Eiichiro Funakoshi (49) and Satomi Ishihara (22) will co-star in a drama special based on the Jiro Asada novel "Tsubakiyama Kacho no Nanokakan." The book was previously turned into a 2006 movie by director Keita Kono, starring Toshiyuki Nishida (61) and Misaki Ito (32).
"Tsubakiyama Kacho" tells the story of a middle-aged salaryman named Kazuaki Tsubakiyama (Funakoshi) who suddenly dies. Because of some unresolved matters, he returns to the world for just three days, but he is now in the form of a young woman named Tsubaki Kazuyama (Ishihara).
Kinya Kitaoji (66) has also been cast in the drama, playing a yakuza killed by mistake who returns to life as a lawyer.
TV Asahi plans to broadcast the drama sometime this coming winter.
