Just a couple little bits of news about our boys hustlin

Morita Go to star in NHK drama, “Kiyomori”
At a press conference held yesterday, NHK announced the new cast of the drama, “Kiyomori,” including Okada Masaki, Watanabe Anne, and V6’s Morita Go.

15 years ago, Go starred in the NHK drama, “Mori Motonari,” and this time will be playing the role of Taira no Tokitada alongside Matsuyama Kenichi, who is slated to play Taira no Kiyomori. At times an assassin, other times simply assisting in the dirty work, Morita will be playing the role of a stubborn but loyal man who works his way up through the clan’s ranks but is ultimately banished.

Other stars of the upcoming drama include Nakai Kiichi, Tamaki Hiroshi, Matsuda Shota, Fujiki Naohito, Ito Shirou, and Fukada Kyoko.

So there you go! Where my fellow Heian period history nerds at? Who's stoked for some hot hot Hogen Rebellion action, or some serious Taira and Minamoto treachery?
