Igarashi plays "Isabella", who is disguised in women's clothing and is more lady-like than regular girls. �When he was asked if it was hard to play the role, he answered, "I had to go on a diet for a month and removed my mustache by laser. �I also had to practice my lady mannerisms."

According to Igarashi, after playing the role of "Isabella", he started taking good care of his skin by using expensive lotion, and has many beauty tools (such as facial massage roller and steamer). �During the talk show, Igarashi taught the audience how to look elegant, which is something he learned for the role.



Igarashi also talked about Mukai Osamu's (who plays George) first impression, "He was really�mysterious at first. �Since he is older than other cast members, we did not really have conversations. �I thought he was acting cool because of his George role." �However, they got along eventually, and they were playing around together, such as taking a prank picture themed "love affair", which was a 2-shot of Mukai and Igarashi in Isabella's lingerie.

"Paradise Kiss" is set to be released on June 4th.
