Shirota Yuu and Shimada Shuuhei attend release event for "Flash Forward"

allkpop



Actor Shirota Yuu and comedian turned fortune-teller Shimada Shuuhei attended a special event on the 7th for the DVD release of the American television series "Flash Forward". At the event, it was revealed that Shimada Shuuhei wasn't the only comedian in attendance.

"Flash Forward" was an American drama that began airing in 2009 on ABC, but after initial success, the show was canceled in 2010 after just twenty-two episodes. The show chronicles the lives of several characters including Korean-American actor John Cho, after a mysterious event causes people around the world to black out for exactly two minutes and seventeen seconds, during which they glimpse visions of their lives six months into the future. A special DVD set containing all twenty-two episodes will be available in Japan on March 2nd.

During the event, Shimada introduced himself as a comedian. Without thinking, Shirota jokingly blurted out, "He WAS a comedian... He couldn't even make me laugh once, even before he tried out fortune-telling."


The former comedian looked surprised, then quickly followed up with his own jab at the young actor. "All you have is your stylish image!"

Shirota, however, didn't make a comeback. "I won't say any more... " he stated, abruptly ending the joke between the two.

When questioned about "Flash Forward," Shirota revealed that he was a big fan of the show. "I've seen all the episodes, it was over much too soon," he replied excitedly. "I'm anxious for a sequel. Every time (I watch it), it's so suspenseful and it makes my heart pound. Then I can't sleep that night."

Shimada was then asked what he thought he would see if he were to black out like in drama, revealing his seriousness in his new line of work. "Half a year from now, the fortune-telling boom will continue. If I could appear on TV... " the fortune-teller trailed off, looking just as excited as Shirota.
