Sho Sakurai enjoying the local drinks in Okinawa
On location shooting at a tropical beach with emerald green seas, Arashi’s Sho Sakurai and actress Keiko Kitagawa are in Okinawa to work the special drama episode of “謎解きはディナーのあとで (Nazo-toki wa Dinner no atode)”, reports Tokyo Walker on February 14.
The Nazo-toki team have been doing on location shoots since February 10 for the drama, which is based on the award-winning novel of the same name. The story follows Reiko Hosho (Kitagawa), one of the richest heiresses in the world and now a new police detective, and Kageyama (Sakurai), Reiko’s mean-mouthed butler who uses his amazing detective skills to guide Reiko to figure out who the killer is .
The production team and cast had spent two days on the Okinawa beach, where the weather stayed fine most of the time, although there was a little rain on the second day’s morning.
It has been reported in between shoots, Sakurai had a great time trying out the local drinks. During the night he would go into the convenience store to buy 泡盛 (Awamori, an alcoholic drink made in Okinawa). Then, during dinner Arashi would try some 古酒 (Kusu, old vintage Awamori).
Sakurai said this shoot felt like the real end to the drama.
“When we finished filming the drama series in December, we’d already been told there was going to be an special episode, so this shoot feels like the real finish. We’ve got a week’s worth of shooting to do, and I hope we can all give it our best and stay in one piece.”
The episode begins with the death of a Western painter. Then, the story moves to Okinawa. Not only will fans get to see Reiko and Kageyama work together to solve the mystery, the two will be joined by the drama’s regular cast and some special guests.
“謎解きはディナーのあとでスペシャル (Nazo-toki wa Dinner no atode Special)” will go on air in Japan on March 27.

Arashi mystery face off! Ohno and Aiba each get lead in two upcoming dramas
Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno and Masaki Aiba will star in dramas starting from April, it was announced on February 21, reports Sponichi Annex and Oricon.
Ohno will play a detective in “鍵のかかった部屋 (Kagi no Kakatta Heya, The Locked Room)”, while Aiba will play a police detective who solves cases with his partner, a cat, in “三毛猫ホームズの推理 (Mike-neko Holmes no Suiri, Calico Cat Holmes’ Mysteries)”.
“Let’s go out for drinks when we’ve finished shooting! If you’re having trouble solving a case then let me know,” Ohno said.
“Let’s go fishing when we finish shooting. I hope we’ll never give up, even when we can’t crack a case,” Aiba said.
“Kagi no Kakatta Heya” is based on Yusuke Kishi’s novel of the same name. Unlike normal detective stories, the novel focuses on cases that happened inside a room with locked doors and windows. It is up to Ohno’s detective character to solve the mystery. The Arashi leader said his new role is a complete change from his Kaibutsu-kun drama.
“It’s my first human role in a long time. It’s also a character I’ve never had experience with playing so I’m hoping to do my best! I’ll see you behind the closed door!”
“Mike-neko Holmes no Suiri” is based on Jiro Akagawa’s novel of the same name. It follows a police detective who manages to solve cases with the help of a calico cat who can understand human language and has a talent for solving mysteries. Aiba said there would be extra things to look out for in the drama other than his scared-of-looking-at-blood-and-scared-of-women police detective character.
“I want my acting to balance out my character’s comical side and serious side. There’ll also be a number of new characters made for the drama that don’t come up in the book.”
Lastly, Aiba had some advice for Ohno.
“Don’t get too sunburnt that the make up department tells you off!”
