| Shinohara Ryoko and Bakarhythm in "YIPS" |
We're still high off the vibes of the wonderful Bakarhythm drama "Brush Up Life" and have been treating it with doses of Non-REM no Mado, but it looks like we've got a whole new show to look forward to!!!
In sports there is an ailment called YIPS, those rare cases when an athlete suddenly loses the ability to do some move or action anymore. And in this new drama , Bakarhythm plays a detective who has suddenly lost the ability to solve his cases. Paired up with Ryoko Shinohara, an best-selling mystery author suffering the same kind of writer's block, they make up for what the other lacks and are able to get the job done!!
From Yahoo news:
The main characters of this work are mystery writer Miko Kuroba (Miko Kuroba, Shinohara) and Toru Morino (Toru Morino, Baka Rhythm), a detective in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. Miko has released a series of bestsellers since her debut and has become a popular writer, but now she is no longer able to write and is working as a commentator on Wide Show as a side job, which is almost like her main job. On the other hand, due to something that happened to Morino, his arrest rate went down and he was unable to solve the case. Both of them suffered from yips, which causes them to suddenly become unable to do things they normally do without thinking because of pressure.
The two meet by chance at a sauna facility where they were visiting to escape from work, and after encountering a murder case, they decide to team up as buddies. Miko is intrigued by the incident, saying, "I can pick up material for a novel'' and "This is the first time I've seen a living corpse.'' Morino, on the other hand, shows a keen insight as a detective even though he is not familiar with investigations, and works with Miko to get closer to the truth. Their investigation leads to the culprit, and they try to question the suspect himself, but Morino's yips kicks in. A mystery writer who can't write and an elite detective who can't solve the problem. A thrilling mystery comedy begins in which Yips buddies who are in a bad state sometimes help each other and aim to restart even as they struggle.
Not a Bakarhythm-scripted show this time- one he's simply co-starring in, but it certainly sounds like fun and I'm eager to check it out! Coming out in April of this year, can I wait that long???
