Mei Nagano:Enjoying a "cherry blossom viewing by myself" with jumbo takoyaki "Is that bad? (laughs)"

Actor Mei Nagano attended the "TBS DRAMA COLLECTION 2025 Spring" joint production presentation for TBS's dramas starting in April, held in Tokyo on March 29th. Nagano, who will appear in the Sunday Theatre drama "Caster" (Sundays at 9pm) starting on April 13th, was asked about "the latest news that has happened around me," and she revealed, "I went cherry blossom viewing yesterday."

When asked who was there, Nagano replied, "Only one person." When the MC instinctively asked back, "Only one person?", Nagano replied with a smile, "Is it bad to go cherry blossom viewing alone?", making everyone around laugh. She went on to explain, "I bought a jumbo takoyaki and ate it by myself. While looking at the cherry blossoms," and added, "It's the season after all."

The drama is a social entertainment drama set in a TV news program, where the truth buried in the darkness is pursued and evil is punished. Shindo Soichi (Hiroshi Abe ), a man who believes that "the truth moves the world!", is a reporter and newscaster in the social affairs department at a public broadcasting station, but is poached by the president of the commercial TV station JBN and becomes the main newscaster of "Newsgate", a news program that is suffering from low ratings. In order to "communicate the truth", he will use any means necessary, conducting interviews and investigations according to his own rules, and drawing those around him in with his overwhelming presence. Nagano plays Sakikubo Hana, the general director who struggles to get by despite being pushed around by Shindo.

The event on this day was a joint press conference for a new drama that will start on the same station in April. Abe, who co-stars in the drama, Michieda Shunsuke and Takashi Okabe from the popular group " Naniwa Danshi " attended, as well as Mikako Tabe, Noriko Eguchi, Dean Fujioka, and Wataru Ichinose , who appear in the drama series " Taigan no Kaji ~Kore ga, Watashi no Ikiru Michi~ " (Tuesday 10pm, starts on the 1st), and Mamiya Shotaro, Kamishiraishi Moka, Ryoki Miyama, and Nakamura Toru, who appear in the drama series "Ignite -Hou no Muhousha-" (Friday 10pm, starts on the 18th), also attended.
