To an Ameba Candy PR event for the upcoming movie 'Haganai' appeared leading actor Seto Koji together with Kitano Kie in Harajuku on a red carpet, greeted by 100 schoolgirls. Matching the movie´s theme "I Don't Have Many Friends", both have been asked about comparing their real life to their roles. Koji answered that his social life is close to non-existent, whereas Kie said that she only has two friends. As this is the first time that they are working together, Koji revealed that his first impression of Kie wasn't that good because she wouldn't look him in the eyes and was so quiet that he thought she disliked him. At the same time, Kie also thought that, although Koji was friendly towards people he knew well, he was quiet in front of most people and didn't wanted to show his true self to others. However, the similarities in their characters made it easy for them to work together and they became much closer as the filming progressed.

Koji will be starring in Fuji TV´s love-suspense drama 'Lost Days'. The broadcasting start is 11th January 2014, weekly on Fuji TV in their 23:10 - 23:55 Doyou Drama timeslot. 10 episodes reveal the happenings of a 10-days graduation trip gone wrong.
The drama unfolds when a group of 7 university students, that belong to the same tennis club, leave for a graduation trip to a snowy mountain cottage during wintertime. Although all of them seems to get along well, some carry secrets the others are not aware of. Yuta Shino, the good-looking and brilliant president of the club, is in love with the sociable Miki and plans to tell her about his feelings at the destination of their excursion. But it doesn´t work out the way Yuta wishes, instead he learns that Miki is already dating his best friend, the free-spirited Takano Natsu. When love is shattered and jealousy unleashed, the seven friends find themselves in conflicting positions, when suddenly a murder occurs. Who is a victim and who the culprit?!
Koji is playing the admired top student Shino Yuta, who is able to stay calm, even when the rest of the group starts to panic on a variety of events occuring in the small space of the cottage. About his role he shares: "The keyword for me in playing Shino is "collapse". To think about how to crush Shino´s first impression is both difficult and a lot of fun. Courteous and violent, delicate and bold, I want to express the contradictions of the human heart."
