Production press conference of "Kasukana Kanojo"

The production press conference of FujiTV spring 2013 drama "Kasukana Kanojo" was held on 7 April which was attended by cast members including Katori Shingo, An, Maeda Atsuko and Maya Miki. The drama is scheduled to begin its run from 9 April at 10pm on Tuesdays (first episode from 10.10pm) and features Katori as a a junior high school teacher who loses his passion towards his work and unexpectedly works with a female ghost (An) who used to be an enthusiastic teacher to solve the problems in school.

When asked about what kind of extraordinary things have happened to him to date, Katori revealed that he had been in New York's Times Square just hours ago for the filming of his movie and almost had to arrive in Nagoya instead of Tokyo due to the poor weather conditions. After a delayed arrival, he headed straight to the venue of the press conference so he commented that it was tough but something he was used to as a SMAP member. As for An, she said that she wears white colours in the drama so she found it a bit odd to wear something so nice at the press conference. Maeda Atsuko who left AKB48 last August, said that playing a teacher for the first time and not wearing a school uniform anymore in a drama was something she didn't expect to happen so soon and hoped to be able to wear a school uniform again.
