Yamada Takayuki will be starring in the TV Tokyo Winter 2017 drama "Yamada Takayuki no Cannes Kokusai Eigasai" (Yamada Takayuki's Cannes International Film Festival" which will be shown from 6 January 2017 at 12.52am on Fridays. The drama produced by documentary director Matsue Tetsuaki describes Yamada's summer this year as he tries to produce a movie with director Yamashita Nobuhiro in a bid to win an award at the Cannes International Firm Festival.

Yamada recounted that he had learnt a lot through the process  even though he wouldn't say that all the decisions made were perfect. However, by putting his dream into action, there were things which he realised as a result and they may be useful to his life in future. Yamashita who was brought into this adventure by Yamada, joked that he will run away from the latter next time if he suggests anything like this again and called upon everyone to be careful of Yamada who has the magic to make people do his bidding. Matsue also chipped in to "apologise" to all those who were affected and inconvenienced by Yamada's whims during this project especially the organisers at Cannes. However, despite so, they managed to get some phenomenal footage and hope that the drama can be shown till the last episode without any hitches.
