10jinactor (10神アクター) member summaries - matsushima yuunosuke
a summary of yuunosuke’s journey to becoming a member of 10jinactor! first, a general overview of the process: first by being scouted (or having applied directly), then the ikemen summit held at Zepp Fukuoka in august.
the twenty contestants who passed the ikemen summit in august then performed at Sunset Live in september. yuunosuke found out he passed at home with his mom, his eldest brother, ryuutarou, and second oldest brother, kenshirou. kenshirou said the day before ikemen summit the three brothers were going through clothes for yuunosuke to wear. ryuutarou said by the age of eight, he, the eldest brother, had already been overtaken in height by yuunosuke.
after Sunset Live, only fifteen made it through to the final round. the first challenge of the final round was a photoshoot, the second was training at tenjin IMS plus the ikemen ramen battle collaboration with Nissin Raoh, the third was acting with the theme “time bomb.” during the second challenge, a fan asked yuunosuke to sign her phone case, his first autograph, but the ink in her pen had run out.
yuunosuke was part of team E alongside magoshi and oka. the group’s acting was first criticised for not having much personality, so they were sent to properly develop their characters. yuunosuke’s character was yamamoto jun, an inspector. yamamoto jun is from kanagawa prefecture, and can speak french, italian, and german. he is serious and honest, and can’t forgive evil.
the plot of their scene is that yamamoto jun has found a hostage (oka) and a ticking bomb. the villain (magoshi) returns, but yamamoto, having tampered with the bomb’s settings in trying to disarm it, has changed the timings. the investigator shoots the villain, and tries to free the hostage, but the hostage knocks him out. it turns out the real villain was the hostage the whole time.
on november 3, the 10jinactor members were decided. yuunosuke was the third to be announced. cut forward to the filming of the drama Christmas Eve Once Again (mou ichido, christmas eve, もう一度、クリスマス・イブ), where yuunosuke says he wants to put himself out there.
cut back to when yuunosuke was first scouted. he was seventeen, a third year at higashi fukuoka high school. he said that the day before was a holiday for the school festival, and his friend added that yuunosuke had been made mr higashi fukuoka. yuunosuke said when he graduates he wants to be an actor. yuunosuke’s kabedon line was “let’s go home together today?”
cut to the relaxation trip, where yuunosuke kabedon the landlady of the ryokan they were staying at: “i’ll remain in your heart for two days and a night.”
