Actress Riko Fukumoto and Kyohei Takahashi of the popular group Naniwa Danshi made a surprise appearance at the fashion event "41st Mynavi Tokyo Girls Collection (TGC) 2025 AUTUMN/WINTER" held at Saitama Super Arena (Chuo Ward, Saitama City) on September 6th.
The two appeared on stage as secret guests, not revealed until the show, for the drama series W-30 "Strobe Edge Season 1" (WOWOW, starting October 31st), in which they co-star, and walked the runway together alongside main cast member Yamashita Koki Yamashita and Hinatazaka46's Kosaka Nao, Motoki Nakazawa, and Tanabe Ririka.
When asked about the atmosphere on set, Takahashi said with a smile, "There are a lot of people my age, and many of them are from the same Kansai region, including Koki Yamashita, Yamashita Koki, and Kosaka. We were constantly making jokes and playing games like rock-paper-scissors, so it was a fun shoot." Fukumoto appealed, "It's a top-notch, authentic youth love story, so please look forward to it!"
TGC is a fashion event that has been held twice a year since 2005, with the theme of "Bringing Japanese girl culture to the world." This time, actors Ayami Nakajo, Ayaka Miyoshi, Elaiza Ikeda, and Meru Nukumi will appear, as well as the five-member girl group ILLIT, who will be making their first appearance at TGC.
