Koda Kumi to return to the small screen with “Ikemen desu ne”
Today it was revealed that singer Koda Kumi will make her first drama guest appearance in five years through the upcoming TBS drama, “Ikemen desu ne“, which stars actress Takimoto Miori, Kis-My-Ft2’s Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke, as well as Hey!Say!JUMP’s Yaotome Hikaru.
“Ikemen desu ne” is a Japanese remake of the Korean drama “You’re Beautiful“. Takimoto plays a girl disguised as her twin brother, and ends up joining the band ‘A.N.JELL’, where she’s caught in a ‘love square’ with the other three members.
Since the drama is said to show ‘the other side’ of the Japanese music industry, it is bound to have several cameo appearance by well-known artists and other people from the industry. Koda will be the first such guest and of course play as the ‘big singer Koda Kumi’ herself.
Koda also revealed that she was a big fan of the original Korean drama and quite nervous about her guest appearance. “I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all. Once I was at the set, I wasn’t able to say my lines firmly and caused trouble for everyone else“, she said and added, “I tackled the filming with the mindset that I don’t want to look out of place next to all the actors.” Even though it was only for a short guest appearance, Koda tried really hard to act her scenes to the best of her abilities.
“Ikemen desu ne” will start on July 15th with a special two-and-a-half hour long first episode, which features the cameo from Koda Kumi.
