Keiko Kitagawa (36) had high expectations for her first starring role in a &#8220;Tsuki 9&#8221; drama, &#8220;Themis no Kyoshitsu: Regal Youth White Paper&#8221; (Fuji Television Network). However, although the ratings exceeded 10% for the first episode, they dropped to 6.3% for the sixth episode. The struggle continues.
It was a cold morning when I witnessed the location shooting in front of the Tokyo District Court in Kasumigaseki (Chiyoda Ward). Surrounded by a large number of staff members were Kitagawa, wearing glasses, Sarang Minami (20), and &#8220;Maeda Maeda&#8221; actor Maeda Wasaburo (22).

 Kitagawa plays a teacher at a law school, while Minami and Maeda play his students. Kitagawa was exceptionally enthusiastic about her first starring role in a &#8220;Tsuki 9&#8243; series, and she was trying her best to bring the team together by giving sweets and handwritten cards to her co-stars,&#8221; said a TV station source.
The scene being filmed that day was of Kitagawa leading Minami and Maeda walking from in front of the courthouse toward the station. Kitagawa&#8217;s joyful expression was in stark contrast to Minami&#8217;s depressed expression as they walked. I hope that Kitagawa will be able to shrug off the pressure of starring in &#8220;Tsuki 9&#8221; and run through to the final episode with this radiant smile on her face.

 Keiko Kitagawa's first starring drama on "Tsuki 9", "The School of Themis - Legal Youth White Paper", has been struggling with the ratings, although it achieved more than 10% in the first episode. On this day, she was on location in front of the courthouse with Sagara Minami and Oshiro Maeda.
