Do you know what's prettier than Oguri Shun + Horikita Maki, or even Horikita Maki + Yamashita Tomohisa in drama?


MATSUDA SHOTA + HORIKITA MAKI.

Yes, it's official - Shota's been cast to play Maki's husband in her NHK drama, Atsuhime. Miyazaki Aoi is playing the title character, Maki is the supporting lead, and OMG, SHOTA IS PLAYING HER HUSBAND and there is a previous engagement and it is an arranged marriage but they fall in love anyway (or at least history tells us they were happy together) and there is tragedy and HI, PRETTY HISTORICAL COSTUMES and MAKI + SHOTA and D-ADDICTS PLEASE ARRANGE TO HAVE THIS IN TORRENTS/AND OR/SUBBED.

I know I'll watch next year if it becomes available.

ETA: FOR EXTRA FLAIL, LOOK AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE PHOTO (outside link to Chinese blog)

YOU GUYS, TAMAKI HIROSHI AND EITA (NOT PICTURED) ARE ALSO IN THIS. IT IS LIKE A NODAME MINI REUNION.
