but according to posts on the Maki Horikita d-addicts thread, Maki has a new drama lined up for the fall television season...and it's a getsu romance, with murdered parents, disdainful neighbors and a hard luck Cinderella twist. And it's from the writer of Last Friends, and Please, God Give Me More Time.
O.M.G.
I don't know what to feel. MAKI. NEW JDRAMA. ROMANCE. MURDER. GETSU. (SIX DEGREES FROM TAKESHI KANESHIRO.) hopefully this story will lean toward more Please, God, instead of Last Friends, because man - that was such a clusterf....of emotions.
and oh, the cover for the deluxe edition of Tokyo Boy got leaked as well. (Scroll down to the bottom)
and being released on
cynicalism and I's birthday! So awesome.
the synopsis from yesasia:
( Tokyo Shonen )
AND TOKYOGRAPH IS UP:
Popular actress Maki Horikita has picked up her next lead drama role. She will star in the tentatively-titled "Innocent Love," scheduled to air in Fuji TV's flagship Monday night time slot this fall. As the title suggests, the show will be a romance story.
The script is an original work written by Taeko Asano, whose most recent hit was "Last Friends" this past spring. Like that show, "Innocent Love" will focus on the lives of modern youths. The shows also share a director (Yusuke Kato) and a producer (Toshiyuki Nakano).
The story centers around the tragic heroine Kanon Akiyama (Horikita). As a child, she lost both her parents to a murderer, and her older brother was arrested as the prime suspect. Shunned by her town as the sister of a killer, she heads to Tokyo and picks up a job as a housecleaner. There, she has a fateful encounter with a man, but the road to romance is fraught with difficulty.
This will be Horikita's first time starring in Fuji TV's key time slot. Last year, her popularity skyrocketed due to a starring role in "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e." Currently, she appears in the NHK taiga drama "Atsuhime." That series doesn't finish filming until the end of September, so she will briefly be shooting simultaneously for "Atsuhime" and "Innocent Love."
"Innocent Love" will premiere in October.
sorry,
kitsune714, but a raincheck for the victory dance next time?
Meanwhile, I am going to AWESOME-LAND.

A more complete cast list for Hachimitsu to Clover has been released. Hiroki Narimiya and Ikuta Toma? Okay, manga adaptation or not, I'm there, Fuji TV.
Which is also bringing us NODAME CANTABILE: Shinshun Special in Europe will air next year over two nights - January 4 and 5.
Besides being smokin' hot, Maki was named one of Japan Vogue's women of 2007. Cut your hair, star in a well received summer idol drama, have a part in the insanely successful Always franchise (apparently Always is now the new number 1 at the box office)...Kurosagi who? I can't wait for Atsuhime.
