Aiba Masaki-san who is acting the drama “Kizoku Tantei” (Fujitv) appeared in the drama official serial on “Weekly The Television”. He talked about his “things about fashion”.

“Recently, by chance I had 1~2 hours to spend, so I went shopping. I bought white shirt and blouson… denim three-piece!” Aiba-san told us. He buys clothes in log when he has time, “When I have time I right away feel like going shopping”. He analyses himself as “I have a type that when I see something I like I would straight buy it. Though I may try it, I don’t have worry about buying things”. His fashion preference also changed, he said “in the past sometimes I dressed extraordinary clothes, I also enjoyed vintage fashion, but now I don’t take adventure for my clothes, I look for clothes which texture is good, and simple things”.

It seems that his coordination is decided when he wakes up, “I wake up, ‘So, what to wear today~’ and decide what to wear according to the mood of that day. Therefore if I oversleep it’ll be ‘Oh my!”, I’ll change clothes in hurry, there is also occasion that I leave home in jersey (giggle)” he said with bittersmile.

Aiba-san acts “Kizoku” in the “Kizoku Tantei” on air. Wearing clothes that he does not wear in daily life, he said that “I’m having fun”. “The accessories are interesting. Kizoku’s watch is pocket watch, it’s always in the best pocket. I haven’t used it yet~ (giggle)”. Other things such as hat and sash, items belonging to Kizoku appear. What items would Aiba-san use in daily life? “Probably hat. Because sash would only be seen as tasuki (cord), while pocket watch may be too much to me (giggle).”
