allkpop


On February 29th, it was announced that six members from Johnny�s Jr. and six of AKB48 members will be starring in NTV�s late night drama, �Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou (Private Bakaleya High School)�, which will start its broadcast on April 14th (every Saturday, 12:50 A.M).

This drama will mark the first project for Johnny�s Jr. members and girls of AKB48 to co-star in a same drama. In regards to AKB48, Johnny�s Jr. member Morimoto Shintaro (14) stated, �They are a national idol. That�s amazing.� AKB48�s Shimazaki Haruka (17) then commented, �Since we would not usually co-star with a Johnny�s Jr., I can feel the weight of this project,� and showed her nervousness at this stage.

AKB48�s own producer Akimoto Yasushi (55) has created his own original, youthful story for this project with a merger of a delinquent high school and rich girl�s high school as a setting.

Morimoto, who will play the leader of these high school delinquents, revealed, �Although the real me would settle everything through talking, I am interested in learning how a real fight goes down.� Shimazaki added, �Although I am a clumsy person, I want to show how capable I can be on-screen,� and declared her aspirations through her role as a student council president.

Aside from Morimoto and Shimazaki, Johnny�s Jr. members Matsumura Hokuto, Kyomoto Taiga, Tanaka Juri, Lewis Jesse, Kochi Yugo and AKB48�s Oba Mina, Nagao Mariya, Kobayashi Marina, Shimada Haruka and Nakamura Mariko will also be part of this upcoming drama.
