Ryoma Takeuchi takes a picture of Kaho from the dark during the filming of a drama series for the October season!　A friendly scene in a park at night between locations.

Ryoma Takeuchi crouches in the dark.

A woman sits alone on a bench at night with her hair dyed pink and in a pink and orange-coded fashion. She may look flashy, but her expression was very lonely as she gazed blankly at a couple passing in front of her – a couple.

This is actually a scene from “Then, You Make It” (TBS), which began airing on October 7. The woman is Kaho (34), who plays the main character, Ayumi Yamagishi.

The film is a romance comedy based on the popular manga of the same title by Natsuko Taniguchi, a manga artist who won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Award at the 26th Osamu Tezuka Cultural Award. Kaho plays a woman who has lost sight of herself because she has been playing the role of a “lover-first girlfriend.

(TV magazine writer) As far as this magazine witnessed, Kaho was the only one acting that day, but there was a man filming her performance with his own camera. It was the other main character, Takeuchi Ryoma (32).

Takeuchi’s character, Ebihara Katsuo, is Ayumi’s boyfriend. He is a “fossil” man who does not fit in with the Reiwa era, in which “it is natural for a woman to cook! In the first episode, he proposes to Ayumi, his ideal girlfriend, but is summarily rejected, not realizing that the reason for his rejection was “moral harassment” that he had unknowingly committed. After being rejected, he tries to understand Ayumi’s feelings as much as possible by trying his hand at chikuzen-ni, a dish she used to be very good at.

The viewer is initially annoyed by Katsuo’s attitude and behavior, but his “moral harassment” is so natural that he does not take offense to it. On social networking services, viewers commented, “I can’t hate Katsuo, I want to root for him. I can’t hate Katsuo, I want to root for him,” and “Katsuo is the strongest in a sense.

The show got off to a good start, ranking first in the trending list on X immediately after its airing. In the last scene of the first episode, Katsuo encounters Ayumi, who had a prim and proper atmosphere, dyes her hair pink and transforms into a cheerful person.

Let us return to the scene at the beginning of the film. The filming took place in a park at night in early August. The lights shine brightly only on Kaho. The film crew was gathered around her, but a little away from them, in the darkness, Takeuchi, dressed in a suit, was crouching alone.

Takeuchi-san’s hobby is film cameras, so he probably used his own camera. He seemed to be taking pictures of Kaho. He was looking at her angles and facial expressions, and he was clicking the shutter repeatedly with a very serious expression on his face. She was concentrating on the shooting, or perhaps she was talking with the staff between shots, but she didn’t look at me, as if she didn’t notice Ms. Takeuchi. When we finished filming the scene, Takeuchi-san was smiling and laughing,” said a person who was watching the filming.

The atmosphere on the set was said to be cheerful and friendly. One can only hope for more developments in the future.
