Actors Koike Teppei and Nishijima Takahiro (AAA) will be starring in�BeeTV's new mobile drama, titled "Shounan?Natsukoi Monogatari".

The drama is about two unpopular boys named Nonomura Yosuke (Koike) and Kawai Akira (Nishijima), who meet at a beach house after searching for a place to fit in. Usuda Asami and Kinami Haruka will also co-star in this bittersweet summer love story.



Koike and Nishijima play two very different roles in the drama. "After playing this role, I felt that a person's talent can bloom during any encounter or with any timing. When I compare myself to him, he's too good of a person," said Koike. Regarding Koike's comment, Nishijima enthusiastically stated, "We are alike when it comes to honesty. I had fun playing the total opposite role of Yosuke."

Koike also commented, "I can relate to young people's troubles with love and dreams. I'm also encouraged when I see them working hard. It would make me happy if they realize that love and friendship is a good thing after watching this drama."

"Shounan?Natsukoi Monogatari" will air on BeeTV every Wednesday beginning August 1st. Each episode will run for 10 minutes, with a total of 12 episodes.
