Shinkawa Yua will be starring in the new Tokai TV Spring 2018 drama "Itsumademo Shiroi Hane" (Always white feathers) which will begin its run from 7 April in the Saturdays 11.40pm timeslot. The drama which is based on the same-titled novel by Fujioka Youko, is set in a nursing school. Shinkawa plays the lead character Kizaki Rumi who barely scraps through to enter the nursing school after failing her university entrance exams. She has never had the intention to become a nurse and is actually poor at interacting with others. While pondering over when to quit school and whether to retake the national university entrance exam, she goes ahead with the 3-year-long practical training where she meets various people and makes her change her mind about being a nurse. Ito Sairi plays Yamada Chinatsu who is in the same team as Rumi during the training and very clumsy at work. Saeki Noriko, a housewife and Endo Touka, a quiet and mysterious woman, who have their reasons for wanting to become a nurse are also members of the same team. Other cast members include Kato Masaya who play Banjo Kotaro, the director of the school.
Shinkawa commented that as life is never smoothsailing, her character struggles internally to find the meaning and value of her existence. As such, she hopes to be able to show the delicate side of Rumi and her thinking through her acting with the help of the staff and cast members. Ito commented that she had always wanted to try the feeling of juggling acting with studying so this was a dream come true for her as she had to study a lot for this role. As such, she looks forward to picking up a lot of things from everyone on the set.
Filming began in early March.
