Nine o'clock in the evening.

After a one-week postponement, the first episode of Fuji TV's monthly drama "Falling in Love with Your Eyes" finally aired.

The ad ends, and we get to the point.

At the beginning of the TV series, it was in the carriage back to Tokyo that three friends from high school met by chance.

The lead actor Miho Nakayama plays a fashionable college student named "Hitomi Takagi", one of her two friends, "Teruyo Kobayashi", an old-fashioned girl who works as a bank clerk, and actress Tomoko Fujita.

Fujita-san is a stage actor, and he is not all the way to the actors who debuted in idols. However, she has a cheerful personality and is very popular on the shooting site.

Then, another friend of Hitomi Takagi, a freelancer "Chiko Mochizuki......

"No matter how you look at it, I'm also cuter than Miho-chan. ”

Momoko Kikuchi, who plays the role of "Machiko Mochizuki", looks at herself in the TV series, who is more fashionable and glamorous than Miho Nakayama, and can't help but mutter.

Anyway, in your own apartment, it doesn't matter what you say.

However, the person who is more popular and has a better audience is Miho Nakayama.

Unlike Momoko Kikuchi, who debuted as an idol singer and started acting after her peak period passed, Miho Nakayama debuted as an actor, and her career focus has always been as an actor, and singing is a supplement.

Miho Nakayama attracted a lot of attention when she debuted, and the TV series "Mom is an Idol" starring two years ago caused a sensation.

At that time, she played a popular idol named "Miho Nakayama" in the TV series, married her former teacher, and continued to work while concealing the fact that she was married, while getting along with her teacher's three children, an older stepson, a stepdaughter of the same age as herself, and another stepson who was her loyal fan, which led to a series of stories.

After the TV series was broadcast, it set a high rating of 22.2 on average, becoming Miho Nakayama's masterpiece.

Since this year, Miho Nakayama has become a top idol, the road to being an actor has been smooth sailing, and her career as a singer has also been impressive.

It was also this year that Kikuchi Momoko's career began to slide downhill and had to seek transformation.

The entertainment industry is like this, constantly changing. This is especially true of idols, who are already lucky to be at their peak for two or three years.

When it is popular, it will be the protagonist, and after sliding downhill, it will be a supporting role for the new protagonists. It is necessary to have this awareness from the moment you enter the industry, no matter how difficult or easy it is to accept.

Two years have passed, since the success of "Mom is an Idol", Miho Nakayama's career as an actor has continued to rise, becoming the youngest starring actress Tsukiku, while Kikuchi Momoko plays the third role in the TV series.

In the TV series, Hitomi Takagi, a fashionable college student played by Miho Nakayama, falls in love with Daikanyama's beautiful apartment, but he can't afford the high rent alone, so he invites his friend Machiko Mochizuki to share a house.

It happened that another friend, Teru Kobayashi, was living in a bank dormitory where there was a fire and there was nowhere to go for the time being, so the three of them started to live together.

Twenty-year-old college students want to live in an upscale area like Daikanyama no matter what, which is something that can only happen in this day and age.

Such a beginning has already announced to the audience that this is an urban drama in the bubble era.

On the day of the move, they knocked on the door of the neighbor to give the moving meeting gift, and when the door opened, the neighbors who came out were two male college students who shared a house.

One of the two is Suzuki Moto, an impetuous young man who gave Hitomi Takagi twice in one day, and the other is a sullen young man Kohei Miyashita, who was introduced to her by Hitomi Takagi's friend, and kissed her when they met for the first time.

The road is narrow, and when you see it, you don't get angry.

Although Hitomi Takagi is a little vain, likes handsome guys, and loves to socialize, but she is a good girl who pays attention to order.

The person who can really do it in one step as long as he meets the eye is more fashionable and glamorous than her, Machiko Mochizuki played by Momoko Kikuchi.

The character played by Kikuchi Momoko in the TV series,I had a relationship with several boys in my class when I was in high school.,Since then, I've dated more than I can count.,As long as you meet your eyes.,It's okay to hit a home run that day.,It's a girl who doesn't talk about order at all.。

Hitomi Takagi is not a nose for these two nasty enemies, but Machiko Mochizuki has already become interested in the two handsome guys in the neighborhood and wants to know more about it.

This character is not only contrary to Kikuchi Momoko's own personality, but also completely contrary to the pure line she has been taking. Therefore, seeing herself playing such a role on TV, Kikuchi Momoko was a little embarrassed.

But this shyness was fleeting, and she was still intently watching her performance on TV.

Not because of narcissism, but to observe my acting skills, find the shortcomings, and improve them.

The role of Machiko Mochizuki is of great significance to Momoko Kikuchi.

Since her debut, she has taken the pure route. When you are an idol singer, "pure" can be either a dream lover or a girl next door.

However, if you want to change the runway to become an actor, the original image of the pure school is worthless.

chose such a role that is diametrically opposed to herself in reality, whether she or the firm, she has the intention of trying to break her image of purity in the hearts of the public.

The competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and once the career slides downhill, it is necessary to play a supporting role for the new protagonist. However, when you enter this industry, you must not only have the consciousness of being a supporting role when you go downhill, but also have the ambition to wait for an opportunity to return to the top.

Momoko Kikuchi is not willing to fall like many meteoric idols in the past ten years, so she has been constantly seeking new breakthroughs since record sales began to decline.

Now, in order to broaden the acting path as an actor, he took the initiative to throw away the sign of the pure school. And earlier, Kikuchi Momoko also made a bold attempt in music - forming a band.

Feeling that the peak period has passed, before coming downhill, the company discussed with Kikuchi Momoko, invited professional musicians, and formed a group called "La· Mu-), announced the transformation.

It just so happened that TV Asahi's program called "Band Heaven" was on the air, and the public's attention to the band was unprecedented, and not only that, but the program delivered a variety of bands and improved the public's acceptance of the band genre.

With the popularity brought by TV shows, excellent musicians have been invited, and the quality of the songs provided is also quite high, and the company is full of confidence in this transformation-

Anyway, the lead singer of the popular idol turned band, the topic is enough, and the previous popularity is the foundation.

As a result, the transformation was a failure, not only did sales sparsely, but Kikuchi Momoko did not get along well with the musicians, and after each live performance, she received a bunch of bad reviews.

The public didn't buy the lead singer of this pure idol turned band at all.

The plan to transform into a band stopped, although it did not directly announce its disbandment, but the company did not say a word about the new single, and Kikuchi Momoko herself also tacitly failed this transformation, and cooperated with the company to shift the focus of work to the actors.

So there is the role of "Mochizuki Machiko" this time, and in order to broaden the way of playing, he took the initiative to break the image of the pure school.

The path of transformation is imperative, and this role means a lot to Momoko Kikuchi.

"The band of the female lead singer ......"

On the TV, the point of view switches to the apartment where the boy lives. Without her lens, Momoko Kikuchi was not very interested in the plot of the TV series and was a little distracted.

She remembers that the theme song of the TV series was sung by a band with women as lead singers.

The TV series is still in the filming stage, and the record company to which the band belongs has also sent staff to distribute the band's single to the main actors of the TV series.

Momoko Kikuchi remembers that when she received the single, she put it away casually. She has just had the experience of forming a failed band, and she is not very interested in the band of the female lead singer for the time being.

However, later, in between filming, she listened to the actor Tomoko Fujita, who played Teruyo Kobayashi, talk about the fact that the producer of this band is the producer of the band Heaven.

Tomoko Fujita is a big rock fan and a loyal viewer of the band Heaven. Not only is he familiar with rock bands, but he also knows all kinds of gossip.

Not only that, Tomoko Fujita also praised the band to her and Miho Nakayama, saying that she listened to the song after she went back, and it was a very good song, and the lead singer's voice was crisp and neat, very refreshing.

"It's the band chosen by the producers who make the band, Heaven. ”

Momoko Kikuchi still remembers Tomoko Fujita's words of praise. As a loyal viewer of the band Heaven, she admires the "Iwahashi-kun" who is cued by the censors on the show from time to time.

Of course, if it's their idols, it should be called "Iwahashi-san".

There was also a member of the men's fighting group at the scene, Maeda Koyang, and his men's fighting group was also a band. However, it seems that after their band debuted hot, sales and popularity are also declining.

Could it be that the audience is just disgusted by the fact that idols are involved in bands?, Momoko Kikuchi thought to herself.

However, the single I received, at a casual glance at the time, the lead singer printed on the cover was so beautiful that even if I was an actor, I had no problem.

After Tomoko Fujita praised the band, Momoko Kikuchi was also a little curious about the female lead's "crisp and refreshing" singing voice.

But instead of looking for the single, she thought to herself a little flatteringly, that she would watch a TV series anyway - even if she wasn't at home when it aired, she would record it.

Although Tomoko Fujita praised it so much...... At that time, it will be too late to listen to it in the TV series.

On the TV, the plot keeps going on.

Hitomi Takagi explains to her roommates her grievances with the two young men next door, and the two young men next door are obsessed with being neighbors with cute girls.

Hitomi Takagi hates the two young men who are reckless, but she falls in love with the playboy producer of T-WAVE, the radio station where Machiko Mochizuki works.

When the producer of the radio station drove to the apartment building late at night in order to deliver a tape to Machiko Mochizuki, Hitomi Takagi, who had a crush on the producer, volunteered to go down and get it for his friend.

After sending the tape, before leaving, Hitomi Takagi took the initiative to ask to shake hands with him.

The producer, who sensed her intentions, took the initiative to kiss her, and this scene was watched by her roommates upstairs and two young people.

At the end of the first episode, the prelude to the ending song sounds.
