Tatsuya Fukazawa of Snow Man Sparks Fan Reactions with Revealed Hints About First-Ever Event

The theme is “Parasitic Parenting”.

It has been revealed that Tatsuya Fukazawa (32) from Snow Man will appear in a supporting role in the drama “Watashi no Takaramono,” starring Wakana Matsumoto (40), which starts in October on Fuji TV. Before the information was made public, there were rumors of certain hints around Fukazawa, leading fans to respond with, “So this is what it was about.”

“The theme of the drama featuring Fukazawa is ‘parasitic parenting,’ where a woman raises a child from a man other than her husband as if it were her husband’s child. Matsumoto plays the protagonist, a housewife named Miu Kanzaki. Living under a husband who hurls emotionally abusive words at her, she accidentally reunites with her childhood friend Ryo Fuyutsuki, whom she has secretly loved. They spend a night together, and she ends up pregnant with his child, that’s the premise of the story,” says an entertainment writer.

Along with the production announcement, an image visual was released featuring silhouettes of the male cast members portraying Matsumoto’s husband, Hiroki, and her childhood friend, Fuyutsuki, on either side of her. Although their faces were obscured, some Snow Man fans speculated, based on the male figure’s hairstyle and body shape, that one of them could be Fukazawa.

This speculation arises because he and the other members had hinted at a new major project as early as August.

“On August 8, Fukazawa reported on the members-only site FAMILY CLUB web blog that he had recently started going back to facial contouring treatments (exact wording). He also mentioned that he was working on his physique through home workouts, focusing on enhancing his visuals during this time,” said the source.

Additionally, on the radio program “Fujiya Presents: Snow Man no Sumanma” (Cultural Broadcasting) aired on the 22nd, some intriguing comments were made. Member Koji Mukai casually remarked, “Fuka-san is really busy with various things right now.” When the discussion shifted to Fukazawa’s changing hair color, Mukai responded playfully, “Oh? I wonder why that is? How interesting!”

In response, Fukazawa seemed pleased and said, “Please look forward to it,” leading fans to anticipate his new projects.

Amid this buzz, it was revealed on September 9 that the main cast of “Watashi no Takaramono” includes actor Kei Tanaka and Fukazawa. Tanaka will portray the protagonist’s husband, Hiroki, while Fukazawa will play the childhood friend, Fuyutsuki.

Details of the role leave Fukazawa feeling overwhelmed.

Regarding his feelings upon receiving the offer for this project, Fukazawa commented, “This work has a bit of a dangerous vibe as an adult romance drama, and I was really surprised that I received an offer for such a role.”

For Fukazawa, this will be his first attempt at a “slightly provocative, thrilling love story,” but he added, “I will do my best, so please watch!”

After the official announcement, fans of Snow Man shared their thoughts:

“Was this the hint from ‘Sumanma’?”
“Sure enough, Koji-kun’s hints on the radio had meaning! He must have been happy about Fukazawa’s drama work.”
“The hints from Fukazawa and Mukai on the radio have been revealed. We’re likely to see a new side of Fukka in this drama.”
“In the August 8 blog, he mentioned he started facial contouring and working out again, and I knew something was up. It was for this drama!”

Reactions like these have been pouring in.

As “Watashi no Takaramono” is an adult romance drama, fans anticipating Fukazawa’s love scenes are already expressing concern, saying, “If it’s too intense, I might not be able to handle it.” What kind of performance will Fukazawa showcase in this series starting on October 17?
