JIN to return for a 2nd season next April
TBS surprised everyone with the dorama "JIN" last fall and its amazing ratings. Many people speculated that we would get a sequel and today it was finally made official, JIN will return next year in April!
Osawa Takao (42) about the sequel, "I hold the firm belief that this is going to be a lot of fun. The decision to make a sequel was the best decision in my entire career as an actor!" Actress Ayase Haruka (25) will return in the sequel as well. Recently a FRIDAY spread the rumor along with picture that the two of them might be in a relationship, but both of their agencies immediately denied this rumor. Of course that didn't kill the rumor and now that they are going to work together again, there sure will be more reporters trying to reveal what's really going on behind the scenes.
Ayase about the sequel, "I could totally feel the huge support for the dorama. So many people asked me whether there will be a sequel. I'm so happy that I will finally be able to reply to all of them!" About her role as Saki she said, "She's a kind and a strong woman. I admire her character a lot and will continue to play the role to the best of my abilities!"
Of course most of the cast from the first season are going to be on board for the second season as well, including Nakatani Miki (34) and Uchino Masaaki (41). Nakatani, "I'd like to put a lot of effort into the roles of Nokaze and Miki again!" Uchino's play as Ryoma was one of the many highlights in the dorama. "I can't wait to face the world of JIN and Ryoma again!" He said.
It will be difficult to mess up this dorama. JIN was amazing and everyone is very motivated to film a sequel. The biggest problem will be to survive the wait until April next year.
