This is a fanreport I saved years ago from the filming of Kurosagi, the only one I can find now. This is from an extra who went to the filming of episode 7, the one with the fortune telling shirosagi. Pi was wearing a kimono in this scene, and was all sorts of cute. XD
It's almost time for Pi to show up.
Here he is!
M found him first, that's just like M.
As usual, the Yamapi who always appears quietly.
Ki..kimono!!
It's the kimono that appeared in the episode 7 preview!
His bangs were clipped up with a very colourful clip, (heart)
We are experienced being extras, figured out the chair Pi was likely to sit in, and edged towards the seat quietly all together (lol)
The next scene was the Pi disguised as a fortune teller to meet with the shirosagi.
The P who was right in front of our eyes looked a little nervous, but different from the serious expression we saw before.
I have to say, Pi looks really good in a kimono!
Compared to the Dior suit before, this outfit makes him look taller and bigger.
During the testing, Pi kept observing all the extras surrounding him with bright, shiny eyes.
I thought, "the extras must be used to being looked at like this, right?" (lol)
Whenever my eyes met with Pi's bright ones, my heart would beat faster.
Even though sometimes he might be just looking in my direction (not looking at me), but he is just a few metres in front of me...... Pi, we meet again!
It's been 6 hours since filming began.
During break time, the extras who came at 2pm waited in line.
After the break, filming continued.
Where will we be positioned? We moved slowly, and anxiously followed the staff's instructions.
Ahhh! Even closer to Pi than before!
Really too close!
We were placed to the right of Pi's chair!
This is amazing! To me this is a miracle!
Utsumi Keiko*-san sat beside me! As soon as I sat down, she asked kindly, "How are you?"
So amazing! Utsumi-sensei!
And then Pi appeared! Wow, so close!
It was the scene where Pi came in from the entrance, I'm so jealous of the extras by the entrance, they can see Pi passing right by them.
But I stared at Pi from 2-3 metres away too. No matter what happened, my line of sight did not leave Pi.
Compared to the testing before, his expression was much more relaxed.
Pi did not speak too much with Izumi Motoya-san**, but he kept talking and laughing with the director and staff.
Every time P laughed, the ladies beside me said, "He laughed! Pi laughed just now! Ah, he's looking over here!"
Everything he did made us really happy. As long as he smiles, we're satisfied! Really very happy! Pi who laughed until his big eyes went into slits!
We were really too excited, so during the breaks, we quietly edged forward, and talked quietly about Pi.
I guess he noticed, because he looked over at us.
Time with Pi passes so fast!
Ah, even though Pi's expression was serene, he seemed sleepy and kept yawning. At first I was counting how many times he yawned, but I lost track (lol)
It must be tiring after all.
But it may have been the lighting, I was sleepy earlier too during the filming with Motoya-san. (lol)
But as soon as the filming began, Pi would be fully alert and energetic.
During the break, Pi used the fan which was part of the props, to fan himself.
He stuck his hands into the sleeves of his kimono and observed his surrounding, laughed, yawned. What he did most frequently was to rub his nose, it's already become a habit, right?
During the actual filming, all the colourful clips from his hair were taken off.
He seems a bit skinnier every time I see him, but if everyday is so intense, it's no wonder that he ends up losing weight.
Why does filming take so long?
We kept working as extras, and continued our right to observe P. (yeah!)
Usually I'm always distracted by those captivating black eyes, but this time I must observe his whole body!
First his ears.
Because all the hair was brushed to the back, I could see them very clearly.
They were small, very smoothly curved, such beautiful ears!
And then.....
Adam's apple (heart)
P's adam's apple is not very obvious for a man, but when he said his lines, or faced up, it's very obvious.
So sexy! (heart)
Then, the hands.
When I saw him on TV, they seemed like they were soft and kinda chubby. (lol)
But actually they weren't chubby at all. Eh? Even his hands got thinner?
His hands weren't big, they were expressive hands.
Was it lucky or unlucky that he was in a kimono?
Couldn't see the lines of his body.
But when he's walking or sitting in the chair, you can see his legs from beneath the kimono.
Pi's leg hairs... they were so sparse!
Eh? Is it because of TBC? (lol)
Anyways, there were very little.
I can feel my gaze becoming more pervy. (lol)
And then my line of sight returned to his face.
Pi's eyebrows are so handsome~
Do Pi's eyebrows have times where they run away from home too? (A/N: she means grow stray hairs XD)
His eyebrows form a beautiful arc to the corner of his eyes!
I have an eyebrow fetish! I like men with beautiful eyebrows.
If I said that I married my husband because he had beautiful eyebrows, it probably wouldn't be an exaggeration (lol)
During the filming, Pi's kimono got stuck,
He stood up, battling with it intensely by himself.
Utsumi-san who sat beside me noticed, and said, "Don't pull at the kimono, that's wrong!"
Utsumi-san is very experienced wearing kimonos.
But our Pi who is still battling his kimono valiantly can't hear this at all.
Still pulling hard at it, with an expression that said, "I really don't get what this kimono wants". (lol)
The staff beside him joined the battle too, but still couldn't figure it out, and had to give up.
Pi left the filming site, and was about to return to his seat, and then......
He tripped over!
How can he be so adorable! (lol)
The Pi whose attention wanders sometimes, and can't find the camera on TV.
He's like this in real life too! What/who are you looking at?!
Typical of a man with such captivating eyes!
After actual observation, I finally figured out what those lively eyes are looking at (lol)
Pi is gently observing the people around him: the director, stylist, extras, other actors........
Seeing Pi yawn repeatedly, I know that he must be really tired.
It must be tiring. Even being an extra like this for a day, I was exhausted.
Even then, Pi made almost no mistakes in the dialogue.
Amazing! Amazing!
Pi, you can do it! Keep going forward this way! You can reach the top!
You have this ability! I wholeheartedly believe!
