Takahashi, Sakurai, and Tanaka all challenged on the first day of filming a hospital scene where Asahi, Kashiko Chatani (Sakurai), and Wataru Sato (Tanaka) meet face to face for the first time in history. Immediately, the three of them showed a harmonious exchange.

After filming, Takahashi commented, “It was a day when the dialogue became more and more fun and the feeling of excitement increased. On the other hand, expressing scenes of Asahi’s love and kindness is a big hurdle for me. Although it was difficult, I thought again that I would like to challenge myself one by one.” Sakurai also commented after the first day, “The three of us played at a good pace and had fun.” It seems director Takehiko Shinshiro, a master of romantic works, had a big hand behind it all.

I was saying “LOVE Senbon Knock” to the director, and I challenged myself several times until I could do Asahi’s cute expressions and phrases. I was well trained.

With Yuki-san and Minami-san, when I played together while being aware of the tempo, the dialogue became more and more fun. It was also a day that made me more excited about how the three of us would play in the future. On the other hand, expressing Asahi’s love scenes and kindness is also a major obstacle for me. Even though it is difficult, I again thought that I would like to enjoy each challenge.

As I read the script, I amuse myself with a smile thinking that if Kaito-kun performed this scene, everyone would be thrilled. On the first day of filming, there were a number of Kyun points, so look forward to it. When the director directs Kaito-kun, it feels like he’s talking to a dog, and I think that’s a good relationship.

A man (Kaito Takahashi) who was eating at an upscale restaurant suddenly leaves wife Tsukui Emma (Rin Kataoka) with him.

Kashiko Chatani (Yuki Sakurai), who worked for a small advertising agency and did daily mundane tasks, helped a client install billboards. Kashiko crashes into a passing man and smashes the panel. When I complained the man gave me the money as if it was embarrassing and then accused me of illegally installing the sign…!

Later, Kashiko is contacted by the police. What I visited with fear was… a hospital room. There is the face of this man I met a few days ago! He has amnesia and his identity is unknown. Kashiko’s business card, which was in his pocket, was the only clue that the police questioned him. Kashiko, who knows nothing about the man, tries to leave immediately, but… Just then, Wataru Sato (Minami Tanaka), who was the first to find out, arrives and Kashiko grows impatient. In fact, Wataru was Kashiko’s best friend in high school, but for some reason she’s moved away from him now. Wataru, meanwhile, is happy to see him again and innocently suggests that he help her.

Afterwards, Wataru and this man are happily chatting with their colleagues Kensuke Kurose (Seiya Suesawa) and Yodai Shiratori (Riki Honda)! In order to find out the identity of the man named Asahi, Wataru came to ask Kashiko to make some flyers for him. Then, by chance, Asahi finds herself working part-time in Kashiko’s company…!
