Shinohara Ryoko will make her return to the drama scene since her last appearance in NTV's "Ougon no Buta". This time, she will star in an untitled FujiTV spring 2013 drama starting in April which features Shinohara as a woman named Toyama Sakura who is a capable hairdresser but is indifferent about her dressing. Sakura has not had a boyfriend in 10 years and scratches her buttocks when she wakes up in the morning. Due to hormonal imbalance, Sakura finds herself with some hairs growing from her chin like a man does and starts to realise that she needs to jumpstart her romance life again. Co-stars include Miura Haruma a professional cyclist who is worried about his performance and falls for Sakura despite being much younger and Fujiki who is the new manager at the hair salon Sakura works in.

This sounds very much like a remake of Anego, no? Younger man, woman who wants to get hitched and another guy waiting in the sidelines? Well, circumstances have changed because Shinohara was single when she acted in Anego and now she's a happy mother with two kids. I wonder if that will affect how viewers look at her if she plays a single woman but this should be a fun drama to watch. Miura and Shinohara is a refreshing yet somewhat unlikely combination (I wouldn't have imagined them to be a potential couple in a drama/movie prior to this) so whether they will show good chemistry will also probably affect the viewers' receptiveness to the concept. I'm guessing that Fujiki will probably be some cheeky fellow who irritates Shinohara's character to hell but is probably holding a torch for her at the end. The premise of this drama isn't very exciting to be honest but for the sake of Shinohara, I will check things out for a while.
