The cast of the upcoming Fuji TV drama 'Shitsuren Chocolatier' attended a press conference on January 9. 'Shitsuren Chocolatier' is a romantic comedy about the struggles of a young man who becomes a chocolatier in order to impress the girl and now married woman that he loves.
Arashi's Matsumoto Jun plays the chocolatier and actress Ishihara Satomi the married woman. He commented on her role, "She is such a devilish woman and I thought that there is now way I could like someone like her. However, now that Satomi-chan is playing her, I'm starting to like it. I'm getting excited every time she turns into this devilish woman."
Throughout the drama, the protagonist has various odd fantasies about the woman he loves. Ishihara stated that they are quite extreme like her taking a chocolate bath at midnight. There are plenty such scenes where the protagonist imagines things while having a gross expression on his face. "I'm really troubled by those scenes and I was surprised at the faces Matsumoto-san can make," she commented.
At the event, they also reminisced about their Valentine's Day memories. Matsumoto revealed, "As a man I'm usually always on the receiving end, but there was also one year when I gave chocolate to a co-star of mine during the filming of a drama. It was an older woman." He later confessed that this woman was actress Koyuki and that it happened during the filming of their drama 'Kimi wa Petto' in 2003. "I was playing her pet and yet it was me who gave her chocolate. It would be normal for it to be the other way around and so she was really surprised. I was glad she liked it."
Ishihara also confessed, "During junior high, there was on older boy from two classes above me that I had a crush on all the time from my 1st to my 4th year. I made him chocolate every single year. In the 4th year I heard from one of his friends that he actually doesn't like chocolate and so I made him a madeleine that year."
The conference was also attended by Mizukawa Asami, Mizuhara Kiko, Mizobata Junpei, and Arimura Kasumi.
