<p><span class="strongInContent"> I have an image that most late-night dramas are aimed at adults with themes of infidelity, but &#8220;Mr. Kurosaki&#8221; is a pure and cheerful drama that I think people of all ages will enjoy. I read the original story prior to filming, and I was so excited that I couldn&#8217;t sleep until late at night (laughs).</span></p>
<p> She says she is conscious of one thing when playing the role of Koharu, the main character who has never experienced love before.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It is important for her to be upset by Mr. Kurosaki&#8217;s approach. I am conscious of the &#8220;upset&#8221; so that Koharu&#8217;s purity is not destroyed.</span></p>
<p> Toyoshima cites as a turning point in her career the drama &#8220;Totto-chan! (TV Asahi) in 2005. (TV Asahi), in which she played the role of the main character, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi (92), in her childhood.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Totto-chan!&#8221; was the first time I voluntarily gathered information and thought about a role. was the first time I gathered information and thought about the role on my own. Until then, I had been receiving acting instruction from my mother for the filming. In my mind, it was my first step toward independence. After &#8220;Totto-chan,&#8221; my mother stopped accompanying me on set for a while.</span></p>
<p> The movie that brought her to the attention of Netflix, &#8220;Shinkansen Daihaku&#8221; (&#8220;The Great Bullet Train Crash&#8221;), in which she played a student on a school trip who holds the key to the bombing, made the top 10 in viewer rankings in 80 countries.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I received comments from all over the world, especially on SNS,&#8221; she said. I was very happy to hear comments like, &#8216;I subscribed to Netflix to watch Shinkansen Dai Bakaku. I was also praised by people who said, &#8216;I didn&#8217;t know you could do this kind of acting. I feel I have grown as an actor.</span></p>

<p> He says that playing a serious role, which he had never done before, gave him new insights.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I thought the role would stay with me for a while after filming was over, but that was not the case at all (laughs). (Laughs.) I hear that actors who take possession of a character have a hard time getting out of the role. But I realized that I am the type of actor who puts the role through a filter. When the work is over, I remove that filter and that&#8217;s it. I think that&#8217;s why I get out of roles so quickly.</span></p>

<h2>The awesomeness of a great actress felt in the films she has co-starred in</h2>
<p> Toyoshima, who continues to evolve as an actress, has an actress as a target.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Takako Matsu (48).&#8217; In 2009, we co-starred in the drama &#8220;Soyoda and Three Former Husbands&#8221; (Fuji Television Network). We played father and son, and she is a wonderful person, not only as an actress but also as a person. When he is in the waiting room, he is a friendly and &#8220;normal&#8221; person. But when the camera rolls, her aura as an actress comes out at once. I have always admired her, including the gap between the two.</span></p>
<p> Her firm and firm answers may make you forget that Toyoshima is only 18 years old. In her personal life, she also has a girlish side that is appropriate for her age.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I have many hobbies. Drawing, photography, reading, and watching anime&#8230;&#8230; are just a few. I especially like the anime &#8220;Shinkage no Kyojin. I like it because it is like watching the history of one world. But thankfully, I am very busy with work, so I haven&#8217;t been able to devote myself to my hobbies much lately. But it&#8217;s fun just to think, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to do that on my next day off! I enjoy just thinking about it. If I get a long vacation, I want to go on a trip to Turkey with my family!</span></p>
<p> When we asked her about her goals as an actress, her expression tightened again.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I want to broaden my acting range. I would like to play roles as a yankee or a gal. I want to keep challenging myself so that people will see that I have this side to me!</span></p>
<p> From the dark school trip student in her first film to a pure girl who has never experienced love. Mixing the two together, Toyoshima is getting one step closer to becoming the person of her dreams.</p>
