Kuroki Hana campaigning in a blouson?　She showed a fresh smile on location for the drama series in which she stars in the April season.

She is over 30 years old and a bit frail.”

A woman …… wearing a blouson with the “Minseito” logo on the chest and holding a file containing election leaflets carefully to her chest. She is actor Kuroki Hana (36).

In mid-March, she was filming for the April drama “Ginga no ichibou (The Vote of the Galaxy)” (Kantele/Fuji TV) on a boardwalk in the suburbs of Tokyo.

The drama tells the story of a secretary and daughter of the ruling party’s secretary-general who loses everything after a document informs her of a politician’s corruption and challenges the election of the snack bar owner she met by chance to become Tokyo’s governor. Kuroki stars as Mari Hoshino (Matsuri Hoshino), the secretary, and Kayo Noro (42) plays Akari Tsukioka (Akari Tsukioka), the mama of the snack bar.

The script is an original by Naomi Hiruta, known for her work on “Funa o Henimu: Boku, Denshi Tsukumu” (NHK), and the chief director is Kana Matsumoto, who directed “Hirayasumi,” which aired on NHK last year and attracted a great deal of attention. Produced by Ayumi Sano, who produced “Elpisu: Hope or Disaster” (Fuji TV) starring Masami Nagasawa (38) in 2010, this is a new election entertainment series from a female perspective with a female staff and cast playing a central role.

The scene was filmed with Kuroki dressed in an outfit similar to the one shown at the beginning of the film, approaching a high school girl sitting on a bench on the promenade and kindly listening to her concerns. The temperature that day was quite cold, around 10 degrees Celsius, and between takes, he and the woman playing the high school girl wrapped themselves in blankets to keep warm, and sat on the bench enjoying the conversation.

On March 13, Kuroki took the stage at a press conference to announce the production of “NORA” (Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space), a stage he will star in in July. Kuroki, who celebrates his 36th birthday the following day, was asked about his enthusiasm,

I’m a little worried about my physical strength since I turned 30, so I will do my best to take care of my health. Thank you very much.

He replied with a wry smile. In the preview video released on March 17 on Kantele’s official website, he runs and raises his voice in scenes. In the trailer released on Kantele’s official website on March 17, Kuroki runs and shouts in scenes that show his physical acting. Kuroki said of Mari, the actress who plays Mari,

I think it’s adorable that she sometimes runs away from people in pursuit of “the happiness of the whole world,” and I hope you will enjoy watching our buddy (Kuroki and Noro) powerfully go forward with her. (From Kantele’s official website).
