Filming of the TV series Drifter (TV Asahi, which aired Friday at 11:15 p.m.), which will begin airing on July 23, starring actor Koshi Saito, recently began filming. The original filming was a scene of a naked man played by Saito "floating" to the coast, and the scene was also made public.
"Drifter" was curated and originally produced by Yasushi Akimoto, who has produced works such as "Your Turn" (Nippon Television) and "Co-Acting NG" (TV Tokyo). A mysterious man (Saito) who drifts to the coast leads people to solve a series of sensational events in the world, and is revered as the "Godfather"... story. Mai Shiraishi, Lily Frank, Eiichiro Funakoshi, Junki Tozuka and others will also appear in the film.
In Episode 1, three female high school students are walking along a coast when they find a naked man (Saito). After being taken to the hospital, the man was suspected of having a memory impairment and had swam quite a long distance. Responsible physician Eiichi Kunihara (Funaetsu) suggests that if there is something that comes to mind, write it down, and the man begins to depict a landscape somewhere.
On the other hand, a missing girl was found elsewhere. The location was found to be very similar to the landscape depicted by the man, whether the man possessed the ability to foresee and began to cause a commotion on the Internet .... (Cassie King/Translation)
