Hey guys,

I just saw this on Twitter, so of course I had to share it with all of you.

Looks like Nino is getting a new drama in April!

My Japanese sucks, but from what little I gleaned here, it looks like Nino is set to start a new drama (Saturday 9pm) in April. He will be playing a teacher for the first time, and his character will be coaching a weak (?) high school baseball team. Japanese speakers, please let me know if I am misinformed here.

[ETA: So I don't know if he's going to be a coach, but he's playing a teacher, and this drama is based on a nonfiction book about a high school baseball team.]

Here's another Twitter pic of the same news:

I checked the Johnny's website but there was nothing about this new drama of Nino's there,, so I will say that this is just a rumor for now. But I REALLY HOPE IT'S TRUE because Nino hasn't done a drama in so long (not since Freeter) and I love being able to look forward to his acting every week.

[ETA: IT's TRUE! I'm not the best at recognizing what sources are reliable in Japan, so I tend to be overly suspicious of all news. But others have since informed me that this drama is pretty much a confirmed thing! So excited and happy for Nino. This sort of story seems like just the type of thing he would be able to pull off well. I mean, it's baseball, right? Haha!]

My Japanese isn't very good as well, but I heard about Nino getting a new dorama at the end of last year, too. I'm probably mistaken but I just made myself believe that I recognize the title's kanji from what I read then.
Thanks for the info (I was starting to think we'd never see him in a dorama again...)

When it's in the paper like this it's most definitely true. Jnet is always the last to be updated it seems. It's like that for most drama announcements. Paper tends to be firat. XD I am excited for this.

Yeah since it's a newspaper it's a good source. Tabloids are a no and twitter tends to have some truth. But not all the time.

I really want that Nino has a new drama. If he acts a teacher and coach of a baseball team, he will be cool -> i think so.
But i like Nino has a act drama like Gantz. :">
Hope so!!! :)
