Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
Vol. 08 Interview
Omasa Aya (Nakahara Sunako)
Q: Your thoughts when you landed this role?
A: When I first heard about it, I was happy. My elder sister has the manga. But when I read them over many times, I started to worry. "This role, it's difficult! How will I portray her?", those thoughts came to me. There's also the pressure of whether fans of the original work will like it.
Q: Regarding your anxiety, you consulted the director about it?
A: I talked to both the director and producer about my worries and doubts on playing the role of Sunako before filming began.
As Sunako's face is covered by her fringe and the fact that she also has very few lines, the director advised, "The changes in Sunako's mental state, they cannot depend on her facial expressions or the few words she utters. So use the whole body. It seems that Omasa is doing okay." His encouragement makes me do my best.
Q: How do you use your whole body?
A: The pose for my hands, the way I walk and speak. "This movement, it's Sunako-like!" I think about each and every action I make. I practise to show the nature of Sunako. Now even after filming is over, I act like Sunako! [laugh]
Q: Aya-chan, what are your thoughts on Sunako's character?
A: I think she's awkward, but considerate towards others. She's like a pure and cute child.
Q: What is unique about Sunako's room?
A: At first I was shocked seeing many scary ornaments in the room, now I go "Kawaii!" I've grown to like them [laugh].
I don't like being in small spaces, but I've been able to relax in the coffin bed. I've dozed off in there during filming intervals [laugh]. I've gotten used to it.
Q: How's the atmosphere at filming locations?
A: Both the cast and staff are really cheerful! During filming I'm always in the black cloak, and hardly have any make-up on, but they still treat me like a girl [laugh].
Q: Message for the audience.
A: I think more or less, everyone has complexes. Each of us will view the positive and negative traits in different ways. Myself included, I have many complexes. To the viewers, while watching Kyohei and Sunako deal with their complexes, I hope that you too will face your complexes and be able to have the power to change for the better. Please watch 'Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge'.

Cute Adult
19th January 2010 20:10
Yesterday
I attended
The new product launch for Triumph
My eyes wandered to where the lingerie were
They got my heart beating a little faster
'Cute adult' is the concept
for this "be sweet" new series
If it's 'cute adult',
what's the atmosphere gonna be like?
Discussing with staff
Then we decided on my clothes
Eh?
Me too
I'm capturing the 'cute adult' feeling
[laugh]
Ladies who work hard
I like that type
But they also know their limits
It can't be seen on the exterior
But you should put on something
That you really like
There's a wide range of variation in the designs
Because of this
It might be difficult to make a choice
This series
Is of good quality
And at an affordable price too!
It takes effort
But it's enjoyable
Isn't it good to fuss over lingerie?
That's why
Yesterday
I went to take a look

★PC here
★Mobile phone here
Well then
This has been Narimiya.

Back from Fishing
Yesterday
After gym
I had healthy seafood
In an interesting shop
Fishing pond bar 'Zauo'
I ate fish which I caught myself
While sitting in a ship
They let you do that
It's that type of system
Before making orders
Go fishing o(^-^)o
Then a big one came along
Or rather, this...
Isn't it a shark!?
I was pumped up
Wanted to catch it
"That's our pet..."
the shop assistant said
What
There were many other fishes
Noisily with others
I had fun fishing
The fish which I caught
You be the judge
The catch
Ishigakidai
Sea bream
Horse mackerel
Somehow there's a turban shell [laugh]
Fishing was really fun
I was full of sashimi
Next time
I'll eat other stuff
Wow
This bar
Isn't it great?
It's been a while
Since a meal was entertaining
Now I'm at home
I'm watching 'Bloody Monday' earlier
It'll be aired tomorrow
It will be a 2 hour special tomorrow!
It's a must-watch ne
Ah!
But before that
I'll be on 'Ousama no Brunch'
For that, yoroshiku as well ne
This has been Narimiya.

Abandoning the "Good Guy"?
Mizobata Junpei tackles his first Delinquent Role in a Mobilephone Drama
20th January 2010
The Bee TV mobile drama by AVEX and NTT Docomo 'Hidamari no Basho ~Hatsukoi~' stars Mizobata Junpei, who takes on his first delinquent role. Falling in love with Mizobata in the heroine role is young actress Renbutsu Misako. Broadcasts begin from 20th January onwards.
So far, Mizobata has been cast in the 'good guy' roles. It started from 'Akai Ito', then last year he was in 'BOSS' and 'Buzzer Beat ~Gakeppuchi no Hero~'. This year, he will be in the movies 'Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu' and 'NECK'. He opens up about the challenges of being cast in a new 'bad boy' role.
Regarding his character, "He's different from the usual delinquent who likes to show-off. He doesn't feel like he belongs, but he's a young man with adult toughness with his group of friends. He's overflowing with vitality. Because there's nowhere to channel this energy, he ends up getting into fights and mischief. While playing this role, I thought that his awkwardness about not really fitting in, a trait that many youths face, should be portrayed."
Filming was completed last year in Kofu, Yamanashi. Commenting on the filming atmosphere, "There were many guys, everyday it was like being in a boys' school. They were reserved at first, there seemed to be a hierarchy-type of relationship, but once we got back to the hotel, all the guys got into the large public bath. Since then we've all loosened up. Chatting about mundane topics, and also about the drama, we had a good time," he recalls.
Youths with hearts engulfed in darkness, what will their response be? How will the fateful love end?
'Hidamari no Basho ~Hatsukoi~', begins airing on 20th January on BeeTV (5 mins x 24 episodes, new episode every Sunday).

Is that the coin of love? And what's with this pairing? Misako-chan was also his girlfriend in DIVE!!
