Eiji Wentz and Becky have been cast in Fuji TV's upcoming "Nodame Cantabile" drama special, set to air for two nights at the start of 2008.

Tentatively titled "Nodame Cantabile Shinshun Special," the drama continues with the original story of the manga, following Nodame (Juri Ueno) and Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki) as they pursue their studies in Europe.

Wentz, whose father is German-American and mother is Japanese, will play the character of Frank, a French student who is also an anime otaku. Meanwhile, the British-Japanese Becky will be donning a blond wig to play the part of the Russian student Tanya.
