 The mystery drama &#8220;The Scales of Justice&#8221; (NHK, scheduled to start airing on September 25) is about a doctor-turned-lawyer genius named Takano, played by Kamenashi Kazuya (35), who uncovers the truth behind a number of difficult cases. It was a day in early September when I encountered the filming of this drama in Shinjuku.

 While extras playing the roles of reporters and cameramen were waiting in the light rain, Hiromitsu Kitayama (36) of &#8220;Kis-My-Ft2&#8221; appeared from a pick-up truck. Unusually, he was wearing glasses because of his role. He plays Sugimura, a lawyer who works on the same team as Takano. Sugimura, a lawyer who works on the same team as Takano, is a NEET turned lawyer who studied hard and has a shining lawyer&#8217;s badge on his jacket collar.

 On this day, they were filming a scene where Sugimura, played by Kitayama, is surrounded by a large number of reporters as he walks. After the shooting, Kitayama was checking the monitor with a serious expression.
 Kamenashi and Kitayama belong to the same Japanese office. Although Kamenashi joined the agency and made his CD debut before Kitayama, they are actually in the same year. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing their well-matched performances.

From&#8220; FRIDAY &#8220; October 8, 2021issue

 In the mystery drama "The Scales of Justice," Kazuya Kamenashi plays Takano, a doctor-turned-lawyer who uncovers the truth behind a number of difficult cases. This is the first time I've ever seen a movie where the characters are so different from each other.

Hiromitsu Kitayama of Kis-My-Ft2, the extras can’t stop looking at his “passionate performance as a lawyer”.
