Production press conference of drama SP "Specialist"

The production press conference of drama SP "Specialist" was held on 2 May at TV Asahi's HQ in Roppongi which was attended by cast members Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, Minami Kaho, Ashina Sei, Hiraoka Yuta and Saito Takumi. The drama SP will be shown on 18 May at 9pm.

Kusanagi plays his first role as a police detective who gets framed for a crime he didn't commit and had to spend the last 10 years in prison. However, he regains his job as a police officer and makes use of his specialised knowledge on criminal psychology to solve difficult cases. Kusanagi remarked that it was tough for him to memorise his lines which contained lots of jargon and he admitted that he didn't know who was the criminal while reading the script.

Minami plays Kusanagi's partner in the drama SP and is nicknamed as the "Obasan Keiji" who praised her partner for being someone who has a high level of concentration when filming. In addition, as the filming was done in Kyoto during February when it was freezing, Kusanagi would always help to burn the charcoal used to keep everyone warm.
