9th Tokyo Girls Collection

Actor Mizobata Junpei wore a job-hunting handsome suit from Aoyama Suit Collection, blowing a kiss to the audience as he strutted down the runway. "It felt strange that there's a man appearing on stage when there's so many women, I was tensed. But I really enjoyed myself," he said shyly.


A familiar face for the Aoyama Suit Collection CMs, Aibu Saki also made her appearance on stage. "It's the first time I'm seeing so many ladies, it makes me nervous." Both Mizobata and Aibu are currently in the drama Buzzer Beat. "Aibu-san always has a gentle smile on her," said Mizobata of his co-star. "Somehow it sounds like a lie na," joked Aibu.

Hatano Shuuji: Mizobata Junpei-san's Birthday!


On the 14th of June, Mizobata Junpei who plays the role of Hatano Shuuji as a pro basketball player for the JC ARCS team on Buzzer Beat ~Gakeppuchi no Hero~ celebrated his 20th birthday.

His JC ARCS team mates, Kamiya Naoki (Yamashita Tomohisa), Yoyogi Ren (Kaneko Nobuaki), Moriguchi Shuto (Aoki Munetaka) and captain Utsunomiya Toru (Nagai Masaru) gave him a birthday surprise.


Mizobata was touched as he received a bouquet of flowers and presents from Yamashita.

"It is refreshing to celebrate with this uniform on. I was happy although the celebration was just as guys. When I met everyone in the morning, they said things like 'You're 20 now', 'You can drink ne'. Everyone was such good big brothers. I feel like I've joined the adult world. Now that I'm 20, I aspire... I wonder what it is? But what I aspire for this drama is that my shoots will be accurate and to be a regular player [laugh]."

Mizobata-san, congratulations!!
