Mio Imada & Hikari Ishida – Leading Actresses Unleash an Overwhelming Aura at the Gathering of Leading Actresses
FRIDAY Eyewitness! Harikomi24
Makuhari, 18:45.
The currently airing drama “Bad Girl: Who Said Working Was Uncool? 〜(NTV), a popular work that was broadcast 30 years ago, has been redramatized with a new 2025 version of the story.
The main character, Maririn Tanaka, is played by Mio Imada (25), a bright and cheerful new employee. Hikari Ishida (49), who played the heroine 30 years ago, makes a special appearance as the human resources department manager.
I saw them at a hotel in front of Kaihin-Makuhari Station (Chiba City) one day in April. Imada and Ishida were filming a scene at the rotary at the entrance of the hotel, bowing deeply to a cab as they saw it off. What a sight to see the old and new Marilyn together!
Ishida plays the part of Marilyn and is very hard on Imada, but I hear that she is very affectionate with him on set,” said a source at the TV station.
Ishida got her big break after playing Marilyn in the morning drama “Hirari” (NHK) and “Asunaro Hakusho” (Fuji TV), and we are sure that the second Marilyn, Imada, will also climb the career ladder like Ishida. Imada, the second Marilyn, is sure to climb the ladder of success just like Ishida.
