二宮和也、ドラマ主演「本能えぐる作品に」

人気グループ、嵐の二宮和也（２５）が１０月スタートのＴＢＳ系ドラマ「流星の絆」（金曜後10.00）に主演することが２２日、分かった。直木賞作家、 東野圭吾氏（５０）の同名ミステリーを原作に、宮藤官九郎（３８）が平成１２年の同局系「池袋ウエストゲートパーク」以来８年ぶりにオリジナル作以外の脚 本を手がける。

二宮演じる主人公が弟、妹と１４年前に自身の両親を殺害した犯人を捜していく。二宮は「親身に兄弟の絆を作り、皆さんの理性ではなく本能をえぐるような作品になるよう努めます」と早くも意気込んでいる。

また、弟役はＮＥＷＳの錦戸亮（２３）。フジ系「ラストフレンズ」でＤＶ男を怪演した直後で、今度はどんな演技を見せるが注目だ。妹役は女優の戸田恵梨香（１９）が演じる。


Ninomiya Kazunari starting in a "scooping out your instinct" drama

Popular group Arashi's Ninomiya Kazunari (25), starting in October, will be starring in TBS's drama  "Ryuusei no Kizuna" (Meteor Bonds) (Friday at 10pm), it was announced on the 22nd (of July).  Based off Naoki Prize winner Higashino Keigo's (50) mystery of the same name, it will be the first original work in 8 years for Kutou Kankurou (38) since "Ikebukuro West Gate Park" in 2000 for the same channel, with the exception of producing scenarios.

Ninomiya is to play the lead role who, with his younger brother and sister, witnessed the murder of his parents 14 years ago and go in search of the criminal. Ninomiya says "it tries to establish sibling bonds kindly, and to become a work that scoops out not your reason, but your instinct" and is already very enthusiastic about it.

Also, the role of the younger brother is NEWS' Nishikido Ryo (23). On the heels of Fuji TV's "Last Friends", where he played a mysterious DV (domestic volience) man, what kind of performance we'll be seeing this time will be noticed. The sister will be played by actress Toda Erika (19).

Thanks for the translation. So Nino is playing the lead role. I hope this might increase the chances of Arashi doing the theme song. XD

Thank you for the news! (: Can't wait for the drama~

[ichigo-246.livejournal.com]

so it's official! AWESOMEEE~ <33
thanks so much for the translation :)

[miyasan.livejournal.com]

so it's true?! Sugoi neee~

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

it was all gravy...until Erika Toda was mentioned. ugh.

thank you for translating this, though! :D

[litost.livejournal.com]

i'm so glad i'm not the only one that feels this way.

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

nah, I feel you bb. my lack of caring for her (to put it nicely) is actually making me consider not watching this. ):

[litost.livejournal.com]

hah same here. i'll give the promos and teasers a chance to convince me otherwise.

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

basically. but I'm feeling like they'll have to be epically good.

(PS: yay Jokerized icons!)

[litost.livejournal.com]

which makes me resent toda more.

(ps. hanging around ontd does that to icons amirite?)

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until I can watch a drama in its entirety without her face showing up, ever. it can't come too soon, but I'm holding out.

(PS: totes. the mass TDK posts make me so happy, it's a little embarrassing lol)

[litost.livejournal.com]

last season's batch of dramas were toda-free but then there was masami if i recall correctly.

(honestly the only thing i found epic about the dark knight was heath ledger. :/ but ontd is great because of the amount of fandom wank that happens there.)

mind if i friend you? there aren't enough toda haters in the world.

[rockthecliche.livejournal.com]

the only dramas from last season that I watched were Last Friends and Zettai Kareshi, but she didn't show up in those, so I was v. v. happy. don't even get me started on masami.

(well, everyone else kind of pales in comparison to how Heath did, but I'll be a complete liar if I said that the movie wasn't two and a half hours of complete eyecandy. but ontd is amazing; they're so wanky, intellectual, asinine and ignorant, all the time!)

not at all! I seriously thought I was the only one, so I've never spoken up about how much I don't like her.

[litost.livejournal.com]

you know a bad actress when you see one. A+

yay added. :D

[nana-komatsu7.livejournal.com]

it's true Toda Erika is not that good... but Kazu is WONDERFUL. And he is the lead. And Kudo Kankuro is the screenwriter. He is a GOD at writing.

this is a must see drama *_*

[jellyfishsongs.livejournal.com]

Haha, now we know when Maou's ending. But one Arashi drama after the other ♥

[asfanino.livejournal.com]

[shaneen.livejournal.com]

yay thanks for the trasnlation (:
erika seems to be everywhere these days!

i can't wait to see nino and ryo, ohman<3

[ferfa.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translating!

[zomboid.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translating, but isn't it Ryuusei no Kizuna? Not Ryousei?

I'm looking forward to this drama, since the script is going to be written by the same guy who wrote Kisarazu Cat's Eye. ^^

[maiaide.livejournal.com]

Oops typo. Did he do KCE too?

[maiaide.livejournal.com]

Oh he did! That makes me even more excited. Thanks for catching my typos. XD

[zomboid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he did. His dramas are usually know for being on the cracky side though. They're always really innovative though. So I really don't know how serious the story will be. According to the Japanese wiki, Kouichi knows the secret recipe of hash meat with rice that his dead father passed down to him. His parents owned a Western eatery before they died.

[abtomat.livejournal.com]

awesome awesome awesome. it's so funny how drama rumors are so close to the truth. thanks for sharing the news! these kind of suspense dramas are getting popular with our je boys huh.

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

yay! I love that the rumors are actually true. I wonder if it'll actually be NEWS doing the theme song? Since Arashi has had a lot of releases this year... But NEWS hasn't had a theme song for a drama yet so the chance of that happening may not be that great.

[belcap.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for translating! I can't wait for October! Ryo & Nino! Yay! *happy dance* Something to look forward to other than hockey hee hee

[saikouchan12.livejournal.com]

yay!!! i just love nino & ryo-chan!! can't wait to watch this!!^_^

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

I might have to watch it just for Erika Toda. ._. I find it kind of funny that there were people before me kinda hating on her. XD

[hitomito.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the translations.
The trio cast seems interesting.
I have been waiting to see Nino on screen for so long^^
