A press conference for the drama "50 Minute Lover" (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sundays 10:15pm), which begins on January 18th and stars Kei Inoo of the popular group Hey! Say! JUMP and actress Matsumoto Honoka, was held in Tokyo on the 14th, and was hosted by ABC TV announcer Onita Misaki.
Onita, who appears regularly in the drama, greeted the audience by saying, "I will also be playing the role of Osake Sakura, who works in the general affairs department of Pirates, the game software manufacturer where Inoo's character, Amami Haru, works." She then participated in a mini-game event with the cast, livening up the press conference.
Onita was born on September 23, 2000. He joined the station in 2023 and is currently in charge of information variety shows such as "Morning! Live Travel Salad."
This work is a romantic comedy about a mismatched couple - an eccentric handsome guy whose only friend is an AI, and a down-to-earth girl who is obsessed with her work - who enter into a strange contract and spend 50 minutes together during their lunch break. Also attending the press conference were Inoo, Matsumoto, Mikata Ryosuke, Kuroda Mitsuteru, Oideyasu Oda, Takahashi Mitsuomi, and Kimura Tae.
