<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tomohisa Yamashita, known as Yamapi (39), has made a complete return to terrestrial television dramas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yamapi left the former Johnny &amp; Associates agency in 2020. At that time, there was still a strong influence from television networks toward the agency, and even the hugely popular idol Yamapi was not an exception. As a result, he did not star in any terrestrial TV dramas for five years. However, this spring, he made a triumphant return to the Wednesday drama slot on Fuji TV with &#8220;Blue Moment.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is said that his complete comeback was greatly influenced by his starring role in the NHK drama series &#8220;Honest Real Estate.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><b>&#8220;NHK, which had relatively fewer commercial tie-ups, took a bold step by casting Yamashita as the lead in the &#8216;Honest Real Estate&#8217; series in 2022. It was a huge success. The drama received great acclaim, and a second part was produced this year. Since it was also well-received, there is no doubt it will continue as a series.</b></p>
<p><b>As a result, terrestrial networks also became convinced that Yamashita indeed brings in the ratings. The reason why talents who left Johnny &amp; Associates weren&#8217;t utilized is, of course, largely due to agency influence, but there was also skepticism about whether &#8216;they actually don&#8217;t bring in good ratings.&#8217; Yamashita has dispelled that doubt.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8221; (Entertainment magazine reporter)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, some voices point out that the success of &#8220;Honest Real Estate&#8221; was not solely due to Yamashita&#8217;s efforts.</span></p>
<p><b>&#8220;The presence of co-stars Haruka Fukuhara and Rika Izumi was also significant. Although they are not flashy, they have solid acting skills. They didn&#8217;t overshadow Yamashita but rather shone with their own performances, adding depth to the drama.</b></p>
<p><b>Interestingly, Yamashita has been fortunate to work with talented actresses throughout his career. His notable works include &#8216;Code Blue &#8211; Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei&#8217; series (Fuji TV), where he acted alongside Yui Aragaki, and &#8216;Kurosagi&#8217; (TBS), starring alongside Mao Inoue and Erika Toda. These actresses are not only popular but also highly praised for their acting skills.</b></p>
<p><b>On the other hand, the productions that didn&#8217;t garner much attention often had castings based more on name recognition. If the lineup of actresses in &#8216;Honest Real Estate&#8217; were different, the results could have been significantly different.&#8221; </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">(Entertainment writer)</span></p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead="The actresses who co-starred in &quot;Blue Moment&quot; are ......"></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to attention, the focus shifts to the actresses co-starring in the new drama. Looking at the names that have been announced, the counterpart role is filled by Honda Tsubasa (31), who once buzzed with the phrase &#8220;poor acting.&#8221; And the heroine is the relatively unknown Deguchi Natsuki (22), creating a somewhat uneasy lineup&#8230;</span></p>
<p><b>&#8220;Absolutely not! This Deguchi Natsuki is touted as a &#8216;once-in-a-century talent.&#8217; This is because she played a maiko described as such in the Netflix series &#8216;Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san.&#8217; When I first saw her in this drama, I was amazed, thinking, &#8216;What is this? She truly seems like a once-in-a-century talent!&#8217;</b></p>
<p><b>She exudes a transparent charm and possesses high acting skills. She has gradually begun to play important roles in dramas and movies. Until Kawai Yumi (23), who gave a great performance in &#8216;Futekini mo Hodo ga aru!&#8217; (&#8217;24, TBS&#8217;), gained attention, Deguchi was considered the leading talent in the industry, truly an exceptional talent.&#8221; </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">(Television network PR representative)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, there are also slightly sarcastic comforting opinions&#8230;</span></p>
<p><b>&#8220;To put it bluntly, while Honda plays Yamashita&#8217;s counterpart, she will unfortunately die early in the story. Her death mystery becomes a key point in the plot, but her screen time doesn&#8217;t seem to be extensive.</b></p>
<p><b>Moreover, &#8216;Blue Moment&#8217; is a rescue specialist story, which is Yamashita&#8217;s forte. In addition to that, there are other skilled actors in supporting roles, so I believe this will surely become Yamashita&#8217;s new representative work.&#8221;</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (Previously mentioned entertainment writer and columnist)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With no blind spots for the resurrected Yamapi, that&#8217;s the gist of it. The start of the drama is eagerly awaited.</span></p>
