[Fangirling] Arashi in the Mystery World!!!!
Ahem, another post so soon? Why yes, another one!
I JUST heard that Arashi's Riida and Aiba are going to be in two dramas, respectively, featuring some kind of solving mysteries/crimes! Jun right now is starring in "Lucky Seven," and Sho was in "Nazotoki wo Dinner no Ate de" as a crime-solving butler. Arashi must have an affinity with mysteries! Not that I'm complaining, since I'm looking forward to both dramas. ^.^
Aiba will star in "Mikeneko Holmes," as a son of a famous detective who's not really cut out for the job--he's scared of blood, girls, ghosts...yes, your typical bumbling but loveable hero. (Personally, I think that Aiba would be adorable, but that could be my fangirling persona coming to the fore.) He meets a cat named "Holmes" (after Sherlock Holmes, I'll presume) who understands humans and holds an incredibly logical intellect. They are going to team up and solve mysteries together.
I'm thinking that this is going to be a rather humorous drama--the premise the screams it--but I think that it's also going to be a drama in which Aiba's character, Katayama Yoshitaro (oh, I hope I got the name right), grows not only as a detective but also as a person. I'm really looking forward to see who the leading lady will be--personally, I really hope that it's Kanjiya Shihori, from Aiba's previous drama "Bartender," but I'm not really hoping. I loved them in "Bartender."
Riida, on the other hand, will play a calm-and-collected kind of guy in "Kagi no Kakatta Heya," a mystery drama centered around keys and locks. Know the saying that there's no lock that cannot be unlocked?" That's the basic premise of this drama. Behind the calm face is a passion burning to solving the mystery--my kind of guy.
(Did I mention that both of Aiba and Riida's upcoming dramas are both based on novels?)
I'll admit, I've watched EVERY drama that any Arashi member has starred in (call me obsessed, I know I am), but of Riida's dramas I liked the most was "Maou." "Uta no Onii-san" and "Kaibutsu-kun" were fun, but I felt that his acting was terrific in "Maou." Now, his role in "Kagi no Kakatta Heya" is not, of course, that of the vengeful "Angel Lawyer," but the serious role undoubtedly has me excited. (Ahem, I will admit this -- I was OBSESSED over "Maou," not just because of Riida. I also watched the original, "Mawang," starring Joo Ji Hoon, Uhm Tae Woong, and Shin Min Ah, and I also obsessed.)
Aiba and Riida, fighting~!!!!
