Wandering the streets, he encounters Sho (portrayed by Matsumoto Daiki), the Number 1 host who insists on recruiting him in the hospitality industry. Motivated to reshape his destiny, Sora pledges to become a top host and, in the process, ignites a budding affection between him and Sho.

Cast Insights

Seki Tetta on His Role

Tetta, reflecting on his first character portrayal of Sora, expressed initial anxiety paired with growth throughout the filming process. “At first, I was quite nervous since this was a new type of role for me. But as shooting progressed, I slowly began embracing Sora's essence,” he shared. He noted his character demanded a marked transformation from his usual demeanor, requiring a meticulous approach to embody Sora authentically both physically and emotionally. Tetta emphasized the need to treasure those supportive moments in life, as they often herald significant change.

Matsumoto Daiki Describes Sho

Matsumoto Daiki shared his view of Sho as a complex character with an air of confidence masking underlying insecurities due to a troubled past. “While Sho displays a cocky attitude, he harbors deep-seated trauma, adding layers to his personality,” he explained. Daiki highlighted the collaboration with director Arimura, who helped him refine his portrayal of the character effectively during pre-production. He believes that audiences will find joy in watching the episodes, even in their spare moments, and encourages viewers to share their excitement with friends.
