Kamenashi Kazuya & Fukada Kyoko Find Their New Roles Challenging

KAT-TUN's Kamenashi Kazuya and actress Fukada Kyoko attended the press conference for their upcoming TV Asahi Winter 2015 drama, "Second Love". The series' script was written by Shizuka Oishi.

The drama follows the story of 'Kei Taira' (Kamenashi), a skilled dancer who later met and fell into a relationship with senior high teacher, 'Yui Nishihara' (Fukada). Nishihara is older than Taira and the situation gets even more twisted as she also has an extra-marital affair with her colleague.

The two actors were both surprised with their characters and the script as it has a touch of provocativeness especially for Kamenashi who is often required to be shirtless in some scenes. They also hope that they will get a notch higher in their careers from playing their roles in the new TV series.

Catch Second Love's pilot episode tonight at 11:15 p.m. It will air every Friday.
