Production press conference of summer 2013 drama "Naru you ni Naru sa"

The production press conference of TBS summer 2013 drama "Naru you ni Naru sa" was held on 3 July which was attended by the cast members Tachi Hiroshi, Asano Atsuko, Izumi Pinko and the scriptwriter Hashida Sugako. The drama will begin its run from 12 July at 10pm on Fridays (first episode starts at 9pm) and also includes Shida Mirai, Yasuda Shota and Konno Mahiru in the cast. Tachi and Asano who last worked together 8 years ago are playing a married couple this time. As Hashida's scripts are known for their long lines, Tachi jokingly commented that he kept messing up his lines as much as 52 or 53 times while Asano only did so twice. Izumi also "complained" that Tachi kept changing the lines at will which led Hashida to say that she looks forward to seeing how Tachi will "destroy" her script with these changes.

Tachi Hiroshi & Asano Atsuko to star in TBS summer 2013 drama "Naru you ni Naru sa"

Tachi Hiroshi and Asano Atsuko will co-star in the TBS summer 2013 drama "Naru you ni Naru sa" which begins its run from July in the Fridays 10pm timeslot. This is the first time in 8 years since Tachi and Asano last worked together in the 2005 movie "Mada mada abunai deka" and they play a married couple in this drama written by Hashida Sugako who feels a sense of loss after their children grow up and leave the family home. As such, they start a restaurant at their house and becomes a family of sorts with the three young people who work at their restaurant.

Tachi's character is a salaryman who went to various countries for work and raises the idea of opening a restaurant at home to his wife (Asano) when he's about to retire. With this move, they end up "attracting" three problematic young people i.e. Shida Mirai who plays a girl that just left a girls' rehabilitation centre and is living with the couple while working at the restaurant, Yasuda Shota who coops himself up at home and Konno Mahiru who plays a a divorced woman trying to escape from her husband who had abused her physically. Izumi Pinko will round up the cast as the elder sister of Asano's character who operates the ryotei owned by the sisters' family.
