At 8:00 a.m. on April 15, actor Momori Matsuzaka (32 years old) appeared at the crowded Exit of JR Harajuku Station Takeshita-dori.
Dressed in a blue striped suit and wearing a red tie, Matsuzaka was surrounded by many staff members, extras, and ordinary passers-by, and was filming the TV series "If I Kissed Her Then" (broadcast every Friday at 23:15 on TV Asahi).
In front of the ticket gate of Harajuku Station, another actor in the show, Shin Iura (46), appears, and Matsuzaka, who is across the road, waves his hand happily as if he had met his idol. After the green light, Inura, dressed in a gray suit and a white tie, took off his glasses and walked toward Matsusaka, and the two of them walked together to Takeshita Avenue... It is such a scene.
After this scene was repeated five times, the director finally said OK, so Matsusaka, who was wearing a bench coat jacket, and Inura, who was wearing an unchanged suit, walked shoulder to shoulder to the crew bus parked on the ramp in front of Harajuku Station. Regarding the recent situation of Matsuzaka, who has just married actress Eirika Toda (32 years old), people related to the production of the TV series said so.
"Whether it's before or after marriage, he's very friendly to the staff, and his wind ratings in the crew are very good. But after getting married, Mr. Matsuzaka has always been very concerned about the time when shooting the scene.
Originally, he was not a very NG person himself, but recently if other actors NG, although his face would not show it, he would have a little irritable feeling in him.
Moreover, before getting married, he usually came to the shooting site a lot earlier, but recently he often pinched the point. The crew said privately that it should be because they cherished their time with their wives (laughs). ”
How did marriage to Toda affect Matsusaka's career?
"The former Toda 'actress with a lot of love' is also very famous in the circle. But in fact, when she is in love, she always tries her best, and even asks her father for advice about the men she is dating, and has a 'love dependent physique'. Because as long as you like each other, you will become eager to stay with each other all the time, so it is easy to make the other person feel very heavy, and finally lead to an increasing number of breakups.
Matsusaka, on the other hand, is a type that is not very good at getting along with people, and is only obsessed with games and goes straight to home as soon as the work is over. So this satisfied Toda's desire to be together all the time, so they eventually moved toward marriage.
Mr. Matsusaka is very 'axis' to his work, and when acting, even if it is not related to the main line of the story, he will learn it, and he has always used a very sincere attitude to shape the character. The staff also have a very deep trust in him, and his work has been scheduled for 2 years. Now in a working state of at least one TV series per year, at least one or two movies, plus various advertisements.
However, most of this is a job taken over before marriage. The impact of marriage on him will not be reflected until after this. Still, considering that he should play age-appropriate roles such as married people and fathers more widely in the future, marriage should have a positive impact on his career.

With a gentle attitude towards first-time people, "After the interview, many reporters have become his fans" (women's magazine writers), and so on, Matsuzaka also maintained a good impression after getting married. The "late arrival of the newlywed" on the shooting scene is also a manifestation of loving his wife. (Translated by Cang Yu)
