On November 11th, actors Miura Haruma (21) and Sato Takeru (22) held a
high touch event to celebrate the release of their DVD “HT~Sekido no
Mashita de, Nabe wo Tsutsuku~ (eat hot-pot right under the equator)” at
SHIBUYA TSUTAYA.
At the event, Miura was
asked about his plans for Christmas, and he answered, “We will hold
‘SUPER Handsome LIVE 2011′ from December 26th ~ 28th, so I think I will
be doing practice and rehearsal. Having fun with rookie actors.” When
asked if there was a girl that he would spend Christmas together with he
answered, “I want a girlfriend, so very much!” Sato then gave him
advice, “Haruma-san, you are a free person, so it’s better to have
somebody who can watch over you warmly.”
This is the second DVD of their funny journey overseas after the first
series “HT~N.Y. no Chuushin de, Nabe wo Tsutsuku~ (Eat hot-pot in the
center of New York)” (released in February 2010). The DVD was about the
two actors who visited New York to make hot-pot. For this second
series, they traveled to the island of Borneo. They made an exploration
into the tropical rainforest, visited “The Sepilok Orangutan
Rehabilitation Centre”, and got all covered with mud at the mud
volcano. The DVD shows the real faces of the two who could not hide
their astonishment and excitement at the place they visited for the
first time, and one of the highlights is what kind of hot-pot they made
there.
About the most impressive scene, Miura said, “We were told that we would
not be able to see the wild elephants because of the swollen river due
to the abnormal weather, but miraculously, we saw them. I thought that
the miracle could happen if we were together.” On the other hand, Sato
said, “The contact with orangutans. They were cute.” Miura also
revealed, “Takeru-san encountered a creature that he hated so much at
the jungle. He was screaming very loud that I have never heard before.”
Then Sato confessed, “It was a hairy caterpillar. I’m not so good
with those creatures… I screamed to let people know there was a hairy
caterpillar.”
Sato who was asked about the encounter with Miura, said, “I belong to
the same agency with Haruma-san, and we had an opportunity to go to an
amusement park together. We got closer after co-starring each other in a
drama ‘Bloody Monday’.” According to Miura, “We just talk about girls
almost all the time. Just kidding!” They were also asked if there was
anything they wanted each other to change, but they showed off their
mutual love saying, “There is nothing.” (Miura), “As long as he stays as
the way he is.” (Sato).
About the place they would like to go in
the future, Miura said, “Personally, I want to go to the Northern
Europe, and experience riding a dogsled.” Sato also said with a smile,
“I would like to see wild lions and cheetahs in the savanna.”
