TBS recently held a press conference for their upcoming drama "Ouran High School Host Club", starring actress Kawaguchi Haruna and actor Yamamoto Yusuke.
The drama is set at a wealthy high school � Ouran High School -, and focuses on 'Fujioka Haruhi' (Kawaguchi) who attends the academy as scholarship student. However, she accidentally knocks over an antique vase and becomes a 'male host' to pay off her debt.
It's the first starring role for Kawaguchi and she commented, "I'm very nervous, but at the same time I'm also very excited and motivated. I feel like nothing can stop me." Further she added, "It's my first time wearing a male uniform, but I'm already getting used it it. It wouldn't be Haruhi without those clothes after all."
This season there are a total of three dramas with a 'danso' theme (woman disguised as a man), but Kawaguchi calmly commented, "I don't pay attention to them." She also sent out a cheer to fellow 'danso' Maeda Atsuko (AKB48), "I'm very grateful for all the movie events we did together, let's both do our best!" They both recently worked together for the movie "Moshidora".
Furthermore, Yamamoto had an interesting story to share about Kawaguchi. He revealed, "Haru-chan likes to sniff arms. She would suddenly ask you to let her sniff your arm and after a short while she would suddenly grab it and bite into it..." Yamamoto stretched out his right arm to demonstrate her strange hobby and Kawaguchi really didn't hesitate to sniff his arm right away in front of all the journalists. She bashfully commented, "When I see an arm, I can't help but wanting to sniff it."
He continued, "Everyone was already bitten by her." Everyone from the cast nodded, except Ryusei Ryo, her surprised junior from the same agency . He said, "I'm sorry, but I'm hearing this for the first time... I haven't been bitten yet." Maybe she just didn't want to give her junior the wrong impression.
On a more serious note, Yamato also revealed his first impression of Kawaguchi, "When we first met in the very beginning, she wouldn't say anything at all, but now she is the mood maker of the whole team. She seems to be afraid of strangers, but she loses that shyness very soon."
Nakamura Masaya, Chiba Yudai, Takagi Shinpei, and Takagi Manpei also attended the press conference. Furthermore, Daito Shunsuke, who is currently in New York for his play, sent a video message for everyone.
"Ouran High School Host Club" is going to start this Friday, July 22nd, at 12:20am.
