A short Q&A with Narimiya Hiroki


A short Q&A with Narimiya Hiroki with questions from a reader in Kumamoto.

Q. What do you do on your off days?
A. I often went out in the past but contrary to what I expected, I didn't have many good encounters so the time I spent at home has increased. I like black tea and I drink that. I buy it from specialist stores.

Q. What does the drama 'Aibou' mean to you?
A. A new step. It was my good fortune that it became a work I chanced upon as I turned 30. If this was fate, it headed in a lucky direction for me.

Behind the scenes of 'Tsuna Hiichatta!'

5th December 2012 14:21:53
Theme: Blog

Our leader Captain Chiaki (Mao-chan) and Saori (me)


Time: After everyone has taken their baths
Place: The usual dressing room
Dress code: What you wear to sleep
※ Girls only

One dressing room was cleared and we lined up cardboard boxes, laid on a tablecloth and started our hand-rolled sushi party.

On that day, the staff gave us a project. We wrote the name of our 'favourite male staff member' on paper and the voting produced a No.1 among raucous enthusiasm. Hahaha.

The movie 'Tsuna Hiichatta!' was on location for 40 days and even when filming had ended, everyone was together making a ruckus.

On our days off, we went a little further out to the sand baths of Beppu and to the onsen in Yufuin♪

The girls being together for an extended period of time, even when the director has given his OK, we would just stay put and continued chatting (*laugh*)

I was thinking that we managed to get along great in real life too (*^▽^*)

'Tsuna Hiichatta!' is doing well so we have the privilege of continuing with more promotional work ♥ Saori

To everyone who watched 'Tsuna Hiichatta!'!
Thank you very much.
I felt happy reading your warm responses and comments.

I think the power of the tug rope girls can still deliver smiles, spirit and courage to the whole of Japan.

And...
I have an announcement to everyone who has always supported me.

I will be in the movie 'Shazai no Ousama'.
Kudou Kankurou x  Mizuta Nobuo x Abe Sadao-san
I'm so happy to be part of this strong team.
A comedy beyond your imagination! An intense world view.

There's still some time before it opens
but I can't wait for everyone to see it.

By the way, we're in the middle of filming now.
Some of you who watched the media blitz on Nippon TV the other day might have noticed it, my hair is black again and my fringe is even.

I'm sure Manager K-chan has taken a really nice photo so please wait a while.
