Brother and sister in the same frame! Worried about your brother's marriage?

▲ Matsushima Noriko and Matsumoto Junori ©Oricon NewS inc. attended the screening of the production of the TV series "Force Next Door" on Thursday.

Arashi member Jun Matsumoto and actress Naiko Matsushima attended a press conference in Tokyo on the 17th for the Asahidai series "Kazuyoshi Next Door" (which began airing every Thursday at 9 p.m. on the 20th). This is the third collaboration between Matsushima and Matsumoto. At the press conference, Matsushima also expressed concern about Matsumoto's "marriage" (?). ）。

This work tells the story of the mediocre man Kazuyoshi Nakaetsu, who is kind and has a great love for the ordinary people, but can't do anything, in the process of solving the troubles of people living in the same apartment, the apartment becomes a cohesive collective, and the bond between the apartment residents is deepening. In this work, Matsumoto also reversed his previous image, challenging the "mediocre man who can't go up and down" for the first time and opening up a new realm of acting skills.

At the press conference, Matsumoto, who starred as a representative of the luxurious cast, said: "This work is the first TV series I made from Asahi, and I am very happy. In addition, I feel very honored to be able to work with such a strong cast."

Watching Matsumoto tenderly from the sidelines was Matsushima, who had achieved his third collaboration through this work. The first time was "brother and sister", and the second time was "the director of the detective agency and the new detective". When asked again about his impressions of Matsumoto, Matsushima smiled and replied, "I really think he has grown up and matured a lot." He really watched the scene and listened to all directions, and even put forward his own opinion on how much the shooting angle should be changed. I really think it's really powerful to have so much of a line to memorize and to have the energy to observe other things so carefully. And I feel more confident than before, and I feel as relieved as my parents..."

In addition, Matsushima also said, "However, if you say whatever you see, you will not be popular with girls." So I sometimes worry about him, can I meet a good girl? Can you get married or not? Something like that", while laughing, revealing his true thoughts. In this regard, Matsumoto complained: "This is too much to worry about!" (Laughs) When you say that, won't you just write about it! ", let the atmosphere of the venue become relaxed.

In addition to Matsushima and Matsumoto, Ueto Sai, Hidemi Motoyama, Sonim (Shōsei Ren), Shimizu Shinya, Kendo Nagao, Kazuyuki Asano, Jun Fukaze, and screenwriter Kazuhiko Youkawa also attended the press conference. Seiei Ozawa, who was scheduled to attend, was unable to attend due to ill health. (Fisherman's Bread/Translation)
