Sho to star in new drama

[acidae.livejournal.com]

As the title suggests, Sho will be starring in a new drama for the spring season! It's called "The Quiz Show" and appears to be about the MC of a quiz-styled variety show who goes around revealing the wrongdoings of society? The drama will begin airing on April 18th, every Saturday from 9:00 PM to 9:54 PM on NTV.





So... who else is still hoping for an Aiba drama here?

EDIT: Official confirmation taken from Tokyograph:

Arashi's Sho Sakurai has been chosen to star in the NTV drama series "The Quiz Show." The show is a prime time version of last summer's late night drama "The Quiz Show," which starred Jin Katagiri and Shigeyuki Totsugi.

In the new version, Sakurai plays the host of a live TV quiz program. On the show, contestants who achieve 7 correct answers win 10 million yen, and those who get 8 correct answers will have one of their wishes granted by the TV network. But while the questions start off innocently enough, as the game progresses, the questions gradually delve into the contestants' past crimes or indiscretions, presenting them with the dilemma of having to confess their guilt in order to win.

Sakurai's character also has a mysterious past. Before becoming the show's host, an accident had left him in a vegetative state for six years, which also resulted in him losing most of his memories.

The supporting cast includes Kanjani8's Yu Yokoyama as the show's director, Aya Matsuura as a rookie assistant director, and Miki Maya as the producer. Broadcast begins on April 18 in NTV's Saturday 9pm time slot.

Man, I'm so hoping that this year Aiba is going to have a drama~

Although I'm happy with this news too. Haha. April is going to be a good month xD. Jun's and Sho's drama after Nino's special :D

Thanks for the news :D.

This is what I could get out of DramaWiki. Since I think it's highly unlikely that both Sho and Jun get to star in a drama at nearly the same time, I suspect Sho will be one of the "guests" of the Quiz Show, as described above in season 1.

I've only had one semester of Japanese so far, so I suck pretty badly, but as far as I can see the article only names the new dramas and shows for this term (or this tv channel?) and when they're going to air, and practically nothing essential about the particular shows.

Aiba totally needs a lead drama naooooo!

Uwah, then we'll have extra special goodness with Jun & Sho starring in dramas in the same season. (:

[antron77.livejournal.com]

mi too support aiba ! But i wonder what kind of role is suitable for him ? I seriously prefer a golfer look of aiba ! His pretty cool when he swings....
impress me , as his image is always smiling and cute all the time...

[2dong2woon.livejournal.com]

waaait, those 2 guys (producer and host?) from season 1 look familiar. Like the crazy japanese culture YT guy and Uta-oni crazy as heck prince.

I;m actually fine with Aiba having no drama next season. Am I a bad fan? probably T-T.

What I gather from those tiny text~
- Lhis name is 神山信 Kamiyama Shin (?)
- airs on NTV every sat from 9:00 to 9:54
- He is the MC of a mysterious popoular quiz show
and in the description of the story, Sho's name appears first. I think he's gonna be a important character:P

LOL. That was my first reaction when I've learned about this-- what about Aiba?? xDD However, I am happy that Sho-kun has a new drama (or special).. been a long time too.

Thanks for sharing!
