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.

by Fiona

Woohoo! Ninomiya Kazunari to be starring in a new TBS drama titled, Ryusei no Kizuna (literally translated: Meteor Bond), will be aired on 10/17/2008. The story is based on a popular mystery novel by Higashino Keigo, which was published in March 5th, 2008.

14年後、彼らが仕掛けた復讐計画の最大の誤算は、妹の恋心だった.
14 years later, their biggest miscount in their revenge plan is, their sister’s love.

The storyline revolves three siblings who lose their parents to a murderer and subsequently become a team of swindlers to get revenge against the killer.

I’m exploding with excitement now, have been on a Nino mode since watching Yamada Taro Monogatari last week. His acting is brilliant, ne. :] The storyline is quite intriguing and appears to be focusing on sibling bond. Definitely looking forward!

Preview/CM:
The clip is quite short, but looks good so far!
