Amidst the loud cheers, Kawaguchi expressed his thoughts, saying, “Thank you everyone. I really feel like the drama is about to begin.”
Afterwards, a press conference was held at the venue, and Kawaguchi said about the work, “It’s about three sisters, ages 19, 29, and 39, and they are in the last year of each generation, “9 Borders,” and they are thinking about work, love, family, and the future. It’s a story about a family who are trying to find their own life, feeling nervous and worried about what to do.Of course, there’s love, so it’s a human love story that you can watch on a Friday night with a positive attitude. She explained her role, saying, “I’m the second daughter.In the family, I’m a very solid person, and the Oba family also has a lot of things to learn about, but it’s a comically interesting family environment. I also have a younger sister who is 10 years younger than me, and while my older sister is quite independent, Nanae is busy doing things around the house and working hard at work.”
Hata said, “I will play the role of 19-year-old Hakkai, the third daughter of the Oba family.Among the three sisters, Hakkai is relatively relaxed among the three sisters, and is a free-spirited person who works at her own pace.A ronin student. However, I am a 19-year-old girl who is unsure about the future and feels a little anxious and anxious, but I also have many conflicts and worries about my family and love life.”
It seems that the three sisters, including Haruka Kinami, who plays the role of June, are always talking lively on set, and Kawaguchi says, “Even in the script, they talk a lot.It’s great, including the innocent conversations that only sisters can have.” I thought we were talking, but before I knew it, the three of us were talking about things like waiting time.” Hata shared her impression of Kawaguchi, saying, “I think she’s a tough and strong woman.” Then, when I was having a bit of a hard time getting a sense of distance, he said to me, “Come on, Meiku-chan! Let’s eat together.” We were able to get to know each other quickly, and he’s been helpful,” she said with a smile.
At the end of the press conference, Hata, who will be celebrating his 22nd birthday on April 10th, was brought a surprise birthday cake and presents, and Hata, who couldn’t hide his surprise, said, “I’m so surprised that I can’t even say anything right now.” It was my dream to celebrate my birthday while I was working on a drama, so thank you very much.”
Lastly, speaking on behalf of the cast, Kawaguchi said, “I think there are many choices in life, and I think everyone is working really hard in various environments and situations.I am anxious, but I am also considerate. I think this is a story about people searching for their own individuality and life even though they are worried about whether or not it’s okay, so I hope everyone will watch it and enjoy it in a positive and cheerful way. It’s very beautiful, the sets and everyone’s costumes are cute, and there’s a lot to see, so please enjoy it. Thank you.”
