Sakurai Sho & Kitagawa Keiko to star in upcoming drama “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de”

Today, Fuji TV officially announced their Tuesday
9pm drama for the fall season! As it was rumored, it’s going to be an
adaption of the popular mystery novel “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de“, starring Arashi’s Sakurai Sho as a butler with a wicked tongue.

Sakurai is going to play ‘Kageyama‘, a butler and chauffeur for a young and rich woman called ‘Hosho Reiko‘, played by actress Kitagawa Keiko.
Hosho, besides being the daughter of a very powerful businessman, also
happens to be a novice detective and, due to her lack of reasoning
skills, often relies on the help of her butler to smoothly solve various
cases with her. In addition to the mysterious cases, the drama is going
to feature a nice sense of comedy, focusing on the chemistry between
Reiko and her butler, who doesn’t even refrain from calling her a fool
at times.

It’s going to be Sakurai’s first starring drama on Fuji TV, and the
producer is glad that they were able to get him for the role. He stated,
“We wanted to have Sakurai for the role as the protagonist, because
he is able to portray his cool and intellectual as well as his comical
and warm side. I think we have the perfect man for this modern detective
butler.”

Meanwhile, Sakurai revealed that he already read the novel before he
received the offer, and that he is looking forward to the drama adaption
himself. He said, “The conversations were incredibly thrilling and I
couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It feels like the drama
is going to be even more humorous than the original. I’m excited about
this and will work hard to make it a drama you are going to look forward
to every Tuesday at 9pm.”

“Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de” will premiere on Tuesdays in October.
