On April 15th, Yoshinori Masakado of the popular group " Ae! group " attended a press conference held at the location of the drama " Musashino Rondo" (TV Asahi, Saturday 11pm), in which he stars, along with co-star Rin Takanashi Rin.
This is Shokado's first time acting in a romance drama, and she will also be taking on her first kissing scene. When asked about the kissing scene, she recalled, "I was very nervous. I was embarrassed that people would think I was nervous, but I was so nervous that I felt relieved when it was over."
"It was the first time for Takanashi-san to work with Shokado-san, so there was a unique sense of tension, but the filming went smoothly and enjoyably. There are a variety of kissing scenes, so I think you'll enjoy it," he said.
The drama is a film adaptation of Kawachi Haruka's manga (currently being serialized by Shodensha). Agawa Ryuhei (Masakado), the son of a soba restaurant owner, has had a crush on Musashihara Tamaki (Takanashi), who is 10 years older than him and lives next door, since he was a child. He confesses his feelings to her twice in middle and high school, but she never sees him as a romantic partner and he is on the verge of giving up. However, when a rival appears, he begins to approach her vigorously, and after 10 years, his one-sided love begins to move. The drama will begin airing on the 19th.
Yugo Kochi Takada and Yui Ichikawa from "SixTONES" also appeared at the press conference. Ryuhei's pet dog Pon also made an appearance.
