Fuji TV just recently held the press conference for their upcoming Monday drama, "Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta", starring Toda Erika and Miura Haruma.

The drama features a thrilling love story about two engaged teachers, Natsumi (Toda) and Shuji (Miura), and a female student, Hikari (Takei Emi), that spent one night together with her teacher Shuji. The overall theme could be described as a "trial of their love".

It is the first time that Toda and Miura have acted as teachers, and Miura had his own way of preparing for such a difficult new role. �He said, "I've called my homeroom teacher from junior high and bombarded him with questions." Toda had her problems as well, "The director didn't give me a lot of orders, he just told me to be like 'a good older sister to the students'... Quite a difficult role. The most difficult so far actually."

Furthermore, the actors both expressed their first impression of each other. �Miura started by saying, "She is a great actress who I am looking up to!" Toda couldn't help but laugh and bashfully thanked him for such a compliment. She then returned the favor and said, "He has a very strong and fresh impression, and is very enthusiastic when it comes to acting. Moreover, he is very kind and helps me to relax."

AKB48's Shinoda Mariko also appears on the show as a close friend and wedding planner for the couple, and she actually had been Shuji's boyfriend prior to Natsumi. �Shinoda also gave her thoughts on the drama,�"I haven't yet completely read the script until the end, but the story is already so interesting that I feel like it is going to be� a smooth read-through as soon as I receive it." This marks�Shinoda's first real acting role, and thus, she is having quite a bit of worries, saying, "I'm very nervous. Everyday I think about my performance and what would be the best way to convey the characteristics of my role."

In relation to the drama's title, the actors further talked about the important advice they received from their parents.

Toda said, "My father has told me to always live a modest life full of gratitude."

Miura has received a similar advice from his mother, "She has told me to always be honest and kind."

Takei had advice of her own, "You should find happiness every day." About the drama, she said with plenty of spirit, "I will try hard to destroy their relationship." It seems like she is already playing her role perfectly.

Kazama Morio and Uchida Yuki attended the press conference as well.

"Taisetsu na Koto" is going to premier on January 17th.
