Starring:
Abe Kuan
Graduated from Chuo University (Japan), Faculty of Engineering. In his freshman year of university (1986), he began his acting career by participating in the Shueisha "Third Non-no boy", which was selected and won the "Third Non-boy Award". It went on to set a record for forty-three consecutive covers since the inception of Men's non no.
In 1983, he was persuaded by his sister to go to the Non-NO BOY FRIEND Grand Prix for the winning car, but unexpectedly succeeded. Since then, Abe has become a flat model for magazines such as NON-NO, and his height of 1.89 meters and sharp facial features have attracted countless fans for him. As the world's successive cover characters in the same magazine were recorded by Guinness for the most times:
Satomi Ishihara
Japanese film and television actor. Born on Christmas Eve 1986 in Rimi Ishihara, Tokyo, Japan, at the age of 15, she was selected by Horiporo and officially entered the acting industry as an actress after winning the award. In fact, when she was a child, Rimi most wanted to become a radio host, but when she happened to see Fujiwara Norika who starred as a DJ in the TV series "With Love" when she was in elementary school, she had the idea that "as long as she becomes an actress, she can be a DJ" - what made her start to move towards the profession of actress was such a cute misunderstanding.
