Cast Comment : Hanae Natsuki (as Sumizome Haiji)

[odorekijin]

Q1. Thank you so much for your work today! To start things off, give us your impressions after the recording.

---

This time, we got to know Haiji a little better: as Satou-san said, we got a glimpse of Haiji’s way of thinking, his weaknesses, when alone. But most importantly, Mashiro was sexy! We learned a lot about coolness and adult tactics (laugh).

Q2. This is your second drama CD volume as part of Rubileo. Have your impressions of your own character or the band members changed since last time? Were there any points that you were especially conscious of when acting?

 

---

Haiji was a bit more “brother-like” than last time. Cute, wasn't he? I think it was easier to play out as the main talk was about improving together, as a band. I found everyone in Rubileo to be actually very nice (laugh).

Each character was unique and hard to get to know, but it was fun to see how they felt about music and how they trusted each other, even though they may not directly say it!

Q3. In this volume, Rubileo shot their CD jacket. Do you have any personal memorable moments from magazine shoots that you'd like to share?

 

---

I'm so embarrassed to be photographed outside... It's alright if it's somewhere with few people, but I've been photographed in the middle of Harajuku before...! I think it's amazing that some people can be pictured without hesitation in the presence of so many people. If possible, I’d prefer indoor studios for next shoots!

Q4. In the imagine of Rubileo going to a sushi-go-round, what is the first thing you would order at a sushi bar?

 

---

Tuna... Maybe medium-fatty tuna. I’d finish with mackerel pike or sardines! Maybe that’ll be too much silver-skinned fish.

Q5. Finally, do you have any comments for your fans who are looking forward to the release of the CD?

 

---

Like in the first volume, Rubileo is very sexy, with the exception of Haiji, who is more low-key (laugh). I’m sure it’ll help you get a good night’s rest, so I hope you’ll listen to this CD every night, and recommend it to your friends. The music will keep on improving along with the drama, so please look forward to it!

NOTE　光り物 (hikari mono) is a sushi-restaurant term specific to sliced fish, but with their blue-ish silver skin left on. It is more distinguished than regular white meat fish, in Japanese cuisine, and is overall deemed as more delicate.
