appearance at the fan appreciation event for the movie “Fushigi Candy Shop Zenitendo”.
Ten days after its release on December 13th, the movie “Mysterious Candy Shop Zentendo” held a fan appreciation event. The event was announced on the official website only as “Cast scheduled to appear on stage,” and 70 parents and children from 35 groups were invited. Amid a flood of applications, the selected “lucky customers” gathered at a closed elementary school in Tokyo.
When the MC took the stage at the beginning, a message video was played from Ohashi, who played the role of the new teacher Kotaro Todoroki, and Ihara, who played the role of fashion magazine editor Yoko Aida. We’ll be able to hear directly what happened, and at the end we’ll all be dancing to the theme song “Kishi wa Gyo-san!”, the conversation goes as if they can’t participate in the event.
Then Ihara pointed out to me, “Mr. Ohashi, you play the role of an elementary school teacher, so you don’t have to go to this event?” So I decided to go and say thank you in person! In response to this suggestion, the video ends with, “Everyone, please wait!”
While the hall was buzzing with excitement, the door opened and Ohashi and Ihara made a surprise appearance saying, “Hello!” and the classroom was filled with cheers.
Ohashi greeted cheerfully with his characteristic brightness, saying, “Thank you for coming! Let’s enjoy the day today too!” Ihara said, “There aren’t many things we can talk about from this distance, so I hope we can have a variety of conversations.” I’m glad. Thank you!” he said happily, and the event started.
When asked about the reaction from people around him since the movie was released, Ohashi said, “My mom and dad went to see it, and when I do it normally they send me 5 stamps, but they sent me 10 stamps. He said he enjoyed it. It was so fun and heartfelt, and there were so many lines that touched my heart, so I went to watch it again. Ihara said, “I’ve been getting a lot of calls from friends from my days in the dance club, and I’ve been getting a lot of calls from people saying that their fashion has changed so much that their voices have come out. “I’m happy to hear that children of the same age and older generations enjoyed it,” he said, feeling relieved.
Then, Ohashi, who played the role of an elementary school teacher, and Ihara, who played the role of Yoko, who played the role of a junior, served as assistants and held a “special lesson” where they heard directly from the children. Ohashi, who was entrusted with the role of partition, once again politely greeted the audience by saying, “Thank you so much for coming, everyone! Let’s talk with us now!”
The first person asked, “I’m currently in the 6th grade of elementary school, do you have any tips for speaking confidently at graduation ceremonies?” To which Ohashi replied, “I’m really nervous myself, and I get nervous when it comes to speaking.” But what you should do at that time is stretch. I think it’s good to stretch and empty yourself out to refresh your mind, so please stretch before you go.” I replied sincerely.
Afterwards, Ihara was asked, “What is your favorite scene?” and Ihara replied, “The scene where Zenitendo first appears.” Ohashi said, “The moment I stood in front of the teacher’s desk, I was so comforted by the faces of the students looking at me.” , the lines are flying It was a great scene. It was my favorite scene because it soothed me,” he said, adding, “I received messages from all the student actors saying, “To Kotaro-sensei,” and they said, “I want to act with you again.” ” and “I’m glad it was Kotaro-sensei.” I still keep it in my script bag (cover).It gives me energy,” he says, reminiscing about the scene.
Finally, when asked, “What kind of person was Beniko-san?”, Ihara answered, “She’s the kind of person you want to be around, even in the real world. I wish I had a warm person like that who would pat me on the back.” I think life would be a little easier,” I said, letting my imagination run wild, and Ohashi nodded. However, she commented from the perspective of an elementary school teacher, “I’d like her to be my teacher as well.I think she’s a really good teacher because she gives me advice and creates my own path rather than giving me answers.” , carefully answered each question from the children gathered in the venue.
A dance lecture was also held to the theme song “Kishi wa Gyo-san”. This work also created a special music video in which each cast member dances to the theme song, but there is also a scene where Ohashi and Ihara, who have a lot of dance experience, give a “special lesson” on dance!
Slowly and carefully[hands make a wish][fluttering][cat! ]Ohashi explains. Ihara, who is quick to correct Ohashi when he makes a mistake, gives a friendly lecture to the 70 parents and children who immediately learn, “I can do it!” The venue was filled with a warm atmosphere as the two dancers seemed to be having fun, teaching as if they were physical education teachers.
In her closing remarks, Ihara said, “I was really looking forward to holding the event 10 days after the release and listening to everyone’s impressions, so today was a very happy time for me! I hope you’ll watch it many times!” and Ohashi also said, “First of all, thank you for visiting Zentendo.As I said in each of my lines, I hope each and every one of them touches your heart. I think that’s why I hope people will watch it over and over again, and since there are so many different characters, I hope they can feel like they’re possessed by them,” he said in a greeting typical of “Zentendo.”
At the end, everyone put on cat ears and had a photo session with 70 parents and children, bringing the fan appreciation event to a close.
