Cast-lineup announced for FujiTV drama SP "Hasegawa Machiko Monogatari ~ Sazae-san ga umareta hi"

Filming for the FujiTV drama SP "Hasegawa Machiko Monogatari ~ Sazae-san ga umareta hi" starring Ono Machiko began recently. The SP is due to be shown in November and features Ono as Hasegawa Machiko, the creator of the popular anime series "Sazae-san" which has been running for 45 years. Machiko's elder sister Mariko will be played by Hasegawa Kyoko while her youngest sister Yoko will be played by Kimura Fumino. Machiko's mother Sadako will be played by Matsuzaka Keiko while Miura Tomokazu will play Machiko's teacher.

In order to portray the close relationship between the sisters, Ono revealed that she tries to stay close to Hasegawa during the filming. They even joked that their names when combined together will become Hasegawa Machiko so this sort of helped them to bond faster even though this is the first time they are working together.
