CHRIS PEPPLER

SHIRO SANO

DANTE CARVER

HISASHI YOSHIZAWA

Foreign talento Dante Carver will be appearing in his first drama series this spring. He has been cast in NHK's adaptation of the Eto Mori novel "Kaze ni Maiagaru Vinyl Sheet," which focuses on the refugee aid organization UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).

The show stars Kazue Fukiishi as a woman working on refugee issues while also dealing with her American boss and ex-husband, played by Chris Peppler. Carver plays one of Fukiishi's co-workers.

Carver has recently been developing a career as an actor, appearing in a couple movies and a drama special. According to Carver, he originally moved to Japan in pursuit of an acting career, which he hopes to someday take to Hollywood.

Filming for the miniseries starts at the end of this month. NHK plans to broadcast the show in its Saturday 9:00pm time slot, beginning on May 30.

Kudo Rika works for the UNHCR. After she fell in love with Ed, her American boss, they married and, after seven years, divorced. That had been two years ago. Now, when Ed dies in Afghanistan, Rika is devastated and finds it hard to recover from the shock. A reporter who has encountered a refugee girl rescued by Ed comes to visit her.

Cast:

TAKUYA KIMURA (SMAP)

HARUKA AYASE

HIRO MIZUSHIMA

TERUYUKI KAGAWA

MAO DAICHI

SHIGENORI YAMAZAKI

YUKINA KINOSHITA

SMAP member Takuya Kimura has picked up his next starring role in a television drama. He will play the lead in TBS's comedy/mystery series "MR.BRAIN," scheduled to start in mid-spring.

Kimura plays the part of Ryusuke Tsukumo, a neuroscience researcher affiliated with a National Police Agency laboratory. Although his skills help solve difficult cases, he has one flaw: he is generally "clueless to the situation" (better known by the slang term "KY," or "kuuki o yomenai";), leading to various comical interactions. In general, each episode will be a different case.

Kimura's assistant will be played by Haruka Ayase, while Hiro Mizushima will take on the role of a young cop. Other characters include the head of the lab (Mao Daichi), another detective (Teruyuki Kagawa), and a couple of researchers (Yuji Tanaka of Bakusho Mondai and Tortoise Matsumoto of Ulfuls).

J-DORAMA SUMMER 2009 PREVIEW

NHK

Limit ~Keiji no Genba~ 2
Cast: Mirai Moriyama, Tetsuya Takeda, Ai Kato, Tetta Sugimoto, Masato Ibu, Mayumi Wakamura, Yoshihiko Hosoda
Beginning: 11 July 2009, 9.00 pm (every Saturday)

Theme song: "Ai no Hi" by Kazuyoshi Saito

TETSUYA TAKEDA

AI KATO

"Limit" is the sequel to the detective show "Keiji no Genba" that aired last year. Actor Mirai Moriyama plays the lead, with Tetsuya Takeda and Ai Kato in the supporting cast.

A succession of violent assaults plunges Nagoya’s biggest shopping and entertainment district into fear. Kato Keigo, who has been assigned to the Chuo Precinct, quickly heads to the scene of the murder. Over there, he meets a lone, veteran detective who fearlessly subdues a youth brandishing a weapon. This man is Umeki Ken, the feared “Devil” who will stop at nothing to arrest criminals. “Anyone would have been a good murder target,” the youth resorts to bravado in the interrogation. Umeki lets loose an outburst of profanity. “A fellow like you should die.” Keigo reacts sharply against such an aggressive interrogation but Umeki says in disgust, “Our job is to condemn people. Not to love them.” Umeki is radical in speech and behaviour but skilled. Even though he is shunned by Chief Higashino and others, they acknowledge his superiority. Before long, Keigo’s misgivings about his job and distrust of people grows stronger every time he has to face cases in which people are killed because of selfish motives and the traits of the police, which protects the organisation more than the residents. Then he is somehow charmed by Umeki. In the midst of this, Keigo’s fiancee, Maria, becomes involved in a case and he becomes aware of some uncontrollable hatred in his heart. Before long he learns that that criminal is the same man who had murdered a woman whom Umeki had loved very much, and the story takes an unexpected turn …

NEWS member Tomohisa Yamashita has the lead role in Fuji TV's upcoming Monday night drama series, tentatively titled "Buzzer Beat ~Gakeppuchi no Hero~." His female lead this time is actress Keiko Kitagawa, who graduated from Meiji University's School of Commerce one year after he did.

The love story has Yamashita playing a salaryman who belongs to his company's basketball team. Despite his appearance, he is completely weak under pressure when it comes to work and romance. Although he has a girlfriend (Saki Aibu), he falls in love with a spirited and cheerful woman who is unable to be straightforward (Kitagawa).

Shihori Kanjiya plays Kitagawa's friend, while Hideaki Ito serves as Yamashita's rival in love. Junpei Mizobata, Nobuaki Kaneko, Miki Maya, and Masaru Nagai are also part of the supporting cast.

Yamashita's only experience with basketball so far is in classes at school, so he is undergoing special training for two weeks.

This also marks her first series since having her second child in November 2007, just as the third season was her comeback work after giving birth to her first child in 2004.

Yusuke Santamaria (38) will join the cast for this season, playing a rival doctor. Other cast members include Tae Kimura (38), returning in her role as a nurse from the second season, and Kie Kitano (18) as a rookie nurse.

The shojo manga "Otomen" by Aya Kanno is being turned into a live-action drama series this summer. The show, starring Masaki Okada (19), will occupy Fuji TV's Saturday night time slot.

Okada is having a big year in terms of movies, with major roles in "Harufuwei," "Honokaa Boy," "Juryoku Pierrot," and "Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu." However, "Otomen" will be his first starring role in a TV series.

The original manga started in 2006 and is still being serialized in the magazine Bessatsu Hana to Yume. The tankoubon editions have sold more than 2.50 million copies total. Classified as a romantic comedy, "Otomen" centers around the popular high school boy Asuka Masamune (Okada), the top kendo fighter in the nation. However, beneath his cool exterior, he is actually fond of sweets and shojo manga, and is skilled in sewing and cooking. When he instantly falls for the transfer student Ryo Miyakozuka, his secret is in danger of being exposed.

The female lead of Ryo will be played by Kaho (17), who previously worked with Okada in the 2007 movie "Tennen Kokekko" ("A Gentle Breeze in the Village").

The novel "Kanryotachi no Natsu" by Saburo Shiroyama is being turned into a live-action drama series on TBS this summer. The show will feature a strong lineup of well-established actors, led by Koichi Sato.

"Kanryotachi no Natsu" ("The Summer of the Bureaucrats") was originally serialized and later published in book form during the 1970s. The story focuses on Japan's economic boom following World War II. Sato plays Shingo Kazakoshi, a bureaucrat in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which was critical to the nation's recovery.

With modern bureaucrats developing a negative public image and calls increasing for government reform, TBS producer Hideki Isano felt it was time to create a drama based on the novel, which showed the ability of dedicated bureaucrats to effectively shape the country's economic success. Isano said he also hopes to find some hint of a way out of the current recession.

Aside from Sato, the cast includes Kinya Kitaoji, Masato Sakai, Katsumi Takahashi, Katsunori Takahashi, Shiro Sano, Masahiko Nishimura, Tetta Sugimoto, Kazue Fukiishi, Yoshiko Tokoshima, and Tomiyuki Kunihiro.

The 1976 television drama "Tonari no Shibafu" is getting a remake on TBS this summer. The new series will star Asaka Seto and Pinko Izumi.

The original show was written by screenwriter Sugako Hashida and featured Yoko Yamamoto as a wife battling with her husband's mother, portrayed by the late actress Sadako Sawamura. At the time, the drama became a popular symbol of the common problems between a mother and daughter-in-law.

As expected, the show will be adapted to the present day. Seto will take on the role of the daughter-in-law, with Koji Ookura playing the husband and Izumi playing the mother.
