Ryosuke Yamada to star in "Hidarime Tantei EYE" drama SP in October
Hey! Say! JUMP member Ryosuke Yamada (16) will star in a drama special called "Hidarime Tantei EYE" ("Left-Eye Detective EYE"). NTV will broadcast the episode at 9:00pm on October 3.
Yamada plays junior high school student Ainosuke Tanaka. He receives a corneal transplant in his left eye from his dead older brother (Kanjani8's Yu Yokoyama, 28), who was a researcher. Because of that eye, he begins seeing strange visions hinting at a crime, possibly related to his brother's death. While searching for the truth, he becomes involved in a major case.
Yamada previously played detective roles in "Tantei Gakuen Q" and "Furuhata Chugakusei," but this is his first one with a special ability.
Satomi Ishihara (22) plays a teacher who supports Ainosuke. Other cast members include Yasufumi Terawaki (47), Neptune's Ken Horiuchi (39), and Nagisa Katahira (50).
