The first episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, aired on April 17th, and a popular celebrity who appeared early in the episode has become a hot topic.
The drama follows the "Tagusari Brothers," older brother Makoto Tagusari (played by Okada), a detective, and younger brother Minoru Tagusari (played by Someya), a medical examiner, as they investigate a series of heinous crimes that occur daily and pursue the true culprit in the murder of their parents, a case that expired just two days before the statute of limitations was abolished.
Early in the first episode, as Makoto was about to leave a coffee shop, two women passed her. One of the women complained about her boyfriend, saying, "He's kind, we get along well, and I thought there was nothing to complain about. But he has a hidden side. The other day, I was at my boyfriend's house when the other woman suddenly barged in." She continued, speaking quickly, "When I asked him which one he wanted to date, he said, 'Neither of them'..."
The woman who was venting her frustrations about her boyfriend was played by former AKB48 member and talent, Mitsuho Fukutome. Comments on social media included: "She talked a lot in the drama too!!", "I thought I heard a voice that sounded like Mitsuho Fukutome, and it turned out to be Fukutome herself", "Her natural acting was great", and "She had so many lines".
