Ohno Satoshi – New drama info

by Fiona

This is excellent news, Oh-chan’s going to be starring in another drama! **does a little happy dance.

After starring in the TBS drama series “Maou” last season, Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno is back with his second starring TV role. This time, he will lead the TV Asahi comedy series “Uta no Oniisan,” which will air on Friday nights at 11:15pm this winter. This is said to be his first comedy role, including his performances in film and theater.

The story revolves around an unconventional children’s show called “Minna de Utao!” Ohno plays Kenta, a young musician whose band breaks up and who gets dumped by his girlfriend. To top it off, his own family labels him as useless. Unexpectedly, he becomes an “uta no oniisan,” a singing character on the children’s show.

The show begins filming on the 18th of this month and premieres on January 16.

Happy December and Aiba month, minna-san! Ogenki desu ka.

Yatta, more news on Sho-kun’s new movie, Yatterman. This is a live-action counterpart of the anime with the same title. More information can be found at Wikipedia.

LOL Sho-kun has really transformed into Gan-chan with the blond hair and very expensive costume. It appears that Yatterman was quite popular in the late 1970’s. Sho-kun noted that the director and staff are from that same generation. Thus, they are very familiar with the anime and wish to stay true to it as much as possible.
