Completion screening of new WOWOW drama "Yume wo ataeru"

The completion screening event of new WOWOW drama "Yume wo ataeru" was held on 14 May which was attended by the leads Komatsu Nana and Kikuchi Rinko. The drama which will begin its run from 16 May in the Saturdays 10pm timeslot, features Komatsu as a young girl aspiring to be a star but getting caught in the desires of the showbiz world and having to grapple with her mother's (Kikuchi) excessive love and attention on her. Komatsu remarked that this is the first time that she had to raise her voice so much as her character gets into heated arguments with her mother and she was surprised by how loud she could speak. On the other hand, Kikuchi who is playing the mother from the age of 32 to 48, commented that it was the first time she had a mother's role with such a big daughter and she relished the challenge of doing so.

Kikuchi will be singing the drama's theme song titled "dISderEAm" under the name Rinbjo" which marks her first attempt in doing so. Kikuchi revealed that she had always wanted to sing the theme song for her works so when the offer to do so did come, it was like a dream come true for her.
