Aiba Masaki – More news on drama

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

Kokoro & Bokurano Machide – Wonderful themesongs

Today, I have two songs to share, they are Oda Kazumasa’s Kokoro and KAT-TUN’s Bokurano Machide. Both are a delight to hear, love the melodies and the deeper meanings of the lyrics. I also enjoy listening to Oda-san’s gentle voice, will definitely search for more songs of his.

On a side note, I was quite happy to to know that Bokurano Machide was also composed by Oda-san. I didn’t realize this until I was check the lyrics when written this. Not surprisingly, I was drawn to both beautiful songs.
