Seto who is playing “a pretty man who dresses as a woman” is acting for the first time in a Monday9 drama and challenges “acting while dressed as a woman” for the first time. Many people call his appearence of “a pretty man who dresses as a woman” cute but he himself said “I don‘t really know when I look at it” and cocks his head. “Asuka said "You were cute” and then Kanamesan said “It works well (laugh)” he recieved high praise from his co-actors.

Seto Koji emphasizes the disposal of unwanted hair for his role as a pretty man who dresses as a woman “My hand is really pretty!”
The actor Seto Koji appeared on January 11th for the stage greetings of the Fuji TV Monday9 drama “Kuragehime” (starting on January 15th, every Monday at 9pm, the first episode is 15 minutes longer) and talked about the preparation for his role.
It‘s the story about Kurashita Tsukimi, acted by Yoshine Kyoko, who loves jellyfishes so much and is called a real “jellyfish otaku girl” and will have a triangle relationship the brothers acted by Seto and Kuda Asuka. She will experience love and find a new way of living. Seto Koji who is playing a “pretty man who dresses as a woman” emphasized that he lost 6kg to have a weight of 50kg and also works hard on his standing posture. Above all he emphasizes especially the disposal of unwanted hair on his arm “My hand is really pretty!”
Yoshine said about Seto “We were filming a scene where he was carrying me in his arms and I was worried that he‘s break.” and emphasizes the delicateness that puts women to shame by praising him “Day by day he looks more like a woman, it‘s like Setosan is the heroine of the drama and it feels as if a woman is next to me.” Seto seems to look at Yoshine as a rival and when he checks the filmimg he apparently says “Tsukimi is cute. I can‘t lose to her.”
Also, Seto seems to feel the glances by Kuda “(Kuda) Asuka really looks at me all the time. It‘s a little scary.” and this Kuda confirmed it by saying “His legs are so pretty.” Kitaoji who plays their father says “I really though he was a woman.” and Kaname Jun who plays the chaffeur praises him highly “He is really like a Seventeen [T/N: teenage fashion magazine] model.”
Kinami Haruka who is playing Jijisama, a girl who is obsessed with mature old men, exposes Seto in a video message: “He is always imitating Hiraizumi Seisan.” Seto emphasizes: “This drama is about transformation and about accepting yourself as your are. The characters have striking personalities and in order that these won‘t be the only lasting impressions, the conflicts that these people have will be shown very detailed so I think that these are parts that many can emphasize with.”
