The host is a cutie as much as Kaji. I want to think he is designed after him.

KajiKaji being the minor character and one of the hosts of the Kimi Mote Lodge (the show where the members of unit was chosen and aired last year)... that makes me think ... could it be that he was already in the project and was already decided that he's in the movie?

Okada Mari and idols? That definitely piques my interest. I wonder how much her hands are tied though.
