The next Monday9 "Forensics" Ikuta and Satomi casted
In Fuji TV's "Monday9 Drama", "VOICE~ Voice of the dead" showing next January starring actor Eita (25), actor Ikuta Toma (24) and actress Ishihara Satomi were casted, as known on the 3rd. It's Ikuta's first time as a regular cast on Monday9, while it's Ishihara's first heroine role in Monday9.
This is an original story, and the theme is "Forensics", a rarity in serial dramas. The 3 of them act as university forensic students. It seems like it'll be a drama depicting the human side showing "life and death" in a series of murder and serious crimes.
Says Ikuta with enthusiasm "I want to make it a meaningful drama which will make people think about the importance of life." When Ishihara's casting was decided, she started reading up on forensic textbooks and reference materials, saying "it's surprisingly close to heart yet very deep, so it's interesting!" and gives her everything in carving the role. "I have this feeling it's a drama which will leave something behind every week", she says as though with a sense of working through it already.
Together with Eita, these 3 young talented actors will cut into the serial drama world with their sharp "scalpels"!
Ishihara Satomi is a female undergraduate! Eita's close friend is Ikuta Toma
Ikuta Toma (24) and Ishihara Satomi (21) will be acting in Fuji TV's next Monday9 drama. In "VOICE~ Voice of the dead" which starts next January, it depicts the struggle of students belonging to the forensics department in the medical university. It's Ikuta's first time as a regular cast on Monday9, while it's Ishihara's first heroine role in Monday9.
Ikuta plays the close friend of the lead role Eita (25) is playing. In classes he's a womaniser and mood maker, but hides his true personality, a difficult role with 2 personalities, but producer Takiyama Madoka explains, "It's a complicated role which combines the light and shadows of Ikuta-san, and has many expressions". Ikuta also says with enthusiasm "I want to make it a meaningful drama which will make people think about the importance of life."
Ishihara is a top student full of passion and knowledge. It's her first formal role as an undergraduate, and comments "I look forward to bringing out the campus life. I've started reading forensic textbooks and reference materials but it's surprisingly close to heart yet very deep, and it's interesting!"

TOKYO �
Actor Ken Utsui, 77, actress Satomi Ishihara, 21, Michiko Hada, 40, and other cast of Tokai TV�s special drama �Nagaiki Senso� (War over Longevity) appeared at an event this week to promote the drama which marks the 50th anniversary of Tokyo TV. It will be aired on the Fuji TV network nationwide on Dec 26.
The drama is about six 76-year-old elderly people who try to live longer than each other in order to receive money from a special fund. Utsui plays a 76-year-old character who meets a young woman (Ishihara) and gets into philosophical discussions about the meaning of life and death.
Utsui said, �I was surprised that a story about six senior citizens would make a TV drama. But I�m very happy that the Japanese TV and film industries are interested in producing such dramas. The way I feel these days, this drama may be my posthumous work.�
Ishihara said, �I�m very pleased that I could work together with wonderful actors and crew. This drama has been a great experience for me.�
