Ninomiya, Fukuda, Ichimura and others to have guest roles in Matsumoto’s drama

Arashi’s Kazunari Ninomiya (27) as a props technician and Kyoko Fukuda (27) as an assistant producer are the roles guest actors will be playing in the final of Jun Matsumoto’s summer drama next week, it was revealed yesterday, reports Sankei Sports.

The drama “夏の恋は虹色に輝く (Natsu no Koi wa Niji-iro ni Kagayaku)” follows the romance between a second-generation actor Taiga Kusunoki (Matsumoto) and single mother Shiori Kitamura (Yuko Takeuchi). The final focuses on the Taiga’s work in the stage play of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

The guest actor list for the final has revealed a line up of many A-list Japanese actors, including Masachika Ichimura (61) who plays a stage actor who had gotten the role of Claudius in the play.

Ichimura had previously starred with Matsumoto in 2007′s drama series “Bambino!” and had said he had been extremely excited to be able to work with the popstar again.

It has been reported that Arashi’s Nino, who plays a props technician, also has a scene with Matsumoto, but how the two character’s will interact with one another has been left as a surprise for Monday.

Other guests include Kyoko Fukuda as an assistant producer role, Yukiya Kitamura (36) as an actor who plays Hamlet, and Mari Natsuki (58) as a singer role.

Matsumoto has been reported to have been working 100 per cent for the final.

“I want to make this Hamlet play the best it can be,” he said.

Kyaa~~Matsumiya, this is going to something amazing! Hopefully, it will be a bratty Neener. LOL I bet Nino is mecha happy to be guesting in a drama with Yoko-san even for a few seconds. I cannot wait to see this along with the appearances of the another A-List artists.

Arashi member, Matsumoto Jun, turned 27 years old on August 30th, and cast members of “Natsu no Koi ha Nijiironi Kagayaku“, which Jun stars in, celebrated his birthday during the shoot.

While Jun was acting, his mother (Matsuzaka Keiko) from the drama asked him, “Taiga (Jun’s role), isn’t tomorrow your birthday?” Of course, this was not on the script, and Jun was little confused a little, saying, “…bir…thday…”.

While Jun was temporarily confused, Sawamura Ikki showed up with flowers, and other cast members sang a happy birthday song for him!
