Satoshi Matsushima of Sexy Zone and Mone Kamishiraishi Stunning in Their Detective Roles
Kinya Kitaoji, who starred in the NHK morning drama, was infected with the new corona and was hospitalized.
In late January, the drama “Memory Investigation” (TV Tokyo) was being filmed in a building in Tokyo. Actress Mone Kamishiraishi (24) and Satoshi Matsushima (24) of “Sexy Zone” were among the group of people chasing a man fleeing from the building. The man jumped down from the third floor of the building and escaped, while Kamishiraishi and Matsushima, who were too late, watched in dismay from the stairs of the building as he fled.
This is a popular series starring Kinya Kitaoji (78), and Kamishiraishi has been an integral part of the series since he appeared as a rookie detective in the first season in 2007. This is Matsushima’s first appearance in the series. The location for a special episode that will be aired this spring,” said a TV station insider.
She has been extremely busy, with her excellent performance in NHK’s morning drama “Come Come Everyday”, and her role as the lead actress in the stage play “Spirited Away” with Kanna Hashimoto (23) starting in February.
I have the impression that she is a very good actress, singer, and host, but because she is clumsy, she works stoically at jobs. I think she has the potential to be like Sayuri Yoshinaga in the future,” said columnist Takahiko Kageyama.
With the discovery of Kitaoji’s corona infection, the scene is without its lead actor, but fresh actors such as Kamishiraishi and Matsushima can add a different excitement to the show.
