On a night in late July, “Pierre Taki and Hitoshi Daikon’s All Night Nippon Gold” was being recorded at Nippon Broadcasting System (Yurakucho, Tokyo). Ayano was making a guest appearance to promote “The Groundhogs,” a drama series in which he stars that has become a hot topic on the video distribution service Netflix. After the recording, Ayano came out of the building, lightly nodded to the staff, and walked around while making eye contact with the people around him, giving off a powerful aura that made him seem like a real groundhog.

The film is based on the novel “Jizushi Tachi” (Shueisha), which is based on the Sekisui House jizushi fraud case that occurred in ’17, and immediately after its release it topped the domestic replay rankings and became a hot topic. Etsushi Toyokawa plays the leader of the group of jichishi, and lead actor Ayano plays Takumi Tsujimoto, the on-site leader in charge of negotiations.

Pierre Taki, the all-night MC, also appears in the film as one of the group of jishis, and since Mr. Oneda is the director, it seems that all the actors wore “Jishis” limited edition T-shirts on the day of the recording.

Indeed, a closer look at the T-shirt worn by Ayano shows a man in kimono trying to remove the mask of Fukuzawa Yukichi in front of a wad of cash that resembles a skyscraper, and the Roman alphabet is “Jimenshitachi”.

The drama has received great acclaim from celebrities such as Hiroyuki Ariyoshi and Emiko Uenuma, and was Ayano’s first successful role in a while. A sequel to the original novel of “Jimenshitachi” has already been published, and expectations are high for a drama sequel. Nevertheless,

Speaking of Ayano, his first child with Yui Sakuma (29) was born this March. Ayano reported through her cell phone website that 《Both mother and child are healthy and are enjoying a peaceful and restful time》.

This year, she has already finished filming the movie “Maru” and the movie “Honshin,” both of which will be released this fall. It is said that she will take a rest for the rest of the year for the sake of her family.

We look forward to seeing what he can do after the rest.
