Atashinchi no Danshi
Press Conference
Horikita Maki, playing role of mother at 20 "Surprised at how quick it was."
The press conference for Fuji TV's drama 'Atashinchi no Danshi' starring actress Horikita Maki was held on the 8th (Wednesday) in Tokyo. Horikita and the rest of the cast were in attendance. Horikita who just reached adulthood in October last year said of her role playing mother to 6 brothers,"I just turned 20 about half a year ago and I was thinking I wanted to try playing a mother role. I'm surprised at how quickly I was given the chance to do it."
In the drama, Horikita plays the main character whose mother passed away when she was young and ends up homeless trying to escape from her father's 100 million yen debt. The president of a big company agrees to shoulder her debt on the condition that she marries him. While living as a 'pseudo-family' with her 6 eccentric & good-looking adopted sons, all unrelated by blood, the bonds between them strengthen in this situation comedy. "Through this drama, I would like people to think about what 'love' is," said second son Okada Yoshinori, as enthusiastically as the character of the old-school delinquent he is playing.
Besides being a mother, this is the first time Horikita is tackling a homeless role. "I'm very happy being able to do different roles." As expected from filming in an all-male household, "Lined up, everyone is so tall, I feel surrounded by them." When asked about who she would choose among her 6 peculiar ikemen sons, "As a son, probably Masaru (4th son played by Yamamoto Yusuke). A mother would be happy having her son be a charisma model," she said, already demonstrating the manner of a doting parent.
The other cast members in attendance were Mukai Osamu, Yamamoto Yusuke, Seto Koji, Tsuruno Takeshi, Nagayama Kento, Okayama Tomoki, Kaname Jun, Kusakari Masao and Takashima Reiko. Atashinchi no Danshi starts on the 14th of April (Tuesdays) at 9 o'clock on Fuji TV (the first episode is extended by 10 minutes).

堀北真希、ハタチで母親役に「早くてびっくり」
( 2009年04月08日 17時00分)
女優・堀北真希が主演を務めるフジテレビ系ドラマ『アタシんちの男子』の制作発表会見が8日（水）、都内で行われ、堀北らキャスト陣が出席した。昨年10月に成人したばかりの堀北は、自身が演じる6兄弟の"母親"という役どころについて「半年前に20歳になって、そろそろお母さんの役もやってみたいな～と思っていたらこんなに早くやらせてもらって、びっくりしています」と感想を話した。
同作は幼い頃に母を亡くし、失踪した父が作った1億円の借金から逃げるためホームレス状態になっていた堀北演じる主人公が、負債の肩代わりを条件に大手会社の社長と結婚し、血のつながらない6人の変人イケメン養子と"疑似家族"ながら絆を深めていく姿を描いたホームコメディー。6兄弟の次男で"時代遅れの暴走族"を演じる岡田義徳は「このドラマを通じて、自分は"愛"というものを学べたらいいなと思います」と、役柄同様に気合十分に意気込みを語った。
母親役に加え、ホームレス役という初めてだらけの役柄にも「いろんな役をやれるのは自分にとっては嬉しいこと」と気合いを見せる堀北だが、やはり男所帯の撮影現場では「並ぶと皆さん背が大きくて囲まれる感じ」と女の子らしい一面も。また、個性の強いイケメン6兄弟の中で1人選ぶとしたら誰か聞かれると「息子としてだったら（山本裕典演じる四男の）優かな。カリスマモデルっていうのはお母さんとしては嬉しい」と早くも"親ばか"ぶりを発揮していた。
会見にはほかに俳優の向井理、山本、瀬戸康史、タレントのつるの剛士、俳優の永山絢斗、岡山智樹、要潤、草刈正雄、女優の高島礼子らが出席。ドラマ『アタシんちの男子』は14日（火）午後9時よりフジテレビ系で放送（初回のみ10分拡大で放送）。
