Sakurai Sho rescues the weak in TBS drama 'Tokujou Kabachi!!'

13th November 2009

On 12th November, TBS announced that Arashi's Sakurai Sho (27) will play the lead role in TBS drama 'Tokujou Kabachi!!' (starts 17th January 2010, Sundays at 9). The drama follows the struggles of administrative scriveners who use the law as a weapon to fight for the weak. Horikita Maki (21) will also star in their first work together. With the same broadcast time as NTV's 'Gyouretsu no Dekiru Houritsu Soudansho', it will be a showdown between two law-themed programs.

Sakurai plays the main character Tamura Katsuhiro, a meddlesome character with a burning sense of justice. After his mother was given help, Tamura longs to enter into the world of public notary. In reality he thinks "Law my ass, this isn't right at all!" as he complains and uses the law to help out the weak. The drama with its comical and serious aspects will make viewers think about questions like 'What is justice?' and 'How should people lead their lives?'

On the other hand, Horikita plays the shrewd administrative scrivener Sumiyoshi Misuzu, a former delinquent who hates to lose so much that she has been known to sever ties after losing a game of rock-paper-scissors. Confrontations arise at every opportunity between the complete opposites, the herbivorous Tamura and carnivorous Misuzu, but as time goes by they begin to understand each other.

"'Being a daredevil is not a bad thing'. And 'It's cool to work with all one's might'. I want to reaffirm those ideas as I portray Tamura," commented Sakurai. Others in the cast include Nakamura Masatoshi, Endo Kenichi, Takahashi Katsumi and Asano Yuko.

In the works is also a quiz aired during the program itself. Viewers will send in their answers during the broadcast time. The winner will then receive a call from Sakurai or other cast members, in a first of its kind trial project.

He's going to CALL them? Seriously? I can't imagine what would go through the mind of the person who receives his call. What if it's a guy who was hoping for Maki? Or what if it's a major fangirl who misses the call and finds out later she was the lucky one? I'd be upset. But this is a very sneaky way of getting ratings - by making all the Sho-chan fans tune in so people get a chance to hear from him.

Meh. Either way, I'm ridiculously excited. And I wish I were in Japan. XD

"Law my ass, this isn't right at all!"

o.o
He's going to say that? That just made me interested in the drama. What would be the exact sentence in Japanese sounds like? Sho cursing the judicial system sounds so intriguing.
