Press conference of "BOSS"

The production press conference of "BOSS" was held on 7 April where cast members Amami Yuki, Takenouchi Yutaka, Tamayama Tetsuji, Mizobata Junpei, Toda Erika, Kichise Michiko, Kendo Kobayashi and Nukumizu Yoichi made appearances. Amami plays the chief of the "Police Force 1st Section Special Crimes Bureau" which is known for its assemble of so-called "extraordinary" police detectives and was set up to deal with special crimes. However, they are not really expected to do anything magnificent and the place is more like a dumping ground for unwanted personnel from other units. Nonetheless, contrary to expectations, the team manages to solve puzzling cases as the drama develops.

Tamayama remarked that Amami is behaving more like a mother rather than the boss on the set while Mizobata said that Amami was the most "manly" among the cast members. This made Amami embarrassed and said that this would be really frightening for her to be more manly than the guys.

Takenouchi revealed that throughout his career, he has played a police detective for the most number of times. As such, he has taken care not to frown too much during his scenes.

The first episode of BOSS will be shown on 16 April and extended by 15 minutes.
