<h2>&#8220;Her face is so small!&#8221;</h2>
<p data-start="27" data-end="195">Early August, on a weekend night. At Tokyo Midtown Hibiya’s plaza (Chiyoda Ward), glowing with vivid illuminations, a drama shoot was underway, drawing a large crowd.</p>
<p data-start="197" data-end="268">And then she appeared—a nine-head-tall beauty: Ayami Nakajō (28).</p>
<p data-start="197" data-end="268"><strong>“They were filming for the October-season TBS drama Then Why Don’t You Try Making It Yourself, a scene with lead actor Ryōma Takeuchi (32) standing in the plaza in a suit. Many onlookers had gathered just to catch a glimpse of him, but suddenly, from another direction, came an ear-splitting cheer, almost like a scream. Turning to look, we saw Nakajō walking forward, guided by staff,”</strong> said an eyewitness at the scene.</p>
<p data-start="697" data-end="911">Wearing a sleeveless top, white pants, and a red scarf around her neck, Nakajō looked absolutely glamorous. From the crowd came shouts of “What a figure!” and “Her face is so small!” The buzz never died down.</p>
<p data-start="697" data-end="911"><strong>“The drama is a live-action adaptation of Natsuko Taniguchi’s manga of the same name, which has sold over 400,000 copies. Summer’s Ayumi Yamagishi (played by Kahō, 34), a woman who has lost herself in always putting her partner first, is pitted against Katsuo Ebihara (Takeuchi), a man with a ‘women should cook’ patriarchal mindset. Nakajō plays Tsubaki Kashiwakura, whom Ebihara meets on a matching app and who becomes his very first female friend,”</strong> explained a TV magazine writer.</p>
<p data-start="1408" data-end="1487">Speaking about her role, Nakajō commented on TBS’s official site (August 12):</p>
<p data-start="1408" data-end="1487"><strong>“When I heard Tsubaki’s character profile, I felt there were parts of her I could relate to. I think I’m similar to Tsubaki in that I also tend to say what I think too directly, so I’m really looking forward to playing her. I’d be happy if I could grow through this role.”</strong></p>
<p data-start="1769" data-end="1871">With Tsubaki being so close to her real personality, Nakajō’s performance is sure to draw attention.</p>
