"Koizora" moves to the small screen
Wed, May 21, 2008 (12:24am EDT)
TBS has announced that it is producing a television drama based on "Koizora," the mobile phone novel that became a hit movie last year. The film starred Yui Aragaki and Haruma Miura, and both saw their popularity rise after the movie took in 3.9 billion yen from more than 3.1 million admissions.
The drama will feature an entirely new cast, with auditions being held for both Aragaki's and Miura's roles. Producers are said to be seeking unknown actors, particularly a girl who can be cultivated into becoming "the next Gakky (a nickname for Aragaki)." The cast is expected to befinalized by mid-June so that filming can begin for a summer broadcast. TBS will be airing the drama in its recently revamped Saturday 8:00pm time slot, which currently is the home of the baseball drama "ROOKIES."
Although the cast will be new, the production team is being carried over from the film, giving them another shot at the story. The team includes Natsuki Imai as director, Mutsuki Watanabe as screenwriter, and Shin Kono doing music.

Erena Mizusawa, Koji Seto to star in "Koizora"
Wed, June 18, 2008 (2:19am EDT)
TBS' drama adaptation of "Koizora" now has its leads confirmed. From more than a thousand people auditioning for the parts, 16-year-old model Erena Mizusawa and 20-year-old D-BOYS actor Koji Seto were chosen to star in the series.
Originally based on a mobile phone novel, the story was turned into a hit movie last year starring Yui Aragaki and Haruma Miura. When it was announced in May that the drama version would have a different cast, producers were said to be looking for a pair with relatively little acting experience.
Mizusawa, a model for the magazine SEVENTEEN, just made her acting debut in BS-i's "Koisuru Nichiyoubi" drama program this past March. On the other hand, Seto has been with the acting troupe D-BOYS for about two and half years, and is currently gaining plenty of exposure as the hero of "Kamen Rider Kiva."
"Koizora" starts on August 2, airing Saturday nights around 8:00pm.

Others Synopsis
The cell-phone novel that moved 11 million to tears.
Uploaded to a cell-phone website, this tale of an average girl抯 three stormy years of high school, a saga of love, rape, pregnancy, miscarriage, parting, and reunion, is in fact a true story. Striking a chord with many women, its popularity spread like wildfire by word of mouth, and published in book form was an instant best-seller, with 1.3 million copies snapped up in only three weeks. The work is a true phenomenon of the emerging cell-phone society. (- keeganchua.blogspot.com)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After losing and then retrieving her cell phone, attractive high schooler Mika (Yui Aragaki) begins to receive calls from an anonymous admirer. A summer-long phone romance leads to an eventual meeting with bottle-blonde cool guy Hiro (Haruma Miura) and quickly accelerates to Mika's deflowering.
Pleasurable sexual initiation is promptly followed by sexual humiliation when Hiro's jealous ex, Saeki (Asami Usada), hires three thugs to rape Mika. Saeki then publicizes her rival's alleged promiscuity through the school gossip network. Enraged, Hiro overcomes his characteristic aloofness, and the bond between him and Mika actually strengthens.
Persevering with both school and sex, Mika eventually gets pregnant. Hiro believes he's ready for fatherhood, but both sets of in-laws harbor reservations. Yarn follows couple's progress over the years, with some surprising (and some unsurprising) developments. (- varietyasiaonline.com)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story revolves around Mika (named after the author), who falls in love with her classmate, Hiroki, upon entering high school. But over the course of the novel, she ends up suffering through many trials, such as rape, abortion, and betrayal. (- plinng.multiply.com)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In her first year of high school, Tahara Mika is initally freaked by the advances of the punkish Sakurai Hiroki, but eventually comes to see the sensitive and romantic side of him. Their growing affections becomes Mika抯 first love, which eventually leads to a tumultuous chain of events over several years. (- nihonreview.com)
