Akachu’s casting image becoming more established

This season, Tristone is casting Eiji Akachu ( 29 ) is starring in the Thursday drama “Kocchi o muite yo mukai kun” (Nippon Television Network). Although the ratings are not good, TVer has already registered 500,000 The drama is also well-received by viewers.

He is also the star of the “Love Lost Boys” series, in which he plays the role of a love-obsessed boy. 30 He is also the star of “The Wizard of Magic” ( ’20 In 2008, he played a guy who is a bit of a love junkie. (TV Tokyo), which was well received, Puppy Boys He got his break as a He continued to play mainly with older actors and maintained his cute image. From there, he gradually began to play hot roles and so on, and was able to make the transition to an acting career without giving viewers a sense of discomfort. The two companies’ strategy was to create a new type of actor, one who could play the role of a cute character.

So why did the strategies of the two companies become so contrasted? Another entertainment reporter wonders if it has something to do with the complexes at Johnny’s. “Johnny’s actors are basically the same as everyone else,” he says.

Johnny’s actors are all basically members of idol groups, and their faces are more natural as idols. That’s why they don’t like to be told that their acting skills as actors are not good enough. If they play the same character all the time, they might be called ‘idol acting,’ so they tend to choose characters who are the complete opposite of them, saying, ‘I can play this kind of role, too.

But it is completely premature. It is not because you play different characters that you become an actor, but because you have developed your acting skills and can play a wide range of roles. Johnny’s has a lot of excellent talent, although there is a lot of controversy. I hope that they will carefully nurture the abilities of their talent without rushing.

Can young actors continue to grow? Can young actors continue to grow? The talent of an entertainment agency is being questioned.
