■ “I want to absorb all kinds of stimuli and become someone who can inspire others.” (King & Prince’s Kaito Takahashi)
Kaito Takahashi (the official spelling of “taka” is “hashigodaka”) (King & Prince), Taishi Nakagawa, Honoka Matsumoto, Kaito Hosoda, Takato Inukai, and Mandy Sekiguchi, the “Seigaku members,” have released smiling photos and comments from the end of filming. In addition, it has been decided that an Instagram live will be held on the day the final episode airs!
The drama premiere 23 “95 (Kyugo)”, a serial drama celebrating TV Tokyo’s 60th anniversary and starring Kaito Takahashi (King & Prince), which is broadcast every Monday from 11:06pm, will air its final episode on June 10th.
In the 9th episode airing this week, it is discovered that Seira (Matsumoto Honoka) is pregnant, and photos of Seira taken by Makino (Miura Takahiro) at a hotel are spread all over the school, causing Seira to leave Seika.
And when the day finally arrives for the New Year’s Eve fireworks plan to be carried out, Q (Takahashi Kaito) and his friends are attacked by a biker gang…a disturbing development that is building up anticipation for the final episode.
This time, wrap-up photos and comments from Takahashi Kaito, who played the main character Q, and his teammates “Seigaku members” Nakagawa Taishi, Hosoda Kaito, Inukai Takato, Sekiguchi Mandy, and Matsumoto Honoka, who played Q’s first love, Seira, have been released.
In addition, it has been decided that an Instagram live titled “#KyugoReunion” will be held from around 10:30 pm on June 10th, the day the final episode airs.
Kaito Takahashi, Kaito Hosoda, Takato Inukai, and Mandy Sekiguchi are scheduled to participate. They will look back on past broadcast stories and memories from filming, and liven up the final episode. Be sure to check it out.
■ Comment from Kaito Takahashi
After I got this offer, the cast was decided one after another, and I was grateful to be able to play the lead role among such amazing people, but at the same time, I was really anxious about how I should be on set. I thought, “I’ll do my best,” but it was really difficult when I was on set… After all, I was the lead, so I wanted to encourage everyone to be more cheerful and energetic, but all I could do was try my best, and I was on set thinking how much everyone was supporting me.Because everyone around me was really amazing, I was inspired every day, but like Q, who grew by being inspired by everyone and was inspired by everyone, I want to absorb various stimuli from now on and become someone who can inspire everyone. Thank you for letting me appear in such a cool work. I will do my best to work with everyone again!
■ Comment from Taishi Nakagawa
This was a work that I personally feel a strong attachment to, and the role I played was very emotional. It was a very intense time with many hectic days, and I acted with the feeling that this was probably my last chance to experience this kind of youth. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!■ Comment from Honoka Matsumoto
I was nervous at first because it had been a while since I last played a high school student. I had a lot of scenes with Takahashi-san, and it was a really good stimulation, like I was able to go back to my roots. It was really fun! Thank you very much!Comment from Hosoda Kanata
The year was 1995, a time when I hadn’t even been born yet, so it was a bit of a fantasy, but while filming, I felt like, “This is what ’95 must have been like.” There were quite a few staff members who were nostalgic about that time, and I was able to spend a month feeling a real sense of youth, including playing a high school student. Thank you!■ Comment from Takatake Inukai
It was my dream to appear in the drama “95” since I was little, and I had a lot of fun these past few months having that dream finally come true. Thank you so much!■ Comment from Mandy Sekiguchi
This was my first time working with Jyojo, so I learned a lot. I really like the role of Doyoung. The theme of my life is youth, so I think it was fate that I encountered this production, “95”. Thank you very much!
