Yuma Nakayama, B.I.Shadow debut for “Koishite Akuma”

Early last month, it was announced that Kansai Johnny's Jr. member Yuma Nakayama (15) is starring in a new drama series on Fuji TV. Details about the story have now been revealed.

The drama is titled “Koishite Akuma ~ Vampire Boy.” Nakayama stars as a young vampire named Ruka who has entered the human world. Although he hates humans, he begins attending high school and falls for his homeroom teacher, played by Rosa Kato (23). Masahiko Kondo (44) has been cast as another vampire, who serves as Ruka’s “chaperone.” Johnny’s Jr. member Shintaro Morimoto (11) will also appear in the series.

Nakayama will also be singing the theme song as part of a new Johnny's group, called “Yuma Nakayama with B.I.Shadow.” The five members have an average age of 14.4 years old, surpassing Hey! Say! JUMP as the youngest Johnny’s group at the time of their major label debut.

B.I.Shadow is a Johnny’s Jr. unit that formed last year. Their members are Kento Nakajima (15), Fuma Kikuchi (14), Hokuto Matsumura (13), and Yugo Kochi (15). Together with Nakayama, they will release the single “Akuma na Koi” on July 15.

The “Koishite Akuma” drama series will air on Tuesdays at 10:00pm, beginning on July 7.
