On March 20th, members of acting group,�D-BOYS, held a rehearsal for their upcoming stage play, "Sabishii Magnet".

In the play,�Araki Hirofumi shares a passionate kiss with fellow member�Endo Yuya.�He confessed, "I'm glad I only have to kiss Yuya." Araki then shared what the appeal of the play was, saying, "The kiss is just the appetizer in the story, it's like a side dish of 'edamame' (soybeans). The main story is even more interesting, so we want to tug at everyone's hearts without stopping at the kiss scene."

"Sabishii Magnet" is an original story by Scottish playwright,�Douglas Maxwell, and this will be the first time it will open in Japan. Set in a small town near the coast, the story follows the life of 4 young boys who reunite after 10 years. Each role will be played by 2 people, and the members will all portray roles of 9, 19, and 29-year-olds.

Araki, who turns 29 this year, commented on his challenge playing a 9-year-old, "Although I've experienced it, it was difficult to play the role with this body at this age."

Meanwhile, Seto Koji smiled as he said, "I played the role while trying not to think that I was a 9-year-old." He contined, "It's a difficult performance and role, but as an actor, I'm fired up. I was able to feel that it was worthwhile."

This will be D-BOYS first time to take the stage at the Shibuya Bunkamura Theater Cocoon. The members expressed, "It's our dearest dream. We are filled with happiness."

"Sabishii Magnet" will open at Shibuya Bunkamura Theater Cocoon from April 8th to the 28th. The boys will then travel to Theater Brava! in Osaka for performances from May 3rd to the 6th.
