Akari Suda gives a passionate performance as a single mother! Your ex-boyfriend has become the president of a major company…!? A pure love story woven over the course of 15 years. “Ano Toki no Koi wo Ito Mou o” (Once Again), exclusively available on DMM Short since September, is a short vertical drama depicting the pure love of a single mother played by Akari Suda over a period of 15 years. At the time, high school student Momoko Hashimoto (Akari Suda) was pregnant with her boyfriend, Masato Tendo (Ryo Kozono). However, Masato was suffering from a serious illness and nearing death, so he deliberately hurled harsh words at Momoko and broke up with her. 15 years later, Momoko, now a single mother, was working as a cleaner for a large company, where she reunited with Masato, who had become the company’s president. He was unaware that he and Momoko, whom he still loved, had a biological son together… Momoko is subjected to power harassment by her coworkers, and her 15-year-old son is in the midst of a rebellious phase. Filled with pain and sadness, how will Momoko overcome this situation? This drama has been generating buzz, especially among fans, as it features Akari Suda, who graduated from SKE48 three years ago and is now active in a variety of fields, including movies, dramas, and variety shows, attempting her first kissing scene. Comments include, “This drama is packed with Akari Suda’s first challenges,” and “I’ve seen a new side of Akari!” The kissing scene is in episode 22. Up until now, Momoko has been acting awkwardly towards Rihito due to their current positions, their surroundings, and a misunderstanding from 15 years ago. It’s an important scene in which she finally confesses the feelings she’s been building up for the past 15 years. Suda admitted that she was nervous about the kissing scene when she read the script, but added, “Because it’s a scene where 15 years of feelings are reconnected, I was able to approach it with the same passion as any other scene.” Getting in the way of their relationship is Erika, played by Yuki Kimura, also known as “Yukipoyo.” Erika, who is both Masato’s secretary and fiancee, and her boss, played by Takiue (Shooting Star☆), do everything they can to ruin Momoko, from daily power harassment to framing her for
embezzlement. Suda says her favorite scene is Erika’s bullying of Momoko, adding, “This is a side of us that we haven’t seen in our previous variety show appearances. I also hope everyone enjoys the thrilling reversal in the film.” “Once Upon a Time in Love” is currently streaming on DMM Short, with all 30 episodes to great acclaim. What future will Momoko and Masato choose…? We hope you enjoy it all the way to the end.

As a 33-year-old, having a 15-year-old son feels very real to me, and I’m very happy that the range of roles I can play using my age has expanded. I also took on my first kissing scene. When I read the script, I was a little nervous, but since it was a scene where 15 years of feelings for Rihito, played by Kozono Ryo, were reconnected, I was able to approach it with the same passion as any other scene. Up until now, whenever fellow idols had a kissing scene, the idols’ dressing rooms and the fans would make a big fuss, but when it came time to actually do it, there was no time to be frivolous (laughs) The bullying scene with Erika, played by Yukipoyo, was very powerful and one of my favorite scenes. It showed a side of us that we hadn’t seen in our previous variety show
appearances together. I also hope you enjoy the thrilling plot twists and turns that appear throughout the film. I think the way you feel about this work will change depending on your perspective and who you empathize with. Because it’s a short, vertical drama, I hope it can be enjoyed by a wide range of viewers.
