Actor Nao attended the "TBS DRAMA COLLECTION 2024 AUTUMN" held in Tokyo on October 5th. Nao, who stars in the drama series "Ano Kuzu wo Hitte Yatai Nanda" (Tuesdays at 10pm) starting on the 8th, showed a surprised expression when she learned about a commonality between her and Sakurai Yuki, who was also in attendance at the event.
The event on this day was a joint press conference for a new drama that will start on the same station this fall. Sakurai, who stars in the drama series "Lion's Lair" (Fridays at 10pm) starting on the 11th, said, "We've never acted together, but we share the commonality of being from Fukuoka and both being born on February 10th, so I feel a connection between us," to which Nao, who did not seem to have known, loudly exclaimed, "What!" in surprise.
When Sakurai asked, "Sometimes I make mistakes in the Fukuoka dialect. Have you ever had that experience, Nao?" Nao sympathized, saying, "I don't think the intonation in Fukuoka is that different (from standard Japanese), but I still do it a few times every time."
The drama "I Want to Punch That Scum" is a romantic comedy with an original story about Sato Hokomi (Nao), who is dumped by her boyfriend on her wedding day, and who meets a mysterious blonde man, Kuzuya Kairi (Tamamori Yuta), at the lowest point in her life. She decides, "I don't want to be made to cry by scumbag men anymore!" and starts boxing to change herself.
Tamamori, Okazaki Sae, Watabe Atsuro, who co-stars with Nao, Yagira Yuya, who stars in "Lion's Lair," and Kamiki Ryunosuke, who stars in the drama series "Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea" (Sundays at 9pm, starts on the 20th), also attended the event.
