After these photos, there are cast interviews + additional photos~
(sorry the pictures are in every direction - trust only Tamaki’s to be the right way up xDDD IT’S A SIGN?! Also, apologies that they’re not the cleanest photos - I didn’t want to bend my book so I took photos instead)
I was wrong ~ There were more inside scoops ^^ This time is our creepy but lovable Neko-chan

The director reveals the inside scoop on Nekozawa-sempai, Ryusei Ryo ★
As everyone knows, Nekozawa-sempai’s appearance in the drama was increased by about 50%. Why did this happen? It’s because I like him (Nekozawa’s character)
I thought he would become an important spice to the host club by accentuating the brightness of the host club with his unbelievable darkness. I think Ryusei-kun probably wanted to be a part of the host club, but with his charm he brought a special flavour to the host club. However, Nekozawa wasn’t an easy character to play, and Ryusei was extremely troubled …
The problem was the heat! The reason was because the filming of the drama occurred at the peak of summer ☀ Just wearing the uniform was hot; Yusuke often stripped off his uniform, but Ryusei had to wear a black cloak (over his uniform)!! Belzeneff was always on his right hand, and he had very long hair!! The poor child was always sweating (>_<)
Episode 5 at the sea was torture for him. It was sunny with not one cloud in the sky ☀, the temperature was 35℃ with a humidity of 70%. All the members of the host club all wore swim trunks but Nekozawa had to continue to wear his black cloak + Cat (sun) umbrella. Just looking at him I felt unpleasantly hot (^^;; He was on the verge of collapsing but Ryusei overcame last year’s hot summer.
Looking at how hard Ryusei worked, a great bond was born between him and the host club members. Amongst the male cast Ryusei was the youngest and still in his teens. Therefore he was the youngest child and so was often teased by Tamaki oniichan (big brother Tamaki) or guided by Kyoya oniichan (big brother Kyoya). He was loved by everyone. He gradually became a very important member.
And from the ominous presence (he had) within the host club, he showed his true face by lending a hand when the host club was in crisis. But then he returns back to his ominous presence. Personally I like his speed learning in episode 2 and the two shot with Kanazuki Reiko (^-^)
Actually Neko-chan has bad posture so it’s hard to tell but Ryusei is tall, has great style and is handsome ☆ Such an ikemen (handsome man) has put his life on the line for the movie and does a great job playing the spooky character so please take note! I look forward to when you will be able to drink alcohol Ryusei!
