Following Kusanagi and Yamapi… “Quit Janis” Ryo Nishikido is back in drama! Behind the voices of expectation, there are whispers of “concerns”.

I felt that it was a great honor for me to be offered the role in the midst of my changing environment.

On the 8th, he appeared on “News LIVE! Yu 5:00” on August 8, Ryo Nishikido (38) expressed his joy at appearing in a drama for the first time in four years and for the first time since leaving Johnny’s. Nishikido will appear in 14 episodes of the drama.

Nishikido will appear in the drama “Kazoku dake Dake Dakara Aishita Datta” (10 episodes, NHK BS Premium, BS4K), which will start on January 14.

The original story is an autobiographical essay written by the writer Nami Kishida on her notebook, which was published with a PV of 8 million. It was well-received as a work that made people laugh and cry, including stories about her mother in a wheelchair, her younger brother with Down’s syndrome, her days with her grandmother who was too fast-paced, and episodes from her father who passed away suddenly. The main character is played by hot newcomer Kawai Yumi (22), and Nishikido plays her father.

On his Instagram page, Nishikido wrote, “I would like to introduce my wife Hitomi. This is my wife Hitomi.” He posted a two-shot of himself and Maki Sakai (52), who plays his wife in the drama. (Gomenne Seishun!), in which he starred in 2002. in which he starred in 2002. Nishikido also seemed unable to hide his joy at appearing in a drama for the first time in a long time.

During my time with Johnny’s, I was more active as an actor,” Nishikido said. In 2003, he attracted attention when he played the lead role opposite Satomi Ishihara in the morning drama “Teruteru Kazoku.” In 2008, he played the role of Masami Nagasawa’s DV ex-boyfriend in “Last Friends. When Nagasawa ran away from him, he stalked her and eventually raped and impregnated her. He played the role in a way that was impossible for a Johnny’s idol, and was highly praised for his talent.’ Since leaving Johnny’s in 1919, he has been working as a solo musician, but I think he is still happy to be able to work as an actor.”

According to a source at a production company, Nishikido’s appearance in the drama suggests a certain “trend.

According to a source at a production company, Nishikido’s appearance in the drama suggests a certain “trend. This is because the producers are careful in their choice of co-stars, and the offices of the co-stars are also concerned about the casting of current Johnny’s talents. However, in 2009, Shingo Katori appeared in “Anonymous: Police Department ‘Finger Murder’ Task Force” (TV Tokyo). In 2010, Tomohisa Yamashita starred in “Honest Fudosan” (NHK), and this year, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi will star in “War of the Traps,” so the trend is definitely changing. After all, it is probably largely due to the change in the structure of Johnny’s, with the passing of Mr. Johnny and Mr. Mary, and the large number of people leaving the company.

This would seem to indicate that Nishikido’s acting career has a bright future ahead of him, but according to this source, there is a point of concern.

About 10 years ago, Nishikido was drinking around Roppongi and Nishiazabu with members of the so-called “Akanishi Army,” including Jin Akanishi and Tomohisa Yamashita. In June 2002, Yamashita was reported to the police for taking away a couple’s phone. In particular, around 2006, when the rift with some members of “Kanjani Eight” is said to have deepened, Nishikido was in a very rough spot, causing trouble when he got drunk and was beaten up by Eita, and was seen drinking until 7:00 in the morning during the Kanjani’s tour. During this year, he was exposed for having a two-year relationship with a married woman living in the Kansai region and for having a relationship with a 20-year-old woman in Nagoya over drinks at a hotel, and bed photos were leaked twice in a short period of time. Toward the end of the year, the office was quite out of touch.”

Nishikido has a drama “Let’s Get Divorced” coming out on Netflix in June and a Japanese-English co-production film “Cottontail” with an undecided release date. He should refrain from doing anything that would throw away the opportunities he has seized.
