"Saigo kara Nibanme no Koi" back as SP this autumn

Koizumi Kyoko and Nakai Kiichi will be teaming up again in the sequel to their Winter 2012 drama "Saigo kara Nibanme no Koi" set in Kamakura which ended in March this year. Koizumi had played the character of Yoshino Chiaki, a 46-year-old single drama producer who met a 50-year-old single salaryman Nagakura Wappei (Nakai) working at the Kamakura City Office and the drama focused on how they gradually fell in love with each other. Koizumi had won three individual acting awards for her performance in this drama and the clothes she wore in the drama were selling out quickly. In addition, the Enoshima train which was widely featured in the drama became a hit with increased ridership numbers. As a result of the popularity of the drama and feedback from viewers that they wished to see a sequel, FujiTV then decided to produce a SP which continues from where the drama ended and is set at the end of summer.

Filming began in Kamakura on 10 September. Despite having not met for the past six months, Koizumi and Nakai displayed great chemistry and expressed joy in being able to reprise their roles.
