Miho Kanno: Why she wants to make her first drama series in two and a half years a success

She is also hoping to “boost” Sakai, who left the major entertainment agency Tanabe Agency at the end of last year to become a freelance actress, by having her own leading role in a hit movie. The drama series “VIVANT” (TBS), starring Sakai, is airing in the July season and is creating a positive trend.

Sakai’s independence from a powerful agency had some worried about his future as an actor, but with the success of “VIVANT,” he is off to a good start as a freelance actor, and Kanno, as his wife, is probably relieved to hear that. As his wife, she must be eager to take over the baton of “VIVANT” and make a string of starring roles a success through a “husband-wife relay” that spans multiple stations, which is unprecedented in the drama drama series world,” said a sports newspaper desk reporter.

On August 22, the news site “Daily Shincho” reported that the casting of “Yuria Sensei,” in which Kanno plays the lead role, may have been difficult due to “discovery” by Sakai’s former agency. In fact, after “Yuria Sensei” was announced on June 8 as starring Kanno, the co-stars were not announced for a long period of time, and finally on August 30, additional cast members including Takashi Suzuka, Daisho Kido, and Tetsushi Tanaka were revealed to the public.

The Daily Shincho reported that the head of Sakai’s agency, known as the “Don” of the entertainment world, had made a dismissive comment about Sakai’s departure, saying, “I can’t work with him anymore. The report also said that Sugano, who was behind her husband’s independence, was also ”not satisfied ”with her husband’s decision to leave. The report also mentioned the possibility that the announcement of the co-star was delayed because some entertainment agencies were concerned about the “don” and took the stance that they could not cooperate with “Yuria-sensei.

Although the truth of the “discovery allegation” is unknown, it is hard to believe that Kanno, who has a strong competitive spirit, would not be ignited in her professionalism by such adverse news. She has managed to raise a child, support her freelance husband, and take on a main role in a signature drama series. There is a growing sense that she is determined to make a hit at any cost,” said a senior executive at an entertainment company.

In the world of drama productions, it can be said that those who produce results are the ones who win. Will the drama series get off to a successful start and become a social phenomenon following in the footsteps of Sakai?
