After a terrible day at work and a bad break up, Iwaya Sumire played by Koyuki returns home sad, depressed, and most of all lonely. However, at the front of the apartment she finds an unconscious young man lying in a cardboard box. Feeling sorry for him, she takes him into her home and nurses him back to health. As the young man, played by Matsumoto Jun, gets better he begins to like her place and resolves not to leave her. In fact, he even professes that he’ll do anything she wanted if she allowed him to stay. Sumire looks over at a picture of the golden retriever that she had when she was a child and jokingly says to him, “You can stay if you become my pet.”
To her surprise, he agrees. She names him Momo.
Based on Yayoi Ogawa’s manga series of the same name. Also known as “Tramps Like Us”
jun-chan kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Matsumoto-san is amazing in this. It’s hard to believe he was only 19 when he took on such a difficult role. He has to be a beta male who is still completely masculine and not a wimp or a pushover. That’s really tough to pull off, yet he makes it look effortless.
He’s a truly underrated actor; I suppose people think anybody that beautiful can’t be talented. What nonsense. At times, I think he’s an ever better actor than his bandmate, Kazunari-san, who hasn’t impressed me as much as his reputation has led me to expect.
Matsumoto-san plays a wider variety of roles than Kazunari-san, and makes all of them his own: The brooding, aloof and super-intelligent Shin in Gokusen; the uber-alpha and hilariously stupid Domyouji in Hana Yori Dango; the sweet and tragic Vito in Smile, and the spoiled, ambitious yet kind-hearted romantic lead in Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku. His range is simply unbelievable.
Get this man a good English instructor and dialogue coach, and bring him to Hollywood. We don’t have any men as beautiful ***and*** talented as this one.
