Last year's Okawa drama "Kirin Is Coming", in which Kawaguchi played Oda Nobunaga's wife, GuiDi, has now announced that he will no longer appear in the national drama "Kirin Is Coming", which has been broadcast for two consecutive years. Hideya Matsujiri (35), who was originally scheduled to star in "Kirin Is Coming", quit the show before the show due to a drug incident, and Kawaguchi replaced Sawajiri in the role, and completed the task, and also grew as an actor.
The head of production, Kobayashi, said that because Kawaguchi's acting skills in "Kirin are coming" left a deep impression on him, he decided to invite Kawaguchi to star in "Surging Hearts". "[The character's character] is not only serious, but also immature and humorous, and it is important to be able to resonate from time to time. I think Kawaguchi is an actress who can challenge all the roles she is not familiar with and play her well. Kobayashi recognized Kawaguchi's talent.
