Shige's New Drama

[arasunosutondsz]

waaa.. Shige-san will have a new drama this fall (actually i don't know when the Fall starts in Japan because in or country, we only have two seasons.. hehe).. the tentative title for the drama is "Chichi yo, Anata wa Erakatta ~1969 Nen no Oyaji to Boku" ^_^

actually in the news article from tokyograph is not actually focusing on Shige but seeing his name catch my attention.. haha

kochi for the news article from tokyograph:

Toshiyuki Nishida, Pinko Izumi, Shigeaki Kato co-star in drama special

Sun, March 15, 2009 (4:11am EDT)
 

Acting veterans Toshiyuki Nishida and Pinko Izumi will be co-starring in a TBS drama special this fall. This is said to be their first performance together since the 1982 drama "Samishii no wa Omae Dake Janai."

The drama, tentatively titled "Chichi yo, Anata wa Erakatta ~1969 Nen no Oyaji to Boku", is scripted by writer Taeko Asano ("Love Generation," "Last Friends"). Nishida and Izumi played a married couple, and Nishida's possible forced early retirement raises questions of divorce. Their son, an unemployed but aspiring manga artist (played by NEWS member Shigeaki Kato), gets in a fight with his father and leaves the house, but a "time slip" takes him back to the 1960s when his father was a university student. Using this plot device, the drama explores the differences between the lives of the baby boomers and today's youths.

Comedian Atsushi Tsutsumishita (of Impulse) and actress Saki Aibu take on the roles of Nishida and Izumi in their youth. Masaki Kanda and Shugo Oshinari have also been cast. Filming started in early February.

TBS plans to air the drama this fall.

When he was suddenly asked by his company to take an “early retirement”, he resists and desperately struggles against it. His son, Yu (Kato Shigeaki), is what is called a NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). He dreams of becoming a manga artist but lives off his parents who are without jobs. One day, Yu has an argument with his father over employment issues and storms out of the house. Through a strange turn of events, he goes back in time to 1969 - a period when the student movement flourished in Japan. There he meets his parents (Aibu Saki, Tsutsumishita Atsushi) in their younger days …
