Hitomi Kuroki stars in medical suspense drama
Mon, October 12, 2009 (3:43am EDT)
WOWOW plans to air a one-shot suspense drama titled "Daisan no Miss ~Mazu Ishi wo Nageyo~," starring actress Hitomi Kuroki (49). The broadcast date has been set for December 13.
Kuroki plays Takako Sakurai, a TV producer who developed a hatred for doctors and the medical system when her father died after undergoing a surgery. As a result, she produced many shows trying to expose the dark side of the medical field.
One day, she reads an article about a surgeon (Fumiyo Kohinata) who publicly admits that a patient died from a medical mistake, offering reparations to the bereaved family. However, Takako is skeptical and begins looking into the matter, trying to determine whether the surgeon is truly sincere or is trying to cover up a murder.
    
The rest of the cast includes Mayu Tsuruta, Yoshihiko Hakamada, Sachiko Kokubu, Kimiko Ikegami, Yutaka Matsushige, and Kei Yamamoto.

Arisa Mizuki to play lone wolf teacher in new drama
Wednesday 14th October, 03:00 PM JST
TOKYO —
Actress Arisa Mizuki, 32, takes on the role of a lone wolf teacher in the new TBS drama series, “O-hitori-sama” (Party of One), which starts Friday at 10 p.m. Mizuki’s character fearlessly lives her life alone until she falls into an odd couple romance with a “herbivore man,” played by co-star Teppai Koike, 23.
Mizuki said of the role, “I think the phrase ‘o-hitori-sama’ has a lot of impact; I really like it and want to paint an image of a woman people can empathize with.”
Koike, who had recently been out with the flu, returned to filming on Oct 11 to a thunderous round of applause. “Everyone was really warm,” he said.

Also known as the "Kobe earthquake," the massive earthquake struck the southern Hyogo prefecture on January 17, 1995 and resulted in more than 6,400 casualties. The drama will focus on the reporters working for the Kobe Shimbun, who were determined to keep the newspaper running without interruption, despite the damage suffered during the earthquake.
The characters in the drama will all be based on real people, using their real names. Sakurai stars as the photo reporter Tomohiko Mitsuyama, who had joined Kobe Shimbun four years before the earthquake. The show will also have documentary segments such as interviews, including an appearance by Mitsuyama himself.
Fuji TV will broadcast the show in January 2010, which will be the 15th anniversary of the earthquake.
