However, he really stepped up and did his best (in the role of Koji).” Kiyohara, who co-starred with him in dramas in the past, said, “We didn’t meet at all during filming, and when we met for the first time in a long time during a promotional activity, I saw that he had grown taller, and it felt like time had passed.”

“I think that words, feelings, and emotions are more important than ever, and even though there are times when we have to put up with them, forget them, and have conflicts as we grow up, we still cherish them as our core.” I want to cherish the courage to hold on to something that I have to hold on to, and I feel that way because I played Ami, and I want to be grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with the role and the work.”
