Quick drama update

First off another Aiba Masaki will be getting a Johnny's for a supporting role in his upcoming drama, My Girl, Murakami Shingo from Kanjani8. Shingo's character is an original character for the drama series, which is an adaption of a manga series of the same name. The drama is slated to begin October 9th.

Yamada Ryosuke will be returning to the small screen again in yet another detective role. The drama is a special and is called Hidarime Tantei EYE. It will add supernatural elements into the story so it's not exactly like the other detective roles he has done before, though I expect there will be a lot of brooding looks from him as there usually is. I really wish they would give him a role where he can just be goofy and silly, as there's not enough of that IMHO. But back to the actually news for this drama. Yokoyama Yu will have a small role in the SP too, as Ryosuke's older brother.

And I will confess I am a bit excited over this drama SP, because I'm hoping there will be an end theme that Hey! Say! JUMP get to sing. Because I really want to hear a new song from them, especially if it can end up helping promote a new single or album.


Also cdjapan has listed DVD releases of the special dramas various Johnny's have starred in for the NTV 24hr program. The earliest release is for 2003, the year Nagase Tomoya was the star, and according to cdjapan's listing it had been released on VHS before. Then it jumps to 2006 for Kamenashi Kazuya's turn followed by Takizawa Hideaki in 2007, Matsumoto Jun in 2008 and of course Niskikido Ryo (featuring Yamada Ryosuke) in 2009.
