Completion press conference of new WOWOW drama "Garasu no Ashi"

The completion press conference of new WOWOW drama "Garasu no Ashi" was held on 20 Feb at Space FS Shiodome which was attended by the leads Aibu Saki and Ozawa Yukiyoshi. The drama which will begin its run from 21 Feb in the Saturdays 10pm timeslot, features Aibu as a woman who marries her mother's lover and gets involved in an extramarital affair with another man. Although Aibu attracted a lot of attention with her semi-nude pose on the drama's poster, she said that being nude in front of the camera wasn't as much of an issue compared to having to make acrobatic poses which she joked that almost made her body twisted.

Aibu Saki to star in new WOWOW drama "Garasu no Ashi"

Aibu Saki will be starring in the new WOWOW drama "Garasu no Ashi" (The Glass Reed) which is due to be shown from 21 February in the Saturdays 10pm timeslot. In this drama adapted from Naoki Award winner Sakuragi Shino's same-titled novel set in Kushiro, Hokkaido, Aibu  will take on the role of Setsuko, a woman who had been raised by an abusive mother and later marries her mother's lover. However, even after getting married, Setsuko is involved with another man and eventually kills her mother and other people.

Filming begins around the 20th of this month.

As Aibu has been taking on baddie roles of late which had gained her quite a bit of attention, she said that she is fine with the intimate scenes but finds it difficult to imagine having to kill her mother like what Setsuko does. In addition, she finds the idea of having an extramarital affair unacceptable so these are the emotional hurdles she has to overcome while playing her character.
