Sorimachi Takashi will be starring in the drama SP "Shichou Shisu" (The city mayor is dead) based on the same titled novel by Matsumoto Seicho. The drama SP is meant to coincide with Matsumoto's 20th death anniversary and is scheduled to be shown via FujiTV on 3 April. This is the first time Sorimachi is starring in a Matsumoto Seicho work and the second time in 53 years since this novel was made into a drama.

The story is set in the post-war period where a city mayor is found missing during work and found later dead in a hot spring. His nephew Kasaki Kouzou who owns a flower shop and is also a city council member finds the death suspicious and sets out to find the truth behind it. Filming began on 1 March.
