Aiba Masaki – More news on drama

by Fiona

Talento Yuka (29) has been cast in next season’s TV Asahi drama series “My Girl.” She will play the girlfriend of Arashi member Masaki Aiba (26).

Unveiled earlier this month, “My Girl” is Aiba’s first starring drama role. The show is based on Mizu Sahara’s manga of the same name, which tells the story of a young man (Aiba) who learns about the death of his former girlfriend (Yuka) who left him six years earlier. He also finds out that she secretly gave birth to his daughter (Momoka Ishii, 6), whom he takes in and starts to raise.

Although the main story takes place after the girlfriend’s death, the character will still appear in every episode during flashback scenes. Yuka’s last regular role in a full drama series on a commercial network was in 2002’s “Zoku Heisei Meoto Jawan.” However, she did appear in several episodes of last year’s hit drama “Maou.”

“My Girl” starts in October, airing Friday nights at 11:15pm. ~ From Tokyograph and Sponichi Annex

I bet everyone is excited, Aiba-chan finally stars in his own drama. Congratulations!!

Arashi member Masaki Aiba (26) is set to take on his first lead role in a drama series this fall. He will star in TV Asahi’s “My Girl,” his first series since “Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru” in 2003.

Aiba, who is more known for appearing in variety shows than in dramas, said that he wants to show his fans a “completely different Masaki Aiba” from his usual self.

“My Girl” is based on a manga by Mizu Sahara (an alternate pen name of mangaka Sumomo Yumeka), currently being serialized in Shinchosha’s Weekly Comic Bunch. The comic is described as an “ultimate love story” about a young man named Masamune Kazama (Aiba). During high school, he had a girlfriend four years older than him, but she suddenly left one day. Six years later, he receives news that she has passed away. In addition, she secretly gave birth to Masamune’s child, whom he finally meets and decides to raise.

TV Asahi will broadcast “My Girl” in its Friday 11:15pm time slot, starting in October.
