Mirai Shida, Haruna Kawaguchi co-star in mobile drama

The 18th LISMO drama series has been decided. Titled “Koiiro Waltz,” the show will co-star Mirai Shida (17) and Haruna Kawaguchi (15). Although they belong to the same agency, this is their first time acting together.

Shida has established herself as a talented actress in both television and film, and she recently played the lead voice in Studio Ghibli’s animated film “Karigurashi no Arrietty.” However, she commented that “Koiiro Waltz” was a new experience for her, due to it being a drama for mobile phones. Because of the smaller screen size, there were many times when both actresses had to bring their faces very close together to appear on screen at the same time. As a result, Shida laughingly said she realized just how pretty Kawaguchi’s skin and eyes are.

Shida and Kawaguchi play two high school classmates named Natsu and Aki. As part of their school’s theater club, they perform a play about a love triangle with one of their male classmates, but the love triangle ultimately spills over into their real lives.

“GANTZ” director Shinsuke Sato is directing the drama, consisting of four 5-minute episodes. The drama will begin distribution on the LISMO Channel on November 5, with one episode released every Friday.
