A sequel to Sunday Theater’s “Caster” is already in the works… “Certain moves” are being made toward Mei Nagano’s “continuation” in the series, which is still in the works.

The drama “Caster” starring Meiku Nagano (25) was a foreshadowing of the upcoming drama “timelesz” by Takuto Teranishi.
On June 15, the Sunday drama “Caster” (TBS), in which actress Mei Nagano (25) served as the heroine, reached its final episode.
The drama is about an unconventional newscaster, Soichi Shindo, played by Hiroshi Abe (60), who becomes the MC of the news program “News Gate” and reveals the dark side of society.
In addition to a private, close-up shot with actor Kei Tanaka (40), a record of what appeared to be a line exchange between the two was also leaked. It was also reported that she was secretly meeting with Korean actor Kim Moo-joon, who co-stars with Tanaka in “Caster” at the same time.
After the affair, Kim’s appearances in “Caster” decreased, and there were times when he was not in the show at all. In the last episode of the show, she appeared in a glimpse, and people on social networking sites were saying, “She’s alive! (sports newspaper reporter).
In the last episode, a mysterious character played by Takuto Teranishi (30) of the idol group “timelesz” appeared. The end of the series hinted at a sequel. A person involved in the entertainment industry said, “Top actor Hiroshi Abe and his wife, Kayo, are the main characters in the series.
A person involved in the entertainment industry said, “When you put top actors Hiroshi Abe and Mei Nagano together, you know there is going to be a sequel. Teranishi, who appeared in the last episode, is by far the most popular of the new “timelesz” members. There is no way that he, too, will end up appearing in a one-shot.”
We contacted TBS about the possibility of a “Caster” sequel, but received no response by the deadline.
If there is a sequel, the biggest concern is Nagano’s “continuation. Regarding his alleged affair with Tanaka, he claimed through his agency that they were “senior and junior colleagues. He also completely denies having any recollection of the line that appeared in Bunshun.
However, commercial sponsors left one after another, and all commercial-related videos were closed to the public. The allegations of infidelity seem to have been judged “gray,” but surprisingly, there are many favorable comments toward Nagano at the “Caster” site.
I don’t know what the public thinks, but at least on the set of “Caster,” he was loved by everyone. If they do a sequel, most people say, ‘I want her to appear in it again.
The sports reporter mentioned above believes that “Nagano’s appearance in a sequel to ‘Caster’ will depend on whether or not he can provide a satisfactory explanation for the “gray” allegations of adultery.
Since it has become such a big deal, he has no choice but to hold a press conference. This is not an issue that will fade away with the passage of time. Sooner or later, at some point, accountability will be demanded.
We will not give in to bare curiosity.”
Even if we hold a press conference, we must be sincere. On June 10, former Shiori Yamao, 50, a member of the House of Representatives, held a press conference in preparation for running for the upper house of the Diet as a proportional candidate with the People’s Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). The point of contention was the alleged affair eight years ago. At the time, Yamao did not answer the allegations head-on, but instead retorted, “I will not give in to your bared curiosity.
At the press conference, questions again flew about the alleged affair, but Yamao said,
I’m going to cause trouble for people in various positions. I will refrain from discussing anything new.
He only repeated, “I will refrain from talking about anything new. Adding fuel to the fire, the unofficial endorsement was rescinded.
Some have questioned the responsibility of Representative Yuichiro Tamaki, but Mr. Yamao should have answered the questions without running away. If he had answered in good faith, the result might have been different.
Even after eight years, the allegations of adultery cannot be swept under the rug. For the past two or three weeks, a source close to Nagano has been saying,
“Nagano and Tanaka’s wife had an exchange. It seems that she apologized in some way.
The actor is on the brink of extinction as an actor.
Nagano is on the precipice as an actor. We wonder if the day will ever come when he will be able to speak out about the turmoil.
