Synopsis :
Nanami has just started high school. She wishes to make many friends, but makes a huge mistake already. She forgets a girl's name so she asks a random guy in the hall what the girl's name was. The guy tells her it is "Mizuhara". During the nomination for a class president, Nanami nominates Mizuhara. It turns out that the girl's name was Mizuguchi, not Mizuhara, and so Nanami ends up being the class president...
Nanami gets angry at the guy, who is named Motoharu. She also finds out that Motoharu is very popular and is liked by at least 2/3 of the class. Well, it looks like Nanami is in the rare 1/3!
However, after a failing moment (her math test), she goes to the roof top and spots Motoharu. Though Nanami feels that Motoharu is an irresponsible and crude guy, he has a charming smile and develops a liking for him

Hmm.But if Ikuta Toma were to wear yellow briefs, that will be awful (Laugh).
Please pardon Yamashita for saying this.
I'm wearing black briefs now (Laugh).That's not true, I'm wearing boxers.
Whatever underwear I wear doesn't matter (Laugh).
What is the relationship between Ikuta Toma & Yoshitaka Yuriko?
hahaha... Friday ni mcm2...
On Friday, the notorious tabloid and pictorial magazine FRIDAY published a snapshot of actor Ikuta Toma and actress Yoshitaka Yuriko holding hands with their fingers entwined, sparking curiosity as to the status of their relationship.
The truth is that the picture was taken the morning after a very fun get-together back in the beginning of July between Ikuta, Yoshitaka, Takaoka Sosuke, Motokariya Yuika, Mori Kanna, and another unknown young man. The first four are all actors who just finished filming the live-action movie adaption of “Bokura ga Ita” (“We Were There”), scheduled to open in cinemas next spring. Furthermore, Mori and Yoshitaka are good friends. Apparently, the group organized this get-together to tighten their bonds for the sake of having better on-screen chemistry in their movie.
Higashiyama Noriyuki praises Ikuta Toma at “Genji Monogatari” event

On September 25th, Higashiyama Noriyuki, Ikuta Toma, Nakatani Miki, and Tabe Mikako attended an event for their movie, “Genji Monogatari -Sennen no Nazo-“, at Roppongi Hills Arena.
In 1991, Higashiyama played the role of ‘Hikaru Genji’ in the drama, “Genji Monogatari“. He praised Ikuta, who plays ‘Hikaru Genji’ in the movie, by saying, “I am a little bitter, but I am happy. I think this became the work that will represent Toma.” Then he commented on Ikuta’s purple attire with, “He is becoming a man who matches in ‘purple’. I am happy about that too.”
The movie is a history entertainment film that is based on Murasaki Shikibu’s “Genji Monogatari”. Set in the Heian Dynasty, it portrays the love stories of ‘Hikaru Genji’ and author Murasaki Shikibu at the same time.
While Higashiyama revealed, “At first, I honestly thought, ‘Oh, Toma is Hikaru Genji’,” but he was attracted to Ikuta’s ‘Hikaru Genji’ after watching the film. He smiled as he said, “Not only is this Toma’s representative work, it has become mine.” Meanwhile, Ikuta said, “I’m honored,” in response to his senpai’s compliments.
Nakatani, who plays the role of ‘Murasaki Shikibu’ commented, “When I saw Ikuta-san’s Hikaru Genji, it was as if he had a noble and beautiful aura since he was born. I will never forget that scene.” Meanwhile, Tabe, whose character falls in love with Hikaru Genji, expressed, “I’m very touched to meet Nakatani-san and Higashiyama-san, who I didn’t get to shoot with.”
In the movie, Higashiyama plays ‘Fujiwara no Michinaga’. “When I saw the script at the office, I thought, ‘Hikaru Genji at this age?’, but it turned out to be Toma,” he shared, then enthusiastically stated, “Michinaga has an image that is played by a older senpai, so it’s my turn to play that role. I will do my best to assist Toma.”
The cast appeared at the event, while walking down a purple carpet. Ikuta commented, “This was my first time walking down a carpet, so it became a good experience,” and shook hands with 1,000 women who gathered at the event.
“Genji Monogatari -Sennen no Nazo-” will hit theatres on December 10th.
