<h2>They go out to dinner together or meet at home.</h2>
<p> Love Power Kingdom 2&#8243; (ABEMA) is a new kind of romantic reality show in which 16 beautiful men and women, who have spent their lives being irresistibly popular, play the game of love. The show has also become a hot topic for its high-level love techniques, such as &#8220;finger-pinching kissing&#8221; and &#8220;nose-deep kissing.</p>
<p> The two girls who made &#8220;Love Kin 2&#8221; a hit from the beginning are Mariya Nagao (31) and Yume Hayashi (30), two &#8220;bombshell beauties&#8221; who have also appeared in FRIDAY, and are actually good friends in private life. We had no idea that these two would become rivals on a romance TV show. We asked the two &#8220;Mariyume&#8221; about their &#8220;true relationship.</p>

<p> -Nagao: &#8220;We were introduced by a mutual friend.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nagao</span>: &#8220;I think we were introduced by a mutual friend. At first, we became good friends while playing together as a group of good friends rather than just the two of us. From the first time we talked, I felt that we fit well and that our values and way of life were similar to mine.</p>
<p> I think we have similar personalities in that we are tough and like to drink, but we also have the same &#8216;if it&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s OK&#8217; personality. When I went on a trip to Fukuoka with some good friends, we played until morning (laughs).</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Hayashi</span>: &#8220;We originally had a lot of mutual friends and I was one of the members who drank with everyone. We would often meet when we would get together as a regular group.</p>
<p> But after working together on &#8220;Love Kin,&#8221; we started seeing each other much more often. Now we go out for dinner together or meet at home, sometimes two days in a row.</p>
<p> -What do you like about each other?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nagao</span>: &#8220;Their openness and honesty. Yume can get along with anyone, and I think her ability to treat people equally without being bound by preconceptions or reputation is also attractive. Also, I don&#8217;t have to tell you this, but of course I love her face and style, she&#8217;s just too cute!&#8221;</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Hayashi</span>: &#8220;Mariyagi has a unique, calm and soft atmosphere and way of speaking. She is a good listener. She is a big sister, but sometimes she is sweet and cute. I love her kindness and attentiveness to everyone, and there are so many other things about her (laughs). Also, I simply love her face!&#8221;</p>

<h2>Difficulties unique to the &#8220;super first-team girls</h2>
<p> -Did you feel that you were rivals with each other after participating in Lovekin 2?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nagao</span>: &#8220;To be honest, I thought, &#8216;You are pretty tough &#8230;&#8230;&#8217; (laughs). (laugh) I felt that we were rivals because our approach styles are similar, and because we are rivals, I felt that I wanted to stay until the end together.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Hayashi</span>: &#8220;Of course, I knew him from the beginning and knew that he was popular with everyone, so he was my rival. Hayashi: &#8220;Of course, I had known them for a long time and knew that they were popular with everyone, so they were rivals. We were tied for last place in the first round (of votes from men), and the two of us kept consoling each other and saying things like, &#8220;We&#8217;re in trouble,&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;m glad we made it anyway.</p>
<p> -Please tell us your impressions after watching the distribution.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nagao</span>: &#8220;Neither of us is the type to aggressively go forward, but when I saw Yume expressing her feelings for the other halfway through the episode, I thought she did a great job. Yume is a very beautiful &#8220;first-team girl,&#8221; and I think there was a barrier for the men who wanted to go for her but couldn&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Hayashi</span>: &#8220;I thought, &#8216;You are the usual Mariyagi&#8217; (laughs). (Laughs.) She is really good at shortening the distance between people, no matter who they are, and I think this is what makes her popular.</p>
<p> In &#8220;Love Kin,&#8221; you have to use various techniques and make people think you like them, but &#8220;Mariyagi&#8221; probably isn&#8217;t aware of any of that herself. But Mariyagi&#8221; is probably not conscious of anything herself. But the distance and her aura make people like her. I felt that a little while watching the program, and I thought, &#8220;That&#8217;s great.</p>

<p> -If you were a male participant, do you think you would like each other?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nagao</span>: &#8220;Of course I would go for Yume!　She&#8217;s my type in terms of looks and I think she would be an attractive woman even if I were a man!　I want Yume to kiss me too, just like she did on air.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Hayashi</span>: &#8220;I would like it!　I&#8217;m a woman, but I could go on and on about what I like about Mariya. I&#8217;m a simple person, so I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll fall for her easily.&#8221;</p>
<p> The two have deepened their friendship even more after the hot sparks they exchanged in Love Kin 2. We hope that you will pay even more attention to Mariyume, a duo of beautiful women who are sure to be a hit with the ladies.</p>
