Uchiyama Rina will take the lead role in the TV Tokyo drama SP "Joyu Reiko Honou no You ni" (Actress Reiko, Like Fire) which suffered a delay from autumn last year because the previous choice for the role (i.e. Ono Machiko) pulled out of the drama due to scheduling conflicts. The drama SP is due to be shown in March this year and features Uchiyama as the late actress Oohara Reiko who went through major life events like the failure of her plastic surgery, fighting breast cancer, abortion and two divorces. Uchiyama paid a visit to Oohara's grave recently and pledged to do her best for this drama. She also revealed to the press that she has no intention of impersonating Oohara but would rather focus on trying to convey her feelings during each significant life event. Filming begins at the end of this month and will be shown in a primetime slot spanning more than 2 hours.
