Press conference and special screening of TBS Autumn 2014 drama "Sakura ~ Jiken wo Kiku Onna ~"

The press conference and special screening of TBS Autumn 2014 drama "Sakura ~ Jiken wo Kiku Onna ~" was held on 14 October which was attended by cast members Nakama Yukie, Sato Ryuta, Ono Takuro, Morioka Yutaka and Ayane. The drama which begins its run from 20 October in the Mondays 8pm timeslot, is the first drama series Nakama is appearing in since she got married to actor Tanaka Tetsushi last month. As this was also Nakama's first public appearance since her marriage announcement, she was greeted by congratulatory cheers from the media to which she expressed her gratitude for the well-wishes.

Nakama plays a police officer named Mizusawa Sakura who has to go undercover and pick up leads while taking on various identities. As a result, she has to put on various costumes and uniforms during the filming. Sato Ryuta plays Sakura's buddy and this is the first time in a long while since Nakama and Sato are working together. However, the chemistry between them is still very much present which Ono said was like a couple's bantering.
