ab: What do you looking forward to doing when you stop by Fukuoka? What most excites you about visiting this area?

Furukawa: Probably the views. I lived in Fukuoka for two years. About 10 years have passed since that time. Even though the city has changed I'm happy to find some shops and other things have remained the same.

Koga: It goes without saying but the food is delicious! I'm also into manholes covers. So I get pretty excited when I see manhole covers at Hakata Station that have geometric designs. I like to look out for the manhole covers that you can only find in Fukuoka!

Furukawa: The food is so good, right? Yesterday, I ate mentaiko (pollock roe), goma-saba (sesame-flavored mackerel), and gameni (simmered chicken and root vegetables) at a local restaurant in Fukuoka. Oh... By the way, I know a great place to eat ramen... "Hakata Ramen Shin-Shin is my favorite!

ab: Is there any part of your daily routine that you would describe as a necessity? Is there anything you simply can't live without?

Furukawa: I've been drinking black tea every day for the last four to five years. I make sure I stay hydrated and maintain a healthy catechin intake to ensure that I am in good physical condition!

Koga: I drink a bottle of "R-1" yogurt every morning. Recently I've started drinking "sagi" fruit juice! It has kind of a sour taste. It makes my lips pucker but really wakes me up (lol)!

ab: Thank you for sharing so much with us today! We really appreciate hearing your cool experiences and fresh perspective on things. Finally, do you have a message for your fans at home and abroad?

I can't wait for the final episode!

Furukawa: "Kaguya-sama" is a such a great show... I know that season one and two generated a lot of interest! I simply can't praise season three enough. I want fans all over the world to watch it! Thank you for supporting "Kaguya-sama" right until the very end!
