Ayami Nakajo Delights Audience with Kiss-Induced Swollen Lips, “9 Heads” Style

On January 26, Ayami Nakajo (27) appeared at the opening day stage greeting for the movie “The Day the World Ends with You: FINAL”. When Nakajo appeared in a long pure white dress and white boots with Ryoma Takeuchi (30), the lead actor, Mayu Hotta (25), the co-star, and Shintaro Sugawara, the director, the audience gave a loud cheer and sighed.

Nakajo played the role of Raimi Ogasawara, the girlfriend of Hibiki Mamiya, played by Takeuchi, who died in season 3. Her only appearance in the theatrical version was a recollection scene, and the filming of that scene lasted only one day. Even so, the fact that she appeared at the stage greeting was a pleasant surprise for the audience,” said a writer for a movie magazine.

Nakajo is said to have a “miraculous 9 heads” style, but she is 169cm tall with a long neck and a small face. On this day, she was wearing all white, which made her face look even smaller. The audience seemed to be completely taken by her powerful style. Nakajo reminisced about past series,

He said, “There was a kissing scene (before he was shot). There was a kiss scene (before he was shot), right? After that, my lips swelled twice as much (laughs). I thought it was Ryoma-kun’s fault. I thought I might have contracted something strange, but since we were doing it on a very cold beach, I developed cold urticaria (in response to cold stimuli). That’s why my lips swelled up.

Takeuchi confessed. And Takeuchi?

My lips swell up when you kiss me (laughs)? That’s how powerful it is! I’m waiting for the kiss scene!

The audience burst into laughter. Nakajo, who also charmed the audience with her talk, stars in the movie “Amarokku,” which opens in April, opposite Noriko Eguchi (43) as a woman who marries Eguchi’s father, Tsurube Shofukutei (72), and becomes his stepmother. Nakajo is expanding her range not only as a top model but also as an actor, and expectations for her success this year are growing even higher.
