AKB48′s Maeda Atsuko stars in new “Hana Kimi” drama series
Fuji TV announced today that the 2007 drama series “Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Ikemen Paradise” is coming back this summer, but with an entirely new cast. Instead of the original lead actress Horikita Maki, the new series will be led by AKB48’s Maeda Atsuko.
Based on the popular manga series by Nakajo Hisaya, “Hanazakari no Kimitachi e” (abbreviated as “Hana Kimi”) tells the story of a girl named Ashiya Mizuki who lives in the United States. She falls in love with a young high jumper named Sano Izumi after seeing him on television, but when he suddenly quits the sport, she decides to take action. In order to get close to Sano and help him return to high jumping, she moves to Japan and disguises herself as a boy to enroll in Sano’s all-boys high school.
In the first drama series, the male leads were played by Oguri Shun and Ikuta Toma, though the show also featured other popular actors like Mizushima Hiro and Okada Masaki. The new show will reportedly have a fresh cast, and the setting and story will also be changed. Rather than being a sequel to the first series, Fuji TV’s announcement suggests that this will be a new retelling of the story. However, plot details are being kept secret for now.
The original series averaged 17.3% ratings over its 12-episode run, and the finale reached 21.0%.
Naturally, AKB48 will be in charge of the new show’s theme song, to be released in August, likely as the group’s 22nd single. The center member and other participants will be decided in AKB48′s Senbatsu election, which starts on June 9.
The drama series will start in July and air on Sundays at 9:00pm.
Well, susah nk cari Nakatsu, Nanba senpai n aura boy mcm yg asal, but kite ader feeling yg Acchan can be better Mizuki. Based on Majisuka Gakuen ngan Q10, kite agik sker lakonan Acchan sbnrnya. Tp Maki pun dh improve ckit akhir2 nih, terutama dlm Umareru. Lgpun derang leh guna populariti AKB48, leh bawak masuk TakaMina sengal tuh ker... Just hope this will be well made, sementelah ia akan ganti kt timeslot Marumo no Okite yg best itew...
Knapa???
Hana Kimi tu mcm baru sgt....kalau selang 10 tahun nak buat lagi satu takpe gak
tolongla cari casts yg best2,jln citer yg best, sbb citer yg sblm ni dah sedia tinggi tahapnya.
mmg bagi kite pun Acchan tu lebih sesuai jadik Mizuki dari Maki...tukar si Sano tu pun kite OK...tapi macam Nakatsu ngan Oscar nih susah nak lepas sbb Toma ngan Nobuo Kyo dulu sgt bagus...
