Fuji TV revealed in October that it is producing a special documentary drama titled "Kamiji Yusuke Monogatari," based on the life of rising male idol Yusuke Kamiji. The lead actor playing Kamiji has now been decided.
19-year-old Yuki Yoshida, a second-year student at a university in the Shiga prefecture, was chosen by audition for the role. About 1,500 pros and amateurs had tried out for the part, but Yoshida managed to come out on top and make his dreams of show business come true.
The special is scheduled to air sometime during next spring. Kamiji will be singing the theme song, making his solo debut under the name "Yusuke." The song, titled "Himawari," is being released as a single on March 11.
