Ya! I watched both with subs! so here comes another wave of useless thoughts and ramblings! XD

LF ep.10:

Suri, you said "what a punk ass way to go out". I completely agree.

It was really out of character the way ruka reacted, it might be the first (and hopefully the last) writing inconsistency this show had, hehehehe. She might have cut him, give him a good whack in the back of the head (more damage) instead of such a lame sissy hit in his back with the lamp, knee his nuts, anything would have been more believable.
Some might say "but she was wounded in spirit", I say give me a break, she acted like a weak woman. Isn't it her whole issue that she's a man trapped in a woman's body? that just tells me the writers didn't know what to do with her character. It's not even a gender issue anymore, ruka's supposed to be a strong person, and even though strong people have their weaknesses... the ruka I know would have reacted more... how to put this... hero-like?
They fell into the cliché that a man's body is stronger than a woman's. Ruka's a sports girl, she's in good physical shape, "him" was powered by his craziness, but even with that, he wasn't fighting with his all (like he's with michiru) because the things ruka said before were still in his head and he's not attracted that way to ruka (I mean, enough to even go through the rape).

Still, my ruka came back after. Even crying inside the changing room at that store.  Isn't it incredible though, that from one cut in her face takeru just knew? (and michiru didn't).

Let me now begin ranting about michiru. I've been thinking, some people are just born stupid, it's not their fault, it's not even something bad, they just are. Poor poor michiru is a stupid woman. She got bad luck with her family and "him" but she should have realized sooner that her friends (especially ruka) love her and will protect her no matter what (since she can't do it herself cause she's stupid, poor michiru XD). What I'm saying is... after all ruka's done for her, to her knowledge at the beginning of the eppy, she freaked and ran away just cause she found out ruka's true feelings for her? WTH is that? with not even a proper goodbye? ARG!!!!
Can't blame michiru for going back to her mother's place, but... going to "his" house, once again? COME ON!!!!!!!
For whatever reason, even a stupid person would have known better, even lab rats learn after getting zapped in conditioned response experiments! weren't all the beatings enough for michiru to learn to stay away from "him"? ARG!!!!!!!!!
So what happened to her next wasn't surprising at all. I was expecting another beating, another rape.
What made everything bearable to watch was that this time she made it clear (after the horrible stuff happened, but whatever, can't expect good timing to come from a stupid person) to "him" that she would let him destroy her in order to protect her friends. That her friends are now the most important people to her, that he's plummeted into just another villain in her heart. Which made him break down and decide to "end it all"... I gotta say... even though I know we're supposed to feel a little sympathy for him (cause he's a sick sick person after all) I felt good watching him cry.
I said  it in the beginning, I'll say it again, if michiru was an intelligent woman she would have know that what he needed was professional help, not her. Heck, it's not even about intelligence, it's about empathy. Knowing, or even trying to understand other people's feelings. So, michiru was not only stupid, she was also self-absorbed. Because she couldn't see past her own dilemmas and be good to the people around her.
It's good to know she finally learned though.
Watching "him" hug that wedding dress drenched in his blood... a sad picture. But I still don't feel sympathy for him. Let's hope he does die.

Eri telling it like it is to "him", way to go eri!!!! although I think she was too soft... she still made her point. Have I said this enough?: there should have been more eri shown in all LF. More eri!!!!
She also telling ogurin to go back to his wife, makes me think the upcoming wedding has to do with them, instead of the ruka-takeru-michiru-"him" arch.

Now... Ruka coming out to her dad.
OMG. That had me in tears. THAT'S the brave ruka I love. Her dad: the best father in all of Japan. Period. Such a good man, no wonder ruka came out such a wonderful person.
When her family showed their support at the race... my heart was filled with warmth. That's a family, loving each other in the good times, in the bad times, accepting each other, wishing each other happiness. I get all sappy now.

What's gonna happen with takeru's issues? who knows... hehehehe...

So, michiru's betrayal's is leaving ruka, she's pregnant with that guys baby, and he dies?, how is this all going to end?
I can't watch the raws... I must wait for subs... must... wait... resist... somehow...

*sighs*

Zettai kareshi ep.9:

FUN FUN FUN! now that naito's more human-like it's sooooo much better!!!! It should have been like this earlier!!!!
He was cheeky with "ma-kun", sweet to riika, funny with what's-her-name (the other patissier) and the double dating was soooo funny! he's even charging for the massages!
Riiko finally starts to get her act together (and manage to go by a whole episode without annoying me).
Shouji... what a slip... giving the adversary a tip to win the competition... I hope he realizes he did it. Hehehehe. She should have used chuao chocolate (venezuelan) instead, she wouldn't have needed the cayenne pepper. XD
I feel sorry for mika... good luck finding a better man than "the perfect boyfriend"... ROTFL!!!

Uwaaaaaaaa... shouji told riika he loves her!!!!!!!!! and naito's circuit-heart breaks (when she reciprocates)!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!
The beginning of the end for naito! Can he say "scrap yard"? LOL!

Maaaaaaaa... it may end just like the manga... it's gonna be bitter-sweet.

Finally! some resemblance of a love triangle! This should have come earlier!

The preview of episode 8: uwaa! abe tsuyoshi is the other robot lover! I didn't know that! sweet!

Yes, I have nothing to say, other than I love naito.

-Mizushima Hiro's Soushi Mutual Love!?-
-Part 4-

Theme Omoi Onna

In Episode 1, Riko was referred to as an "omoi onna" (serious woman) but for me, when I see a girl behaving that way, I don't think of it like that. She does her job properly and you feel like she's more reliable. For me, I do not dislike that type of woman.

Overbearing love is generally referred to as "omoi" (heavy), but the measure of that differs from people to people. I myself don't really know if the kind of things my partner does would feel "heavy". For example, like what you would see in television dramas "If we're not together, I would die !" Shouting such things, as might be expected, I would probably feel that. If that was said, it'd be scary. I'll pull back, yes (*laugh*). If it's that extreme, when I have to go out on a trip no matter what, then she'll grumble "You always have to be by my side, nooo !" That's a little heavy isn't it ? But then, that is also love when you're talking of love... Yeah, it's difficult (*laugh*)! One way to think of it is you want someone to properly know your intentions. I don't have a problem with being depended on and in fact, it makes me quite happy. But if she cannot do anything on her own without me by her side, then that's a problem. At the very least, it'll be good if she's someone who can take care of herself. If she's like that, even if it's somewhat overbearing love, I'll be able to take it. Going through personal suffering is a bother (*laugh*) but I think if a partner I love gives a little excessive love, as much as possible I would receive it, if doing so will give her peace of mind.

ﾃｰﾏ｢重い女｣
第1話で梨衣子が"重い女"と言われていましたが､僕は彼女の行動を見てて重いとは思わないんですよ｡ちゃんと仕事もしてるし､むしろしっかりしているように感じる｡僕はそういう女性は嫌いじゃないですね｡

一 般的に過剰な愛情が"重い"と言われるけど､ものさしは人それぞれだし､僕自身も相手に何をされたら"重い"と感じるのかがよくわからない｡例えばﾃﾚ ﾋﾞﾄﾞﾗﾏで見るような｢一緒にいてくれないと死んじゃう!｣なんて叫ばれたら､さすがにそう思うかも｡というか､怖い｡引きます､はい(笑)｡それは 極端だとしても､僕がどうしても外出しなくちゃいけない時に｢ずっと側にいてくれなくちゃｲﾔ!｣とかごねられるとちょっと重いかな｡でも､それも愛情と いえば愛情だし…｡う～ん､難しい(笑)!1つ思うのは､自分の意思はきちんと持っていて欲しい｡頼ってくれるのは全然かまわないしむしろ嬉しいけど､僕 が側にいなくちゃ何もできないのは困る｡最低限､自分で自分を守れる人がいいです｡そのうえでの愛情ならば､多少は過剰でも受け止めます｡人的被害があっ たりするのは困るけど(笑)､好きな相手が僕に過剰な愛情を捧げることで安心できるのであれば､それはなるべく受け止めてあげたいと思います｡

*********************************************************

Heavy love... makes you wonder how much you feel you can/could take in a relationship, ne.
Would naito be considered "heavy"? LOL!

What the hell is riika doing? I wonder... sure it was funny at first when she got "the chills" whenever naito would say sweet things to her (or suggest doing more *wink*), but you would think after she BOUGHT him, for such a HUGE amount of money that she's gonna have to pay till the day she dies that she would CARE more for her "purchase"!!!!
Arg! How can she expect naito to act human if she doesn't tell him anything? She only refuses him and does nothing to fix her situation with him... manga riika at least had the excuse of being a ditzy teenager, but dorama riika is an adult!
Is there any point in the change of place now? Zettai Kareshi writers: I implore you to put more thought in what you write!
Come on, the plot can give sooooo much more...

*BIG sighs* anyway, I'll still tune in, only because I adore naito (and drool for michi).

On to another dorama: Last Friends.
Last night I was hearing (for the nth time) Tori Amos' Under the Pink, ne, and it dawned on me, the song "Bells for her" could sooooooooooo be ruka and michiru's theme song! If I had any skills (or the software) to make a fan video... I would use this song, and scenes from the dorama.

-Part 3-

Theme Nakamura Shunsuke-san

This time I'll talk about Soushi's elder brother, the other person besides Aibu-san who I share many scenes with. The role of Masashi is played by Nakamura Shunsuke-san.

To me, he is a significant senpai so I was very nervous at first. I decided to be proactive in my 'breaking the wall tactic' and approached him to talk. No matter what we talked about, his response was always cheerful so we get along very well now. He's a good-humoured, candid person. When the production was just announced I told myself "I have to change myself a little," and now that we're getting along well, it's proof that I've done it (*laugh*). In the drama, Soushi and Masashi are at loggerheads with each other. Perhaps the reason why Soushi is working in the company is so that he will be recognized by his brother. But there's a part of him that refuses to give in no matter what, and that creates a big gap between them. That in turn brings about that rebellious attitude in him. From now on, the state of the sibling relationship will be on his mind but that self-centered part in him does not wish to be on good terms with his brother. When he hears "Let's do our best together," Soushi will always think that he's depending on others and won't go with that flow. Being a man like that is deplorable. But having said that, just going with the flow is not always interesting. Whether there'll be a confrontation, or if they'll part ways, I don't know yet but I want him to take some form of action. My apologies to Nakamura-san, but for the sake of Soushi's growth, I hope that some huge incidents like Masashi being defeated or overthrown will happen. Nakamura-san, I'm sorry (*laugh*).

ﾃﾞｰﾏ｢中村俊介さん｣

今回は相武さんと共に共演ｼｰﾝが多い創志の兄･将志役を演じている中村俊介さんについてです｡
僕 にとっては大先輩で最初は緊張しましたが､"壁崩し作戦"で僕から積極的に話しかけたら､何を話しても明るく返してきてくれて､とても仲良くさせていただ いてます｡気さくないい方です｡制作発表では､僕のことを｢ちょっと変わってる｣と言ってましたが､それも仲良くなった証拠だと思ってます(笑)｡劇中で は､創志と将志は犬猿の仲｡おそらく創志は会社を経営するという意味では兄を認めているんです｡ただ､どうしても譲れない部分があって､そこに大きなｽﾞ ﾚが生じてしまっているのでああいう反発的な態度をとってしまうんだと思います｡今後､この兄弟の仲がどうなるかは気になるところですが､僕個人的にはあ まり仲良くなって欲しくないんです｡"一緒に頑張ろうぜ"みたいな流れだとどうしても創志に甘えが出てくると思うし､それじゃ男として情けないし､かと いってこのままの流れもおもしろくない｡それが対立なのか､決別なのかはわからないけれど､何かしらのｱｸｼｮﾝを起こしたいです｡創志の成長を出すため には､中村さんには申し訳ないけど､将志を打ち負かすとか､将志が失脚するような大きな事件があることを期待したいところです｡中村さん､すいません (笑)｡

Hiro sounds like a very serious guy, ne? gives me a new perspective of him. ♥♥♥

Zettai Kareshi, interview with Mokomichi Hayami.
All credits for this translation go to GrumpyGeek @ Unleash the geek! (Thank you so much!)

Q. What did you think of Zettai Kareshi when you first heard of it ?
The first time I heard of it was "You're playing a robot-type of lover." Honestly, I was surprised (*laugh*) But when I read the original work, it was really interesting. I'm looking forward to portraying that image while the drama, up to now, is different from it. It's the first time I'm playing a robot and I feel excited about doing it.

Q. Do you have an image of how to play the role of a robot ?
When you hear robot, inevitably you're going to think of its jerky movements but the Tenjo Night I'm playing this time is an enhanced-performance humanoid robot. Regarding the movement, it's not really unnatural and it looks like I can move around more smoothly. Nevertheless, he's not perfectly human. He demonstrates superhuman ability and his thoughts and speech are a little off. How to show those robot-like parts, I think I'll have a feel for it during filming itself.

Q. What kind of character is Tenjo Night ?
He loves only one woman whole-heartedly, that type of man... no, robot I mean (*laugh*) As you would expect from a robot he doesn't have his own sense of self at first, everything is tied to 'loving Riko'.

Q. Before long, his sense of self is going to be awakened. How do you think you're going to play that part ?
Night is the type of robot who learns as he goes along, so as he comes into contact with Riko and Soushi, he will learn that he does not possess a human heart in himself. It's difficult to show much change in expression as he changes inside but I think it's good if for example, he is able to naturally show interest in things around him like a baby does when it starts to grow up.

Q. Night is very straight in showing his affection. Is there any part where he feels embarrassed ?
Not particularly. When he says "I love you" to Riko, or gladly does whatever she wants, these feelings are embodied in him already so being frank about it is important to him.

Q. What does Mokomichi-san think about Night being the perfect boyfriend ?
It's great how he puts in so much effort in everything, and I understand that. If I had someone I'm in love with, I don't think I can be as persistent as Night. But of course to be loved by someone, you have to give it a go with all your heart. Naturally, when you tell the other person that you love her, you want the other party to say the same thing back to you.

Q. What do you think a woman wants in an 'ideal boyfriend'?
I think everyone has their own ideal type and there's no universal ideal. Besides, I myself don't really know a lot of the things about the way women feel (*laugh*) But if I'm a woman, I'll be attracted to a man who puts in his utmost effort in everything he does.

Q. If you say that, then Night is Mokomichi-san's idea of an ideal lover, ne.
I would want anyone to look at me and think that way (*laugh*) At first, there were so many aspects lacking in him, but as he slowly grows up, I'll be happy if people started to think "It'll be great if such a robot can appear na." I'll work hard to be the Night than can tickle a woman's fancy !

Q. By the way, would Mokomichi-san want an "Absolute Girlfriend" robot ?
Well...., I'd want it ..... maybe (*laugh*)

Q. What sort of requirements will you program in this "Absolute Girlfriend" ?
For me, it's enough that she puts in the utmost effort in whatever she does. To soldier on, no matter what comes along, even if it feels hopeless, and working it out together, that's the ideal ne. When I have the time, I'll cook for myself but cooking by yourself and then eating by yourself is lonely... To cook with a girlfriend, that's what I yearn for ne. So, I think that's what I want, to cook together.

Q. Your impressions of Mizushima Hiro-san and Aibu Saki-san ?
This is the 3rd time I'm appearing together with Hiro-kun and the second time with Aibu-san. Hiro-kun is very serious but also a little spontaneous, he's interesting. Aibu-san is always full of energy and cheerful, a mood-maker during filming, livening things up. I get along with the both of them, so it looks like filming will be fun.

Q. Finally, please show your enthusiasm for Zettai Kareshi !
I think I will fully enjoy depicting a 'growing' robot who changes from his original configuration. The interweaving of a robot and human will create interesting parts and there'll also be the pain of love. This looks like it will turn out to be something new, so please watch it with anticipation !

Q.最初に｢絶対彼氏｣の話を聞いて､どう思われましたか?
最初に聞いたのが｢演じ るのは"恋人型ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄ"です｣で｡正直､ﾋﾞｯｸﾘしました(笑)｡でも､原作を読ませていただいたらとてもおもしろくて､これを映像にしたらきっと 今までとは違うﾄﾞﾗﾏができるんじゃないかと楽しみになりました｡ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄを演じるのは初めてですが､今はﾜｸﾜｸしていてやりがいを感じています｡

Q.ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄを演じるにあたりｲﾒｰｼﾞしていることはありますか?
ﾛ ﾎﾞｯﾄと聞くとどうしてもｷﾞｸｼｬｸした動きを想像してしまいますが､今回､僕の演じる天城ﾅｲﾄは高性能な人間型ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄ｡動きに関しては､あま り不自然なところはなく自然に演じられそうです｡だからといって完全に人間と一緒ということではないので､超人的な能力を発揮したり､思考や発言がちょっ とｽﾞﾚているようなﾛﾎﾞｯﾄらしい部分をどう演じていくかは現場で探りながらやっていこうと思います｡

Q.天城ﾅｲﾄはどんなｷｬﾗｸﾀｰですか?
1人の女性だけをひたすら愛する一途な人…いえ､ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄです(笑)｡ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄなだけに最初は自我がないので､言動すべてが"梨衣子を愛すること"につながっています｡

Q.やがて自我に目覚めていくようですが､どのように演じようと思っていますか?
ﾅｲﾄは学習するﾛﾎﾞｯﾄなので､梨衣子や創志と接していくうちに自分にはない人間の心を学んでいくと思うんです｡心の変化なので表現するのは難しそうですが､例えば赤ちゃんがいろんなことを吸収して育っていくような感じで自然に見せていければいいなと思ってます｡

Q.ﾅｲﾄは愛情表現がとてもｽﾄﾚｰﾄですが､照れはありませんか?
特にないです｡ﾅｲﾄの｢大好きだよ｣って言葉は､梨衣子のために何かをしたい､喜んでもらいたいという気持ちの表れなので､素直に言うことが大事だと思ってます｡

Q.ﾅｲﾄのような"絶対的な彼"を､速水さんはどう思いますか?
一生懸命なところは素敵だし､理解もできます｡もし僕に好きな人ができたとしたら､ﾅｲﾄほどしつこくないにしても､やっぱり好きになってもらおうと一生懸命頑張ると思うんです｡もちろん"好き"はちゃんと言葉に出して伝えたいし､相手にも言ってもらいたいです｡

Q.女性にとって"理想の恋人"とは､どんな彼だと思いますか?
理想のﾀｲﾌﾟは人それぞれなので一概には言えないと思います｡それに僕自身も女性の気持ちがわからないことの方が多いですから(笑)｡ただ僕が女性なら､何事に対しても一生懸命な男性に惹かれますね｡

Q.それでいえば､ﾅｲﾄは速水さんの"理想の恋人"ですね｡
僕より見ている方にそう思って欲しいです(笑)｡最初はいろんな面で足りない部分もありますが､どんどん成長していくうちに｢こういうﾛﾎﾞｯﾄが現れてくれたらいいな｣と思ってもらえたら嬉しいです｡女心をくすぐるようなﾅｲﾄになるように頑張ります!

Q.ちなみに速水さんは"絶対彼女"(ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄ)は欲しいですか?
そうですね…､欲しい｡……かも(笑)｡

Q.その"絶対彼女"にﾌﾟﾛｸﾞﾗﾑする条件は?
僕 に対して一生懸命であること､それだけでいいです｡何もかもやってくれると自分がﾀﾞﾒになっていきそうなので､一緒に作業をしてくれるのが理想ですね｡ 僕は時間があると自炊するんですが､1人で料理をして1人で食べてると寂しくて…｡彼女と一緒に料理するのって憧れますね｡なので､一緒に料理をしたいと 思います｡

Q.水嶋ﾋﾛさん､相武紗季さんの印象は?
ﾋﾛくんは3回目､相武さんは2回目の共演｡ﾋﾛくんはとても真面目だけどちょっと天然でおもしろいし､相武さんは常に明るく元気で現場を盛り上げてくれるﾑｰﾄﾞﾒｰｶｰ｡気心知れた2人なので､楽しい現場になりそうです｡

Q.最後に｢絶対彼氏｣に挑む意気込みをお願いします!
ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄの成長を描くという変わった設定を思う存分楽しみたいと思います｡ﾛﾎﾞｯﾄと人間がおりなすﾄﾞﾀﾊﾞﾀとしたおもしろさや恋愛の切なさなど､新しい形の作品になると思うので期待していてください!

-Mizushima Hiro's Soushi Mutual Love!?-
-Part 2-

Theme Hayami Mokomichi-san, Aibu Saki-san

This time, I'll talk about my co-stars and the atmosphere at the filming location.

I have worked together with Hayami Mokomichi-san many times before. He's a very considerate and kind person, always been a good senpai to me. Our scenes together in Zettai Kareshi are few and so we met only a few times and didn't have time to have a leisurely talk. But after this there will be more of our scenes together and I look forward to that.

As for Aibu Saki-san, this is the first time we're appearing together. The first time we met, she kept humming the CM song to herself "I'm Aibu Saki ～♪" (*laugh*) Most of Soushi's scenes are with Riko so I thought of what I could do to quickly throw off my reserve. For me, there are numerous times when somehow there's like a a wall between me and someone who I'm meeting for the first time. I feel like I, myself, have to bring down that barrier so we can talk to each other. The song turned out to be a tactic to break down that wall, and it was a successful tactic, I managed to completely loosen up. Aibu-san is always cheerful and lively though so I think we would have been alright even without the strategy... (*laugh*) She's a mood-maker, often talking to the actors and staff at the filming location. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her cheerful manner changes the energy of the set (*laugh*)

Speaking of that, filming has only just started. At the moment, when on location, I'm always under the guidance of the director. We have 1-to-1 discussion and consultation. From now on for Zettai Kareshi, we'll spend more and more time doing so and I think that I will have fun while working to produce a great piece of work. Please give me your support, yoroshiku onegai shimasu !

ﾃﾞｰﾏ｢速水もこみちさん､相武紗季さん｣

今回は共演者の方や現場の雰囲気について話そうと思います｡

速 水もこみちさんとは以前から何度か共演させていただいています｡すごく気配りのできる優しい人で､僕にとってはいい先輩です｡｢絶対彼氏｣では一緒のｼｰ ﾝが少なくて､まだ数回しか会えてないのでゆっくり話す時間もないんですが､これから一緒のｼｰﾝが増えるので楽しみです｡

相武紗季さん は今回が初共演｡初対面の日に｢私､相武紗季～♪｣というCMの歌をず～っと口ずさんでました(笑)｡創志のｼｰﾝはほとんどが梨衣子と一緒ということも あり､僕なりに早く打ち解けようという思いからの行動だったんです｡僕はなぜか初対面の人には壁があるように思われてしまうことが多くて､自分からそれを 崩していかないとなかなか話せるようにならないんです｡今回歌ったのは僕の壁崩し作戦なんですが､作戦は成功で､すっかり打ち解けることができました｡と いっても､相武さんはいつも明るく元気で作戦がなくても大丈夫だったような気がしないでもなく…(笑)｡現場では出演者やｽﾀｯﾌとよく話していてﾑｰ ﾄﾞﾒｰｶｰ的な存在｡相武さんの元気ぶりで現場の活気が違ってくるといっても過言ではありません(笑)｡

ということで､まだ撮影は始 まったばかり｡僕は､現場ではいつも監督におんぶに抱っこ状態｡1つ1つ話し合いや相談をさせてもらいますが､｢絶対彼氏｣でもこれからたくさんそういう 時間を積み重ねて､楽しみながらいい作品を作っていこうと思います｡応援よろしくお願いします!

-Part 1-

Theme Asamoto Soushi

Good day, Mizushima Hiro here. From now on, I will start writing a series of ｢Mizushima Hiro's Soushi Mutual Love !?｣ I'll write about things like what I think or feel at the filming location and I'll also talk about my own thoughts about love. I'll be glad if you can keep me company.

First, my thoughts on playing the role of Asamoto Soushi. Soushi is the son of a distinguished family running a major corporation. Moreover, being the second son and raised in an environment where he never had to worry about money or work, he's quite the o-bocchan. For that reason, he is self-centered, and while he holds the post of Planning and Development General Manager, his subordinates have totally no faith in him (*laugh*) Even though he's like that, I love Soushi. The reason is that though he may appear irresponsible, he's actually manly and is the type of fella with a 'core'. Up till now his personality hasn't been awakened, well there really wasn't any reason for it to, being fortunately (or unfortunately) blessed with his wealth. If you want for something, and a difficult situation arises, you should make an effort before getting results. But naturally this is the o-bocchan who would not be moved to action if there were no such adverse situation (*laugh*) When I play Soushi, I want to properly convey his over-optimism and I'm always aware of letting a little of his childishness show. Please look forward to Soushi turning out like that.

And then from now on, the person Soushi would have in his mind is Riko (Aibu Saki). Presently, Soushi has an instinctive dislike against Riko (*laugh*) Soushi is like a child too, he doesn't think of changing himself. He became interested in her, that is started to develop feelings for her, because of her ability to make cakes. And also when he recognized that ability, Soushi realized that deep in his heart he actually has the passion for cake-making. What kind of change will be awakened in Soushi because of Riko's existence ? When the change happens, what will Riko think of Soushi ? Furthermore, while he is thinking of Riko and she becomes the target of his affections, how would he feel about her being constantly together with Night (Hayami Mokomichi) ? The relationship among these 3 people looks like it will undergo some interesting developments.

ﾃﾞｰﾏ｢浅元創志｣

こんにちは、水嶋ヒロです。今回から始まる連載「水嶋ヒロのソウシ相愛!?」では、僕が『絶対彼氏』の現場で思ったことや感じたこと、そして僕自身の恋愛感などを話していこうと思います。お付き合いいただけると嬉しいです。

　 まずは、僕の演じる浅元創志のことについて。創志は大会社の御曹司、しかも次男ということで何もしなくてもお金にも仕事にも困らない環境で育ってきたせい か、かなりの“お坊ちゃん”です。それゆえか自分勝手なところがあって、企画開発室室長という役職にありながら部下にはまったく信頼されていない状況 (笑)。そんな創志ですが、僕は結構好きなんです。なぜならば、ちゃらんぽらんに見えて実は男らしくて芯のあるヤツだと思うから。今までは幸か不幸か恵ま れた環境にいたから何も行動を起こさないし、起こす必要もなかった。けど、何かを求められたり、苦境に立っていたとしたら結果を出そうと努力していたは ず。もっとも逆境にならないと動かないっていうのが“お坊ちゃん”なんですけど(笑)。創志を演じるうえでこのお坊ちゃんゆえの甘さをきちんと表現したい と、少し子供っぽさを出すように意識しています。どんな創志になるか、楽しみにしていてください。

　そして、創志にとって今後気になる存 在になるのが梨衣子（相武紗季）。現時点で、創志は梨衣子にかなり毛嫌いされていて(笑)、創志も変わってる子くらいにしか思ってない。気になるというの は恋愛感情ではなくお菓子作りの才能のことなんです。でも、その才能に気付くということは、創志の心の奥にお菓子作りに対する情熱があるということ。梨衣 子の存在で創志にどんな変化が起こるのか。その変化が起きた時に梨衣子は創志をどう思うのか。さらに、梨衣子が恋愛対象として気になる存在になった時に、 常に一緒にいるナイト（速水もこみち）を創志はどのように感じるのか。３人の関係は、これからいろいろ楽しみな展開がありそうです。
