It has been revealed that actor Ryubi Miyase will play his first solo lead role in the film "I Can't Fall in Love with You Just by Your Face" (to be released on March 7, 2025). This romantic comedy is about a handsome senior and a "very attractive heroine" who becomes the "person behind the scenes" of a social media account.
Miyase plays the protagonist, the "strongest blue-haired handsome man," and said, "Everyone around me said that blue hair suits me, so I worked hard to make everyone's hearts flutter with confidence. Please look forward to the release!" The original is a popular girls' manga by Anzai Karin that has been serialized in "Hana to Yume" (Hakusensha) since 2020 and has sold over 2 million copies in total. Chiken Sainan, an otaku girl who loves good-looking faces, is secretly asked by her senior, Ugo Souto, a blue-haired boy with the best looks in school, to become the "person behind the scenes" of the school's official account. When she learns of the true face of the "complicated cute" senior, who is not just handsome, she begins to have feelings for him. However, their classmate Doigaki Ryo notices their relationship... This is the story. The film is directed by Yagumo Saiji, who has also directed "Touken Ranbu: Reimei" and other films.
The heroine Sainan, who becomes a face on Souto's social media, is played by Rinka Kumada. She said she had read the original manga before and commented, "I was so happy to be able to play Sainan! Sainan is so straightforward about what she loves and how much she loves her idol, so I wanted to be able to bring out that charm in her." She continued, "When I actually saw Miyase with her blue hair, I thought she looked like she had jumped out of the manga. I hope you can enjoy watching Souto-senpai and Doigaki-kun's shining faces at the cinema, feeling your heart pound and your heart fluttering, and feeling Sainan's feelings."
The important character Ryo who is involved in the love between the two is played by Nakajima Sota from "FANTASTICS." "This character is very popular with fans of the original work, and I think expectations are high for him, so I wanted to approach the role with sincerity and create a great character who could stand up to the existence of Ugo Souto, so I took on this role!" she said.
Yonekura Reia will be playing Sainan's best friend, Nohara Yuri. "Watching the interactions between Souto, Sainan, and Doigaki, I thought to myself, 'This is what it means to be an oshikatsu!' It was such a fun shoot. It's a very exciting, heart-pounding movie, so I hope everyone doesn't stop their hearts from stopping!" she said.
