Takeuchi Yuko's "Strawberry Night" will become a drama series next year

Neat and clean actress�Takeuchi Yuko tried out the role of a detective for the first time in the 2010 drama special, "Strawberry Night", and today it was revealed that she will reprise this role for a full-fledged drama adaption next year.

Takeuchi plays the role of Himekawa Reiko, a non-career female detective who still managed to climb up the ranks in very short time. Her biggest weapon is her incredibly sharp intuition that enables her to know the feelings of a criminal better than the criminal himself. It's a fresh role, depicting a female detective that is cold, powerful, in some moments graceful, and yet oh so fragile.

The drama special was based on Honda Tetsuya's best-selling novel, "Strawberry Night", about a mysterious serial murder case. The drama serial will continue his novel series about Himekawa Reiko, adopting the stories from many of his other installments.

The filming will already begin this month, and Takeuchi is absolutely enthused about this project. She commented, "One characteristic of a drama serial are the guest appearances in each of the episodes and I can't wait to work with all the guest actors. Further 'Strawberry Night' will become much more powerful thanks to the new members of the team, so it might be even more fun this time."

Several key characters from the drama special will reprise their roles in the drama serial as well, including Takeda Tetsuya, Nishijima Hidetoshi, and Ukaji Takashi.�Other familiar faces will once again be played by Namase Katsuhisa, Takashima Masahiro, Endo Kenichi, Watanabe Ikkei, and Tsugawa Masahiko.�It was also announced that Koide Keisuke was added to the cast as one of the new members at the police station.

"Strawberry Night" is scheduled by Fuji TV to start airing in January of 2012.

Are you looking forward to the potential of the new show?
