Edit: I am now going all DDD= at all the money I'll be spending on magazines for drama promotion plus KisuMai debut all at the same time. It'll kill me, seriously.
Edit: Sanspo article here.
According to the article, all four members of the main cast are considered leads, so that makes it a first for all three Johnnys members. Takimoto has been lead for NHK before, but not for dramas of commercial broadcast. Tama will be playing the role of Hwang Tae Kyung, the leader, while Taisuke plays Kang Shin Woo, and Hikaru Jeremy.
Tama made a comment, saying "In the original drama, (the character's) facial expressions are abundant, so I want to make sure that I can do that properly"
Takimoto talked about "If I'm going to be acting a guy, I want to become a good-looking guy (ikemen) and become someone that would be considered good-looking by people of the same gender. I would like the Johnnys members to teach me the secret as to how to look like a good looking guy."
Taisuke "So that it can become our representative work, I want all of us to chase after our dreams with all our might together"
Hikaru "I look forward to scenes where we will be performing together"
Edit: The full article from Sports Houchi.
TBS has also opened its website for the drama here. It clearly states that the drama will be using KisuMai's debut song for its theme song.
Also that they are discussing possibilities of having the original cast members of the Korean drama do guest appearances. As well, as the drama's setting is the entertainment world, they hope to have various guest appearances of well-known artists/musicians, including Johnnys members as themselves.
