According to Japanese media reports on the 1st, the list of actors in the NHK morning drama "ちょうつく" in the first half of 22 years as the heroine of the actress Kuroshima Yucai (23 years old) was published on the official Twitter of Nippon Television. The heroine, Ryoko Higa, the sister of Akiko, is played by Haruna Kawaguchi (26 years old). Kawaguchi is the first to appear in a morning drama.
The drama is the 106th morning drama that depicts the bond between the heroine who chases her culinary dreams from Okinawa to Tokyo and the four brothers with rich personalities. Kawaguchi plays Ryoko, the eldest daughter of the Higa family and a first-class student of the Endeavor family.
Kawaguchi said energetically, "I think she must be a very reliable and responsible sister." In this wonderful place in Okinawa, if you can deeply depict and convey the love and bondage of your family and brothers, you will be very excited from now on. I wish I could struggle and finish it desperately."
Regarding his first appearance in a morning drama, Yamada commented, "I thought it would be filmed for a long time, so I felt that the sense of unity and achievement of the team was very strong. I think the morning drama is a work loved by all ages, and I feel very honored and very much looking forward to it."
As for Okinawa, which is the stage of the play, she commented, "Sure enough, I think it's a warm and leisurely place where time passes, and people are also warm and laid-back, and I think it's a really great place." I love spicy soy sauce and soba noodles, and I usually eat them."
"ちむちゃん" is a Okinawan dialect that refers to the excitement of the "heart". The drama will be broadcast on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Okinawa's return to its homeland.
It was written by Daisuke Habara, the screenwriter of the film Invincible Youth and the morning drama Azheng, and the story was written by John Kabila, who was from Okinawa.
The cast is expected to be released within 3 weeks, when Yukiko's mother, Yuko, will be played by Yuki Nakama (41), father Kenzo by Nantomo Omori (49), and brother Kenhide by RyuHosho (28).
The second week is "Okinawans" and the third week is "People of Tokyo and Tsurumi".
