Alisa Mizuki returns for another "Sazae-san" drama
Due to the success of the "Sazae-san" drama special last fall, Fuji TV is working on a second one to air this summer. Alisa Mizuki (33) will once again star as Sazae-san.
The first special achieved ratings of 20.9% when it aired on November 15. That was the fourth time that the long-running "Sazae-san" anime series was adapted into live-action. It was previously made into a drama series by TBS in 1965-1967, then by Fuji TV in 1981-1985 and 1992-1996.
Cast members returning from the first special include Michitaka Tsutsui (39), Tsurutaro Kataoka (55), and Keiko Takeshita (56). This episode will introduce the Isasaka family, portrayed by playwright Koki Mitani (48), Keiko Toda (52), and Kana Kurashina (22).
