On December 4, TBS will broadcast a drama titled "Kimi ga Hikari wo Kureta." Actress Emi Wakui will play a woman running a type of youth support institution together with her husband (Takehiro Murata), and who reaches out to Miyuki (Riko Narumi), a young girl who has repeatedly attempted to slit her wrists. The program will run in the 9:00pm time slot.

Pop idol Aya Matsuura has started performing again, after she was forced to cancel two concerts earlier this month due to pain in her jaw. She gave two concerts on Sunday at Tokyo's Koseinenkin Hall, during which she apologized to fans for the cancelled concerts. Matsuura will again perform at the same venue on the 29th. For now, she will continue being treated for her condition.
