Trivia
In 2007, the mangaka Nakahara Aya wrote a oneshot about Eiji and Teppei to promote Teppei's role as Otani Atushi in Lovely Complex. The oneshot is called "Bokura no Ibasho" which means "A Place For Us" in English. It's about the trials they had in the very beginning when performing together and how they eventually made it big.
