♥ Setomaru starring in KoiZora

They finally lifted the ban off him! ^_^v

The new project Setomaru mentioned a few weeks ago, that made him so happy, was officially announced by TV channel TBS today. He will star in the upcoming TV Dorama KoiZora ("Sky of Love") as Hiroki “Hiro” Sakurai. The female lead part of Mika Tahara is played by Elena Mizusawa (a 16-year old model, who was working together with him before on a few photo-shootings for the "dating-fashion-specials" in the magazine SEVENTEEN). The production staff is the same as for the movie version from 2007, so will director Natsuki Imai ("Orange Days","H2") be in charge again, too!

"KoiZora" is a romance drama about the first love between two very, very different Highschool Students - the sweet, shy Mika and the rebellious, rowdily Hiro - which is soon taking a tragic path for both of them.. . I don´t really want to spoil the story too much, because it has an great, important twist. Just, be aware that it´s dealing with very serious themes like underage sex, rape, violence, pregnancy and death. It´s going to be seriously very sad and everything but a lighthearted Dorama. (But I love sad stories T_T)

The story is based on the supposed life experiences of its young author Mika, a first time novelist. It was first published as "Keitai-Shosetsu" (Cell-Phone Novel - like Tenkure) on the popular cell phone site Mahou no iRando and became an instant hit, leading to its adaptation into a Book, which sold over one million copies in its first month, the hit movie from last year (starring Yui Aragaki as Mika and Haruma Miura as Hiro), and now an Dorama for 2008´s sommer season.

The broadcasting  of the TV Series will start on the 2nd August, Saturday at 20:00 on TBS.
