More details about M-Ai subeki hito ga ite

EXILE’s Alan Shirahama joins the cast as Masa’s “right-hand man” at A VICTORY, Sho Nagarukawa.

Katsunori Takahashi is playing a character named Nakatani, who is described as the president of a company Ayu works for. Will this address her Nippon Columbia days?

Masanobu Takashima will play Ohama, the president of A VICTORY. Fans of actual Avex may recall that Ayu and Max essentially staged a coup that forced founder and then-president Tatsumi Yoda to resign in 2004, and one has to wonder if any bad blood will surface here.

However, the most important addition is surely as Minami Tanaka as Reika Himeno: Masa’s secretary with a “mysterious eyepatch.” Why is it so mysterious?

The rest of the supporting cast includes:

* Sayu Kubota plays Risa Tamki, another singer and Ayu’s first friend in Tokyo.
* Mayuko Kawakita plays Mika Nojima, Ayu’s manager.
* Michiko Tanaka as Asuka Yoshida, Ohama’s Secretary–no word on whether or not she will have an eyepatch (preferably also mysterious and over the other eye).
* Shinya Niiro as Kiraku Tenmei, a producer at A VICTORY.
* Yoshie Ichige as Sachiko, Ayu’s grandmother (Ayu’s grandmother helped raise her and passed away the day she recorded her debut single, “poker face”)
* Ayaka Den–Avex Artist Academy alum and member of OnePixcel- as Mari Nishitani, Ayu’s rival.
* Natsuhi Ueno as Satomi Shiina, one of Ayu’s relatives in Tokyo.
* Kena Mizue as Naoki Sayama, owner of the bar Masa goes to (perhaps a stand-in for the Velfarre nightclub?)

While Kalen–herself a young artist signed with Avex–will be promoting a new single at the beginning of April, the theme song for the show will actually be the original “M” that inspired the book.

The show begins airing April 18.
