scottishlassNext season, Fuji TV's Monday night drama will star the ever-popular Kimura Takuya. He plays an elementary school teacher who, due to some circumstances, gets involved in the world of politics and eventually becomes the Prime Minister of Japan.
The show, which is currently untitled, is being produced by Goto Hiroyuki. The script is being handled by Fukuda Yasushi, who has written for popular dramas such as "HERO" and "Galileo." Sawada Kensaku ("Saiyuki," "Hero Special") is directing.
Fukatsu Eri co-stars as Kimura's secretary, an ambitious woman aiming to reform the country. She and Kimura last appeared together in the 2002 drama series Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi.
The drama starts shooting next month and will begin airing in April.

As much as I love Kimura's newly found seriousness about acting ever since Bushi no Ichibun, I long to see him in a romance drama again.
And it means ... Kimura is back to dark, short hair *sigh* I miss the long locks.
