Fujiwara Tatsuya will play the lead role in TV Asahi's new drama SP "Inemuri Sensei" (Dozing Teacher) which is based on the autobiography of writer Ijuuin Shizuka, marking his first drama appearance since he announced his impending marriage this year on 31 May. The drama SP is due to be shown this autumn and features Ijuuin's life after his actress wife Natsume Masako suddenly passed away at the age of 27 years old in 1985 due to acute myelocytic leukaemia. Ijuuin became an alcoholic and was living a messy life until he was introduced to the late Naoki award writer Irokawa Takehiro and the two went on holidays while immersed in the joy of gambling. Fujiwara will play the role of Ijuuin while Nishida Toshiyuki will play Irokawa who was popular but hid the fact that he was suffering from narcolepsy from his friend. The story will describe how these two men struggle to move ahead despite their own problems. Co-stars include Abe Sadao, Tanihara Shosuke and Yo Kimiko.
