In the interview with Shigenori Yamazaki who acted as Aiba’s cyclist buddy,Takashi.
Q: What do you think about comments of Masamune’s character being similar to Aiba Masaki’s personality?
A: Aiba too, just like Masamune, is really a great person.
There were occasions during location filming where there would be high school girls crying as they were overwhelmed at seeing him. Aiba went up to each and every of these crying fans and said “thank you” to them.
Even I ended up being touched by his kindness.
Q: Having worked together with him, what do you think of Aiba Masaki as an actor?
A: He is a sensitive actor. For example, in situations where the average person sees things as “1,2,3”, Aiba sees things as “0.1,0.2,0.3” where he experiences things in such minute ways.
I believe that the lead role is really demanding as there are more circumstances where he would have “to receive” instead of “to give”. I would worry about the stress that I thought Aiba might be going through but he has never shown that he is stressed.
Well, anyhow I am older than Aiba and I would like to commend him for doing something that even I don’t think I will be able to achieve.
Eh? Hang on! Aiba has been in the entertainment industry longer than me?!
Aiba senior, I’m sorry!

They are that awesome. I am so happy Aiba is being recognized for his acting talents, but above all, for his genuine kindness. ^^
Thank you very much for all those translations. <3

Anyways, Talking about Aiba-chan, as expected from Aiba-chan, his kindness will always therewiht him and of course the fans must be really happy too ^^
It was his first lead role, but as Yamasaki-san said, Aiba-chan didn't really know much that he was stree out or tired or anything, but instead he would probably tried to cheer up anyone during th filming ^^ And that's who Momoko-chan really likes Aiba-chan ne :)
