People from the media already knew about it, but the other day during the shooting of “Ohisama” we surprised Inoue Mao with a birthday party for her 24th birthday!!

Inoue was seriously surprised!!
A bunch of people congratulated her because they were in the middle of shooting a scene in a classroom at the all girls’ school.

Also the gigantic cake was adorned with 24 cute bunnies!

We heard that the pastry chefs took at least 3 days to make this cake!!

Inoue said, “It’s super cute!!!!” and she quickly took my cellphone, took a picture and emailed it to herself.

Inoue received some congratulatory words from Mitsushima and Maiko and it looked like she was extremely happy.

Honestly, I told Inoue that I needed some research when she was doing the classroom scene, and I was flustered because Inoue kept asking various questions about it…
I just came up with some explanations and frantically gestured this and that…
I was thinking… just a little longer…
Finally the surprise went without a hitch and I was really in the clear. (LOL)

Yesterday Inoue had a photoshoot with Mizuho Bank.
So, Inoue also received a surprise birthday party there too!!

Inoue looked extremely happy receiving presents with love from everyone.
The biggest surprise for Inoue was to receive congrats from the entire Toho Studios advertising department in charge of “Darling”!!!!
It was an unexpected surprise and Inoue could only say, “Wow!!” (LOL)
Lastly, here’s the cake!!

Here’s a commemorative shot of the staff and Inoue’s co-stars before she received presents from everyone!!

To all of those who congratulated Inoue at Mizuho Bank, her co-stars, and her staff, I’d like to thank you very very much!

This is the year of the woman for Inoue!!
This is starting to look like a productive and excellent year for Inoue!
At any rate, today’s plan is to… work of course!!!! (LOL)
