At the taping of Hi! Hey! Say! it was announced that Yaotome Hikaru will have a role in the upcoming summer drama Orthros no Inu. The drama stars Takizawa Hideaki and Nishikido Ryo, so Hikaru is in good company.
While there is no official report of this information the Japanese blogs are abuzz with the news. I'm sure sometime this weekend the online news sources will pick this news up.
I'm really excited about this. This looks like it'll be a good summer to be a Hey! Say! BEST fan. As Takaki Yuya has the upcoming Gokusen movie that begins playing in theaters next month, and now both Yabu and Hikaru have drama roles. And hopefully once these projects are over Johnny's will keep these boys active and working, and perhaps give Arioka Daiki and Inoo Kei something to do as well. Though with the last two in school I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do much for a while so they can concentrate on that.
Still overall I'm really happy with this news, as it's another clear signal that Johnny's hasn't given up on these boys. Now all they have to do is announce a new cd release and I'll be a completely content Hey! Say! JUMP fan again.
