Characters[]
Toshikazu Fukuro[]
This Spring when he was 23 Fukuro was employed by Toutou TV. Surprised at being chosen to do a close up coverage on Shiratori for his first major assignment Fukuro asks if it really alright for him to do this. After meeting Shiratori then promptly sleeping together, with him on the pitch Fukuro thinks he is really cool having hit a home run. Acting on the likelihood that he is being played and that once his week report is over their relationship will naturally come to an end, Fukuro says it is impossible for him to fool around so he asks whether Shiratori can just cast him aside. He cannot say it since Fukuro liked Shiratori since the very beginning that he met him. With a photo of Shiratori kissing a woman published Fukuro thinks if he worries about something like that he will not make it. Fukuro knew that even before he started dating someone so popular. Happy that he gets to go over, Fukuro thinks how forgiveness of selfishness is a lover's special privilege. Having said that, with another woman seen, Fukuro reminds Shiratori that he does not cheat when he is going out with someone.
Reiichi Shiratori[]
A pro baseball player of Yokohama Stars, Shiratori represents Japan. With Fukuro presenting his details Shiratori thinks how he is not his type and seems to be a bit dim-witted. Shiratori also thought Fukuro had a weird name. Having reviewed his impression Shiratori speaks how he likes the pretty ones. With the lower part of his body satiated Shiratori feels he is definitely going to strike a home run. Turning 30 soon Shiratori states he was engaged but was left for another man. While he kisses a woman, Shiratori calls Fukuro and asks whether he was watching his game properly then answers that Fukuro can come over. With it raised Shiratori mentions how he told that woman to hurry up and go home before telling Fukuro that she was just for intimacy because he is the one he likes.
Daisuke Ootaka[]
A baseball pitcher reported to be on good terms with Shiratori, but in a cat and dog manner. In his view Ootaka states it is more like Shiratori comes to pick fights with him on his own. Interviewed by Fukuro he says his rivals are all batters since he hates to lose. Knowing Shiratori in college, for the TV report Ootaka clarifies that his rivals are everyone except Shiratori. He is with him when Ootaka contacts Fukuro to help since Shiratori has fallen asleep at a meat grilling bar. Speaking with no hesitation Ootaka asks if Fukuro is dating Shiratori then gives assurances that he is not making fun of him.
Suzume Morino[]
Called Chun, he attends a baseball game that Shiratori is at and Morino mentions how it has been half a year. Morino is just as happy to see sports announcer Fukuro there and shares that he always watches him on TV. Announcing himself as Shiratori's childhood friend Morino adds that he runs a restaurant in Gifu before proceeding to search for his business cards. Handing Fukuro one, Morino says he will provide him with good service so if he is ever in Gifu he should please come by. He then continues speaking with Shiratori.
Director[]
Directing the one week program he informs Shiratori that Fukuro is a newcomer and to go easy on him. Answering Fukura, he states that Shiratori is popular probably because he is still single.
