Ninomiya Kazunari
It has been a long time since my last drama. I will try my best to create the siblings' sincere bond and make it as a drama that will not move everyone's rational mind, but everyone's instinct, instead.
Nishikido Ryo
I will do my best to play the role as the second son who depend himself to his kind and experienced older brother.
Toda Erika
I'm a fan of the original book, so I'm very happy to be able to participate in the drama. I'm looking forward to Kudo Kankuro-san's script.
Miura Tomokazu
Personally, I'm a fan of Higashino's works. It always feels like I'm reading interesting scripts and got addicted to it, whenever I read his works. "Ryusei no Kizuna" is also another of his work which can be imagined as a drama. I've also seen Kudo-san's movies and dramas. He's the messiah of the entertainment world! But I don't think that Miura Tomokazu is someone who has talents in life so I'm very nervous about this.
Original Book
Higashino Keigo
"Regarding the original book"
I didn't expect that it'll be made into a drama this early. I'll say this again, the original story and the drama/movie adaptation are always two different things. But I hope it can be the drama that the audience can enjoy.
"Regarding Kudo Kankuro-san"
Although I'm not in the position to talk about the person that the staffs has chosen, but I think he has rich talents, so just as the audience, I'm really looking forward to it. I loved "MaikoHaaaan!!!" alot.
"Regarding the casts"
I had alot of fun creating the siblings' characters. I'm hoping that they can play the roles even better than the ones I had in mind.
Screenplay
Kudo Kankuro
The last drama I wrote, which was also an adaption of the original, was Ikebukuro West Gate Park. This is definitely a full-scale mystery that I won't write. In any case, I'm currently reading the original book by Higashino Keigo, over and over, until I become dead-tired. It is definitely a fresh world, a worthwhile story that makes my heart beats faster.
I've worked before with Ninomiya-kun in the anime, "Tekkon Kinkurito". We were both the voice actors. I think he totally fits in the role of the naive and reliable eldest son.
On the other hand, I'd like Nishikido-kun to do his best in playing the role with high tension and low IQ.
For Toda-san, I'll say this now, I'll write many inpolite scenes for her. But it's still safe enough, that she won't be hated for it.
I'm a fan of Miura-san, so I'll definitely sit straight when I'm writing his lines.
If you read the original, you'll know the murderer already. So rather than the mystery side, I'll put forward the sentimental part of a glimpse of the daily lives of the 3 youngsters and how the police detective protect them.
It's a story of the 3 youngsters who lost their parents burdened with their unfortunate past, yet they're trying to live their lifes to the fullest. I'm trying to write the element of "although we lost our parents, we can also laugh" nicely better than the usual.
Producers
Nasuda Jun and Isoyama Aki
We've found a novel that can definitely be a popular drama. It is an excellent piece of a full-scale mystery blends with the 3 young siblings' youth.
The script of this masterpiece by Higashino Keigo, will be re-written by Kudo Kankuro-san who is known well for "Creating No.1 Japan's Lively Characters!"
In a glimpse, you'll think that, Higashino Keigo X Kudo Kankuro, is a mismatch. But this is a collaboration between two top runners, so we are looking forward to create something new that has never been born in the Japanese entertainment world.
Moreover, beside the written story, we have the best lineup of young actors and actress, that has both real ability and charm acknowledged by the old, the young, men and women; Ninomiya Kazunari, Nishikido Ryo, and Toda Erika.
Besides the good parts of the original, we have also prepared a moving and shocking ending which is different than the original. I think this will be the ultimate entertainment drama, that you can enjoy, so to Higashino's fans, Kudo's fans, the novel readers, those who hasn't read the novel too, please look forward to it!
