On July 9th, Maeda Atsuko (who'll turn 20 years old on the 10th) was surprised by the cast and staff members of �Hanazakari no Kimitachi e~ Ikemen Paradise~ 2011� with an impromptu party! As the 10th is also the date for drama�s first broadcast, she expressed, �This is truly a wonderful 20th birthday. I am happy that we were able to have a good start!�
In this new drama, Maeda will play 'Ashiya Mizuki' who, of her own volition, decides to cross-dress in order to attend the all-boys Osaka Academy. On this day, the cast was at Gunma Prefecture filming an athletic event, despite the 95�F heat wave.
While she was in the midst of acting, actor Miura Shohei (23) suddenly shouted, �Atsuko! Atsuko!�, and soon Maeda was presented with a birthday cake topped with twenty candles. Afterwards, Atsuko happily expressed, �Thank you! I am happy that we were able to get off to a good start, as this is my final drama as a teenager.� She also added, �Also, I want to try alcohol!�
When another AKB48 member, Itano Tomomi, turned 20, she was given a wine bottle of the same year of her birth (1991) at her�July 8th special live event. But since Maeda was still 19 years old on the 9th, her alcohol experience was �postponed�.
Nevertheless, co-star Nakamura Aoi (20) invited the girl out for a fun party, saying, �If you�d like, please� participate in a drinking party with the guys as well.�
Maeda then expressed her goals as a 20 year old with, �Since I am told sometimes that I'm such a baby, I want to be an independent adult woman one day.�
Maeda will be singing�this drama�s theme song, �Flying Get�, as the center of her idol group, AKB48. �The song will premiere on air during the first episode the drama. �July 10th was truly in many ways, �Acchan�s Day�.
