Black Parasol

For Ishida Akira-san’s birthday, I just want to throw out a bunch of his photos that I have. Of course this is not everything but too many photos will be a lot of collages.

お誕生日おめでとうございます, 石田さん！！！ Happy 50th Birthday (11-02-1967)!!!

I’m really looking forward to all anime that you are and will be working on! We, the fans, appreciate your works in the past, present, and future; and we wish you all the best: health & career ❤️

黒沢のマンション…！！バスルームヤバい！(((゜д゜;)))

実際使用されたのは、LDKとベッドルームだけかな。ベッドルームは窓の位置が同じっぽいので。てかバスルーム…！

What happens when Adachi finds out about Kurosawa’s presents for him.

I personally don’t think Kurosawa would ever bring it up to Adachi unless he finds out about them himself. 

Thank you @fandomsandbacon​ ! Your translation brought tears to my eyes. 

Even though I’m not supposed to, I think everyone deserves to enjoy this moment of flirting on stage. Machida-san’s eyebrow is deadly.

Also, Akaso-san is very entertaining to watch, he’s not very good at schooling his face, his emotions shine through all the time. He looks like he’s trying not to smile stupidly, throughout, the way he’s constantly moving his face to press down on his smile. He seems to be the kind who feels a lot, somehow. Laughing uproarously at Machida-san being electrocuted to the point that he couldn’t stop crying afterwards (I’ve seen comments where they even wonder if he really was just laughing, since he was crying so much). And saying he’s not at all like Adachi, all the while looking all shy and red in the face. A particularly cute moment was when Machida-san explained why he chose “Akaso as Adachi” as his favourite scene (all of the show where Akaso appears, basically. haha!) and Akaso-san is getting so flustered and red that he starts sweating and fanning himself. He’s just irresistably adorable.

And Machida-san certainly knows how to tease and play along. He’s got no problem just sitting looking like a supermodel, with his loooong legs, all calm and cool. So it was fun seeing him losing it a few times too. 

As the second half of shooting approaches, the shame disappears. In the scene of dating at the amusement park in episode 10, after filming the scene of eating a crepe, while eating with Machida-kun in a normal way, there was no sense of discomfort at all, saying, “It’s delicious, ahaha.” If I think about it now, that might have been a little embarrassing (laughs)

It has been more than three months since the shooting ended, and many scenes are still fresh in my memory. In the third episode of the forehead kiss, the sense of distance was very close, and my shoulder was held tightly by [Machida-kun]. This is an experience I have never had in my life, and it is indeed very impactful. And so is the princess hold and the kabe-don. There are many things that are a first experience, it is difficult to choose a special one, but we were completely invested in the final scene. Really, just looking at Machida-kun’s face made me cry. As Adachi, I was very happy to be proposed to.

That’s right, Machida-kun is good at directing the camera at people, so there were scenes where he took pics of Adachi with his smartphone several times, and he did it as an ad lib. ‘uh? When were you filming? I’m already decorating it without noticing it. It’s amazing~ (laughs)

Akaso-san in Nikkei entertainment magazine. (Another poor google trans…)

There’s so much to love here: Akaso can’t stop saying YUM! Akaso and Machida crying together in the final rooftop scene (again! just like in ep 11. Crying because the other is crying. Aww!).
