Just got the heads up on an upcoming drama called Sorezore no Dangai, starring Kenichi Endo, Misako Tanaka and...(drum roll) MISATO TANAKA! As some of you are aware, Misato Tanaka has been one of my big, big BIG fave actresses, ever since stealing my heart on the Asadora "Agri" (as evidenced by her permanent placement in the above Zdorama banner), but it's been YEARS since I've seen her in a starring drama!
I think the last thing I saw her in was the quirky "Face Maker" where she played the protagonist's deceased wife, and as the angry and manipulative Mother of Shigeyuki in "Ashi-Girl"a few years back....
Reading up, looks like Sorezore No Dangai is a remake of the 2000's drama of the same name starring Tomokazu "Mr. Momoe" Miura, with Endo playing the part of Shinichiro Shikata this time. And Misato is going to play Hatsumi, a role originally played by actress Eri Ishida!
Original theme song was "Motto Tooku e" by Misato Watanabe, the 2019 version will have a theme song sung by...Chemistry???
Not sure how BIG Misato's part is going to be, but news sites are already running articles on the pairing of the double Tanakas new venture! from Chunichi:
Funny, back in the day, I would ALWAYS get Misato Tanaka and Misako Tanaka mixed up, their names are SO familiar, can't believe it took THIS long to finally put them in a drama together!
Drama starts airing in August so I'm hoping there will be some forums where I can download the show. Not too hopeful that anyone will subtitle it, but I still want to watch it anyways, even if it's just RAWS.
