23-year-old actor Masaki Okada (Hana-Kimi, Boku no Hatsukoi o Kimi ni Sasagu, Otomen, Mahō Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto, Space Brothers) voice-acted for the first time in the animated music video for singer-songwriter Mao Abe's new song, "boyfriend." Abe's official website began streaming the video on Wednesday:
The music video centers around "Dokukoi-chan," an imaginary Mao Abe fan who harbors a one-sided crush for a boy (voiced by Okada). The video ends with the lines:
Spoiler (highlight the following white text to read)
That's a nice song, who sings it?
I like that song.
[Unspoken] I've always loved you ever since then.
[Boy: Oh! Long time no see.
Okada himself happens to like Abe's music and said that her music is catchy and frank with both sweetness and sadness. Abe added that while this is a romance song, she wants people who feel frustrated about other bonds, such as affection, friendship, and family ties, to listen.
