Production press conference of NHK drama "Gekiryuu ~ Watashi wo Oboete imasuka? ~"

The production press conference of NHK drama "Gekiryuu ~ Watashi wo Oboete imasuka? ~" was held on 13 May which was attended by Tanaka Rena, Kiritani Kenta, Kuninaka Ryoko and Tomosaka Rie. Yamamoto Koji who was originally scheduled to attend the press conference, did not show up at the event as he was unwell and needed time to recuperate especially since he had just finished his stage play "Onore Napoleon" on the previous day and had not slept for the past three days. The drama will begin its run from 25 June at 10pm on Tuesdays.

"Gekiryuu" features a group of 5 former classmates who are now 35 and reunite after a gap of 20 years. When they were students and went on a graduation trip together, one of their female friends disappeared. However, the bewildering thing is that, the 5 of them receive an email from the missing girl and then come together to find out what is going on.

As the cast members are close in age, they talked about how enjoyable the filming was since they had a great time chatting during breaks and learnt a lot from one another. Kiritani even commented that Tanaka is so frank that she speaks her mind freely and does not hide her thoughts.
