The scene clips released for the first time include the moment when Mob (Inukai Takato), a university student in the world of the BL manga, witnesses the situation that developed into BL romance, Ayato (Yutaro) smiling as he eats his favorite pudding, Kikuchi (Asahi Ito), who is wholeheartedly in love with Mob, gazing at one spot, and Ayato's boyfriend Tojo (Akihisa Shiono) holding out his hand.
Furthermore, comments from the main cast have been revealed. Lead actor Inukai said, “How did this happen…?!”, Yutaro said, “I’m happy to be able to work together again,” Ito said, “It was an unexpected twist!”, and Shiono said, “I was full of anxiety until we started shooting,” revealing their surprise and joy at the decision to make this film. Meanwhile, Sekoguchi, who took on the challenge of the BL world for the first time, looked back on shooting and said, “Everyone was so warm and helped me to fit in.” Please look forward to more updates!
▼ Atsuhiro Inukai said,
“When I heard the production was decided, I thought, ‘How did this happen…?!’ This time, a new “assassin” named Hatano appears, making the situation around Mob even more complicated, which I think will make it more interesting to watch. We packed it full of ad-libs, reactions, and funny faces to the very limit, to the point where we thought, "I can't take any more!", so we hope you enjoy it as well. We rushed through the three weeks of shooting with incredible enthusiasm, just like adolescence! I hope you take a break and enjoy watching it when you are tired from your busy daily life.
▼Yutaro said,
Above all, I was happy to be able to work with Inukai and Shiono again. This time too, we had a fun shoot messing around seriously but also sprinkling in some ad-libs. There was one scene where I couldn’t stand Inukai’s ad-lib and ended up laughing. For the scene with Tojo, we considered and discussed many different angles and how to best present it, so I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s reactions. The story also depicts the anxiety that comes with being in a romance, as well as Ayato’s painful thoughts and true feelings. I think there are many scenes that viewers will be able to relate to as a life-sized romance drama.
▼ Asahi Ito said,
I’m very honored to be able to participate again. Last time, I was personally intrigued by the ending, but when I read the script, I thought, “Is this how it’s going to turn out?!” (lol) This time, in addition to the usual interesting unique worldview, there was also a realistic, messy romance. As Kikuchi, the character I play, I began to feel jealous when I saw Mob getting along well with Hatano. This drama won’t disappoint viewers. I hope you’ll support Kikuchi’s romance as well.
▼ Akihisa Shiono said,
I was very anxious right up until we started shooting, thinking “Honestly, can I do this?” (lol) But those who are familiar with this story have established the image of Tojo as “the man who makes roses bloom,” and this time around there are plenty of scenes that are synonymous with Tojo. However, Tojo himself believes that he must be extremely serious, so he is extremely serious about both the rose scene and the scene with Ayato. Laugh, comment, enjoy this episode, and I’m sure you’ll have roses on your back. After watching the drama, please try taking a rose bath. Thank you.
▼ Comment Ryo Sekoguchi
The charm of the character I play, Hatano, is his strong core that keeps his strong heart. And I thought to myself, "Wow, how could he have been holding on to his feelings for eight years..." (laughs). While I was acting, I was hoping that his feelings reach Mob. It was my first time acting in a BL work, so I was nervous and tense, but everyone was very warm and helped me to fit in. And I was able to approach the shooting with peace of mind. I hope to breathe fresh air into the world of this drama as Hatano. Please look forward to it!
■GENIC Comment
Thank you for choosing GENIC as the theme song!
"New Game!!" has an impressive, distorted guitar phrase in the intro, a sound that makes you want to sway your body, and lyrics that express a strong will that blows away the anxiety of taking on new challenges.
The vocals also have an aggressive nuance, and the song could be said to be a "new starting point" for GENIC. We look forward to seeing "NEW GAME" portrayed in various ways in the drama, including romance!
