It's been revealed that Morning Musume's Michishige Sayumi and Tanaka Reina will take lead roles for upcoming late night drama "Suugaku Joshi Gakuen" which will start airing on January 11th (NTV).

This drama will be a school drama about Math battles, and it will center Michishige and Tanaka who are the classmates and rivals, with a only male student of the school (will be played by Sakurada Dori) who�transferred�to the school by mistake, and has no interest in Math. �As the opponents of Michishige and Tanaka's Math battles, other Mobekimasu (comprised of 5 Hello!

This will be the first time for both Michishige and Tanaka to appear in a drama, and Michishige commented with a smile, "Since this is the genre I have never done before, I thought it was difficult at first. �However, I started to think it is fun to do acting now. �Reina is a big help to me since she teaches me a lot of things." �She also said about other Mobekimasu members, "I have only seen Mobekimasu members as idols, so it feels fresh to see them acting." �Tanaka also commented, "I am enjoying the shoot without getting nervous since it's members I know well." �Then the two girls said, "We would like many people to know about Mobekimasu through this drama."
