▲Tomohisa Yamashita
In this weekly interview with Bunkharu, we learned that Tomohisa Yamashita (36) took on the job of starring in a TELEVISION series for the first time, about a year after leaving Janis.
The final appearance is based on the popular manga "Integrity Real Estate" that is being serialized in Bigcomic, and is expected to air on NHK from April next year. Yamashita will play the protagonist, a real estate agent who has forgotten how to lie.
Yamashita has not starred in a TV series for two years since "The Odds are In Hand" aired on TBS in April 2019. He has starred in many popular masterpieces such as "DRAGON SAKURA" (TBS), "Code Blue" (Fuji), but disappeared from television after quitting Janis, and his main work shifted to overseas dramas and movies.
Also only through a vocal cameo in the sequel to Dragon Sakura
In the sequel to "Dragon Sakura", which aired in April this year, although the actors of the previous part have all arrived, Yamashita only made cameos through sound and did not appear. Private TV media are still jealous of Janis, and there are still many restrictions on the work of artists who quit like Yamashita. The 2006 TV series "Fraud Hunter" (TBS) starring Yamashita, like this "Integrity Real Estate", is written by writer Takeshi Natsuhara, but it is expected that the sequel to "Deception Hunter" filmed next year will not invite Yamashita, and is currently tentatively scheduled to star by Hirano Ziyao, a member of King & Prince.

In 2016, when SMAP's Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Goro Inagaki quit Janis, the first person to invite them to participate in the TV series was NHK, who also had relatively few concerns.
Yamashita is currently filming an overseas TV series "Drops of God" (Hulu) in France, which is expected to be released in 2022. After returning to China at the beginning of next year, I will enter the group to shoot new dramas. Just as SMAP also began to appear on private TV stations after starring in the NHK TV series, Yamashita may soon officially return to TV after this broadcast.
