After starring in the TBS drama series "Maou" last season, Arashi's Satoshi Ohno is back with his second starring TV role.
This time, he will lead the TV Asahi comedy series "Uta no Oniisan," which will air on Friday nights at 11:15pm this winter. This is said to be his first comedy role, including his performances in film and theater.

The story revolves around an unconventional children's show called "Minna de Utao!" Ohno plays Kenta, a young musician whose band breaks up and who gets dumped by his girlfriend. To top it off, his own family labels him as useless. Unexpectedly, he becomes an "uta no oniisan," a singing character on the children's show.

The show begins filming on the 18th of this month and premieres on January 16.

lets speculate first! :naughty:
who would you like to be in the cast?
I want... Esumi Makiko! Just because she's great in comedies and it would be lovely to see her as one of the characters that torments Ohno :twisted:
And she got long legs. Lovely contrast with Ohno height.

had never watched her in dramas before, but her image implies she'd do great as a strong/tough character..:victory:

just wishful thinking, maybe Nino in a kuma mascot outfit dancing with Kenta would do.. :hehe: :hehe:
