On October 18th, popular group Naniwa Danshi's member Kento Nagao and actress Anna Yamada appeared at the fashion and music event "Rakuten GirlsAward 2025 AUTUMN/WINTER," held at Makuhari Messe (Mihama-ku, Chiba City).
He appeared on the special stage for the film "Koi ni itaru yamai" (directed by Hiroki Ryuichi), which he co-stars in and will be released on October 24th. Nagao, who walked on the runway for the first time in a fashion show, commented, "It was really long (laughs)." He also thanked his fans, saying, "I was really nervous, but (the audience) had prepared a penlight in my member color, so I was happy."
After receiving a "big request" from MC Ryota Yamazato, Nagao improvised a heart-melting line, and when he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, come play with me tomorrow," the audience erupted in cheers of "Kyaa!". When Yamazato praised him, he laughed and said, "Naniwa Danshi Danshi!"
The film is an exciting love story in which the two main characters, played by Nagao and Yamada, share a clumsy yet devoted first love, which is intertwined with suspicious incidents and terrifying suspicions.
This year marks the 28th and 15th anniversary of the Girls Award, which began in May 2010. Models and actors such as Tomomi Itano and Yuchami will walk the runway in trendy fashion, and 10 artists, including Nogizaka46 and XG, will perform live.
